Crab for a Cause

Eric Von Seibert has donated this blue crab art to raise money for Keep Aransas County’s efforts to remake the iconic blue crab sculpture that was destroyed in 2017 by Hurricane Harvey. For more information on the iconic Rockport Blue Crab's history: https://kacbtx.org/blue-crab

To make his unique art pieces, Von Seibert painstakingly grinds raw aluminum to shape and direct the reflective effects of ambient lighting to complement the subjects and forms of his paintings. In doing so, he achieves captivating illusions of foreground-background separation juxtaposed with ecstatic coloration.  The spontaneous and vibrant colors of his medium result in works that are rich in energy, celebrate the sensory integration of sight and mental perception, and imbued with a feeling of transcendent awe.

About Juleanna

Born in the Midwest, my family transitioned to the Texas Gulf Coast in 2009, and I have grown to appreciate this unique community with access to a variety of experiences. I attended college at Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi with a diverse student body and supportive faculty. After some undergraduate study, I made my way to my passion under the instruction of teachers and mentors across many art mediums including ceramics, painting, drawing, and sculpture with a focus in foundry work. In the last year or so, however, I found myself craving comfort and the familiar in my work. I’m sure it has to do, in part, with the current times in which we are living. So much of the dependable and predictable is out of reach, and I find myself returning to my roots in quilting applying life experience and four years of coursework in the arts. I’ve chosen a nontraditional method of presentation and will introduce my body of work on November 20th at the Rockport Center for the Arts. 

My involvement with the arts has moved beyond the university and I am honored to have built connections with other artists in the community here in Rockport. Through mutual friends, I was introduced to the talented Silversmith Diane Johnson, and we have been collaborating creatively for about a year and a half. Through Diane, I met the wonderful staff at RCA and am now excited to join the staff. I look forward to contributing to the creative heart and passion of the Rockport art community and appreciate even more the opportunity to learn and grow under such established artistry.
