DoN talked with Erica Amick, artist Ted Amick‘s daughter about her Dad’s memorial art show in the Downstairs Gallery of the Plastic Club.  “The memorial show for my dad, Ted Amick, is full of his life’s work.  He was always creative.  He was always happy.  He always had a good story to tell you and loved to be around people.  And loved a good time.  So, he would enjoy the show in the gallery, filled with people drinking and laughing and talking.”  So, what’s your favorite piece?  “I don’t have a favorite, it’s all different parts of his life and you can see the progression of his scientific alien stage to a more impressionist stage to just happy picture stage.  He did a portrait of me and my sister and I think that’s one of our favorites.”

DoN mentioned Ted in a blog he wrote back in 2009, the Red, White and Green show and Ted instantly became a buddy with lots of compliments and questions about photography at every Plastic Club reception.  At the awards ceremony February 5th for the current exhibition, Urban Observations, past president Mike Guinn said it best, “He was my brother.”
