| BEN TIMPSON Ben assembles miniature compositions on slide film at his light table which are sometimes viewed through magnifying lenses. He then enlarges the compositions using photographic techniques. Ben has captured a style that trades traditional notions of painting and collage for an evocative visual alchemy.   Dead Flowers in a Perfect Face |
| Using fabric, Karin works in a manner that mimics the flow of paint from a brush. Intricately cut, placed, and pasted textiles are combined with gouache, acrylic, and graphite to create collage paintings that are deep in color and texture. She has been featured in various art publications and has been a part of the Charleston art scene since 2003.   Thoughts in the Breeze |
| Painting in reverse on multiple, stacked panes of glass, and using vintage women's magazines as source material, Dorothy's work incorporates hand-drawn and screen printed imagery. She received a BA in Studio Art from the College of Charleston in 2000. Dorothy's work has been shown in the SC State Museum, and the Greenville County Museum of Art. She is represented by If Art Gallery in Columbia, SC, and Barbara Archer Gallery in Atlanta, GA.   When you were a little girl 1 |
| Through weaving, stacking, arranging, and mold-making fused with pre and post-consumer manufactured materials, Jonathan creates labor intensive installations with a traditional craft based sensibility. Jonathan recieved a B.A. in Studio Art from the College of Charleston, and has recieved the Bridge Art Fair Emerging Artist Prize.   The Dam Stuhltrager piece Jonatha |
| Ishmael taps into his immense knowledge of graffitit techniques to produce works on canvas. He experiments and captures jaw dropping effects by burning and maniplating his medium, spray paint. Ishmael was born in Madrid to Cuban parents, and raised in South West Miami where he taught himself to paint. He adpoted his name from the book by Daniel Quinn, which focuses on rebelling against the status quo.   Remember when we battled without guns? |
