Pauly Cudd, "Glassblowing's my life's passion. I am attracted to the mystical qualities of fluid glass. It is truly challenging to manipulate and persuade a medium that you can't touch with your hands. With each piece I create, I try to pass on my passion for glass to its new owner."

Furniture maker Brian Hall uses predominately reclaimed material, much of it recovered from projects from his construction business, combined with hardwood slabs and branches from the woods surrounding his rural Amery home and shop.
Timber framing appeals to him in the same way furniture does; the process is challenging and fulfilling. The end product is functional as well as beautiful.

Han Huisman -
I was born and studied in Amsterdam The Netherlands and got a PhD in Molecular Biology and Immunology from the University of Amsterdam. I have been working on the Viro-Immunological aspects of the AIDS virus. In 2001 I moved to the United States of America, working as a neuroscientist and living in Wisconsin.
Performing art is for me a personal activity that entails responses to my career as a scientist. By the way, my education in art is little.
I ask myself, how art can be relevant to anyone else and are there boundaries when you call it ‘not art’ anymore.
My aim is to show others what I see, not precisely what I saw.
I make paintings, mixed media objects and (neo-DADA) sculptures and installations and all are manifest of my creative work.
Searching for associations and relationships in using different artifacts, antique subjects, my collections of hoarding materials and technologies are my goals.
When I see that unrelated subjects fits together, I move on to completion.
Join me.

I love animals, birds and just about all creatures....always have, always will. It is just in me.
In my paintings, I use alcohol inks, acrylic inks, watercolor on a variety of surfaces, tile, canvas, gesso panels, metal and Yupo paper. I love the bright intense colors that the ink provides and the surprises I get while attempting to control the ink that floats on top of my painting surface! My paintings are whimsical & fun but some what realistic. I hope you enjoy!

Sharyl Manwiller has found painting foster surprises to happen in line, shape and color. She experiences the natural world as calming and seeks to represent some of this quality in pictures of plant life, animals, people or landscapes. Oil, pastel, water color or acrylics work well to accomplish this goal.
"I've enjoyed being a member of artZ since the very beginning. I've loved showing my work in this lovely gallery, which consists of mixed media, pastel, watercolor, assemblage, and handmade paper. My special interest is using paper in a variety of ways. Teaching classes at artZ and in other locations has always been a positive experience for me.".
Nan has studied for the past few years how to create with copper, clay, silver clay, and glass, making mostly jewelry. She particularly loves to work with color, so her main emphasis is currently in glass and clay.
Nan’s clay items are made from polymer clay with a technique called “makame game”. They are fired at a low temperature and capped with resin to bring out the depth and color.
Her glass items are hand built. She cuts and combines different glasses to create each piece of jewelry, landscapes and home decor. She uses a variety of techniques to create her pieces which results in a multitude of unique designs.
David Stone - Pottery has been his passion for over 50 years. He is awed by the spontaneous surprises this media produces and is continually humbled by a medium forged out of need thousands of years ago. These elements are reflected in the functional stoneware he creates for all to use and enjoy.
