Allison Richter
I've always been drawn to fleeting moments in nature—the glow of sunlight on feathers, the quiet pause before flight, the way colors shift at dusk. My oil paintings and color pencil work bring these moments to life, focusing on birds and wildlife with rich detail. Each piece tells a story of movement, stillness, and connection. As a member of Oil Painters of America, I was honored with Honorable Mention in the 2024 OPA Fall Showcase. My work has been exhibited across the U.S. and is held in private collections.

Brian Sesack
Through photography, I have found a medium for my artistic self-expression and the transformation from looking to seeing. I find myself interpreting my environment through the documentation of tone, density, and form to create a harmonious pattern that brings the viewer into the subject. I have succeeded if the image has a voice and speaks to the viewer. I have also discovered over time that as crucial as it is to produce a beautiful photograph, the process or the state of being creative provides the joyfulness of being an artist.

Gregg Silvas
Jim Soppelsa
In my teenage years I began to show potential as an artist. Being one of my strengths as a student I decided at an early age to make art my vocation. I went on to attend The Cooper School of Art in Cleveland OH. There I had studio courses in both commercial and fine art. While attending Cooper I was an apprentice at a commercial art studio and after graduating with a major in Communication Design I went to work in the commercial field. At the same time, I continued to work on my own studio / fine art, mostly painting and drawing. Primarily working in series within a few limiting parameters. What interests me is the freedom I find in systems. An abstract approach to composition has been of interest to me for as long as I can remember.
