H.M. Saffer
In 1981 Hm Saffer II began to study the art of Japanese brush painting, Sumi-e. He left for Japan in 1983 to study with Japanese masters, and there he met his wife, Hisayo. While in Japan, HM adapted his Sumi-e techniques by applying Western styles of painting. HM reentered the United States in 1994 and took residence in Upstate New York. His style of painting shifted from exclusively works on paper to include oils. He began melding his Oriental influences with his Western styles in order to create a new and different path towards interpersonal visual expression, and his current works are a reflection of this mélange.
Houston Llew
Houston Llew started his enameling journey in a modest garage in Atlanta, inspired by the challenges of the great recession. Under the guidance of master enamelist Zingaro, he developed his unique art form, Spiritiles. His creations, born from relentless experimentation and a simple 'ramen and beer' lifestyle, showcase his tenacity and innovative spirit. Characterized by uplifting themes and creative storytelling, Houston's work aims to bring hope and connection, making each piece more than just art – it's a narrative of resilience and inspiration.
Each Spiritile is meticulously handcrafted in Houston Llew's Atlanta studio. The process involves applying glass on metal with stencils and precise layering. Unique to Houston's technique is a single firing and rolling a pin post-firing to create light-enhancing crazing marks. These pieces defy traditional methods for a luminous effect. Versatile in display, Spiritiles can be hung, stand freely, and are durable enough for high humidity and sunlight, making them perfect for various settings.

Jaya Saxena
Jaya Saxena is a Marietta, GA based mixed media artist. Her work is characterized by bold color and texture.

Lynn Peace Marino
My name is Lynn Peace Marino and gourds are my canvas. When I was younger, I spent most of my time working as an RN and raising my 3 children with my husband so I didn’t have much time to explore my love for art. However, once I discovered gourds I was hooked! I have been working with for over 30 years and refer to them as the ugly ducklings in the plant. I am fortunate to be recognized in the fine art as well as gourd market.
The gourd ripens on the vine and it begins the drying process which can take up to 9 months. It hardens becomes dirty and moldy and looks ugly and useless.
When you begin cleaning the outer skin of this useless fruit its beauty begins to emerge and its unique patterns appear sharing its identity and secrets as it shares what it is to be.
This is when the creativity begins with a sketch on the gourd. I then use pyrography to burn the design so it is permanent. From there I carve, cut, paint, sculpt, varnish or coil my piece. From cleaning to completion can take 6-60 hours depending on the complexity of the piece.
Gourds come in all types and sizes and no two are alike. Ranging in length from a 1inch Tennessee spinner to a 5foot long handled dipper.
Although they have been around for thousands of years I work on newly harvested dried gourds from local as well as the thicker gourds grown on AZ. & CA. farms.
When you hold one of my gourd pieces in your hands, I hope it will speak to you as it did to me.

Mara Jambor
“I spent most of my adult career in education, earning a Doctorate in Educational Administration and ending my career as an elementary supervisor for the Jefferson County Board of Education. I retired in 2007 and began to paint in 2014. I don’t have a gift with words, so I as Edward Hopper says, “If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” I use palette knives or brushes to paint in oils and acrylics, at times using mixed media. I will say simply that I love color, light, and shadow. In my paintings I strive to use free brush strokes or wield a palette knife to create an impression of something that moves me. I want my paintings to appeal not only to one’s eye, but also to one’s heart. I hope that what I have painted communicates to you - speaks to you and perhaps touches your soul.”

Mary Ann Brechun
Every night, the news shows stories of hate, violence, and corruption. The amount of hate on social media and in our world these days has had a huge negative effect on my mood, which is usually positive and hopeful. This has helped me to understand what I want to paint and share, which can be summed up in this quote: “A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.” So, each of my art pieces aim to include something that will brighten a viewer’s day (or even moment) with hope, happiness, calmness, humor, or even an “awwwww'” moment. My inspiration typically comes from nature but recently I have been inspired also by favorite childhood memories. These paintings have a completely different color combination and are fun and playful. And while abstract painting is my passion, I have also been enjoying creating tiny pieces of cute or whimsical art.
Mary Margaret Binkley

Steve Brown
Troy, AL artist specializing in abstract paintings.
Steve Smith
Steve Smith works in the medium of discarded glass bottles, primarily wine bottles. They offer a palette of colors and are thick enough to lend themselves to the forming techniques he continues to explore and refine. No other artist has explored this particular art form to this extent. Everything he has learned has been through many trials and a lot more errors, but an enormous amount of fun.
Designing these small works of art is a mix of fantasy, adult attention deficit, and the burning desire to create a piece that will invite touch, contemplation, and deeper exploration. He seeks to create works with balance, harmony, and a reflectivity that allows for ever-changing imagery. These pieces are not transparent like stained glass—they look back at you as you examine them. They love light as they invite you to look into their souls and caress them with your fingertips.
All the glass used is recycled, even the mirrors are made from scraps. Before a sculpture can be assembled, each piece of the mosaic must be created...adding colors, cutting, drilling, carving, and 50 or more hours in the kiln, before assembling.
