Light, Color, Composition Theresa Rankin Ranks the Elements, Prepares for Midwest Gathering of Artists “Abstract was all the rage when I was in college,” Rankin recalls. “The teacher said, ‘Most people don’t understand abstract art; they have to be taught.’ A little bell went off in my head and I thought, ‘If you don’t like or respond to art, what good it is?’” In this past half-decade, Rankin has garnered numerous awards and been invited to many juried art shows. A few of her honors include “Best Landscape” at the 2005 National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society; “High Seller” from 2005 to 2008 at the Richard Schmid Fine Art Auction (Schmid being one of her favorite painters); “Artists’ Choice” and “Best of Show” at the 2006 and 2007 Thomas Hart Benton Exhibition and Juried Competition; “Best in Oil” at the 2007 Artists of Northwest Arkansas Fall Regional Competition; and “Best of Show” at the 2008 Ozark Artists Alliance at John Brown University. In addition to membership and workshop affiliation with Spiva and artCentral, Rankin belongs to the Artists of Northwest Arkansas and Eureka Springs Artists Guild , the Bartlesville Oklahoma Art Association, NOAPS, Oil Painters of America, The Academic Artists Association (and Artists Who Teach), and Landscape Artists International. Rankin will be participating with 32 others painters, photographers, and sculptors at the 31st Annual Midwest Gathering of the Artists. The show itself is free to the public Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and 14, at Memorial Hall in Carthage. On Friday, Sept. 12, an art auction and awards program will be held to benefit the artists and the MGA; tickets and more information are available from Sandy Higgins, MGA director, at 358-7163, 358-4041, or 1artangel@suddenlink.net.
