"Artist captures Aboriginal Elders in pencil"
"Gerry Kuehl is a Winnipeg artist whose consuming passion is recreating the faces of Aboriginal elders with pencil. Because of his eye for detail his pictures have an amazing life-like quality . . . . often being mistaken for photographs.

"Kuehl exhibit showcases elders"
Steve Ashton, Minister of Highways, says, "you look at the picture and expect you could enter into a conversation with them. This shows the importance of art in its truest sense, not as something you just put on the wall, but expressing who and what we are."

November, 2001
"It was a great privilege for me to open your exhibit, Portraits of the North, at the Manitoba Museum last month. The portraits and biographies in the exhibit not only show your expertise as an artist and cultural historian, but also clearly reflect your commitment to the people of the North. Your work is truly a bridge between two cultures."
