Virginia Maynard

Virginia Maynard was born and raised in Louisville, and always had animals in her life.  Her first camera
was a gift when she was 10, from her paternal grandparents.  Ever since, nature and landscapes have
drawn the camera lens for her.  Moving to Anderson County with her husband, and their first cat, Hobbes,
opened new venues for photos, and more cats.  Working with the Anderson Humane Society as a
volunteer, Virginia and her husband have fostered and adopted several cats, and their household is now
up to 7 felines, all but one of which is from our shelter.

Brenda Gardner

Brenda was born in Frankfort and started her first business in Anderson County 31 years ago. She has
been a supporter of the Anderson Humane Society  for many years. She graduated from the American
Academy of Picture Framing in Hartford, CT and has not only donated a photograph of hers for our Silent
Auction... but she has also donated some of the framing for the other artists. At her home in Anderson
County, Brenda  has frequent visits from her twin grandchildren, and she has adopted three dogs from our
shelter, and a one eyed cat which she claims, "rules the estate".


Paul Hatton

Mr. Paul Hatton and his wife (Carolyn Hatton) became interested in photography before retiring from
Lexmark, and they were able to invest in quality photography equipment. A co-worker asked them to
photograph her wedding, and their business grew from there. They have now been in the photography
business for twelve years, converting their garage into a studio. Most of their business comes from
clients who see Paul's work or by word of mouth. Their clients consist primarily of high school seniors,
families and photographing weddings. Mr. Patton has also done some commercial work, and enjoys all
types of photography. Most of all, Paul claims to enjoy getting up early in the morning and driving through
the country and taking photographs of the beautiful farms and horses.. and when Keeneland is open,
taking pictures of the horse races. Paul always has his camera with him!   

Sandy Kiser

Sandy Kiser was born in Harrodsburg, but moved to Lawrenceburg not long after and has lived most of
her life here. She serves on the board of directors for the Humane Society and started her volunteer work
there after finding an abandoned kitten that she took to the shelter. She has been volunteering for about
four years now, heading up the spay/neuter assistance program, updating the Petfinder listings and doing
web design for the Humane Society's website, www.andersonhumane.org. Sandy has one dog, Molly, who
she rescued when she was abandoned in a local restaurant parking lot as a small puppy. She works full-
time at a local accounting firm and enjoys spending time with her husband, Teddy, and practicing her new
favorite hobby of photography.


Dr. D.F. Dahlen. D.M.D.

After using rotary instruments in my profession for over 30 years, taking up the wood lathe was a likely
transition for a hobby. The fact that there are a wide variety of natural woods in the Central Kentucky area
has given me an easy access to local materials. Small additions such as stone inlaying adds to the
beauty of a naturally turned bowl. This bowl comes from a piece of Birdseye Maple. Cherry, Walnut Oak,
Maple and Cedar provide great woods for turning. Use your imagination and enjoy the art of wood turning!



Eileen Peterson

Eileen is one of the many artists represented at Glassworks of Louisville.  Her stained glass circle and
lawn ornament was donated by Glassworks.




Carol Bowles

People ask me often where I get my ideas.  Some have been growing for 30 years.  Others have come
from my traveling and reading experiences.  I try to combine these elements into a multi-cultural
expression that is my own. It has become natural to pursue my interest in stories by producing narrative
paintings that convey meaning. My professional training began at Penn State University. I furthered my art
studies at the Art Institute of Chicago.  After teaching at a community college for a number of years, I spent
some time as a graphic designer which led to the publication of two books – The Two-Legged Creature,
published by Northland Books in Flagstaff, AZ, and Saving the Rainforest, published by Trickle Creek
Books in Harrisburg, PA.  Now I find my greatest satisfaction is producing work from ideas that I have
stored up my whole life. Donated by Damselfly Studio and Gallery in Midtown.





Wendy Gould

Wendy is from Shelbyville, Kentucky. Her calligraphy and drawing has also recently been at Francisco’s
Farm at Midway College and can be found at Damselfly Studio and Gallery in Midway. Donated by
Damselfly Studio and Gallery in Midtown.





Gretchen Andres

Gretchen created this small work in oil, for our Humane Society and Silent Auction. While visiting
Lawrenceburg last spring, Gretchen found a small black and white cat and she and a friend brought it Sue
Ann Ford, one of the Board of Directors of the Humane Society. Gretchen had already named him, “Isaac”
(she thought he was dressed similar to Isaac, the character on popular TV show The Love Boat). Sue Ann
has been fostering Isaac since, and Gretchen wanted to say thank you to the Anderson Humane Society
for all of the work they do.


Cindy Wolf

Born in San Francisco in 1946, Cindy Wolf began her riding career at the age of 3½. Wolf's interest in
sculpture through the medium in clay modeling was apparently perfectly natural to her, but her career as
an artist was delayed because her success in the show arena had reached international standards.
Having achieved the highest accolades in the show ring, Wolf turned her attention to her sculpture. This
work is made from a mold Cindy Carved. She is especially known for her bronze works and her original
patinas. Donated by Damselfly Studio and Gallery in Midtown.



Eric Thoreson

Eric and his wife Mary Thoreson own and operate the Damselfly Studio and Gallery in Midtown, Kentucky.
Eager to help with our Silent Auction, Mary chose this bead and wrapped it in a gold bag. The Damselfly
Gallery represents nearly 120 current artists from Kentucky and the southeast. They take great pride and
care in selecting some of the most unique art and jewelry being created today.
2008 Anderson Humane Society Garden Party
wishes to thank the following Artists for their generous donations.
Proceeds from our Silent Auction help Spay, Neuter & Adoption in Anderson County.
