Suzanne Kane

"This land amazes me; despite a harsh climate and severe drought the landscape is filled with weird and wonderful growing things.   My sculptural forms are a reflection on the unusual seeds and structures that endure and survive in this landscape.  The sculptural plants I build are about resilience, persistence, toughness, durability, tenacity and adaptability."

Michelle Arterburn 

My inspiration for the Industrial Filigree Series is based on the mutual impacts of manufacturing technologies developed during the Second Industrial Revolution (1870-1914), and the simultaneous artistic Arts and Crafts movement that ardently pushed back in response to the negative impacts of automation. During this period, steel fabrication was refined and the invention of the automated loom mass-produced stylized floral Damask (two-sided  fabrics) designs. With deep appreciation for the historical impact of these movements, every piece in the collection is built entirely by hand in porcelain clay. Decorative Damask design elements are overlaid creating multidimentional surface patterns. Lastly, seams and edges are "joined" by facsimiles of metal fasteners, sculptured machine bolt and screw heads complete the union. Each Industrial Filigree piece is unique, methodically built with focused attention to detail, from my hand to yours.

The inspiration for my work comes from patterns, color and texture that naturally occur in nature.  Growing up in the southwestern desert has also influenced my work with its ancient history and diverse culture.  Incorporating those things that give nature its inherent uniqueness and beauty, with awareness of ancient cultural patterns

My art, life, and spirit are inseparable. Although I work in a variety of media - including painting, photography, and textiles, - my methodology is the same. I begin with an idea, then create a structure or framework, but always leave room for the unknown and unexpected. This enables my creativity to flow without the constraints of a predetermined plan.

Susan Epperly

My artwork combines acrylic paint, collage, and all manner of found and reclaimed materials to craft highly textural fantasy portraits of strong, beautiful women of all ethnicities. My illustrative painting style joyfully and playfully depicts noble women who only exist in the realm of my imagination. My work is heavily influenced by my epic battle with breast cancer that started in 2017. That experience has helped infuse my work with themes of resiliency, poignancy, and radical optimism. 

Laverne S. Kennedy

Often working with fabrics sourced outside of the US, Laverne creates highly detailed earrings that are wonderfully light on the ears.

Jan French

I am a Mixed Media and Assemblage (found objects) Artist. Each new painting is a new and exciting challenge. I often find myself being led to create a new process using unusual mixtures of materials and techniques. I never know in the beginning how each piece will evolve. They seem to take on a life of their own while I am working which makes the whole creative process a mysterious and joyful journey. Even I am surprised by what emerges. 

Vicky Morrow

"I see things not for what they are, instead for what they can be. The hunt and gathering is a joy in the creative process. There is as much fun and creative thought in "making the parts" from handmade tiles and beads, rusting the fabric, creating patina on metals, making paper to weaving wire parts. Finally, all the pieces come together creating an assemblage or vessel or a piece of jewelry appealing to the eye, the heart, or a memory.
