    About the Book

    Edit

    This beautifully illustrated biography is an in-depth study of John Killmaster’s life and work as an artist and educator, written by author and art critic Christopher R. Schnoor. Killmaster is known worldwide as an innovator in enamel art, primarily creating large scale porcelain enamels, kiln-fired on steel panels in wall reliefs and freestanding sculpture, and contributing to the development of new enamel-based mediums. His mission has been to liberate enameling from being perceived as a minor craft, elevating it to its acceptance as fine art. Additionally, the book’s wealth of images underscores his independent nature and sensibility in a range of mediums including gouache, acrylic and oil painting, work that has found itself in both museum and private collections. His unique aesthetic continues to inform his ongoing output.

    About the Creator
    AlisaLooney
    Alisa Looney, Metal Sculptor & Enamelist

    Best known for her award winning outdoor sculptures, Alisa Looney has exhibited in the U.S. and Canada. Her work is in a multitude of private and public collections, including Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, WA, and several U.S. cities in the Northwestern states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. She expresses her ideas through sculpture, dance, painting and enameling in her Portland, OR, Studio. At the age of four, Alisa began drawing and building with clay and sand on the banks of the Spokane River, in Northern Idaho. The movement of the river is still present in her work today. She fell in love with metal arts as a silver smith in her early years, received her BFA in Design from Boise State University in 1983 and began welding in 1998. Alisa returned to Idaho in 2010 to study with enamellist and BSU Professor Emeritus, John Killmaster, which has allowed her to merge sculpture design and narrative enamels into what she considers her most precious work to date.
