THE BACKSTORY

​
________________________________________
​
​
Since our courting days David and I have shared the inclination to “ooh and ah” at sights that catch our eyes and tweak our fancies. Even following the same paths again and again we always find wonders to delight us—a quartet of Scottish highlander, hearty hairy coos
keeping company with a donkey named Charlie; a gaggle of wild turkeys strolling about in a farmer’s front yard;
sunbeams gleefully summer dancing in an urban brook; lapis lazuli shadows stretching lean over a river’s snow-covered, tree-lined banks;
story-telling clouds bouncing or floating or rushing or resting still and serene over us
in a plethora of shapes and sizes; a vine-covered fence post that began life as a cedar tree.

Those times we make mini-detours over and over we are pleased to have our senses entertained
by the newness of the unexpected—an enormous black and white swine with blunted nose
peering through swaying emerald-tinted grass behind a hog wire fence; spring and summer wildflowers
showing off their beauty; naked winter old growth standing staunchly sensuous and unapologetic in bareness;
a nursery of young black vultures lined up on a white fence railing with a raucous murder of ebony crows circling overhead;
a solo longhorn posing roadside and offering a repertoire of amusing expressions as though for a photo-op;
a pasture of horses dressed in masks and spats looking ready for a neighbor’s costume party.

​With our comings and goings we are frequently entertained by the directional signs we encounter placed on poles
to help and guide us in our travels. The very noire arrow, pointed up with a wiggly tail flowing down over a reflective yellow backdrop,
was the first road sign I decided to paint and call “Wiggle Bottom”,
a reminder of the squirming Aussie riding in my lap as we made our way up a curving, twisting tarmac trail.

 
All these signs and wonders seem to be love notes left by a grand heart filled with benevolence—reassuring us
we live in a world of beauty and goodness, telling us to pause and slow down. We do.
We slow down. We stop. As David gathers an appealing stick or stone or rusted scrap of bric-a-brac for his sculpture,
I start snapping my camera’s shutter—collecting images, capturing moments,
making sweet memories to put into my painted photo tableau.​
​
We have loved collecting and making our SIGNS & WONDERS.
​We hope they bring you joy and give you much to love, too!

DAVID GREENWOOD-MATHÉ
​

Upon leaving his native Joplin, Missouri, David enrolled in the “Foreign Study League”. He earned art history credits in Rome, Florence and Paris: these were transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1973.
​He returned to Joplin and Missouri Southern State College for a Bachelor of Science in Education.
David is a combat naval veteran, having served in the Middle East as well as the Mediterranean, Western Pacific and Arctic Ocean. While always pursuing artistic endeavors, he has been a semi-professional musician and singer-songwriter performing primarily on guitar or mandolin as well as a few other more exotic instruments. David has appeared in music videos and three major independent films.
While continuing his own freelance art career, for fifteen years David owned and operated the Upstart Crow Gallery in the Crossroads District of Kansas City, Missouri.
Upon marrying Alice Lynn Greenwood and moving to Carthage, Missouri, David became a participating artist and the Gallery Prepitor (Art Handler) for artCentral.

ALICE LYNN GREENWOOD-MATHÉ
​

Since early childhood, when she first began to write and illustrate stories and to construct houses of sticks and stones, art making has been the passion of Alice Lynn’s life.
With a BA, Cum Laude, in studio art from Hendrix College, while raising her two children she worked as a freelance graphic artist in Dallas and Little Rock, Arkansas.
Moving her young family to NYC, Alice Lynn attended the Art Students League and General Theological Seminary. For a small Manhattan fashion house she dressed Greenwich Village boutique windows and designed one-of-a-kind originals.
After her nest emptied, Alice Lynn took to the wilderness of the Ozark Highlands. Four years of solitude beside the Little Buffalo River were spent rambling, photographing, gardening and deep diving into the world of spirit. She painted what she found as though writing her journal with a brush.
Back in community, Alice Lynn exhibited and marketed her work full time until assuming the role of Executive Director-Curator at artCentral in Carthage, Missouri, where she still pours her passion into her own art making as she writes her weekly Art Notes and nurtures a creative space where other artists can flourish.
