Wes watches and smiles as show patrons marvel at the detail in our miniature paintings.
- "Small Art with a Big Punch Walking around the Tidewater Gallery, one is struck by the size and scope of Wes and Rachelle Siegrist's work: it's tiny. The paintings can be as small as 1¼ inch in diameter. But what they lack in size is made up for in substance. The detail of a dog's solemn eyes, foliage on a fall tree, the color of a mountain scene is all there in all its glory. The Siegrists provide a magnifying glass just to prove it. One doesn't need a magnifying glass to appreciate the immense talent in Wes and Rachelle's paintings…"

- "Perhaps it is due to the spectacular nature of Woolaroc and our own collection of art and artifacts, but we probably do find ourselves a bit harder to impress because of our surroundings. For almost a year, we helped to plan The Gallery of Artists show that would debut here at Woolaroc and as I started to see and hear more about these great artists, my interest and excitement started to “ramp up” as I could tell we were getting ready to host something that was very special. Even with that, as I entered the gallery where the show was held, I was so impressed by the quality of the art, the various mediums, the overall “look” and feel of the show. As if that wasn’t enough, the opportunity to meet the artists was another great experience as you quickly found out that not only were these incredible talents, but they all have a great passion for what they do. Each of the artists were happy to explain their specific medium, engage with the public and help draw them into the show in a very comfortable and unique manner.
To say that we were pleased with The Gallery of Artists show is an understatement…..it was a magnificent show. My recommendation to anyone is if you have the opportunity to see their show, do it……you will not be disappointed!"

- "The Gallery of Artists event was a huge success and people are still abuzz with positive reviews and stories of their interactions with the artists. Friday night’s reception was a generous mix of arts enthusiasts, supporters of the Ward Museum and the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, and friends of the ten artists. The LaMay gallery bubbled over with excitement over the works presented. Several artworks found new homes in the midst of the festivities.
On Saturday and Sunday, our supporters were enthralled with the lectures and kept the artists on their toes with questions that revealed the essence of their work. I particularly enjoyed Don Rambadt’s welding demonstration on Sunday morning. A packed room through shielded eyes watched him create a lovely wren from bits of metal. Many attendees were hooked on the lecture series and spent almost all of the sunny weekend in our theater taking it all in.
The show was packed up as fast as it arrived, with the artists leaving plenty of good will behind for future collaborations with the Ward Museum. Thank you to the Gallery of Artists for bringing such a quality program to the Ward Museum and our community."
"On behalf of The Ward Foundation, thank you for your donation of professional educational services at the Gallery of Artists event July 8-10. Your lecture, The History of Miniature Art was a valuable addition to the event and enjoyed by all who attended."

- Tiny Artwork Must Be Seen To Be Believed "Amazement, surprise and the question, "How?" went through my mind somewhat simultaneously as I looked through a magnifying glass at the paintings of Wes and Rachelle Siegrist, now on view at the Museum of the Southwest.
I suspect I'm not alone.
The exhibition includes portraits, landscapes, wildlife and still lifes. The paintings are not small. Small is too big. They are tiny. Pick up a ruler and see what 3.5x3.5 looks like in size. Then imagine there is a detailed painting within its borders.
Tiny. The paintings typically measure less than nine square inches and appear even more detailed when viewed under magnification.
The miniature paintings are by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist. …"

- " Dear Rachelle, Thank you for participating in the National Museum of Wildlife Art fundraiser, Out of the Box. Your box, picturing a coyote and paw prints, was a terrific entry. It traveled to Santa Fe in May, to be viewed at a trustee meeting, and was very well-received. The [Out of the Box] audience also enjoyed it. …"
