Shelley Calton
A native Houstonian, Calton attended Glassell School of Art. She has spent the last several years perfecting her style and printing technique. Utilizing all the qualities of medium format, she produces stunning gelatin silver prints that are selenium toned for a desired effect, as well as archival purposes.
"The elegant photographs of Shelley Calton vacillate between their lucidity and the secrets that lie within. Her selective inquiry of the human form and various objects explores their relationship between intimate surroundings and the circumstances of the moment. Calton's images draw the viewer in with their sensual grace revealing a mood, a mystery, a memory that lingers...she starts a story the viewer must finish."

Joseph Hammer
These pieces are from the heart. I’m a lover of books, and I wonder: will there be books as we now know them in the future?
I’m partial to using old, discarded hardback books in collages and am inspired by the varieties of colors and textures on their covers, by how they can be used, like paint, to provoke feelings and emotions, to explore things such as line, color saturation and tension.
As a lover of history, I pay tribute to these threadbare, tattered tomes. They provide a look back at the bookbinder’s craft and the careful, sometimes elaborate designs, marbling and gold leaf, of long ago. Deterioration does not diminish their beauty but adds a patina of use, of human “hand prints.”

John Jenkins
John’s Genomic works are designed to represent the basic element of life, DNA. The sequencing of images and diagrams in each work create a visual pattern that is intended to evoke the modern fascination with genetic mapping and self discovery through investigation of most basic inner workings. The possibilities of genetics are endless and the permutations are infinite. Each genetic sequence is unique. The paintings can be viewed individually or combined in a sequence just like the genomes they represent.

Julia Koivumaa
My vision, my art speaks the vocabulary of creation and transformation. While I begin with a narrative, these sometimes remain nebulous and obscure and are therefore open to interpretation, influence and rethinking as images take shape. Through the immediacy of image-making, I find a meaningful channel for ideas that hover and live in my sub-conscious mind. These images flicker, find form and dissipate once exposed to my conscious observation. These nebulous confines attempt to capture and define these glimpses or moments in time. Primitive elements and imagery are transformational and aid in the fabrication of meaning.
