He has had success as a freelance musician, having appeared and recorded with such world-renown artists as Etienne Charles, Terell Stafford, and Justin Lee-Schultz.

Lauren Brumbach
Lauren Brumbach Ebersole is a professional fine artist and graphic designer who works consistently in the fine art and freelance markets.  Lauren knew at a very young age that her life would be one lived in wonder.  She grew up in a sleepy little farm town where time moves a little slower, dinner is always at 5:00 and phrases like “wie geht’s” and “mach’s gut” aren’t foreign. The inherent simplicity and appreciation for life fuels her desire to create.
J Shepard
My artwork is for every person whose been haunted by a dream, a scent, a memory. Despite their evanescence, these ethereal beasts can keep you up at night like ghosts in the attic. The butterflies in my gut, the sleeping secrets beneath every tongue- that is the place in which I dip my brush. 
Port Tobacco Players

The Port Tobacco Players, Inc. strives to entertain, educate, uplift, challenge, enlighten, and enrich their audiences, volunteers and community by providing consistent quality productions at affordable prices. It was in the days following the Second World War, when a weary America turned its eyes toward rebuilding. The residents of the small but history laden town of Port Tobacco had only to look across their small town square, at the burned rubble of their once proud courthouse, to decide what had to be done.

Kristy Wells
My name is Kristy Wells from Maryland, my work is inspired by life experiences and the experimentation with color. I have an Associates Degree from Montgomery College and a BFA from the Corcoran College of Art & Design. I work in the mediums of digital art, painting and screen printing. I’m in a constant search to expand my ideas in regards to themes and concepts which creates growth.
Three Ring Studio (Donald Ely)
Living within a short car drive from Washington D.C. means that I’m asked a recurring question from every new person I meet: “What do you do?” Answering that question is challenging and varies depending on whom I’m talking to. Some days I’m an illustrator, others I’m an art director, graphic designer, pattern maker, or muralist. The truth is that I am all of these things, hence the name Three Ring Studio.
