About The Artist
Art is capturing a moment of time.
A moment of one’s soul.
That is why every piece of art is different even if we are looking at the
same model or the same still life or landscape.
It has to be different because the art is a reflection of who we are at the moment, and how we are relating to the object or person at that moment.
In doing so, we are bringing our histories with us:
Our past, present and hopes for the future.
I really don’t know what led me to art. I didn’t get there until much later in life.
Initially trained as a photojournalist, Jon Malis is an interdisciplinary artist investigating the representation and display of visual content, focusing on how various methods of presentation and production can alter the viewer’s perception, interpretation, and experience of photography and visual culture. His current works seek to provide a physical definition of digital photography, creating images and sculptural forms based upon how computer color and digital processing unconsciously transforms imagery.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I was inspired at an early age by the mountains, ocean and the natural beauty that surrounded me. I quickly found photography as a creative outlet to capture the sense of inspiration I felt when exploring these places.
Now as a Maryland artist, the magnificent landscapes of ‘The West’ continue to call me back. I’ve enjoyed many fulfilling journeys across the western part of the United States and Canada to capture its beauty.

Chelsea Webster is a native Maryland photographer born and raised in Salisbury. She graduated from Salisbury University in the Spring semester in May 2020 with a BFA, photography track. During her time at Salisbury University, Chelsea developed a passion for film photography. The timed exposures in a roll of film offer a meditative process prior to capturing the image; thus, the framing of every photograph is intentional and possesses a pre-visualized composition. She formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious process of composition that is behind the seemingly random works.

MAD Dance is Kitty Clark and Ray C. Shaw, based in Maryland’s Washington and Frederick Counties. Drawing on improvisational and somatic practices, the duo manifests deeply intimate work. Whether dancing on the stage, in parks, in parking lots, or in art galleries, they consider dance from the perspective of being experienced,older, and authentic movers. Their work is subtle, intimate, and sensitive, and solidified by undeniable chemistry. Kitty and Ray create immersive environments in which non-linear communication thrives.
I pitch myself as "The Artist at the End of the World". I'm an expert in dry mediums, especially graphite drawing, but with experience in charcoal, chalks, pastels, and have some experience with inks and paints as well. I'm also a photographer, wherein I've been developing a collection of post-apocalyptic-themed stylized photos, combining urbex style locations, volunteer models, costumes, and props. I have also been known to write and perform spoken word poetry at various locations and open mic nights.
