4Letter From WRAA President...
President’s Letter
by Mary Ann Inman
What’s new and futuristic?
WRAA has restructured. We have established three permanent committees:
1. Executive Committee: President Mary Ann Inman, Vice President Sally
Probasco, Treasurer Bev Larson, and Secretary Jan Feyzi vested with over-
seeing operations.
2. Youth Programs: Coordinated by Jeanne Ferriera including Bobby Walker
and Nancy McKinnon.
3. State Conference: Rita Carpenter and Anne Irish.
On the Road by Teresa Vicars. Expect quarterly Contour Notes feature articles written by Publicity
guru Teresa Vicars. This time the Spotlight is on accomplished WRAA artist Jimmy Yanny on page 13.
Award collections, tracking, and conference emcee duties by Marinela Manastirli. Sally Probasco
has moved on to become Vice President.
Conference Registration duties by Rita Carpenter. WRAA is exploring software to allow participants
to register and pay online. An ad hoc committee is reviewing if it is feasible and affordable. Areas that
require the tracking and handling of larger sums of money include registration, awards, membership,
Tiny Treasures, and donations.
Grant writer Mike McKinnon has accepted the task of working with WRAP Director Angela Johnson
and the Pyle Center to try to obtain funding to improve lighting to enhance art exhibits at UW’s Pyle
Center. We realize this may not come full circle because when the facility was planned the architect
may not have anticipated its use as an art gallery. In addition, we have discovered that there are very
few venues set up to display up to one hundred and seventy-five artworks and hundreds of Tiny Trea-
sures.
Membership renewals are down significantly. There was an administrative glitch. WRAA failed to
notify loyal members to renew. Some of you may have received phone calls or emails asking you to
consider renewal. As a reminder our membership year runs from October 1 to September 31 to coincide
with the Annual WRAA/WRAP State Conference. For membership assistance, contact Karen Cahill
cahillk44@yahoo.com.
Proudly serving as WRAA Board President,
Mary Ann Inman
Supporters of WRAA:
Incredibly, this year's State Day is fast approaching and with it our acknowledgement of this year's most
outstanding art works:
State Awards. We would love to increase our recognition of talented artists and to do that we welcome the
addition of new awards. Your establishment of a new award can be just the boost an artist needs to keep creating
and growing artistically. Awards can be a one-year commitment, ongoing for several years or in perpetuity. We're
flexible.
If you, a family group, an art club or organization think the time is right, please contact:
Marinela Manastirli, marinelamnj@gmail.com; or Sally Probasco, sallyprobasco@gmail.com

72019 Madison WRAP By Jean Lang, Coordinator. Photo by Angela Johnson and Kailee Kujawski
“This year’s Madison WRAP featured 81 artists, 60 of whom at-
tended workshop day. The guest speaker and judge was Bobbette
Rose, an accomplished Madison print and website designer who
also produces beautiful fine arts works.
Originally Rose was a print maker, but when exposure to toxic
solvents became a problem, she switched to tempura paints. In
tempura, ground mineral pigments are mixed with diluted egg
yolk, a medium that allows more light to reach and reflect off the
pigments, producing stronger colors than oils or acrylics. Attracted
to the detail of rough structures--broken sidewalks and cracked
stone walls--Rose began creating related images by applying rich
tempura colors to “tiles” with a textured surface which she made
by coating a wood-framed board with cellu-clay. Judge/speaker Bobbette Rose (left) critiques a watercolor by Becky
Herb. (Photo by Angela Johnson)
Rose’s growing fascination with light and color was reinforced
when she saw J.M.W Turner’s luminous 19th century paintings in London. “They glowed,” she said, “and were an inspira-
tion.” Rose was also influenced by Makoto Fujimura who uses a Japanese technique called Nihonga in which mineral pigments
ground to various precise grain sizes are applied with very small amounts of animal hide glue and reflect color strongly.
“Here we buy jars of mineral pigments, all ground to a single, standard
fine powder. But in Japan, pigments are ground in 17 different grada-
tions, from powder to fine sand,” said Rose. In Nihonga, which is a
general term for classic Japanese painting, one may layers paint of dif-
ferent grain sizes. Each gradation reflects and transmits light in its own
way: the finer the grain, the lighter and more translucent the color.
Rose noted that when first approaching a new art technique like this,
artists should make their work much tighter and more realistic than
they usually do. “That forces you to learn how to control the technique
and get the effect you want.”
Guest speaker Bobbette Rose describes her work in
encaustic,tempura and Japanese nohinga to Madison While studying Nihonga, Rose was also exposed to encaustic artworks
WRAP artists. (Photo by Kailee Kujawski) in which mineral pigment is selectively applied to warm bees wax.
“With encaus-
tic,” says Rose,
“you can build up multiple layers creating a totally different kind of light
effect.” Sometimes she combines Nihonga with encaustic. She has also
used encaustic methods to create prints, her first love. “They’re mono-
type encaustics. You melt wax on a warm plate, form your design with
the pigments, and then press the paper onto it.”
Rose says some people consider her works abstracts. “I don’t,” she says.
“I think of them more as reflections of my internal landscape.”
Bobbette Rose finished the day with detailed critiques of the artworks.
The workshop also included a lunchtime session just for the photogra-
phers, led by WRAP director Angela Johnson, who teaches photography
at UW.

