Howard Webb

I paint in order to understand without explaining in words. Although words can suggest images it is the images not the explanation I am after. I work to bring the images to the surface as well as awaken to the images already on the surface. Inevitably I usually see figurative images, even in landscapes. Most of all I relish a work which offers a meaningful sense of mystery to the viewer, suggesting one thing on Monday and something new on Friday.

Double Exposure - Photography

"Being the reactionary that I am, I tend to be fairly simplistic in my set up, and allow things to go they're own way - then capture a moment in time that's unique. "

Daniel Mastera - Painter

All artists are lazy pigs who just want to do only what they like and take advantage of all the foolish people who pay money for their stupid shit.

Joe Sikora - Painter

Marjorie O'Brill - Artist

No longer in the building.

Charles Reese

“First and foremost, I am a colorist. Along with color, keys to my artwork are balance, composition, line and movement. I am a painter by training, inclination and choice. My desire is to create and develop new images, which have an element of beauty, movement and mystery, creating emotional impact that viewers can enjoy and appreciate.”

“The story behind my artwork is centered on the challenge: intellectually, physically and emotionally, to develop a setting or a composition that incorporates line, form and color to present an image of movement, rhythm and mystery.”

Kevin Lahvic - Artist

I"Ask a class of first graders if there are any artists in the room and they will always raise their hands. My hand 's still up."

Bern - Painter

I create these images as painted expressions of patterned organic energy. Blending the subconscious and sacred geometry into unfolding symbolic harmony. Inspired by the symmetry of nature

Kevin Moeller - Painter

The need for expression, the basic creative urge, is there inside all of us. This urge emerges in many diverse forms of art.
Art has been called the "language of the soul" and perhaps, this is the best that can be said about it.
For the painter, his voice takes the form of visual images, reflecting colors and shapes that speak to the viewer.
To hear the painters voice just open your eyes.

Jeffery Reid - Painter

The paintings are a representation of the coming end or beginning of the new world. Initially, the purpose of the nude women is to seduce ones curiosity, but they are actually angels at war or preparing for war. The shaped canvases are decorative sculpture additives meant to enhance the individuality and inventiveness of the art. As the end nears and wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, floods, and pestilence occur on earth more frequently, I hope my work directs ones understanding of these signs of the end which will come with fire.

Heidi Dietrich - Painter

Trying to stay neutral

Byron Gin - Painter

I find my inspiration in the simple and the ordinary: a coffee cup, a coat hanger, a man walking down the street. People and things easily overlooked, yet all deserving of a second glance. While my work is representational, there is a hint of abstraction, most evident in the backgrounds of my paintings. Spare and ambiguous, they are often simple fields of color and texture, sometimes suggestive of planes and surfaces, always inviting interpretation as to mood or narrative.

Chris Bernacchi - Photographer

Chris has been in the building for a number of years and has extensive work that he's compiling into a book. Some of it is of this building and the neighborhood so pay attention you might be there in a picture or two.
He has his personal website here if you want to see more of it. I posted this quote for him because he would appreciate it.

Swearengen: Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Bernard Colbret - Photographer

Emergence, energy, motion, and emotion, implied in a gesture, are frozen in time.
Skillful execution of composition, setting, styling, lighting, and careful attention to detail, combine to make every Bernard Colbert image dynamic, contemporary, and unforgettable.
