Jim Downer is an award-winning animator whose films have been screened regionally, nationally, and internationally at festivals around the world. His work features some of his animations.

Kathleen Farrell loves to sketch and does so every day in all sorts of venues, preferring to draw her thoughts, rather than speaking her thoughts, whenever possible. (kfarrbelly@mac.com)

Jason Flack celebrates 25 years of technical know-how by featuring images from his visit to Yosemite, photographing its natural wonders with the most basic camera available. (jasonflack@hotmail.com)

Karen Sardisco's new work primarily examines memory and looks back at recollections that are now incomplete. She explores various monoprinting techniques, documenting the emotional and psychological process of dealing with loss. (www.karensardisco.com)

Jason Smith’s work often consists of many layers of collage materials, marks, textures, and paint. Images are repeated and recombined in different contexts in the search for meaningful visual connections. (jsmith3@monroecc.edu)

Franzie Weldgen is showing "…and called it macaroni" inspired by the macaroni fashion and art movement in the late 17th- and 18th-century France and Italy. (www.franzieweldgen.com)
