Hello! My name is LuAnn Pepperwood and I am an ATC artist. This is my website.

ATCs in Topeka?

Currently, there are two different places where you can make ... and trade ... ATCs... in Topeka. 

• The Mulvane Art Lab (basement of the Mulvane Art Museum, on the Washburn University campus) is open from 12:00 to 4:00 on Saturdays and 4:00 to 7:00 on Tuesdays.

• The Topeka Art Guild (in Fairlawn Plaza) has an open studio from 1:00 to 4:00 on Thursdays. 

How do I get Started?

How do I deal with Rejection?

A Little Letter to my ATC Friends

I discovered Google Sites during the summer of 2024 and decided to make a website that celebrates the joys of an ATC Artist.

It was SO much  fun to go  back through all my records and insert images of old ATCs to form an online gallery. 

For a short time, I played with AI-generated art.

It is controversial.

I did not know about the controversy at first. I have since learned a lot about AI-generated art, and I do not currently use AI.

But I see no reason to throw away the images that I generated during my months of exploration.  If you are interested in my experiences, read my articles. If you are interested in attacking me, criticizing my use of AI, or otherwise expressing your opinion of AI, please go elsewhere. Been there. Done that.

I originally  planned to write an article each week. Is anyone really interested? Probably not. But I love to write and I love to make art and I love to work on web pages.

So this makes me happy.
