Artist: Jason Fricke
I work with the direct, minimalist style that evolved while drawing dancers and musicians during performances. Working rapidly, I focus on capturing the vitality and the essence of the subject. A few lines can often speak with a unique eloquence and inspire the viewer to see things anew.

Born, attracted to shiny objects, soon discovered jewelry. After studying Fiber Techniques in Metal with Arline Fisch, Sharon developed her own technique; fabricated, precious-metal "frames", woven with beads on silk, or pearls on wire. She exhibits her work nationally at juried art shows.

 | Artist: West Rock Art Glass
I am a glass artist and have been blowing glass for 30 years. I believe I am the only glass artist in the country, perhaps in the world, who has devoted his full artistic efforts into making this object. My bottles, although small in scale, make a grand statement.
I see perfume bottles as small, elegant treasures; made to be turned, touched, and relished. I strive to make the form organic, smooth, and familiar, with very few sharp angles. The lip is simple and unobtrusive. The interior decoration adds life, movement, and dimension to the piece.

 | Artist: Bob Gent Glassworks
After earning my BFA in Graphic Design and spending many years working for other artists, I designed and built my own studio. This studio is a small shop with the capacity to melt one hundred pounds of crystal at a time and working capability for a twelve by twenty-four inch piece, though most work is on a smaller scale.
My style employs tightly controlled, bright colors, simple shapes and a playful design sense. Much of my work is enhanced by the decorations which start out as long rods of color (or canes) that I make from imported glass.
