Stephanie Bostock
I have always had an incredible urge to be creative, and the process of painting allows me to express myself. For me when I paint, it is a meditation and an outlet. Expressing myself through design is intuitive and euphoric. I consider myself and “Eclectic Painter,” and I enjoy choosing from a large range of artistic styles.
Sophia Harcourt
I photograph the beauty that I see around me, whether it be people, places or things. Whenever opportunities arise to travel, whether near or far, I bring my camera and capture what surrounds me in those moments. This media-filled world has created a need in me to create and print images that are tangible.
Sherry McAdams
Sherry McAdams is a North Carolina contemporary painter whose work has roots in the abstract expressionist tradition, yet embraces a style that is uniquely her own. Shapes and line appear to morph in and out of focus, and subtle imagery whispers beneath the surface.
