Tony Casper PhotographyArtist: Tony Casper Photography
The two biggest influences in my life as an artist were Andrew Wyeth and Ansel Adams. Additionally, I grew up in Wisconsin, near the shores of Lake Michigan, and it was there that I grew to love nature, which has become a big part of my art. My passion is creating evocative art forms, which combine human presence with nature’s mystery and elegant simplicity.

Kjoia JewelryArtist: Kjoia Jewelry
Kjoia Jewelry represents my art, my pride and my joy. Phonetically “k-joy-ah” is a Brazilian expression for “what beauty.” Joia is also the Portuguese word for jewelry. I express my joy and love of beauty by creating one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings designed to mesmerize, intrigue and draw the eye. Using rare vintage glass beads and charms collected from all over the world, I weave together works of art spun with gorgeous color and depth.

Concepts in MetalArtist: Concepts in Metal
My work has gone through a lot of changes over the last 28 years. I started with all sterling silver, lots of rings and then added some gold. I then switched over to all gold, concentrating on rings with asymmetrical stones, and a large line of earrings. Then after many years of being primarily self-taught, I went to Taos New Mexico and took a class from Harold O’Connor. One thing he said to me was that I was no longer a metalsmith but had become a wax worker. (All my rings were made using the lost wax casting method where they are carved out of wax first). I took offense until I realized that he was right. I was spending more time working in wax than metal.

So Harold opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me when he taught me to fuse 24k gold (pure gold) to sterling silver using a mouth-held blowtorch. I went back to being a metalsmith. I’ve taken what I learned there and from subsequent classes from other people, and totally changed my work. It’s much harder, but since 1988, I’ve concentrated on my mixed metal jewelry, which I really love. It’s the most satisfying!

Aida SchneiderArtist: Aida Schneider
My method is direct in approach (no sketching), and in application (color directly onto painting surface without brush or palette). By gestural strokes and marks, I wish to impart the freedom and sense of well-being that occur when I paint.

While the allusions and commentary in my work relate to present day culture and its rapid changes, the symbols I usually employ hearken to my background growing up in an ancient land.
