Adams' work depicts the forests, wildlife and wildflowers of the world. She concentrates her subject matter on the flora and fauna and birds that live around her. An avid birder and hiker, Adams' work brings the viewer into the emotional and spiritual connection she feels in the presence of nature. Source material includes found items from nature, textured papers, painted papers, and exotic patterned papers that have been cut up, layered, and adhered with acrylic medium. Often, ten or more layers of material are used to create a single work. The result is a "painting" with a distinct, three-dimensional effect. Adams has shown her work in galleries and juried exhibitions throughout the United States. Her pieces are owned in a number of corporate collections as well as private collections around the world. Adams ventured into the business side of the art world when in 2016 she opened Brickworks Gallery in an historic, industrial era building on the Atlanta Beltline's Eastside Trail.

Dennis Campay was born in 1950 in Portsmouth, VA. He began his artistic career at age 37 then received his B.F.A. from Atlanta College of Art at age 42. Considered to be one of the most classic visual storytellers, Campay invites the viewer into his richly colored worlds of reverie, reality, intimacy and spiritual journey. Campay takes a question or observation and connects those principals and theories with emblems, symbols and signs, creating the imagery represented in many of his architectural compositions. This philosophy, combined with his passion for drawing, which he describes himself as "a central component of [his] work and creative process", enables him to construct pictures that embody proportion, harmony, and spirituality. His work weaves a tapestry of stories that leaves much for the viewer to feel and reflect upon. Campay has participated in numerous solo and group shows, throughout his nearly four-decade career, and is the recipient of a plethora of awards.

Elyse Defoor is an Atlanta-based artist and curator who responds to the wonders and tragedies of the world. Defoor's exhibited artworks in 2019 included her installation of Uncloaked at Thomas Deans Fine Arts, her work in her curated exhibition Loss. Redemption. Grace at EBD4, and Exuvia in an exhibition of Atlanta artists in Riga, Latvia. For Atlanta Celebrates Photography 2019, she curated Al Clayton's Drag Queens & Club Kids. In late 2019, Defoor photographed herself in front of one of her large paintings and discovered that her figure had the appearance of shifting in and out of the artwork. This unexpected outcome inspired the Embodiment series, which she has continued for the past year. Each image represents a singular moment that Defoor creates in real time using her photography, dance and artwork as an interpretation of our liminal state. Embodiment in Tori's Gate, No. 1 is Defoor's newest work in this series.

They always tell you not to judge a book by its cover, but doesn't the cover function as a form of communication? Coorain is curious about the world and its surfaces - there are so many spectacular glossy surfaces, on objects, and on people. They love to look at food and celebrity personalities and plastic packaging. It all seems so frivolous, but with a little inspection, it turns out everything is available on the surface. Coorain takes on the role of the domestic goddess, infomercial host, and other demonstrative consumers in my work. These personas are notable in that they turn what has historically been a trap (the kitchen, consumerism) into a powerful stage. In many ways, these are traps that Coorain sees themself in and finds the stage my escape.They look at the media messages around the collective us - just really look at them, in all their glory and excess.

The Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta represents Eakin's work. He is a recipient of Fellowships from The Hambidge Center and The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and has work included in several corporate and private collections in the US. He limits his compositional tools to simple forms, straight lines and color in a system that echoes the orderly horizontal landscape Eakin grew up in. Scott Eakin's mark making is time consuming, resisting shortcuts in an effort to make work that has both beauty and stamina.

Sarah Emerson is an artist based in Atlanta, GA. Her paintings and installations present viewers with highly stylized versions of nature that combine geometric patterns and mythic archetypes to examine contemporary landscape. She uses the camouflage of beautiful colors combined with a deliberate composition to explore themes that reflect on the fragility of life and the disintegration of our natural landscape. Emerson graduated from the Atlanta College of Art in 1998 and she completed her Masters Degree at Goldsmiths College, London in 2000. She has exhibited her work in galleries throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Atlanta-based artist, Sally W. Eppstein, finds her inspiration in the natural world for both her paintings and sculptural works. Sally lived in Charleston, SC years ago and enjoyed all the old trees draped with Spanish moss. Even now, the southern staple of Spanish moss very much is affected by global warming due to high winds and the long regrow for such a simple plant. When she paints Spanish moss it is symbolic of the world as a whole and how the people and countries need to work together to help all of nature and humans. Sally received a degree in jewelry from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, NY. She has a BFA from Augusta University. Sally has five commissioned sculptures in Metro Atlanta, and she has exhibited her paintings. She had two residencies, one at Vermont Studio Center and at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve.

