Teipel exhibit opens
at Blue Moon in resort
Sun Queen Productions has
risen like a bright ray at the Blue
Moon Restaurant on Baltimore
Avenue in Rehoboth Beach.
These rays are the work of
Dorothea "Dory" Potter Teipel of
Washington, D.C., who opened
her one-woman exhibit of pastels
and oils, 'l'he Night Club Peo-
ple," there Sunday, where it will
remain through the month of June.
For Teipel, it's like coming
home, as she has spent much time
in the Rehoboth Beach environs
over the past 20 years, having had
eight shows at the Blue Moon in
the past four years. She has also
been very appreciative of the sup-
port she has received locally as a
self-taught artist. "Betty and
Charles Palmer at Rehoboth Art
League have been wonderful.
When you encourage painters,
they never forget it," she said,
adding that she will he displaying
her work at the RAL Outdoor Art
Show again this summer and is
currently creating a mural for the
Summer House Restaurant and
Saloon in Rehoboth.
This collage, Teipel said, will
be a seven-foot long by two-foot
high piece of happy summer
themes. Of her Blue Moon exhib-
it, she explains that the anony-
mous, featureless figures in these
paintings "express attitudes and
are symbolic of the people around
us," as each individual reads their
own expression onto the canvass.
Teipel is inspired, she notes,
"by politics and sunsets," painting
tropical settings against ancient
columns and colorful exotic
women wearing hats at cocktail
hour, as well as other images.
Over the past 20 years, her work
has grown to include watercolors,
pen and ink, oil crayon, acrylic
paintings and drawings in many
sizes and styles. She also special-
izes in watercolor animal charac-
ters for children, children's books,
all-age gift cards, posters and cus-
tom projects and commissions.
filer nine year old son Mack is an
inspiration, she notes.)
Following gallery and restau-
rant shows in Rehohoth and Le-
land, Mi., she was selected as a se-
nil-finalist in a $1,000,000 nation-
al contest sponsored by the Mayor
of Honolulu for art and murals to
be placed in new public buildings.
Teipel is currently working on
'Whe Fitzgerald Series", a variety
of paintings abut night clubs,
moonlight and black tie. A sec-
ond series, "Torch Songs", is an-
derway, featuring a dozen large
watercolors, interpreting familiar
lyrics about love lost and love
gained from songs such as "Star-
dust" and 'Whe Long and Winding
Road". Over the past 22 years,
Teipel has become the owner of
two successful small businesses -
Potter Teipel Associates and Party
Polities, and also represents
prominent media and business
personalities in a speakers bureau,
Women at the Top.
She and her brother Joe Teipel,
a sports celebrity and business-
man in Hawaii, have now joined
forces in business and art opportu-
nities between Washington, D.C.
and Honolulu, Hawaii. They will
design and promote Pacific Rim
and East Coast artists' shows in
restaurants, office buildings and
private collections through her
new art marketing enterprise, Sun
Queen Productions, with formal
work and show space located only
eight miles from the White House.
