 Alisha Wormsley |
 Recent 2007-2008 |
In her own words "Over the past ten years, I have worked diversely through the medium of photography. It is empowering to grow into a skilled technician, but there are some things I cannot express with one medium alone. As a commercial photographer of others’ art forms, including music, dance, theater and film, the utility of commercial work has compromised the sense of completion and connection I experience through my own artwork. It can be exhausting to work with the primary goal of communicating someone else’s idea. Photomontage is, for me, a retelling – through it, I can deconstruct the ‘real’ image and adapt it to a conceptual image." |
 Chester Simpson |
 Chester Simpson's Gallery |
Chester Simpson grew up in Roanoke, Virginia in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains and hitchhiked across country in 1975 to accept a scholarship at the San Francisco Institute of Art, to study photography. In San Francisco, he met two of the major influences on his life, legendary master photographer Ansel Adams, founder of the Institute's photography department, and Jim Marshall, the famous rock-n-roll photographer. While attending school, he assisted photographers to learn the business side of photography and started hanging out and taking photographs in punk rock clubs at night. Rolling Stone magazine published his first picture while he was still in Art School, which kicked off his career as a rock-n-roll photographer shooting for MTV, Warner Bros, MCA, AM, Capitol, CBS, and Chrysalis Record companies. |
 Joshua Brehse |
 Squares |
Joshua holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont college and a BFA from Boston University. His work has been shown extensively in group and solo Exhibits. |
 Ryan Roth |
 Drawings |
Ryan Roth currently lives and works in New York. In his own words "Choice of a career is necessarily a fateful process, because in choosing an occupation, we also select an identity and a way of life. My experiences of having numerous jobs, hearing accounts from people in the workforce, and reading reports on various companies are central to my artistic practice. From the outset I was concerned with a paradoxical aesthetic that juxtaposes beauty and revulsion with the relentless pursuit of business success. Within this context I stress the form and shape of my subjects to emphasize their relationship to career aspirations or lack thereof." |

 Paul Mardikian |
 Totems |
In Paul's words "My artwork is probably the result of a wide combination of influences including (but not exclusively) my work on shipwrecks over the last 20 yrs. It is also a blend of cultures and encounters with splendid individuals and places. My heart is filled with European, African, Asian, Australasian and American wonders. Most of my early work is inspired by Lascaux and rock art in general. Not really for the representational power of the animals more for their abstract beauty and the miracle for their preservation to present time. This preservation miracle after some 18,000 years is the result of a miraculous combination between the human hand and the mineral substrate. The human being behind the trace is long gone but the trace remains. This thought inspires and fuels all my work." |
