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

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

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

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.

Jaime Curry

My name is Jaime Curry, and I am from Nicholasville, KY. I have been creating art my whole life. I started drawing and painting at a very young age, and it has been my passion ever since. I love creating abstract, impressionist, and pop art styles. I recently exhibited my abstract painting, "Walking After Midnight," in the Team Kentucky Gallery.

James Ellenberger

James Matthew Ellenberger is a poet and abstract artist. He was born and raised in a small town in western Pennsylvania, where he spent much of his time wandering around in the woods—until the congenital disorders in his hips and ankles (and the surgeries that followed) made doing so all but impossible. He started to sculpt at 8 in order to pass the time, eventually making claymation videos on his Gameboy Camera (which he won in a Surge twist-off contest). As he got older, he traded in the clay for a blank page, which transmuted, somehow, into a PhD in Creative Writing many years later. Once he started writing poems, his interest in visual art diminished almost entirely. Oh, he started drinking at some point, which turned into 12 years of alcoholism. When he got sober in 2018, he started sculpting again as a way to pass the seemingly endless days in early sobriety. He got upset with the whole situation one night and broke a pen, spilling the ink on the page, which led to his interest in painting. What started as a moment of frustration turned into an obsession, and he’s poured thousands of hours into painting since. While he has extensive academic training when it comes to writing, he’s entirely self-taught as a visual artist, using trial-and-error, not tutorials or classes, to hone his craft. His poetry has been published extensively, in journals such as Copper Nickel, Third Coast, and New South, and his paintings can be found at Art House Kentucky gallery. He teaches at Eastern Kentucky University and lives in Richmond, Kentucky with a badass potter and a very little black cat. He’s @chromataforge on Instagram. Feel free to drop him a line.

Kim Dixon

Hi, I'm Kim! I'm a quilter, embroiderer, and sketch artist.

Living in Lexington, KY for the past 10 years, I've lived a relatively quiet life with my husband and two children. It's a life that has afforded me time to explore my creativity and expand my artistic abilities.

The majority of my work comes from my experiences as an African American woman, my training in historical research, and my innate love for drawing and sewing. Since I was old enough to pick up a pencil I've drawn! Whether inspiration came from the world around me or purely from my imagination it was the easiest form of expression. My skills with sewing came from the early teachings of my beloved Aunt Hat. She taught me how to sew by hand and gave me my first sewing machine before she passed away.

My professional life as an archivist took a detour when my husband and I moved to Kentucky at a time when it was difficult to find employment; however, Kentucky's love and celebration for its own history gave me something invaluable. It reinforced my interests in historical research and as such, the role African Americans played in the narrative of our country. The state's rich heritage in folk art and crafting (i.e. quilting) was the perfect marriage for me to craft the stories I wished to tell.

Linda Colwell

"I am from Louisville and live in Lexington. My previous career was as an Inorganic Chemist for the Public Health Lab in Frankfort. I’ve crocheted for about 45 years, being taught by my grandmother and father. With them being gone now, it reminds me of them and keeps me still connected to them. I enjoy watching many artists on YouTube, in many different mediums. They inspire me in many ways to use different techniques and to make my art my own."

Mabel Zaglul

I am a Kentucky artist, born and raised in Argentina, residing for the last 23 years in Lexington, KY.

I have always been passionate for the arts but was able to develop it further in the last ten years. I am

self-taught in the arts. I currently enjoy working with alcohol inks on canvas, acrylic paint, acrylic mediums, 

and in the fiber arts. I feel identified with the contemporary abstract art. My style is contemporary, abstract

and modern. When I create art, I'm bringing into my work life experience from extensive travel throughout 

different countries and cultures. The color palette I choose to work in, is one that expresses joy. I love vibrant

 colors for how lively they feel, their positive energy, and the intense emotion they convey.

A Kentucky native, I left for New York City as soon as I could after finishing college. In New York I met lots of artists (the art world was small then), and began painting seriously. I’d always made drawings and painted whenever my mother let me use her oil colors. But now I studied life drawing and learned from other artists — how to stretch a canvas, for example. I lived on the Lower East Side in Manhattan, moving to cheaper and cheaper apartments so I didn't have to make much money and I’d have more time to paint. Day jobs ranged from social work to dog walking. Minimalism was big then, and I painted hard-edge stripe paintings in acrylic. When friends began moving to California, I visited and was astounded by the natural beauty. After spending a summer in the Golden State, when I returned to the Lower East Side it all looked so grim. I couldn’t face another New York winter, so I moved to San Francisco. I rented a small studio in the Mission district, found a job sewing leather clothes, and resumed painting. My work changed dramatically in the new environment, to stained canvases in bright colors. Later, living in a downtown loft, I developed an abstract image derived from tribal weavings, landscapes and seascapes, with poured paint and drawn lines.

After marrying my husband, also a painter, we moved to Pacifica, across the street from the beach. My studio was a small sun porch overlooking the waves. I showed my work at Open Studios and alternative spaces, and was with a San Francisco gallery for several years.

When we were able to buy a small house, we moved to Benicia, on a steep hill with views of the Bay. Benicia is regarded as something of an “artists’ colony” due to its workspaces in recycled military buildings, and the presence of sculptors Robert Arneson and Manuel Neri. Judy Chicago produced her “Dinner Party” in a huge studio there. Many other artists were attracted to Benicia for the space and proximity to San Francisco. We soon built a light-filled studio in our backyard. To make a living, I began writing for the local newspaper and eventually freelanced writing scripts for museum audio tours.

After my husband died in 2019, I moved to Lexington where my brother and sister live. Now I’m a resident of the Artists’ Village. My house incorporates a studio that looks out on the central Green and its beautiful trees. Already, I’m responding to my changed environment—the colors, clouds and thunderstorms—translated into abstractions.

Nia Rich

“My name is Nia Rich, I am a 27 year old multi-media artist from Kentucky. I work primarily with acrylic, charcoal, graphite, re-purposed materials, and objects foraged out in nature. I create ethereal yet contemplative works that oscillate between light and dark but sometimes I just make tiny faux desserts from clay.

I graduated with a BA in Communication Design in 2019 and my first group exhibition was in 2021 at Pyramid Hill’s “Out of the Darkness” show. I worked an upcycled fashion pop-up shop in Yellow Springs, OH throughout 2022. My jewelry was also shown as a part of the Fishbone Gallery: “Rebirth is Inevitable” spring fashion show in 2023 with a group of other designers from Cincinnati. Most recently in 2024 my work is shown at Revelry Gallery in Louisville for the “Tiny Art Big Heart” Valentines Day group exhibition.”
