John Anfin
I know the exact moment I became an artist. My second grade teacher, Mavis Lester, of McHarg Elementary School in Radford, VA, gave everyone in my class the "draw the state bird and flower" assignment.

Later, when she came to my desk, she put her hand on my shoulder and said, "John, you're an artist"; and I believed her.

Morgan Colebrook
The fall of light at a given moment accentuates the inherent beauty of the simplest forms with shadow and highlight, transforming them from ordinary to extraordinary, becoming a dramatic event of light, a lavish array of tactile details, form, and color. In a snap of indifference, however, they can retreat from that magical summit to an uneventful ordinariness. My paintings embrace the significance of an ordinary thing in an extraordinary moment.

Brian Counihan
Brian Counihan is an Irish artist with 20 years of exhibition experience both as an artist and curator in places as diverse as Ireland, Italy, Chicago and Virginia. A founding faculty member of Community High, Counihan has developed educational programs in conjunction with cultural and arts organizations including the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, and is the director of the fledgling Marginal Arts Festival, Roanoke's carnival of diverse and valid culture.

His paintings and drawings can be very pompously described as "rhythmic improvisational compositions and poetic conflations of cultural iconography, literary epochs and anthropological ephemera that form a visually cacophonic collision of mixed metaphors," or more simply as --abstract works with hints of stories.

My primary source of expression is realism, with graphite and charcoal. However, I try not to limit myself to one medium so I experiment with color pencils, oils, watercolor and automotive airbrushing as well. I have drawn many old world objects, portraits, nature scenes and Native American pieces for clients in various parts of the US. I enjoy the outdoors and the many wonders that God has created.

Martha Dillard
Whether it be the New River or the branch of Sinking Creek that flows below our home, fog on the mountain, the glory of spring from the top of the meadow, a sunset over the tops of distant trees, an old house, or a favorite view down a road, I am enchanted by it. The last ten years of living in the middle of Sinking Creek Valley in Craig County have given me the opportunity to be wrapped in this mountain beauty and to remember it with paints and canvas.

Educated at Austin College (B.A.) and Virginia Tech (B.A.), Dillard has studied at workshops with Wayne Thiebauld, Darby Bannard, and Susan Shatter and at Arrowmont and Penland Schools of Art and Craft. Her work is in public and private collections throughout the US and in Britain and Germany. Dillard's studio is on the farm where she lives with her husband in the Sinking Creek Valley of Craig County, Virginia.

My passion is to paint this generation to share with the generations to come and to seize what is often held in the "minds eye" so as not to be lost forever." Patsy Arrington Dorsett

Julie Felton
I graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. I work full time as an Art Director for an advertising agency, but I have a passion for fine arts. In my free time I work with various mediums including pastels, oil and acrylic paint, colored pencil, charcoal, pen & ink, and graphic software to create paintings and drawings. I love studying the paintings of the Baroque masters but my subject matter ranges from still life to children’s portraits. However, my favorite subject is undoubtedly animals – especially endangered species. I absolutely love working on artwork of animals and as an active volunteer at Mill Mountain Zoo, I try to take as many photos of the zoo animals for reference as possible. I hope to become increasingly active in both the conservation of these magnificent creatures as well as capturing their beauty in my artwork.

My art is my "musical"¯ composition and I've been "composing" most of my life. I was guided early by my grandmother, using many kinds of materials, textures and colors to "compose"¯ a scenic diorama. I have stitched in several media since I was 10 years old. Using thread, fibers and beads, my hands express what I hear in music or see outside my studio window, thus my composition.

Chico Harkrader
A canvas, sculpture, or the time line of new media presents a stage for me to examine the visually driven attributes of light, perspective, color, form, and movement. Past experiences, present environment, imagination, and experimentation with mixed media allow me to echo my passions, peace, or pleasure. Creations from impressions encountered in urban, rural, or figurative life evolve abstractly. Innovative form and color are fashioned from the physical, mental, or spiritual.

Painting is the art of the heart. The forms of thoughts are amazing when done with the Rhythm of the hand and brush. Every painting is a novel with a past present and future. As you walk past them you notice something you hadn’t noticed quite before….they are telling stories….shhhhhh….listen.

I am happy to join these other artists and share with the world what makes us happy. I have been painting and drawing for over 17 years. And this is my first time sharing them with you. Please enjoy.

Christopher D. Jones
My initial background as an artist was in the commercial art realm. As an undergraduate at Roanoke College, I had focused more on photography and silkscreen prints. Following graduation I worked for a newspaper publication for a few years before turning to oils and watercolor. I have been honing my craft all my life, and exhibiting since 2007.

