Margaret Keelan



"Much of my most recent work has the appearance of weathered wooden dolls. The clay has been textured and stained, the faces press molded, the hair, untidy and in complete disarray, taken from beloved, abused and abandoned dolls. As I make these sculptures my mind lingers on images of Greek classical figures, those ones that have become incomplete, but beautiful, or, African tribal wood sculpture and their practical purposes of honoring ancestors, and connecting with the spirit world." - Margaret Keelan

"My paintings and assemblages address the relationship between man and the environment through the use of symbolic landscapes. I explore the concepts of stewardship, consumption and control within the landscape framework. Society’s "marks" on the landscape and the manipulation of the environment are ongoing issues I seek to discuss.
This ongoing theme remains present in my recent work. The paintings address the conjunction of nature, industry, and science. They examine and define these fragile bonds through the juxtaposition of found objects, landscape imagery and the written word." - Kathryn Frund

"Imagery is closely associated with process. The mood and content of the work is largely a product of its surface and substance. The works begin on fresco where pigment is stained into wet plaster, creating either an image or an evocative worn surface. Once dry, multiple rounds of scraping and layering of paint takes place. Process is used to reveal small vignettes of development of the painting. Once the imagery has come together, illumination of the work with transparent glazes of oil color begins. Each oil glaze works through other much like vellums, giving the painting an inner luminosity. Ultimately, I hope these paintings resonate with a broad spectrum of people, engaging the viewer in present time with a modern beauty created through worn surfaces and contemporary imagery.

Janine DeCresenzo



"The jewelry I create is both primal and urban, an eclectic mix of found objects and fine metals. I am intrigued by mechanisms and often incorporate unusual clasps into the design. In my studio I am an engineer, an inventor, and a scientist, working to create jewelry that has a history and tells a story. " - Janine DeCresenzo

Gilles Payette



"Tunic, kimono, robe, armor, shield-glass worker Gilles Payette interprets these objects through multiple representations, experimenting with form and color: solidifying, twisting, molding, exploring transparency and opacity. By concentrating on and deconstructing these objects that protect, that cover, that engirt the body, his work evolves into a meditation on our physicality and the core experience that gives each of us a sense of our selves.: - website.
