Jenifer Stern

"I am interested in the worlds that are unseen, the realm of the imagination, 
all that live in them and the emotions within us. My work addresses the 
theme of identity and is an exploration of the many layers, 
which define who we are as individuals. "

John Shoemaker

He pursued his artistic interests at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he first discovered glass blowing. At this point, John's work shifted to primarily sculpture utilizing wood, glass, and other materials, as well as functional or decorative glass objects. Much of his work is inspired by material history, traditional and industrial craftsmanship, nautical history, and mechanical forces.

Joon H Bae

"I believe in the sovereignty of art, that it transcends experience and subjectivity while retaining remains of both from myself as the artist, and the viewer. It is not only a bridge, but also a resurrection of our selves, a new thing, a new significance."

Colleen Rudolf 
"I create with varied materials and processes while exploring diverse subjects from the overwhelming world around me. Intrigued by gestural, non-linguistic communication in all species, I utilize animal surrogates to discuss and reflect upon the human condition. Often therapeutic, the studio becomes an escape where I can orchestrate the sensitivity that I wish to surround me."

Constriction/Protection/Liberation by Joshua Parker Coombs

Jenny Lee Maas

"I investigate the subconscious realities that are offered through symbolism in dreams.  I often make work based on my dreams, because dreams are symbolic interpretations of reality. There is something both lost and born when translating these intangible realities into a physical form.  Many times I work with one concept (or dream) for a time and translate the same idea through various media.  This allows me to investigate thoroughly, as well as experimentally, in turn giving me a wider scope of perspective and understanding. "

Stephen Millner

"When a particular item or image becomes the seed of a work of art, it triggers a process of developing a visual context – a gestalt or field that represents related feelings, emotions, or life experiences.  Often, the developing work of art will put the item in a new context and expand its meaning."

The Guard by Stephen Millner                          

Michael Konrad

"My work is inspired primarily by the built environment of the urban landscape. I am fascinated by its never-ending cycle of demolition and construction. And I am frightened by its disconnect with nature as I witness our tireless consumption of limited resources. "
