Alfred Gockel Autographed Sun Dance Print w/ custom Framing
Value: $300
Art Donated by: Alfred Gockel
Framing Donated by: The Framesmith Gallery
Alfred Alexander Gockel is an artist who can't sit still. While his paintings show a fluidity of color, character, and setting, the man himself likes to keep the creative process going by not even taking the time out to let one canvas dry before working on another. In fact, he regularly works on four paintings at the same time. All are displayed before him and he moves from one to the next to the next and back again. "My aim is to paint harmony," he says.

Tamara White Original
Artwork Value: $
Donated by: Tamara White
“My art is a process. It is a process of staying in touch with my intuitive and/or my spiritual side. Color is my inspiration. Painting on multiple canvases, using primarily a palette knife and oils straight from the tube, I apply repetitive layers of paint building up rich layers. One color combination always inspires the next. After applying multitudes of layers, the process is over when a final action no longer evokes a reaction."

Ginger Fox Original Art
Artwork Value: $
Donated by: Ginger Fox
The painting style of Dallas Artist Ginger Fox has been influenced by the Dutch still life painters' use of light and shadow. In addition, Fox has played on the idea of the Surrealist school of painting. In Fox's original fine art paintings the viewer is drawn to a familiar subject matter and is invited to interpret his own reality. Through the familiar, Fox presents a surreal idea through placement (almost suspension) on the canvas, using light and shadow as an additional tool. The viewer's psyche believes that his eyes see is "real". Ginger Fox's original abstract art is also a very popular painting style in addition to her original surrealism.
