The current artist in our patrons gallery is Mitchell Gerdes, who practices with photography. He uses an instant motion  process to connect and interact with the subject.  This gallery shows off several pictures from his unique clay series.

Mitchell has art in his family, coming from a mother who does ceramics and a father who is a wood worker. He graduated  from Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo. Receiving a BA of science in Commercial Art Gerdes spends his free time helping models develop their portfolios. He also currently a creative director designing T-shirts, websites, and ads in magazines.

His artwork was available for viewing this month in the art gallery.
