Megan Gibson
Printmaking/Drawing – LOCAL – I was once asked what my favorite animal was during an interview years ago. The interviewer of course said his was a tiger. *eye roll* I, completely missing the point of the question replied simply with my favorite animal. A mischievous, thieving, trash loving ball of fluff…. I didn’t get the job. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10222498025492619&set=a.1758627958715
Misty Ogle Semanco
Oil/Acrylic – I consider my artwork a marriage of linear and organic, embracing calm and chaos. My focus is concentrated on shape, color, and texture. My current style of painting is impressionism, but I often veer off to more of an expressionist style that displays and/or evokes emotion. All of my current works are inspired by real places infused with dreams and imaginings. To see a place in person is only one way of looking at it; in my paintings, I want people to see what they can’t in a live view. https://www.mistyogle.com/
Stephen Pitts
Printmaking/Drawing – My drawings are all done by hand, using Rapidiograph pens. I use a ruler and a compass to generate a pencil line grid. Once the grid is in place I then draw the designs in ink. The images are randomly generated and sometimes change significantly during the process of creating them. The drawings are created by drawing one symmetrical feature at a time, much like growing a crystal. https://symmetricaluniverse.com/
Peter Collery
Photography/Digital Art – Peter shows the color, beauty and ever changing world we see all around us. He looks for the life, vitality, mystery and the real beauty that all people have ; the spirit of our nature. https://petercolleryphotography.com/
