Beauty is everywhere. Sometimes it’s readily apparent, but often a change in perspective reveals hidden beauty. In 2012, inspired by the intriguing scenery of the Appalachian Mountains, I began discovering, capturing, and sharing that beauty from a fresh point of view. Whether I’m traveling or just at home in the mountains, I look for both overt and overlooked gems to present in a compelling way.
All of my photographs are individually processed so that various aspects of the image, along with the printing medium and scale, combine to create a work of art that captivates — drawing the viewer in to linger on the details.
My Signature Series prints are made of the highest quality materials and finishes. They thrive in both natural and artificial light, while varying conditions further amplify their dynamic nature. These qualities help achieve my vision — turning overlooked elements into stunning centerpieces and fleeting moments of beauty into enduring art.
Aesha N'Dao
Basket Maker, Louisville
We often look at a basket in developed countries like the United States and only see utility. These baskets, handcrafted in Africa, are seen as equal parts utility and craftsmanship. The fingers of weavers move nimbly across strands of sweetgrass and banana leaves, threading together durable walls and graceful designs in every basket. The women who weave these baskets are the epitome of grace and diligence for such basket weaving is a beloved artisanal tradition.
Ann Klem
Glass Artist, Louisville
Inspired by science fiction, black holes and nature’s processes, my creations start with an idea and a design. Then comes the cut, cast, fold, grind, polish. They give me a chance to explore the fluid forms of glass and how colors react with each other.
Often beginning by creating the “block of glass” either in the kiln or by laminating pieces together, I cold-work the block to create the final sculpture. Other pieces are created by casting the glass in the kiln and allowing the glass to flow into a plaster mold. Folding glass is accomplished with multiple kiln firings and sandblastings to a single sheet of glass.
I admit to three addictions: glass, color, and ice cream. I’m also a tool junkie. In addition to the kilns, I employ a variety of grinding and cutting tools that use air and electric power and, of course, water. While making lots of sludge, beautiful sparkling and matte finish creations emerge.
Anna McMurry
Potter, Richmon
Anna is an Instructional Designer and potter. She grew up in the shadow of the Smoky Mountains in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is a self-taught artist, joining a local potters' co-op in Cincinnati during the height of the pandemic as a way to get out of the house while still socially distancing. It was an instant connection, no art ever resonating as deeply as wheel-throwing does for Anna. In 2021, Anna was gifted her prize possession by her father-in-law, a professional-grade wheel. She was able to set up her first studio in a dim and drafty garage, full of spiders, mold, and the occasional doormouse She had never been happier. Today, she resides in Richmond, KY with her partner, a whip-smart poet and watercolor artist, and her sweet, little (15lb) velcro cat named The Beekus (pictured in her headshot). Now with an indoor and heated studio, she hopes to transition into being a full-time ceramic artist, expanding her work beyond wheel-thrown functional ware to more playful forms and figurative sculpting. Her art can be found at ArtHouse KY Gallery. You can follow her on Onstagram at @jarflypottery.
