STEPHEN DINSMORE is a Nebraska-born artist whose paintings display the importance of representational art in expressing a visual poetry. His work can be found in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. "When you get it right, a painting has something of the sublime. A vitality that is a marriage of color and light, mystery and joy, longing and beauty."
Dinsmore paints from studios in Nebraska, Maine and Florida. "For me, painting means being always on the lookout for an image that excites. The creamy light of late afternoon on the landscape; the abstract beauty of marks on the side of a train car; new snow that reshapes all it touches; an interior filled with color and reverie; the riveting beauty of a vase of flowers; a fly fisherman in shadow; a disregarded corner of town; a found image. I try to make a painting that has something of the magic and mystery of the thing; the alchemy; the thing that excites."

JOSEPH PANKOWSKI investigates time through sequences in drawings and paintings. What is time and how does it work is infinitely fascinating to Pankowski.
"These image sequences can be read as-is, stationary key poses of a form changing, but they are usually digitally animated. Working on how to make something look like it is moving, transforming, evolving, really helps you see time. Time and sequence are these things that allows you to walk around something and see it from multiple sides, explain an idea from beginning to end, or express a transformation. It takes time to change, to move from this to that."

PATTY TALBERT's work is inspired by techniques used in Batiking.
"When the elements of Batiking are translated onto canvas or wood, there is a building up of different colors, patterns and textures. The relationship between these three elements creates a unique harmony within the elements of each design. Through the years, my art work has changed and evolved, but it has also given me a sense of purpose and a vehicle to express my feelings and desires. My style of painting has allowed me to encompass methods of expression utilized by my ancestors and also adds a modern relevance to my growth as a proud Black American Female Artist."

LAURIE VICTOR KAY (b. 1971) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blurs the lines between photography, painting, installation, and digital mediums to address constructed imagination, idealization, and a sense of the surreal.

She studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and photography at Columbia College Chicago (BFA, 1995). She has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, and her work is held in numerous private collections.
