Artist Statement:

My vision of Wonder Woman is as a warrior. She first appeared during World War II to inspire hope and fight evil for America. In my painting she is fearless with a sword and shield, and I combine her with the flag from Norman Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter to express her patriotism.

Artist Statement:

A vital part of Louisiana’s cultural heritage, Zydeco music was created in the southwest part of the state by combining French, African, and Caribbean rhythms into something as uniquely American as the blues. Its centerpiece is the accordion, playing a gumbo of sounds that make it impossible not to dance to.

I like serial imagery. U.S.A. is an image of my refrigerator in Hot Springs, picturing magnets from the many places I visited in the United States over the years. They remind me how lucky I am to have been to so many wonderful places. And together, they look really cool!

Artist Statement:

Liberty is a photograph of the front of a Mardi Gras float in the Krewe of Mid-City in 2024. The parade theme, Cheers to 90 Years, lent itself to this ode to America with the re-creation of several iconic images. By saturating the colors, the statue really pops out!

Bio:

Gary Simmons has been producing art since his youth and continues to do so in his Hot Springs studio. He works in a variety of media with a special interest in pen-and-ink drawing, but in later years has turned much of his interest to watercolor. He’s a member of the Midsouthern Water Colorists.

Artist Statement:

Hot Springs offers many visual gifts to our eyes, but perhaps the most eloquent statement made by our national park is the dramatic combination of an enchanting mist of steamy water falling through the trees and the rock in Arlington Park. It’s a magic of its own offering a sense of an older and wilder time.
