October - December Featured Artist

Paul Jorgensen

Prague Church

Paul Jorgensen has drawn since he was child. Trained as an architect, he has used drawing as a way of observing and connecting with places. He is interested in buildings as symbols and cultural icons. Wineries often use their buildings as a trademark on labels, reminding us that the wine cannot be separated from the place. When you taste the wine, you experience the place - its climate, physical environment, and history.

He feels that in today's era of globalization, streaming media, suburban sprawl and themed architecture, images of unique places have relevance to daily life. After spending years traveling to more than thirty countries for business and pleasure, he enjoys wine, slow food, and a quiet life with his wife in old Leawood.

"We remember our experiences in relationship to the places where they occurred. Images of those places remind us of our experiences. Drawings are suggestive, allowing the viewer to supply the memory or meaning. A drawing starts a process which the viewer finishes."

Below are samples of Paul's work that will be displayed in the Art Gallery at Wines by Jennifer October - December of 2003:
