Nancy Kubale-Wicker

"My mixed media figures begin with hand building techniques in stoneware clay. I layer the surface with terra sigillata, slips, underglaze, stains, oxides, glazes, underglaze pencils, and decals - firing each piece three to five times. the work is mostly in pieces after the final firing and is assembled with wood, metal, fiber and found objects. There is the visual image, but also the deeper meaning that involves the complexities and contradictions of the world we live in. I am intrigued by what we think, do, and say, by who we are and how we live - primarily at the soul level." - Nancy Kubale-Wicker

Ann Jenkins

"My current work has developed from an exploration of the vast richness of the natural world. Leaves, shells, stones, seeds, bones become the jewels in a wearable piece intended as an object of contemplation. Each fragment is remarkable. All are connected by systems and relationships that underlie the importance of the natural world on our lives and spirits.
The jewelry reliquaries contain precious natural objects that I have collected from my garden, neighborhood and travels." - Ann Jenkins

Chad Wys

"I have chosen to tackle the restrained, but incredibly free-flowing, elegance of nature. With an experimental color palette and liberal use of the brush, I aim to portray the variance of light and shadow on the purity of objects. Through the extreme simplification of shapes and the virtual absence of any intrinsic textures, I hope to convey base qualities of our natural surroundings; the way our mind initially interprets objects not by their complexities but by their very basic conceptual and visual constructs. I suggest that beauty is not only contained within the very essence of everything natural, but also within the eye, interpretations, and experiences that the beholder bestows to the composition.

Done Weeke

"The primary focus of my work is the creation of form. Texture is a secondary but necessary element. The making of the piece begins with a period of incubation where materials coalesce to form a fairly defined image. I then attempt to make real that image by combining the materials with a variety of traditional basketry techniques or an invented one, if necessary. I have never been able to exactly duplicate that intuitive image, but I'll keep trying - a lifelong process." - Don Weeke

Tim Knowles

Artist Tim Knowles is the mastermind and creative genius behind these prints made by trees. He is responsible for setting up the 'conditions' for the work (preparing the canvas and attaching markers to the branches) but the rest is left to wind and the trees. Very random, a little connect-the-dots meets Jackson Pollock and truly unique work. via Double Takes

Jim Mullan

These detailed sculptures are by artist Jim Mullan. The bird collection was inspired by his fascination with birds and antique objects. He begins by hand painting each bird and then adds a variety of vintage pieces. The unusual relics he uses, such as, croquet balls, binoculars and old toys give each inspiring bird his own personality. Objects that were cast aside as useless are used in his designs to demonstrate the fragile balance between nature and industry.

Sarah Moon

“Impressionist photographer” Sarah Moon has spent her entire career dancing down the high-wire tension line strung between fine-art and fashion photography. To my knowledge, she has yet to falter or repeat herself.
Her phantasmagoric vision, though often imitated, would be impossible to duplicate. Most anyone with the time and resources can become a darkroom wizard, and Moon certainly is, using capricious techniques like sepia coloring on matte paper, toned silver gelatin printing, solarization, monochrome Polaroid pack, etc. The mischievous gut level allegory found in Moon’s most memorable compositions sets her apart. - Coilhouse Magazine
