Archives of Art in the Center
on Aging
Each month, works of art from the Donald W. Reynolds Center
on Aging will be featured on this site. Here are the previous
featured artists and some of their works of art.
Featured artist from March 2001
Al Allen, known by many as "Arkansas’s Painter," captures the flavor
of the South through his renditions of light and the play of shadows on windows
and siding.
Born in 1925, Al was always interested in painting. He received his degree in
art from Louisiana State University. He has had several one-man shows throughout
the South and has been selected to be in countless juried exhibitions such as
the Arkansas Art Center’s annual Delta Show. Al’s work can be found in the
collections of the Arkansas Arts Center, The Brooks Museum, The Winthrop
Rockefeller collection and the Stephen’s collection.
Al Allen’s work can be found at Greg Thompson Fine Art in
Little Rock and Taylor's Contemporanea in Hot Springs.
Featured artist from July 2001
Alice Andrews has several great pieces of art in the Cooper
Communities Inc. Art Collection at the Donald W. Reynolds
Institute on Aging located on the University of Arkansas for
Medical Sciences campus.
Her pastels and paintings have a unique softness and vitality
to them and she derives a great deal of inspiration from her
home near the Buffalo National River in Northwest Arkansas.
She received her BA in Art from Henderson State University
and her M.F.A. from Baltimore, Maryland. She exhibits regularly
in the Arkansas Art Center's Prints, Drawings and Photos show
and is represented in Little Rock by Greg Thompson Fine Art
and in San Francisco by Robert Allen Fine Art.
Other collectors of the artist' work include The Arkansas Arts Center, Alltel
Corporation, Stephen's Inc., Acxiom Corporation and the Central Arkansas Public
Library.
Featured Artist from September 2001
Roger Carlisle is an artist in residence and a professor
of Fine Art at A.S.U. in Jonesboro. His paintings and drawings
are represented by the art consulting services of Greg Thompson
Fine Art, Inc. in Little Rock.
Born in Nebraska, Carlisle had an early affinity for wide-open
vistas, which he has transposed to his rich interpretations
of Arkansas landscapes. One of the most prolific landscape
painters in the state, Roger's accomplishments include designing
the Arkansas Sesquicentennial Stamp for the U.S. Postal Service
and regular exhibitions at the Arts in the Parks competition
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
There is one large oil on canvas and three pastel drawings
in the Cooper Communities Art Collection located at the Donald
W. Reynolds Institute on Aging building at The University of
Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. Other collectors
of the artist's work include Stephens Inc., Riceland Foods
International, and the Holiday Inn Corporation.
