Vernon Rickman Book
2019-01-01 - 2019-12-31 | Carriage Factory Art Gallery, 128 E. 6th Street, Newton, KS, 67114, United States
The life and work of Newton-born artist Vernon Rickman is highlighted in “Vernon Rickman, An Artful Life,“ a book by Beverley Olson Buller.
Carriage Factory Art Gallery published the book, which was released in mid-February 2019.
Rickman was born in Newton in 1929, the second son of Theodore J. and Mattie Jordan Rickman. While attending Newton High School, art teacher Marie Orr encouraged and mentored him. After his high school graduation, he studied art in Kansas City, Missouri, and Cleveland, Ohio, before serving in the Korean War. He later graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts.
Rickman went on to join the Smithsonian and spent 20 years as a sculptor and artist there, creating many of the exhibits for the Museum of Natural History. His work depicted humans during different eras of history and geography. He retired from the Smithsonian in the 1980s.
After retirement, Rickman continued painting and sculpting, creating more than 300 oil paintings as well as sculptures and reliefs. Much of his work expresses the depth of suffering and human bondage. Longing and sorrow, isolation and darkness, the journey inward and outward are central themes of his art.
Rickman died in Newton on Dec. 27, 2013. Carriage Factory Art Gallery is the sole sales broker for his paintings.
The Carriage Factory Art Gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 316-284-2749 or visit www.carriagefactoryartgallery.com.

Alcohol Inks class with Pam Hayes. SOLD OUT.
She will provide all necessary supplies and no previous art or craft experience is required. Pam will demonstrate tips and techniques using alcohol inks on Yupo paper and ceramic tiles. She gives participants three bottles of ink, two 5×7” pieces of Yupo paper, two 6×6” white tiles, one 4×4” tile and latex gloves to use during class and to take home with them after class. She will also have a handout describing supplies and where to get them.
Pam provides a good number of bottled inks and alcohol ink markers to use during class, as well as cans of compressed air, straws, blending solution, spray bottles, brushes of various sizes, paper towels, palettes, bottles of 91% alcohol, stamp pads with felt, gel and Sharpie markers, and photos (her own) for visual reference. She will have examples of finished work to show participants.
Pam will have different ways to work with the inks depending on how abstract or realistic students would want to work. I show how to work with the ink markers for those who want more realism and control. Abstracts, landscapes and florals are typically what she has students create; but birds, animals and cityscapes are also possible.
Sixteen years and up is appropriate for the class, which will be limited to 12 participants.
