When starting down his path, BenJamin was given the words from another artist, "make what you like" - from those words Ben Jamin has found that the warm energy we all feel in great art comes from the artists who truly love what they create. Ben creates his work using a plasma torch to create relief in thick steel plate. He then refines and polishes each piece before adding some color by way of chemical reaction, or patina. Ben has been refining his techniques for almost 15 years, and the quality of his patinas and finishes reveal just that. Be sure to take a look at his web site www.BJaminCustoms.com
Doug Wodark's art centers on an update of the iconic image of cowboys and Native Americans as well as animals in a more contemporary light. A simple, atmospheric background, often with a solvent-based patina, overlaid by a single, closely cropped silhouette. Doug lives in Castle Rock, Colorado with his wife, Heidi, and two children.
His work can be found at various galleries throughout the West.

Charles Sherman's work is inspired by a lifelong study of ancient civilizations, world cultures and religions. His philosophy of life and art has always been the same: to promote the positive. The forms he creates are minimalist, conceptual and inspired by sacred geometry. In 2002, Sherman began investigating sculptural forms that express the concept of infinity, especially the three-dimensional Möbius form or continuum, to create ceramic Infinity Ring sculptures. He hand builds in clay, using the most primitive sculpture tools and coil or slab construction techniques. Sometimes he applies glass mosaic to the ceramic, or transform the work into bronze or stainless steel. Sherman's most recent body of work, the Miracle Towers, is based on variations of tetrahedron and pyramid forms, in welded and hand-brushed stainless steel, or cold-pressed steel with glass mosaic or various patinas. Sherman's sculptures are designed to emit positive energy to the environment. His intention is to elevate the spirit of the viewer. www.CharlesShermanArt.com

Peter has been an artist for as long as he can remember and still proudly displays the ceramic dinosaur he made when he was just four years old. However, since 1986 he has solely worked in watercolors. Peter has shown his artwork in juried shows and galleries throughout the country since winning numerous awards. Peter's free-flowing style makes his watercolors unique. Peter is a mood painter creating an impression of his sublet matter through the use of bold and energetic colors. Peter's greatest satisfaction comes from the donation to worthy causes such as Habitat for the Humanity, the American Heart Association, the American Breast Cancer Society, Children’s Hospice House among others and was commissioned by Johns Hopkins in Baltimore where he produced some 50 originals for their surgery wing, Recently, Wake Forest’s University’s new neonatal center approached Peter to paint the signature piece for the entrance to their new center and his 48 x 60 inch “Baby Bear” adorns the entrance. His work is bright and bold watercolors that adhere to wood panels treated with a preservative. https://peter-freischlag.squarespace.com/
A pine needle basket takes its shape from the bottom up. The base can be created from a colorful agate slice, a restored piece of driftwood or a gourd that has been cut and carved into a beautiful vessel. Gourd bases can be inlaid with turquoise or delicate beading; it can be wood burned with a whimsical or dramatic picture or a repetitive pattern but, it always serves as the foundation for an intricately woven crown of pine needles. The pine needles are dyed in various colors and then hand woven one-at-a-time to create the finishing touch to each base. Further embellishments on the crown may include things such as feathers, antlers or antique silver buckle. www.PNCbyJennyKerr.com

His work is derived from His love of childhood and the endless imaginings that come with it. With his joyfull whimsical imagination, Christopher strives to create a deeper dimension to the stories and imagery he skillfully portrays in his sculpture.
“When I see, or imagine, a subject or scene, I love the inherent beauty present in its shape, texture, and flow. The medium is the same way, though I draw and paint, I am drawn to the tactile feel of clay in my hands. I do most of my work with my bare hands, only using tools as extensions of them when necessary.”
By blending two of natures alluring elements, wood and stone, Tina creates functional, culinary accessories. Her Cutting Boards, Gathering Boards, Serving Platters and Dipping Trays will elevate your daily or special occasions.
Tina meticulously searches through arborists’ wood lots looking for the perfectly flawed, cracked and knot filled hardwoods that other woodworkers pass by because of these deficits. She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these into these cracks and voids. Following a similar method to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken and fractured pottery is mended with gold or silver dust, thereby restoring the fragments to a functional and more beautiful piece. http://knot-wong.squarespace.com/
Marilyn's art is reverse painting on acrylics. Yep, she paints in reverse from the most forward elements of the piece to the furthest back. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate its magic.

Painting in a modern impressionist style, Marilyn's art is infused with brilliant light and color. Her use of textured, bold brush strokes magnifies the vivid impressionist style.