"I think it's wonderful to have the WRAP show because it gives everyone an introduction into the Madison art community. It gives
you a chance to see who else is producing art. You're able to meet them and get exposed to a broader range of what is happening at
the individual level within the community."
-Nan Zimdars
"I am a lifelong artist and was a child prodigy. I did a lot of artwork when I was young and was successful with that, but then kind
of just lost it. I'm seventy now and getting back into it. WRAP is giving me an avenue to get my work out there so that I can have
goals."
-Anonymous
"I like being in shows and coming to them. I have gotten to know a lot go people in WRAP. It's a really nice community.

102019 Prairie du Sac WRAP By Terrence Doeler. Photos by Terrence Doeler and Angela Johnson
The Prairie du Sac WRAP workshop was held on
March 23rd in the River Arts Center. Eighteen artists
entered 36 pieces. The judge/presenter was Kathy
Sherwood, who is a pastelist. She brought several of her
pieces in various stages of completion and used them
to demonstrate the various types of pastels available
and some techniques of using them to create different
effects.
After the lunch break, she did a detailed demonstration
using a portraiture of her daughter as the subject.
Following that, she critiqued the award winners,
pointing out features she liked that distinguished them
from the others, and also an occasional pointer on how
they could be improved. The attendees enjoyed her
friendly, outgoing manner and willingness to answer any questions about herself or pastels.

12On the Road…Spotlight on Jimmy Yanny
by Teresa Vicars
In March, I met with Jimmy Yanny and his brother Mark at The
Coffee House at Chestnut & Pine in Burlington where you can
buy Jimmy’s prints. Jimmy came prepared with stacks of vibrant
watercolors and acrylics. He has become a hometown celebrity
and you can find his artwork displayed at numerous local venues.
In addition to his own award-winning photography, brother Mark
has photographed and cataloged over 300 artworks created by
Jimmy and his sister Therese. Mark smiled and said, “The family is
filled with artists due to our Dutch ancestry.”
Early background: Jimmy’s art adventure started when he won
an award in 6th grade with his charcoal drawing of a metal bridge.
The next year, he earned awards for an ink drawing and a pastel
painting of an angel. The pastel won best of show in Burlington and
again at the Racine County Exhibit.
In high school he enjoyed doing pottery, plaster reliefs, and painting abstractly. Jimmy went on to study art at
UW Parkside in Racine and earned his BFA (1984).
After graduation, Jimmy lived at home with his parents and helped take care of them as they aged. When his
mother had to go into a nursing home, it was very difficult for Jimmy. So, for therapy he started painting “fast
and furious” in 2013.
Rediscovering Art/Community: Acrylic and watercolor are his favorite media. His favorite artists include Van
Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Monet, and Gauguin and their influence can be seen throughout his brightly colored
paintings.
Today, Jimmy paints up to 6 paintings a day and inspires others. The Gathering, a group that he started, meets to
create and share. He does art workshops at the Burlington Senior Center, too. He volunteers at Love Incorporated,
a resale shop and food pantry where he cooks lunch there every Thursday and Friday.
Jimmy has plans to do a painting demo for the Waterford Garden Club in July and will lead a workshop for
Mental Health Week in October.
Recognition:
He has won several WRAP State Awards and the Helen Mears Award. National Alliance on Mental Illness
Wisconsin State Show selected him as the featured artist for 2016 and 2018. Jimmy’s paintings have been accepted
into the juried Watercolor Wisconsin Exhibit at the Racine Art Museum twice.
Summary:
I will leave you with a few quotes from Jimmy in hopes you too will be inspired:
· “Painting and doing art are healing and it gives you substance and purpose.”
· “Art gives you a new way of looking at things.”
· “I’m always thinking about art. I see art in everything.”
· “It’s spiritual. It’s like God is working through you.”
