ARTISTS

Bill Amundson
A Denver based artist who works in the "Suburban Regionalist" mode, a style devoted to capturing and celebrating the true American scene rather than the idealized version so often pictured in the art of our time. His work reflects an interest in the contemporary landscape, particularly as reflected through such distinct American staples as the subdivision, the chain restaurant, retail franchises, interstate travel, SUV's and the ubiquitous cell phone.

Kate Aspinall
Finding a tension between the beauty of composition and the play between forms, many of Kates' drawings act as collages. She tries to recombine elements in a way that divorces them from their original definition in the real world and forces them to adopt new roles that are formed purely by their shape and evocation within the composition. This technique generates vital tension as the mind rapidly reinvents, a tension that breathes life into still images.

Michelle Barnes
Michelle Barnes has won numerous awards for her illustrations in books, magazines, and newspapers. She taught at both the Schools of Visual Arts and Parsons in New York City, as well as at the Art Center College of Design in California. Her projects include an illustrated book with a CD of her original music and painting 225 individual pieces for an interactive CD of the Bible.
