A Block and Three Chips
works by Karl Kipp and his daughters Karen Stock,
Sandra Sattleberg and Barbara Baldo.
Upstairs Gallery

Artistic talent has a tendency to run in families. Whether that is due to genetics, parental influence, or both is a matter for debate. Whatever the case there can be no doubt that it has struck the Kipp family. Working primarily in graphite, the self taught Kipp has been drawing since his childhood and his talent and desire for art has clearly rubbed off on his three daughters Karen, Barbara, and Sandra.

"Creatively and a desire to do things with our hands was a part of growing up in the Kipp household," says Karen, "sometimes out of necessity, other times just because one wanted something to give someone else.

Barbara's favorite medium is pencil. She enjoys drawing people in non-traditional type portraits and especially enjoys reproducing old photos. She now lives in Hume, New York

Sandra's main interests are sewing and crocheting but a love of art "has kept me drawing since childhood. Her preference is black and white in ink but she enjoys experimenting with watercolors and oil pastels. She currently resides in Sanborn.

Karen, now living in Humphrey, New York enjoys all media and has no definite favorite. She has done work in stained glass, wood working and quilling amongst others.

Opening reception was Friday, October 5th.
