Joe Cunningham Joe focuses on printmaking, papermaking and working with recycled material. Working with handmade papers, metals and fabric surfaces with different plates, woodblocks or photographic images lets Joe experiment with images multiple times. It also allows him to show that art should have a hint of imperfection. |

Drawing www.notwolfproductions.com The smaller pictures embedded in Bob’s drawings are an essential component of his work. Aside from the unique texture they provide, they are unplanned and result from a stream of consciousness: he doesn’t know what I’m drawing until he starts drawing it. Visitors at shows or galleries are always amazed watching the process. Additionally, Bob replicates the equations from his PhD dissertation as graphics. He doesn’t know what they mean any longer, but he thinks they look cool. The idea is to keep you looking and always finding something new.

Jim
Koenig For two decades he has been creating and selling art made from objects found while hiking in woodlands, meadows and streets. Recently retired from nearly 30 years working as a building maintenance supervisor, Jim holds a BA in history and an MA in museum studies, writes and publishes short stories, is a long time volunteer at Harpers Ferry National Park. Naturally curious,
Jim finds things that appeal to his artistic sense and translates
them into an elegant or often whimsical creation. Almost every
day Jim hikes a few miles and all too frequently chances upon
a discovery to add to his working inventory that may become
his next unexpected creation. Taking the "finds" as
he calls them, back to his shop, Jim noodles and fiddles until
the concept emerges as a finished piece. |
