Wichita Artists in their Studios
By Sondra Langel Photography by Larry Schwarm
This book displays photographs of 50 artists at work in their Wichita studios. Many of them are Shockers, either alumni or faculty — or both: Ted Adler, Jennie Becker ’90, Marc Bosworth ’92, Chris Brunner ’79, Robert Bubp, Jana Durfee ’04, Marc Durfee ’03, Connie Ernatt ’95, John Ernatt ’90, Dan Gegen ’89/91, James Gross ’74, Wade Hampton fs ’91, Brian Hinkle ’92, Rollin Karg ’63, Kevin Kelly ’01, Brenda Lichman, Todd Matson ’82, Tina Murano ’91, Steve Murillo ’70, James Ackerley Porter, Jennifer Ray, Humberto Saenz, Bob Schwan fs ’97, Larry Schwarm, Tim Stone ’12, Levente Sulyok, Janice Burdine Thacker ’69, Bruce Van Osdel ’89, Trish Van Osdel ’91 and Ernest Vincent Wood III ’06.
In addition, the book’s foreword was penned by another Shocker, James W. Johnson ’75, independent curator and art historian. His foreword carries much history about artistic endeavors in Wichita, of course, but also about those at Wichita State, going all the way back to its days as Fairmount College.