A rare and visceral artist, Gail Foster's works are passionately expressive rendering of complex ideas. Her latest endeavors include elemental photography of "trash-to- treasure" assemblages, low-VOC acrylic paintings and mixed media on paper. An uplifting and impassioned view of the human condition, regardless of gender, in the inner power of the spirit is celebrated in Gail Foster's artwork Often surrounded by rich jeweled darkness, the figures themselves are a source of illumination. Inhabiting a deep indefinite space like that at night, this pulsing luminous symbolism invokes ancient mysteries. The inclusion of her art in 12 museum solo and group exhibitions, 32 solo private gallery shows, 72 private gallery group shows, studio films, lifestyle and trade publications as well as private and public collections is a testament to her depth of talent.

Gwen Gunter's art practice brings a freshness to organic geometric abstraction that pays homage to the forebears of minimalism and hardedge painting. Her shapes are pure yet playful and are energized by curved as well as straight lines that move over and through the composition. Moving to abstraction from objective painting, shapes emerged that brought with them an unexpected vocabulary and meaning. Originally two shapes in opposition, informed by carefully selected color, these shapes have become the impetus of her painting practice. The work continues to evolve as line becomes an increasingly important element in the dialogue. Located in Atlanta, GA. Gunter has participated in juried exhibitions across the country from New York to San Francisco as well as the Southeast.

My paintings are about these ephemeral moments. My love of nature was first formed over many childhood summers spent on Jekyll Island, GA, where Live Oaks drip Spanish moss and marsh meets ocean.

Julie L. Sims lives and works in Atlanta. Her work is informed by an interest in science and the nature of reality-from theoretical physics and the idea that we may exist in a multiverse, to neuroscience and the construction of subjective reality from perception. A recent breast cancer experience led her to question the idea that we can have control over our fate, and to create work in which direct control is deliberately relinquished. She has exhibited nationally, and locally at Whitespace, Gallery 72, MINT Gallery, The Dalton Gallery, and The Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design, among others. Her work has been written about in Creative Loafing, ArtsATL.com, and has been featured in publications including Possible Futures' Noplaceness: Art in a Post-Urban Landscape.

Daniel Soder is a photographer, designer, and sculptor, however most of their career was spent as a creative director in advertising agencies. I don't see much of a distinction between fine art, design, and the commercial arts. The creative process is the same whether you are working for a client or your own vision. Soder expresses their ambivalence for arbitrary creative categories in their sculptures for example. For Daniel, they are both furniture and sculpture. Whether they function as a side table or on a pedestal makes little difference for Soder as long as they elicit aesthetic pleasure. The inspiration for their photography and sculpture/furniture derives from their curiosity in science, specifically the physics of light and the geometry of space. The colors in Daniel Soder's photographs and sculptures come from splitting white light into discrete colors of the spectrum using optical devices. The desire to create images and objects that arrest viewers attention and trigger wonder and curiosity.

Whatever the subject, Stratton's intent is the same; he captures the essence of his surroundings. Since a camera does not capture all the levels of light that the human eye can see, Stratton captures multiple levels of exposure in each photograph, reviving the dynamic range of light that gets lost in translation between man and machine. Stratton depicts not just beautiful compositions and intriguing scenes but seeks to transport the viewer into the ambience of the place itself.Photography was also deeply integrated into his roots. His great grandmother was one of the first ever models for Kodak, and his grandmother worked on the original program of Photoshop. Stratton took these passions and has traveled to over 20 countries around the world capturing and collecting images that feed his soul. Images span throughout the United States from California to New York City and from the streets of London to Argentina and Chile.

In Thomas Swanston's current body of paintings, the overarching theme of migration carries a multitude of connotations; most notably, migration speaks to the mystical movement through space and time, from one location to another and the ultimate return home. The recurring patterns of sandhill crane migrations remind us of nature's ability to renew and revive itself, rhythmically changing, yet remaining stable and consistent through the seasons. Such is also the human life, changing with each year and each generation. Like migratory birds, physical and spiritual travelers alike explore new or familiar places, always to return to the one special locale that they call "home." In their seasonal trips from North to South and then back, and in their victorious return from near extinction back into the cycle of life, sandhill cranes remind the viewer that all journeys have a purpose and an end, no matter how long they might be or how far away from home they may take us.

Over the last three decades Ife has worked actively as a maker in stone and ceramics while also serving in several administrative roles. As an artist she was the inaugural Sculptor-in-Residence at the Paul Abrams Endowment Project in Miami, where she created original artworks using traditional stone carving techniques. A residency at The Hambidge Center was pivotal in her transition from stone to clay. Over the last three years, she has worked to refine her voice and establish a visual dialogue with thrown and altered porcelain wall installations.

