    Visual Artist: Printmaking
    I look to my gardens for endless and awesome inspiration. These images are expressed through an Intaglio printmaking technique called Mezzotint. My process begins with creating a rough surface across a copper plate. Using drawing tools (burnishers & scrapers), the plate is hand carved to reveal a particular image. The plate is inked, wiped and passed through a press transferring the ink onto a piece of German Etching paper. Color inks are applied by hand before each run of the press. The mezzotint technique proves to be rewarding as well as challenging. Manipulating a plate to bring an idea to surface is a completely fulfilling and creative artistic experience. I have  BFA in Printmaking from Indiana University. and have worked under master printers Brian Jones, Carol Wax, and Rosalie Bernardi.

    Visual Artist: Glass
    Exhilarated by the demands of the process, Al enjoys meeting the challenges of timing and intuition required to manage fluid hot glass. In the studio, he states, “it’s important to stay in the moment, open to the ever-present opportunity to defy gravity.” Al prefers the “glass cowboy” tradition of design and production by a single maker. Form is his primary consideration; he often works with clear glass, focusing on surface reflections and interior views to create sculptural, functional pieces. The artist states: My first experience with glass was working with glaze formulas for ceramics, experimenting with canes and shards in handle reservoirs and on platters. In 1981, in the hot glass studio at St. Cloud State University, a second gather of glass found its way to the floor, puddling into a foot as I blew out the cup of my first goblet. Glass fever took over through the following years, looking out over the Mississippi River during midnight to 4am blow-times at the University of Minnesota, where I received a BFA in 1986. I served as a studio apprentice in Boulder, CO and in 1989, I moved to Whidbey Island, WA where over the next decade I met some of the world’s most incredible glassblowers, chaired the Artist’s Co-op and built my own studio. After returning to Minnesota, I started working at Foci-Minnesota Center for Glass Arts, where I just keep smilin’ no matter how much my dad still says I should quit blowing glass and get a real job.

    Han Huisman
    Visual Artist: Mixed Media; Visual Artist: Painting
    I am a self taught artist. I started studying at the University of Amsterdam (Holland) and got a PhD in Biological Sciences. I have been working for the last 12 years as a neuroscientist in the USA. I started painting and sculpturing a few years ago. The lack of skill especially in figurative work was sometimes frustrating, but now being self-taught gives me more freedom. I function the best with structured chaos by finding the borders of what you can still call art. Visiting galleries and museums helps me to focus on my work; however, my favorite is the art that comes from nowhere. There are too many artists such as Rauschenberg, Kooning, Mondriaan, Warhol, Armando and many, many others, that have inspired me. Art movements such as: ‘die Neue Wilde’, COBRA, pop-art, DADA (neo-DADA) and Abstract Expressionism in general are very inspiring to me.

    Phyllis Hunter
    Visual Artist: Jewelry; Visual Artist: Painting
    Quality – Unique – Timeless These are all words that describe the works of Phyllis Hunter.  She has been making jewelry for more than 15 years, beginning by stringing beads and advancing to using sterling silver wire to wrap and combine the beads.  This opened a whole new avenue of creativity for her.  From there she started to use natural stones, pearls and crystals to give texture and depth to her pieces. After her daughter introduced her to fine silver clay, Phyllis began taking classes and experimenting with the clay.  She was hooked.  Since then, she continues to experiment with this medium and is inspired by its artistic qualities. The silver clay can be formed into almost any shape – solid, hollow, or lacey – and can be combined with beads, glass and cubic zirconium.  These qualities fascinate Phyllis and allow her to make the one of a kind pieces she so loves and for which she is known.
