Fine art from local artistS
Waterfield Plaza is proud to present Joel's groundbreaking work in fabric collage.
As Joel explored the fine arts, particularly painting, he eventually created his own technique of “fabric collage.” This tactile artwork is an intricate blend of fabric and leather to create collages that are then further enhanced with painted details. The result is remarkably detailed images that startle the eye and intrigue the mind. The main body of Joel's work includes landscapes, still lifes, architecture, and figures

Our collection of McCullough’s paintings spans from his early studies to the golden era of the Fort Wayne Art School and beyond.
After receiving his BFA and MFA degrees from Iowa State University, McCullough was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study art at the Academia Belle Arti in Florence and the Academie de la Grande Caumiere in Paris.
During his Fort Wayne career, McCullough was an artist, art teacher for the Fort Wayne Art Institute, and Associate Professor of Art at IPFW. George passed away at 82 on October 15, 2005.
Originally from Fort Wayne, Jeffrey moved to the Indiana Dunes in 2017 after spending over thirty years in Chicago as a professional actor, director, and educator. An accomplished oil painter, Jeffrey founded JB Artworks in 2005. He now travels extensively in a cargo van studio appropriately dubbed “The VanGo!” and paints primarily en plein air (directly from nature).
He finds most of his inspiration looking for dramatic moments in time and nature.. A look through his work shows the intense way he perceives his surroundings, finding beauty in the areas we often overlook.

As a self-taught painter, Roger W. Hultquist embraced his passion for art by creating stunning landscapes that studied the relationship between human interaction and the natural world. While working full-time as an attorney, he traveled extensively and painted beautiful scenery from all over America, Canada, and the UK.
Inspired by natural forms, Roger gravitated towards rolling fields and forests. Eventually, he began to find beauty in the dilapidated man-made objects among the foliage, such as barns and fences. This resulted in a mixture of hidden paradises and lovingly lived-in scenes. The calming nature of his work creates a sense of comfort that invites the viewer to step in.
Roger’s art holds many local awards and was used as the main promotion for Grand Detour’s Art Festival. Due to the many people who knew and loved Roger, you can find several of his works in Fort Wayne businesses including doctor offices, law offices, and banks.
