A. Marcia Babler – “Lone Booth” – Photography [Archival Pigment Print]

“This piece records the change in communication while creating a sense of isolation. The viewer is invited into the composition to experience the loneliness of change.”

H. Marcia Babler – “Refresh” – Photography [Archival Pigment Print] “This piece is an abstraction of form and motion. Capturing a close-up of water, the blue and green dancing forms uplift and energize the viewer.”

A. Jose Bolet – “Bird 1” and “Bird 2” – Painting On a multi-color background, a bird shows up from dripping paint.

T. Jose Bolet – “Blue Bird” – Painting “The figure of a bird appears from dripping paint.”

C. JoAnn Kennedy – “Twisted Sister” – Painting “I began with a distorted grid and a quilt pattern, adding rich color to draw the viewer into this piece. Metallic paints create a strong effect.”

I. Diane Keys – “Rain” – Collage “I use found objects almost exclusively in my art. This is a collage made from items found on my daily travels.”

C. Diane Keys – “Visual Poetry” – Collage “This is a visual poetry collage. It is intended to blur the line between text and art. The words are rearranged to create new meaning.”

B. Doris Kucik – “Tattered Barn” – Painting “A dilapidated barn in Door County left to crumble from lack of use.”
