PJP Martin
  I define my work as an opinion to express, which is created to invoke the thoughts, emotions and impression of the viewer. Because art is subjective, I create so the viewer can effortlessly engage with the art. I create original abstract, expression, modern, realism and contemporary works of art. My images are not confined to one subject matter or design, surface or medium. Canvases are always primed and each work a series of under paintings, layered one after another, until the final image is achieved, and I am confident the expression is complete. 
Katie Loebach
Katie Loebach (b. Gaithersburg MD) is currently a double major in Art and Art History at St Mary’s College of Maryland. She draws from her knowledge of art history to create art around women’s sexuality. Her inspirations date back to the pre-historic time, as she uses the Venus of Willendorf as one of the key works of art that inspires her rounded form. She thinks about ways in which women were portrayed as sexual objects, and creates art that begs the question- can women be sexual while having their own autonomy?
keith kozloff
 My interest in photography began around the time of my 13th birthday, when I received a “Yashica A”, which is a twin lens reflex film camera whose exposure I set manually using a hand held light meter, and which produced 2 ¼ inch square negatives.  I built a black and white darkroom in my parent’s basement.  Since my exploration of photography began in monochrome, I became used to visualizing potential subject matter in grey tones.
