His digital photographs of landscapes, landscape details, and rural architecture form the basis, or matrix, upon which I draw, write, and build collages. We site our work in the ridge and valley "province" of Virginia and in rural areas of Ohio--areas we have hiked into and explored--in order to tap into their inherent and latent meditative qualities. Please navigate to the "Gallery" page of this site to view a comprehensive selection of recent work. Note that all images are copyright Geraldine W. Kiefer. All rights reserved ![]() Smith Family Meditations Series, 2006, mixed media My drawings, collages, and assemblages are created on a variety of textured and tinted surfaces and in numbered or named series. The series structure, initiated in 1999, gives a sense of order and closure to work that, in effect, is really all about chaos and openness. Based on nature and my ongoing response to it as a vessel of power, intensity and release, the works are exhibited as nature installations, or more accurately, nature shrines. Entitled "altars," "shrines," "sanctuaries," "precincts," "caves," and most recently, "pastoral landscapes," these installations honor the presence and power of nature by posing and composing places of retreat and meditation, wherein the visitor may record emotions, memories, sensations and observations. ![]() Bruce Kiefer, Gerry at Nimrod, Bath County, Virginia, 2005 Bruce Kiefer, "Study" for a Drawing, Blandy Experimental Farm, Clarke County, Virginia, 2005 Abbreviated Curriculum vita Artist's Statement and Recent Exhibitions Artist's Biography Listing of Artwork, 2004 to present Listing of Artwork, through 2002 "Between Wilderness and Pastoral," Artist's statement ![]() Rocks, Branches, Falls I, 2004, mixed media, awarded First Place, Blue Ridge Arts Council Member Exhibition, Summer 2006 Corroding Constellated Tool, 2005, mixed media, Nelson Fine Arts Gallery 7th Annual Juried Exhibition: Interior Spaces, August 2006, Norwood Properties, LLC Purchase Award Soaring Setback Siding, 2005, mixed media, Nelson Fine Arts Gallery 7th Annual Juried Exhibition: Interior Spaces, August 2006, Norwood Properties, LLC Purchase Award Nelson Fine Arts Gallery website From Banks's Fort, A Wreath on the Path, 2004, mixed media, Peninsula Fine Arts Center Biennial 2006 Peninsula Fine Arts Center websiteLocal article Twixt Two: Landscapes by Bruce and Geraldine Kiefer, November-December 2005, December 2005-January 2006 SAC Press release - Announcement - Local article 1 - Local article 2 - Lord Fairfax Community College Press release - Local article 3 Nimrod Hall Reveries: Drawing and Mixed Media Works from the "Pastoral Landscapes" Series, Dancing Fire Gallery, Winchester, VA, Nov. 4 - 30, 2005 Announcement Interlacings 1, 2005, colored pencil over altered digital photograph, handmade paper mount Interlacings 2, 2005, colored pencil over altered digital photograph, handmade paper mount Slideshows will require Quicktime 6 browser plugin.
