I am Artist and Visual Designer living in Baltimore, Maryland. I am a member of the Visual Arts Faculty
and the Exhibitions Educator (Curator) at The Park School of Baltimore.
My photographic constructions reference the natural world in an effort to consider the transitory essence of being, and to confront my own sense of existential dread. I find comfort in the ephemeral cycle of Nature, and hope to convey tranquility and solitude through these compositions.
Kate Norris’ mixed media collages are made from tearing wallpaper and reconstructing the pieces in a new way, giving new meaning with a modern sensibility. From a distance, a viewer looking at the wallpaper collages will see a primary image. But, as the viewer looks closer the process reveals layers of torn and combined papers, where small narratives and abstract juxtapositions of flowers, animals, foliage, and colors are formed. Her collages open conversations about processes, techniques, and symbolic associations.

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Mary Landavere’s life story weaves together her desires to both help people holistically and use her creative gifts to paint works that resonate with the viewer.
Mary was introduced to oil painting in the third grade when her mother observed Mary’s strong interest in art. Weekly lessons provided a structured, guided environment where she learned to apply and hone her gift. Exercises in still-life, landscape, and portraiture painting allowed Mary to develop her skills of observation while absorbing the techniques of paint application.
