Fractured Earth
by Joshua Urso
Nature, and specifically the strata of geology, inspires my work. I’m attempting to capture and convey the beauty of rock and soil through the use of concrete, stone, and pigment. My inspiration comes not only from the macro of canyons and riverbeds but also the micro of dried mud and aggregate.
Paper Samplers & Pressed Memories
by Rhian Swierat
My work focuses on the recording of memory and making it tangible for others. My process is derived from the historical precedent of a sampler, using stitches to record the forms, patterns, and textures of my experiences of different places.
On Holy Ground
by Mary Jane Miller
My current collection On Holy Ground attempts to merge ancient traditional icon painting with contemporary thought. As a woman iconographer, my mission is to create images that connect our spirituality with remembering who we are.
Two Series: Acetabulum & Nearness Distanced to Presence
by Corey Frey
We can be so near to the world, ideas, and people but simultaneously estranged. The work that I'm attempting to make defamiliarizes just enough to reintroduce relational intimacy. In that way, obfuscation becomes a tool.

by Jennifer Anne Moses
I've been on a God-search pretty much as long as I can remember. So it came as if directly from the Divine when one day, in my early forties, I felt compelled to start painting and picked up a paintbrush.
