Anna David - Mixed Media
Born in Portland, ME, Anna Parker earned her BFA at Endicott College in Beverly, MA. While earning her undergraduate degree she interned with studio artist and professor Ric Haynes, the Peabody Essex Museum and the Society of Arts and Crafts. Originally, Anna studied studio painting before branching out into book art and collage in her final year of college. Recently, Anna has been exploring the use of antique photographs in a mixed media application to create intimate portraits of children isolated in space and time. Her collage work also uses images and representations of children as the focal point within visual stories of personal journey and experience. Anna has exhibited her work at the J. David Broudo Gallery in Beverly, MA and her work resides in private collections in Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Washington. She has been living in Seattle for the past four years and is a member of the local Book Arts Guild.
Mike DiPetrillo - Paintings

It is my hope that my paintings stink - or at least a viewer could imagine that contained within each one they have some type of smell. I want them to have sound, whirring and clicking of gears, swishing, and perhaps a few laser noises. I want my paintings to have stories that are not necessarily answerable without some laughter. More importantly, I want the viewer to come up with a story of their own because more often than not it is far more outlandish, interesting, and hilarious than my original intention could have dreamt of. The recent series is based on choosing stars in the sky that are of cultural or personal interest to me. Some of the stars are close to home and have stories that are told throughout human history. Other stars have no history, they are either too dim or distant to see with our own eyes or our knowledge of them too brief for us to have significant stories about them. The goal of the star paintings is to treat an almost unfathomably distant speck of light in the sky as a character that could sit and pose for a painting and I could help tell their story.

Erin Goodell -Mixed Media
These pieces are a combination of painting and other mixed media. The collages consist of pieces derived from a stockpile of souvenirs from my whole life including things saved from childhood or recently acquired items, as well as bits of trash, photos, magazine and newspaper clippings, and anything else that finds its way in. The faces painted on top or separately are usually in acrylic, mostly representing subject matter from within 1970's knitting magazines.
