Atlanta native, Caroline Bullock creates mixed media abstract works whose primary inspiration is the human relationship with the natural world.

She uses cyanotype as the physical backdrop of her work because this photographic process serves as a direct marker of place in time. The final works are a juxtaposition between controlled photographic moments and non-linear unpredictable painting. Bullock received a BFA in Drawing and Painting from Georgia State University. Her work is included in multiple private and corporate collections worldwide.

"I am human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me." -Terence. Art does not show people what to do, yet engaging with a good work of art can connect us to our senses, body, and mind. It can make the world felt. And this feeling may spur thinking, engagement, and even action. I want my art to do just that, touch emotions and provoke thought and conversation. On the whole my work leans toward social/ political commentary. I am concerned with the human condition is all aspects. I believe that one of the major responsibilities of artists is to help people not only get to know and understand something with their minds but also to feel it emotionally and physically. This piece is of someone that many may pass on the street with little to no notice. I hope to cause folks to pause for a moment and acknowledge our mutual humanity.

Form and structure collide with chaos in these works by Stacie Rose. Gestural brush strokes interrupt clean lines and geometric forms to bring discord to a structured composition. Combining painting, screen printing and mark making techniques, a dialogue between controlled mediums and spontaneous expression ensues. Variant spatial planes and textures exemplify non-linear time space events. She strives to render the wonder that lives in the unexpected, the renewal that follows in the path of destruction, and the drive to manipulate the past, present and future. Rose has lived and worked in Atlanta since 2008. Her work is included in numerous corporate and private collections. Recent projects include murals and large scale paintings in CODA Tech Square, and MARTA's Arts Center Station. Stacie earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and is a Hambidge Fellow.

Fire Diary: Ruthie, 2019
Acrylic on paper
6 x 6 inches, 9.5 x 9.5 inches

Courtesy of Toshkova Fine Art Advsiory. Schreiber's works on paper are intended to appear light-hearted at first glance, but often have disturbing undertones. Her recent preoccupations include the wildland-urban interface, loss and regeneration, and crowds. In addition to the Hambidge Center, she has completed residencies at the McColl Center, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and Goodyear Arts; she will soon be in residence at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Born in Baltimore, Schreiber attended ACA and received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. She currently lives in Charlotte NC. Schreiber's work is filled with animals, which sometimes serve as stand-ins for humans. In particular, she identifies with small wild ones-adorable, understood by few, and ultimately alone in a complex, fast-moving world.

You, 2021
Oil on canvas

Courtesy of the artist.

I studied Fine Art and Design at the UGA. My work is influenced by a variety of interests including: color interaction, minimalism, typography, landscape, social injustice and climate change. This donated painting is part of my 'Narrative' series where the oil paint is applied in my handwriting. The overlapping words may beg deciphering, but cryptography is not the goal. Just as notes appear to dance on the staff line, the words make a statement beyond their literal meaning. The kinetic energy of the handwritten word, taking a corporeal shape and status, conjures a new interpretation. I have attended eight artists' residencies, including Hambidge. I have exhibited in seven solo exhibitions and dozens of group shows. My paintings are prominently displayed in fine homes and corporate collections around the country and have appeared in many national publications.

Stumberg is a muralist, painter and arts advocate. Her work honors the human experience through abstracted portraiture and symbolism.

Stumberg's work has been awarded numerous grants; public commissions of her work are currently located in Suwanee, Norcross, Peoplestown and Hapeville; other projects in the public realm can also be found in the metro area. Stumberg is one of two local artists to receive a 2017 Emerging Artist Award from the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs. She is a Hambidge Fellow, and represented by dk Gallery.

With an interest in the overlooked and mundane, Susan Winton has shown work both locally and nationally.

She has been nominated for a Forward Arts Foundation award, has served as a university visiting artist, and is presently an instructor for the city of Atlanta's Chastain Art Center. The work presented here is from a series of paintings, drawings and prints influenced by the weathered subtleties and palette of urban walls and a continuation of her interest in errant marks as a moment in time, instantly relegated to history, altered by age and likely to be obscured but the whims of others.

My work is a study and practice of the exploration of the relationship between the sacred and the mundane. I am interested in rethinking repetition and how discipline as devotion can transform everyday ordinary activities into meaningful ritual. I investigate these themes through a movement meditation practice using Japanese ink on paper. The practice is a meditation in motion, a prayer on the page. Collectors of my work on paper, scroll series and handbound books are available at my storeXstudiO gallery in Buckhead, Bella Cucina. I am honored to be a Hambidge Fellow.