Broken English [Punctuation], 2020
Ink on ChromaLuxe HD metal
36 x 24 in.
#2 in an edition of 5
Broken English [Punctuation] is an artist's book about European colonization and its effect on modern society, especially regarding language. It blends English translation dictionaries with languages from Britain's former colonies. In this case, India and East Africa. Punjabi, Swahili and English intermingle in composed cacophony. Having imposed itself on every page, the English language dominates the work. This artist's book also contains pages from novels in the Western literary canon that are hailed as must-read classics. These include Moby Dick, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Canterbury Tales, The Last of The Mohicans, and Heart of Darkness. All share the theme of a European or American male traveling through unfamiliar land. When the men encounter natives and people of color, the descriptions are rarely (if ever) flattering. Brown characters are often depicted as unintelligent, violent and speak with broken English.
Riddled with negative depictions, these tales reinforce Western notions of social hierarchies based on race, class and gender. To counter that, I dismembered pages from the books and literally disrupted the English narrative. By mixing the dictionaries and stories together, Broken English [Punctuation] directly connects invasion, imposition, and implication.

Murder Ballad: Absorbed by Agarum Fimbriatum, 2021
Ink pen, color pencil on Stonehenge paper
7 x 5 in.
Lisa Alembik envisions a compassionate bond between women and nature. She considers how both are subjugated and suffocated by the dominant power, drawing parallels to show how they are perpetually affected by oppression and violence. In her drawings, plants and insects function as witnesses to crimes perpetrated against women, and as absorbers of loss and caretakers for what remains. Alembik often reflects on the loss of her relatives destroyed in the Holocaust, placing her subjects-insects, plant and human-in domestic settings reminiscent of where she dreams they would have resided if they survived. Alembik is an Assistant Professor at Perimeter College of Georgia State University. She served as Gallery Director at Agnes Scott College for over a decade, and in 2019 curated On Singing the Body Formless and Electric at Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta. During the month of April, her work will be on view in Flower Show at Gallery 378 in Candler Park, Atlanta.

Photograph, cyanotype
9 x 12 in.
Rinne Allen is a photographer based in her hometown of Athens, Georgia who moves between working in the field as a photojournalist and working quietly in her studio making one-of-a-kind light drawings and other photographs. This piece is one of her light drawings, specifically a cyanotype- a 150+ year old photographic process that, instead of using a camera, uses the sun and a chemical reaction. Each one is unique and she sees the alchemistic, hands-on process of making them as an antidote the technology involved with most photography today.

Jerry Saltz, Pulitzer Prize winner (2018) for criticism and Senior Art critic for New York Magazine, has evaluated Hollis Hildebrand-Mills' work on Instagram and has given her direction and advice. She has suspended Instagram for the time being in order to work on a solo exhibition at Ceres Gallery in September 2022 in New York City. Collage has attracted Hollis because of her perception that creating the art and the process of viewing the art is a similar experience. By using the trademark Divine Imagery Is Everywhere?, Hollis subscribes to a belief that ideas flow through her. She doesn't claim them as something personal after they are executed. Hollis studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She also took post-graduate classes in the degree program at Atlanta College of Art, now known as AIGA SCAD, Atlanta. Hollis received a BFA from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia.

Rice on panel
8 x 8 in.
Soo Kim is a Korean-American Painter. She was born in South Korea and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1996. With busy parents, both Soo and her younger sister were raised by their grandparents who lived through the Korean War and witnessed the rapid growth of the country which was once in poverty. Soo's work with rice is a dialog and a journey of process and discovery. Each grain of rice has been carefully considered and individually placed onto the surface implicating the silent power of multitudes and reserving a gesture of respect to times when rice was a scarcity. Soo's paintings are a celebration of the joys in her life as well as the idea of meditation. Her works are influenced by a root to culture and minimalistic concepts. Residing in Atlanta, GA, Soo has earned a BFA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. Her works have been exhibited at various museum and gallery shows both locally and regionally.

Hannah Pasedag is a visual artist and educator based in the Atlanta metro area. Inspired by her love for storytelling, and experiences in marginalized communities, her work follows themes of visibility and isolation. To be seen is both a powerful and terrifying thing, in equal measure. Being apparent means an openness and vulnerability not everyone can afford to have. Through visual stories that span materials, she hopes to convey her own hidden experiences, while giving space to allow the viewer to think of their own. She has exhibited with the Savannah College of Art and Design, Thomas Deans Fine Art, Site: Brooklynn, MINT, and Besharat Gallery. Above all, she hopes you are staying safe, and caring for the most vulnerable in your own community.
