Two Painters and a Potter
Two painters and a potter present "Water and
Earth." Watercolor artists, Don Groff and
Janealla Smalley and Ceramic artist, Robert
Minto, are combining their work in a show that
opens at 6:00 Friday, September 11, at the
Findlay Art League gallery. The exhibit will
continue through September 27 from 11:00-2:00,
Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 6:00-8:30 on
Friday evenings. The show is free and open to
the public.
Born in Dayton, Don Groff started drawing before
he started school. He developed as an artist
throughout grade school, drawing cars and
cartoons. He was the class artist all four years
at Riverdale High School in Mt. Blanchard, Ohio,
where he designed the school logo before his
graduation in 1963. He worked as the assistant
to the battalion artist during his three years
in the U. S. Army. After his military stint, Don
worked for the Penn Central/Conrail Railroad for
seventeen years as a tower operator, It was
during this time he became interested in
watercolors. Don is a self-taught watercolor
artist, specializing in lighthouses, train
depots, and other old buildings situated under
luscious skies. His weathered wood textures
indicate mastery of the media. He has won
numerous awards for his paintings, which hang
across the United States, in Canada, Germany,
Japan, and Lebanon. He has been a member of the
Findlay Art League for over 30 years, serving on
the Board of Trustees and other committees. He
is currently a member of the Port Clinton Art
League and BRAG (Blanchard River Art Guild).
Retired from Conrail, Don resides in Findlay.
Janealla Smalley is the Art Teacher at the St.
Wendelin High School, Fostoria, OH, a position
she has held for 26 years. She has been awarded
the Golden Apple Award for excellence in
teaching. A resident of Findlay, OH, Ms. Smalley
maintains a studio in the downtown historic
Jones Building. There she draws and paints. She
particularly enjoys the challenge of transparent
watercolor, exploring landscape painting,
close-up nature subjects, and people, especially
children. Her palette is soft, creating works
that speak quietly, and draw the viewer gently
into the picture. She does commissioned work as
well as work for her own pleasure. She completed
a mural of the city of Venice on the wall of a
restaurant in Findlay, and is presently painting
murals on the walls of a local church. Her work
has been exhibited at several colleges and
galleries across Ohio. She has received numerous
awards for her work, including Most Creative Use
of Medium for an ink painting, and recently
First Place in the Findlay Art League May Show.
She is an active member of the Findlay Art
League.
Robert Minto was employed at Ada School for 32
years, teaching art from 1969 until 1995 and
serving as principal of the high school from
1995 until he retired in 2000. He has been an
adjunct faculty member at The University of
Findlay for several years, teaching art classes
and serving as a student teacher supervisor.
Robert produces pottery of all sizes and
descriptions in a pottery studio and gallery
called Fallen Willow Pottery, in rural Mount
Cory. The former tool shed was converted by
Robert, who also built a kiln there which is
more than seven feet high and five feet wide.
Sometimes practical, sometimes whimsical, each
piece of his pottery is individually designed
and formed, so each is a piece of art work.
Robert has shown his work in many galleries, and
has won numerous awards, including from the
Toledo Museum of Art, the Findlay Art League,
and Wassenberg Art Center.
The September meeting
of the Findlay Art League will be
Monday, September 14 at
7PM .
PROGRAM:
Janealla Smalley and Amanda
Kocsis
will present "Altered Books
Program"
Get ready to feel inspired and creative
with this month’s program on “Altered Books!” An
altered book is created from a published book that
is changed, altered, and transformed into a work of art;
this can also be a personal reflection piece or visual
journal. Janealla Smalley and Amanda Kocsis will be
presenting the program. There will be demonstrations on
how to start an altered book and how use decorating
techniques with various materials.
The purpose of this program is to have
several members participate in creating an altered book,
then share their books every month for other members to
alter even further. If there are enough participants,
these books could be on display in the gallery, possibly
part of the May Show or as a show by itself! Please
invite anyone who may be interested in participating in
this group project and be ready to be creative!
See you there...

grade. We also offer a Saturday workshop for the little
ones and their parents, called “Kinder Kids & Kin.”
This program meets the 3rd Saturday of every month and
is for children ages 4-6 and their parent(s)/guardian to
create together. And lastly, we offer a morning Home
School Program geared for home school children to meet
together and create art projects in the mornings. There
are two age groups that meet once a week; ages 5-9 and
ages 10-15. Please visit their website for class
