Being able to read a person is more than foreseeing what they are thinking and feeling, it is also about communicating with them. As a portrait photographer, I believe that every portrait I create should be an intimate glimpse into the life and character of the person I am photographing.

” I utilize clay as a vehicle for expres- sion of deep emotional grieving. I dig into the clay and I tap into deep emotional sources. I use the power behind these emotions to unearth age-old questions.”

Bridgette Mongeon

I see the world in the face of the elderly
and the heavens in the face of a child.

Bridgette Mongeon-Sculptor

Through my sculpture work I seek the essence of an individual. I create a memory or time in a life through portraiture of both the living and deceased.

“I like to get my hands dirty. My work grows from the rural communities where I live and work, and collaboration is an important element of my artistic process. As a result, my community has become my studio.”

Tammy Parks

“What exists in the space that lies between “public” and “art” is the embodiment of a dialogue between artist and audience, a conversation that takes place or comes to be in a community of social consciousness, commitment and collaboration.”

“For me, being a poet is about more than participating in the painstaking, brick-by-brick craft of meaning-making, known as writing poetry. poetry is my life’s practice.”

“My urgent mission: infuse the world with hope and inspiration through poetry. Today, my artistic creation takes longer breaths and cycles. “

Nambi E. Kelley

“I am an art practioner. As a professional actress and playwright, my work has been presented at some of the top theatrical venues in the United States as well as internationally. As an actress, I am drawn to new plays, particularly new plays which integrate movement, music, image, and the written word.”

Linka Behn

“A watcher, I collect expressions in the face or shouted in stance of body. Textural history in rusting metals, peeling paint, aging wood describe momentary and transformative life. Combined, they describe individual, moment and time.”

Tom Brenner

“I believe that the essential purpose of every art form is to reflect some aspect of our human experience. For some artists this may constitute a political statement, for others, a literary or visual narrative, factual or fictional.”

Michael Dickins

“By taking images of everyday occurrences and recreating them in a painterly, non-photographic manner, I am not only putting focus on the snapshot and that of the “everyday” image, I am also forcing the viewer to question their importance.”

Coni Porter

“As an interdisciplinary artist, my work is conceptually based in nature and incorporates an awareness of the science behind global climate change. My practice includes working with different media: graphite rendering, abstract acrylic painting, electronic digital media,nature-based musical compositions, and large-scale outdoor installation.”

Pam Callender

“The essence of my current environmental artwork is a playful interaction between Ballroom Dance Standards and terminology and natural found objects. I enjoy making art where the viewer least expects to find it, extending to the spectator an unspoken invitation to participate. “
