Baltimore-based artists Shannon Collis and Liz Donadio combine their backgrounds in photography, digital video, and sound installation to create works that explore public spaces, uncovering details of their past, present, and possible futures. Collaborating since 2016, their work has been exhibited locally and regionally in museums and galleries such as Arlington Arts Center, Current Space, the Institute of Contemporary Art Baltimore, InLight Richmond, and the Walters Art Museum. Their print series Concrete/Complex is in the collection of the Albin O.

Jay Coleman is a multidisciplinary artist whose primary focus is public art. He is an experienced muralist, bronze sculptor, portrait painter, tattoo artist and photographer/ filmmaker.
I am an artist. It took me nearly 40 years to say that, despite 40 years of creativity that might say otherwise. My first love is photography. Decades after my introduction to the darkroom and all that is the glory of film, my photography business is booming and I’m thankful for many amazing clients and the freedom it gives me to set my own schedule and be there for my kids. But I missed working with my hands. When a local Silver Spring mosaic artist put out a call for interns, I jumped. Suddenly, I was in love again.
Wesley Clark currently resides in Hyattsville, MD, with his wife and two beautiful children. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Syracuse University and a Master of Fine Arts from The George Washington University.
At the core of his practice, Clark primarily creates mixed media wood assemblages that read as familiar and are often hybrids of two, or more, objects/concepts. He refers to these objects as fictional artifacts, made to look as if they’ve lived a life prior to being on display prompting viewers to question their importance and create their own narratives.
