Gregory Hein (b. 1960, Baltimore, USA) uses the materiality of paint to explore the limits of language. His work in painting and video examines chance, symbols, and sentimentality, crafting found-word abstractions that generate shapes spontaneously. Hein studied Studio Art and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Design at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD.

Hi! I’m Gail. I use my artwork as a vehicle for creating awareness, posing questions, and for making statements on various social issues. My creative process is anchored in a consistent, intuitive approach to being present in the now. I live immersed in the flow of creation, incorporating what comes into my stream of consciousness {intellectually, emotionally and/or physically} into my artwork.

My name is Eric Reiffenstein and I’m a Photographer, and Educator. In addition to teaching and sharing my love of photography I’m a Fine Art and Portraiture Photographer. I have BFA from Purchase College State University of New York and after four years of odd jobs, some photographic and some not, I decided to go back to Graduate school at Savannah College of Art and Design. The MFA Program there gave me the opportunity to explore new directions in my personal work and the school’s emphasis on a well rounded technical and artistic curriculum filled in gaps in my knowledge.
