Klung wasn't tempted to take an art class. "I like experimenting. I'm the type that if I took a class I probably wouldn't pay any attention. I want to do things my way. Maybe it's the artist in me. It was trial and error. I didn't really know what I was doing. I liked color and I'd always liked trees. I grew up playing in the woods all the time when I was a kid. So I put those two together."
Klung's trademark trees are described as "mixed media," and really are. He paints in acrylic on canvas, with an underground of gesso containing a startling range of textures. Embedded in the gesso are a wide variety of objects, from screens to leaves and pieces of wood. "I just find stuff around the house and throw it in there," says Klung. "The most unusual thing was probably when I was ripping carpet out of my son's room. I used the padding in a painting. It gave it a nice deep texture."
A newcomer to painting, Mike Klung has worked for fourteen years as a framer and mat designer. "I like to try new things," he says. "I'm always thinking, 'What's next?'" "So, in 2000, I thought I'd try some painting.

Yvette Loveless showing off her nails.
Yvette Loveless started her artistic career in 1997, when she purchased a 48" color television and realized after a year, that she had spent more time watching Oprah Winfrey get richer than she was at using her creative skills. At that point, she turned the TV off and began painting and drawing. And, as they say, the rest is history.
Yvette Loveless creates original collages and does custom framing for Loveless Galleries. She also serves as president of marketing and assists James in designing this website. Yvette sings contralto on her church praise team and sings in over seventy nursing homes with James Loveless. Yvette enjoys cooking, interior decorating and is proud that she has mastered doing acrylic nails for herself after paying hundreds of dollars for someone else to do them!
