Stephanie Clark considers herself a painter, and thread is her medium. She sews her threads in a sequence that ultimately give the illusion of a certain value or color. The direction in which the threads are sewn, mimic the way lines are layered in a drawing to give the hint of depth, volume, and form. Her work is an ode to the traditions of tapestry and her love of craft. She uses embroidery to create domestic imagery to tell the story of life in the home. Her ideas always revert back to the thought of family, and therefore the home.

geolines is a new series by award-winning photographer Mark Maziarz that begins with a working concept of the photograph as a recording of a moment in place and time, then explores the path of reduction and expansion of the image into new layers of color and space. By using portions of his photographic images and expanding them into explosive bars of light and color, Maziarz takes moments of space and time (the “geography” of our emotions and memories) and reimagines them into stacked color lines in a range of stark and richly luminous palettes.

Nathan Sawaya is a New York-based artist who creates awe-inspiring works out of some of the most unlikely things. His art focuses on large-scale sculptures using only toy building blocks: LEGO bricks to be exact. Sawaya's ability to transform LEGO bricks into something new, his devotion to scale and color perfection, the way he conceptualizes the action of the subject matter, enables him to elevate an ordinary toy to the status of fine art.

Inspired by the beauty of the natural world filtered through the lens of memory and imagination, artist Shannon Troxler creates paintings with encaustics. Playing with molten wax and gold leaf has allowed her to approach classic subjects, the landscape and wildlife, with a fresh eye, and delight in the abstract elements of line, gesture, texture and color. The luminous quality of both mediums weave throughout the images to help create a unified whole.

Through mixed media layers of collage, paint and drawing, the Cut & Paste series explores the visual balance between natural and man-made imagery. In a life full of tension, negotiation and opposition, the artists’ interest is in how resolution can occur and the variety of forms it can take. The work records the journey of different ideas and materials fitting together, creating a new image that is neither one nor the other, but a little bit of both.

Nationally recognized painters and fellow print makers, Kathryn Stedham and Jeff Juhlin have joined forces to present One of a Kind, celebrating the art of the monotype. A process that dates back to the early 1600's, monotyping produces a unique print. Stedham's work revisits past themes in her largely monochromatic, hauntingly ghost-like, topsy-turvy forms that explore light, movement and surface within the delicate confines of the papers edge. Juhlin's prints explore the important balance of organizing organic and geometric forms against a backdrop of intense color. Two artists, two different methods of working, in the pursuit of a single image.

Corrine Geertsen's photographs are quirky, visual narratives about psychological situations. Building on many layers of objects, textures, and colors, Geertsen creates photomontages that lean toward Surrealism with their odd juxtapositions, non sequiturs and elements of surprise.

R. Nelson Parrish’s work investigates color, motion and the contemporary landscape. Parrish uses adrenaline based sports like heli skiing, downhill mountain biking and surfing as source material to create Minimalist wall works and totems out of fiberglass, wood and bio-resin.
