Ms. Corning began working working in clay in the late 1960s in Manhattan.  She moved to California, and has a studio there where she produces both sculptural and functional forms. The human figure emerged as a major theme some years ago. She explores scale as she slowly builds each piece, some are miniature, some massive. She likes to think of her work as going out into the world, encouraging peaceful contemplation. Her work is featured in important private collections and museums throughout the country.  Click here to view more of Alice Corning's work.

Jennifer de la Cruz is a painter, printmaker and musical performer based in Seattle. Her collage paintings are detailed ethereal works which depict her interest in "perceptions of identity and the potential for transformation", as well as studying "the long shadow cast by one's cultural heritage..". She describes her works as visual poems, and they are indeed mesmerizing, pulling viewers into her world of elaborate imagery and color.

Kathryn Trigg, with a background in painting, textile design and printmaking, has created a new body of work titled "Structure".  In this series she explores simple architectural elements, windows and building shapes, and gives each work a densely textured surface. She layers rice papers with rich backgrounds of collage, monotype and woodblock prints.  The resulting fields of color and shape are spontaneous, contemporary and bold.
