In Fiona's words "Research for my work has developed from travel and the experience of living in different places, both nationally and internationally. The transition from one location to another has led me to explore the physical and psychological development of memory and the concept of place. A major component in my investigations is how lived experience is central to the subject of place. As Lucy Lippard states in her book, The Lure of the Local, the definition of a place cannot be judged solely on the beauty of its location. It is space that defines a landscape, but it is space combined with memory that defines a place." |

In Amanda's own words"My favorite thing in the world to do is to learn. So I really loved school. My undergraduate education was really influential. I dabbled in a variety of media and really found my strongest interests in painting and printmaking. I was also very interested in classes outside of the art department. I took classes like Survey of Fossilized Primates, Survey of Living Primates, Archeology, Human Evolution, and Conservation. I have a strong interest in the sciences and in the environment, so I have always felt it important to incorporate these into my artwork..." |

John's primary interest is painting people in situations, whether it be a beautiful woman or old men in a bar, and although John does take the occasional commission (and once exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters), he prefers to choose his own models ,locations and compositions and weave his own narrative both real and imagined around the characters in his pictures..." |
