JON AUSTIN was born and raised in North Platte, NE. He moved to Omaha in 2012 after graduating from the University of Nebraska at Kearney to teach pottery at Millard North High School. He works predominantly in ceramics, exploring and expanding the possibilities of traditional pinch pottery techniques. Ancient sculptural forms from Japan and Europe, along with biomorphic shapes found in nature, serve as major influences on his work. Through the combination, alteration, and repetition of numerous hand-built forms, Austin creates sculptures that feel both familiar and otherworldly. His process emphasizes touch, patience, and discovery, allowing each piece to evolve as forms are joined together. By transforming simple pinch pots into complex structures, he investigates themes of growth, interconnectedness, and transformation. Austin hopes viewers will engage with the tactile qualities of his work and discover new relationships between natural forms, history, and contemporary ceramic sculpture.

BRENDAN BISHOP is a multidisciplinary artist working in ceramics, wood, and metal. He works in between studios in Nebraska and Costa Rica. Ceramics found him at age five and never let go, a connection that still shapes how he approaches every material today. His work asks a quiet but persistent question: What does a material remember? Through hand-built sculptural forms, Bishop captures evidence of force, compression, erosion, and arrested motion, holding the tension between resistance and change. His current body of work, Witness Marks, explores time as force through three threads: collapse, duration, and residue. Impact studies hold the instant of collision. Vertical totems suspend the moment between balance and collapse. Form studies trace what remains. Wood enters the work naturally, from Nebraska native species to tropical hardwoods sourced in Central America, each bringing its own grain, weight, and light. Every piece is shaped by hand as a singular, original work.

BOB CULVER, also known as "The Nebraska Kid," is an Omaha-based artist working from his studio and gallery in Florence, where he has developed a distinctive body of work influenced by Pop Art, American culture, personal history, and the Midwestern experience. Working primarily in acrylic and oil on gessoed MDF, Culver cuts, shapes, and modifies the painting surface before applying paint. The resulting works exist between painting and sculpture, transforming the traditional picture plane into a dimensional object. Culver's work combines humor, nostalgia, craftsmanship, and social observation. His imagery draws on popular culture and history while reflecting his enduring interest in the ways American life and cultural change shape personal experience. He earned a BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and completed two residencies at Kent State University in the 1970s. During his years in New York, he worked with Pop artist Red Grooms, who affectionately called him "The Nebraska Kid." Grooms later created a sculpture bearing the nickname for Culver's 23rd birthday, a connection that has remained an important part of his artistic identity.

STEPHEN DINSMORE is a Nebraska-born artist whose paintings display the importance of representational art in expressing 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."

DIANNE FAGO is a self-taught mixed-media and collage artist based in Omaha, NE. Her creative journey began in 2011, discovering that these mediums could form a powerful visual language to express what she often struggled to put into words. Believing deeply in the healing power of art, Fago's expressive pieces reflect a spectrum of human emotion through bold, tactile paint layers and intricate, hand-cut paper imagery. An avid upcycler, she often rescues materials destined for the trash, utilizing discarded cardboard and packaging to build texture in her mixed-media pieces, and vintage books or magazines to breathe new life into her collage work. Fago has exhibited her work in local spaces, including Joslyn Castle, Radial Arts Center, Clover24, Cali Commons, Benson First Fridays, and independent artist-hosted shows.

GRAYSON FAIR (b. 1992) is based in Santa Fe, NM, where his practice is shaped by movement, material, and place. He studied at the University of North Texas, focusing on sculpture, drawing, fibers, and ultimately grounding himself in ceramics. After graduating, Fair participated in a series of residencies across the country, from a yearlong immersion in Taos, NM, and Arizona's Reitz Ranch to the American Museum of Ceramic Arts in Pomona, CA. Most recently, he was a two-year wood-fire resident at the Clay Studio of Missoula in Missoula, MT. Afterward, he moved to Omaha, NE, where he worked as a studio assistant to Jun Kaneko.

REBECCA ALEXANDRA HERSKOVITZ is an artist and educator whose work embodies authenticity and nuanced meaning-making. It is an investigation of the ways that humans engage with life's challenging realities, including loss and grief, as well as the existence that marches on afterward. Herskovitz's paintings weave together organic shapes, abstract color fields, and linear elements. A form materializes, though only for a moment-vacillating interchangeably, and perhaps simultaneously, between foreground and background. Each piece includes a component of dissolution: a reminder that nothing is certain. Born in Boston, Herskovitz earned her BA and MAT in Visual Art from Clark University. She then lived in Omaha, exhibiting throughout the region and receiving the OEA award for Best Emerging Visual Artist in 2011. Herskovitz graduated from the University of Nebraska Omaha with an MS in Special Education, focusing on teen social-emotional and mental health. Herskovitz now resides in Western Massachusetts.

JUSTIN N. KIM (b. 1989, Incheon, South Korea) is a Los Angeles-based artist interested in visualizing the invisible energy that humans cannot see but can feel and experience. This ethereal aura can be felt, but neither touched nor seen; it becomes recognizable through moments that remind people of the unseen threads connecting all things. Through abstract map paintings and landscapes, Kim explores this formless light and the subtle connections it creates, revealing an invisible energy that links people, places, and experiences in one way or another. His Bigger Than Myself series developed out of observing people's desire to connect with others, including his own desire to connect with others. The paintings offer an abstract view of life, with many different people and things happening all at once. Kim earned his MFA from Cal State University, Northridge in 2018. Kim works with la BEAST Gallery, Los Angeles; Richard Levy Gallery, New Mexico; BAM Art Advisory, New York; and Mooni, New York. Kim's work is in the permanent collections of CSU Northridge, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, San Jose, CA, and Gateway Center, Albuquerque, NM.

