RIO is a photographer, writer, and multimedia artist exploring the generational threads between the women in my family-the womb as a keeper of memory, migration, and becoming. She is searching for emotional truth in the space between memory and imagination, the past and the present, the women she came from and the one she is still becoming. She returns often to the idea that our legacy only lives as long as we are remembered. Each creative act-whether a cyanotype, a piece of writing, or a photograph-becomes an attempt to hold onto something that might otherwise fade.

THERMAN STATOM is a sculptor/painter most notably known as a pioneer of the contemporary glass movement for his life-size glass ladders, chairs, tables, constructed box-like paintings, and small-scale houses-all created through the technique of gluing glass plates together. Sandblasted surfaces become a canvas for spontaneous vibrant colors and line work, which take nuances from Abstract Expressionism and concepts of Minimalism, while simultaneously incorporating a twist by using blown-glass elements and found objects. Throughout his career, public artworks have been permanently installed at prominent locations including the Los Angeles Public Library, Corning, Inc. Headquarters, the Mayo Clinic, San Jose Ice Center, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Jepson Center for the Arts in the Telfair Museum, Savannah as well as several hospitals across the country. His artwork appears in numerous exhibitions annually, including solo and group shows around the nation and internationally. Statom has completed over thirty large, site-specific installations. Most notably, his 2009 solo exhibition, Stories of the New World at the Orlando Museum of Art, spanned over 7,000 square feet and has been his largest installation to date. Much of the latter half of Statom's career has been focused on the importance of educational programming within the arts. He has taken a deep interest in employing workshops as a catalyst for social change and in effect, positively impacting a community. Statom studied at Pilchuck Glass School, received a BFA from Rhode Island School Of Design, and later studied at the Pratt Institute of Art & Design.

MEL TINGLEY is an artist based in Omaha, NE. He received his BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1975 with an emphasis on sculpture and drawing. He later went on to complete a BS in mathematics at the University of Nebraska Omaha in 1987. His approach to the arts has been influenced by both of these degrees. When asked, he will say that his fine arts education contributed to his success in mathematics because it taught him to see what is there and not what his mind imagines is there. He has never pursued a career as an artist but successfully worked as an actuarial analyst for many years with several local insurance companies. He continued to produce artwork in both the Hot Shops (2009) and home studio settings (2009 to the present) and began entering works for the Bemis Center Annual Benefit Art Auction beginning in 2010. He currently produces two-dimensional pieces using a soft wax-based colored pencil. The current drawings are vibrant and color-dense with an intentionally formal approach.
