With masterful use of line, palette and texture Lynn Boggess carries the viewer into his richly verdant and luscious landscapes, where these works were conceived.
Lynn Boggess’ subjects reflect the diverse nature of West Virginia and its flora. Boggess draws the viewer into the deeply receding spaces of his images. The pictures, devoid of human or animal habitation, focus on Nature, free of the influence of human activity. Boggess compels the viewer to contemplate each scene in turn, and finally the cycle of scenes: the lapse of hours; the alternating character of the rocks, of the trees and of the land; the turn of season. The paintings themselves become the spaces they portray.

As a result of working for over 30 years in the art of bronze patination, Patrick Kipper has one of the largest patina palettes nationally and internationally.
About 10 years ago, Patrick had to reduce his clientele from over 200 to just over 20 of his best clients. As a result, Patrick no longer takes on new full time clients on small works. From time to time, however, he does take on projects involving small
pieces of great value or importance and readily takes on life size and monumental bronze projects that may be a one time deal or have only a few within the cast edition. (Please contact Patrick if you are requesting his services for one of the above projects mentioned).