PATRICK J. MILLER is a Minneapolis-based painter who uses oil painting to explore perception, emotion, and connection in the natural world. With an Associate of Applied Science in Visual Communications from the Brown Institute, he approaches each piece with both technical precision and a deep sensitivity to the subject. Working primarily from reference photos, Miller captures intimate, first-person perspectives-moments when two living beings briefly recognize each other. His paintings focus on small shifts in viewpoint and subtle optical cues to convey a story that words cannot fully express. Whether depicting a monarch butterfly in mid-flight or the quiet curve of a petal, each image seeks to evoke a shared moment of awareness. Color accuracy and composition are essential to his work, grounding the viewer even as perspective challenges the eye. Through his art, Miller invites viewers into a reflective space-one where presence, consciousness, and the rhythms of life quietly unfold.

GEE NEDDO is an Omaha-based artist working across sculpture, watercolor, and gardening. Their practice exists in conversation with both the spaces their work inhabits and the questions they can't seem to leave alone. Watercolor serves as an exercise in attention: painting what is directly in front of them as a way of returning to the present. Sculpture, by contrast, is where persistent questions are given physical form. Sometimes those questions concern queerness, inherited expectations, motherhood, rage, or the persistent suspicion that making art might require a level of self-importance they haven't yet agreed to possess. Other times, the answer is simply to make a silly little guy. Both approaches feel equally necessary.

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.

VICTORIA SHEN is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on sound and performance based in San Francisco. Shen's practice is concerned with the materiality of sound and its relationship to the human body through a lens of disruption and experimentation. She creates and manipulates custom-built sculptures and extensions specific to her body to challenge conventional methods of sound production. She uses her body as both subject and instrument, using movement and tactility to provoke visceral, often confrontational encounters with sound. Her performances are deliberately physical, unpredictable, and ephemeral-rejecting polish in favor of raw immediacy. Through a discursive practice spanning sound, performance, installation, and sculpture, themes of spectacle, violence, control, and gender are interrogated. The intention is not to comfort or entertain, but to destabilize: to push systems, tools, and traditions until they reveal something unexpected.

COLIN SMITH's paintings and sculpture expand the conventions of painting. Beginning with the joys of material, color, and the graphic image, Smith's newest works are aggressive, buoyant, and difficult to classify. The wall works reference minimal painting and expressionism, yet their colors and forms are fully contemporary. The floor sculptures are playful and casual, yet their offhandedness belies a rigorous process and intentional mark making. Smith is interested in making works that charge retinal and interior spaces. They move when you squint and can throw you off-balance if you get too close. His abstractions have a liveliness and spirit that is rare in contemporary painting, particularly in works that contain such a restrained and focused bag of tricks. Smith received his BFA in 1988 from the University of Nebraska Omaha and his MFA in 1992 from Drake University. He teaches at University of Nebraska Omaha.

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.

MARY ANN STRANDELL is a painter of note. Her work examines the intersection of nature and technology in our participation with society. Combining places and objects as content markers, she considers the collapse of historic space between the baroque, modernism, and the post-modern. These subjects are explored with drawing, painting, and 3D lenticular media. Works begin as singular paintings and evolve into 3D lenticular. Its hypnagogic complex montage system translates hand-drawn images into a language of glitch, with interwoven optical fabrications. Strandell's BFA is from the University of South Dakota; her MA and MFA are from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Her work has been exhibited and written about widely. She has received numerous grants, residencies, and awards, including the NEA in Midwest Painting Arts, an Arts and Humanities Grant, a Geraldine R.

MICHAEL TEGLAND is an artist living in Omaha, NE. Tegland's textural graphite drawings on matte black panels are deeply rooted in several cultural influences, especially his own Norse and Germanic past. This may account for his works' black-on-black palette and images of both obscure and familiar figures embedded in a web of geometric patterns. His imagery varies from Celtic elements and Maori tattoos to extraterrestrial crop circles. His meticulous mark-making, as well as tonal variations from clay to metal, invite one to explore the exterior as both mirror and window. Tegland attended the University of Nebraska Omaha, where he studied Fine Arts. Equally influential was Tegland's thirty-year stint as Chief Preparator at Joslyn Art Museum. A full-time artist, Tegland's work resides in numerous private and public collections in the United States and Europe, including the permanent collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art.

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.

BEVERLY TODD's art is a joyful leap into the "what if?"-painted with pure wonder and a fearless "let's see!" attitude. Her canvases pulse with raw energy, built through a deeply physical process: manipulating acrylics, oils, and mixed media with hardware store brushes, broken sticks, and her own hands to create dynamic layers and unexpected texture. Inspired by the open prairies of her Nebraska upbringing and now rooted in the high desert of Santa Fe, Todd's work embraces childlike curiosity and the unconventional. Since moving her practice to New Mexico in 2018, she has shared this energy through Santa Fe Artist Getaway-coaching artists to discover their potential and lead with big, free, expressive painting. Her work is held in collections at the University of Nebraska, Albrecht-Kemper Museum, Wilson Performing Arts Center, and Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado, and is featured in the publication Wild Lands.