My current body of work is centered on memory, experience, space and place. The abstracted images are images and scenes from my youth growing up in Southwest Virginia. They are not meant to be literal depictions of place. They are plasticized, altered and arranged to heighten the emotion that I feel for these locations and events.

Shelley Koopman
I work primarily in pastel, a pure permanent pigment with a wonderful range of vibrant, unadulterated colors. Growing up along the beaches of Long Island, New York, and now living on a lake in Virginia, I paint landscapes that are reminiscent of my youth, as well as the beautiful lakes and farms of Southwest Virginia. I hope my artwork invokes feelings of peace and joy.

Gina Louthian-Stanley
Art can be created with the mind, or it can reflect the deepest emotion of the artist. My work encompasses both aspects. All of my paintings start with an idea, a direction, a purpose, but once engaged, the medium takes over, and it is the innermost emotion that emerges. Every painting is a reflection of my personal experience, my observations of life, and my concerns for the future of humanity and the changing landscape. My artistic output tends to run in series. Each series lasts a short while with merely a few paintings, pastel drawings, or prints. As the world around us is rapidly changing, so does my need to explore new statements and emotions.

Though I gravitate toward realism, I strive for my work to go beyond what is seen with natural eyes. I find myself painting stories into my images, however grand or subtle or simple. Sometimes the story isn't as easy to find, because it is told through the eyes or expressions of the subject in the painting.

I describe my creative medium as painting with paper. I use an altering process that releases the pigment from the glossy magazine paper as the base for my pigments.

Blake Prim
My name is Blake Prim. I have lived in Roanoke for two years. Recently moved from Carthage, North Carolina, I have come from a family of educators who are passionate about the arts. We live in a world that not only creates art but is made from art and my body of work revolves around giving back what has been given to me. I am captured by the simple beauty of nature and its miraculous ability to go unnoticed. Many never recognize its true value or care to gain insight into this remarkable world that has been given to us. We have the responsibility to be caretakers of the world around us. If we don't understand our world how can we possibly begin to take care of it? My art is my response to this equation. It's my way of examining our beautiful surrounding that we take for granted.

What an awesome medium to work with and what a thrill it is for me to teach it to all ages and abilities. Just to mention some of polymer clay's characteristics: it can be molded, painted, sanded, carved, woven, added to and re-baked, polished, extruded from a press, has the ability to mimic other materials, it is compatible with many other mediums and is baked at low temperatures- therefore no special kilns are needed. Many of the techniques used are drawn from other disciplines such as glass, jewelry, sculpture, architect, and ceramic works.

My interest in art started early. I was sick a lot as a child and to entertain me, my mother used to draw stories for me about her own childhood; that is probably where my interest in art began. I started drawing at an early age, often on walls and my mother's books (which is why my parents began supplying me with lots of paper). Originally, I wanted to be an illustrator-to tell stories through my art; and I think storytelling through art is still what I am after, even if the stories themselves are only in my own mind. I am fascinated by people and the lives I imagine for them, by abandoned dwellings and barns, and any landscapes that seem to have a story behind them. I work in acrylic, oil and watercolor and have several exhibits planned for 2009. I have studied with Peyton Klein, Vera Dickinson and Ann Glover.

David William Wertz
Wertz introduces tension into the medium through the use of fragmentary form. The result is a created space or 'platform to imagine on' wherein the viewer and artist meet in the conclusion of the piece. In grateful tones.

Making art is cathartic for me. Working in a visual medium allows me to communicate ideas and feelings that I would find difficult to express in words. I use a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional materials as symbolic elements in my work. The pieces are not always pretty, but contain an element of irony and humor intended to help us laugh at ourselves.

The average person, viewing art, responds to either color, subject matter or an emotional attachment. In some ways I attempt to meet one or more of these responses by the choices that I make, concerning my art.

Janet Wimmer
After retiring from teaching school for 30 years, I am now painting and teaching at home in my studio. The beauty of the surrounding valley inspires me. Color is my passion and many of my paintings are done on red backgrounds. My paintings are becoming a spiritual portrait of who I am as my journey through life continues.

Like a pebble dropped into a pond, the picture hanging on the wall can cause a joy that can spread out in ripples throughout your day. It has the potential to speak to your soul.

It has been my experience, that Art opens the door to creativity, compassion, and Spiritual perspective, as it concerns a wholeness and connectedness to all humanity. To create depth of form thru line, color and values, is a reawakening of a certain perspective that allows us to both "see", and be the object that is "seen".
