Abraham Mohler at Historic Shaw Art Fair 2011

If you are planning to attend the Historic Shaw Art Fair this weekend be sure to look for the work of sculptor Abraham Mohler. Abe's sculpture "Aria As David" is included in the current Hand Crafted exhibit at the St. Louis Artists' Guild. Other local artists too look for are FOM Kathy Gomric, Susan Rogers, Joyce Yarbrough, Shawn Cornell, SLAG friend Marilynne Bradley and new fave Mark Hurd.

iPad sketches

Artists at last night's Artisans' section meeting collaborated on finger painting/sketching on an iPad with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Everyone agreed that Abraham knocked one out the park with his shading technique. Check out his drawings here.

Abraham Mohler, sculptor, next Artisans' meeting

Abraham Mohler, stone sculptor, will discuss his work at the next Creative Artisans' meeting at the St. Louis Artists Guild on Thursday, May 13, at 7:00pm. Mohler creates works in marble. Many of his pieces have a classical look about them but he carves modern forms as well. He draws inspiration from the novel Moby Dick even sculpting the head of Herman Melville as the Prophet Elijah. Mohler studied in Scotland. He has completed commissions for the Missouri Botanical Garden and other private gardens which can be seen on his website. The sculptor can also be seen in a Youtube video of his 2007 show at The Shaw Gallery. Abraham Mohler's sculptures are currently being exhibited at the artist-friendly downtown Cafe Cioccolato, 816 Olive.

All members of the St. Louis Artists' Guild and their guests are invited to attend Abraham's presentation. There is no cost. The Artisans' section members will stay on to conduct their regular business meeting after Abraham's presentation.
