Born in Evansville, Indiana, Kelly Walker found her way to Baltimore, MD by the age of 18 where she has lived ever since. A self-taught artist, Walker will tell you she studied at “The School of Real Life”. She absorbs the beauty, chaos, and sometimes disturbing reality of Baltimore City and channels it into her work. In addition to her fine art career, Walker also runs a decorative painting company, Artstar Custom Paintworks, which is responsible for many of the exquisite custom faux finishes and murals found throughout the city’s establishments.
Lonnie Q. Ingram is a wire sculptor, originally from Washington, D. C. and currently residing in Baltimore, MD, where he established his art and design business, Lonnetrix, in 2012. As sole proprietor, he is regarded as an innovator and an inspiration to those who have experienced his work. Mr. Ingram is self-taught and uses wire to re-create form. After years of creating wire sculptures, he created his own style, which he dubbed "Lonnetrix." Lonnetrix, similar to weaving with wire, allows Mr. Ingram to combine everyday shapes and guiding lines to create innovative wire sculptures.

From Meteorologist to Artist
In 2007 I retired as a meteorologist after 50 years of work and have been focusing mainly on my art, from sculptures to functional art to metal collages .I have been working in this arena for over two decades. Being self taught with no formal training, my work has been exhibited at numerous shows and exhibits in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area. Most importantly, I love what I’m doing.
