 | Artist: Eaton Studios, Inc. - Kathleen Eaton
Kathleen Eaton is a Chicago area artist whose work is an interpretation of city and suburban environments. Her paintings reflect a fascination with architectural spaces and the unexpected solitude or human activities that occur within them. From this interest her work has developed to explore the relations between imagination and reality in an urban environment.
Her paintings are begun with an idea of a place, real or imaginary, then proceeded by a series of sketches to a full-sized drawing, and the final oil painting is done from this. The technique she uses involves building up areas of color through the application of many thin layers of transparent paint.

 | Artist: James Wilbat Glass
Wilbat creates his colorful art works in a series of steps. He first produces a palette to choose from by blowing large thin plates of individual colors consisting of a layer of colored glass, a layer of white glass, and two surrounding layers of clear glass. These plates must be cooled overnight before they can become part of the actual piece he is making. He next prepares the details for his pieces, which may include hollow cane, thin lines of colored glass and his signature twisty shapes, formed by fusing and twisting two strands of hot colored glass.

 | Artist: Kathleen Field
Having been raised by a strict, first-generation American mother and taught by the nuns, I obeyed every rule - as I did in my quilting – making over two thousand traditionally pieced quilts with a contemporary flavor from 1985 to 1993. A significant departure occurred in 1993 – I began a series of chair quilts - all styles of chairs, comprised of commercial fabrics on hand-dyed backgrounds. Many great painters of the past and present incorporate chairs in their work and it was this painterly quality that I wanted to evoke in fabric. In 1996, the College of Lake County commissioned me to make a large triptych (7'x21') of chairs for their new campus.

 | Artist: Kuketa
Kuketa is the nickname for designer Maria Cicarelli. Graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she has been designing since the age of five when her aunt gave her a needle and thread to keep her busy while she sewed garments for her clientele in Buenos Aires. Since then, her love of textiles, art, and nature has continued to inspire the creative style and flair of these one-of-a-kind pieces.
The collections focus on particular design elements, reflecting the texture and qualities of the season, from botanical flora to northern roaming animals to organic shapes. The silk-screened images are hand drawn and transferred onto fabric, linen, cotton and suede. The vintage fabrics are hand picked from antique markets around the world and selectively coordinated to create unique recycled pieces.

 | Artist: Lynn Krause Pastels
I am an artist living and working in Woodstock, IL whose preferred medium is pastel. My art education began at the Chicago Academy of Fine Art. I began my career as a commercial artist in a studio in Chicago and left the commercial world in 1966. In 1967, I began exhibiting at art festivals where I continue to show my pastels to this day.
I work on several types of paper–colored sanded paper or Arches black cover stock. Each piece begins with hard pastels to establish the lights and darks, then continue with softer pastels to completion.
