Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan. She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water. This beautiful element can bring a meditative calm and inner peace, as one feels a connection to the timeless forces of life. VanVoorhis is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

In this exhibit, Adnan Charara translates his assembled characters, from both collage and found object assemblage, into commanding acrylic paintings. The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan. She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water. This beautiful element can bring a meditative calm and inner peace, as one feels a connection to the timeless forces of life. VanVoorhis is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

In this exhibit, Adnan Charara translates his assembled characters, from both collage and found object assemblage, into commanding acrylic paintings. The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan. She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water. This beautiful element can bring a meditative calm and inner peace, as one feels a connection to the timeless forces of life. VanVoorhis is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

In this exhibit, Adnan Charara translates his assembled characters, from both collage and found object assemblage, into commanding acrylic paintings. The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan. She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water. This beautiful element can bring a meditative calm and inner peace, as one feels a connection to the timeless forces of life. VanVoorhis is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

In this exhibit, Adnan Charara translates his assembled characters, from both collage and found object assemblage, into commanding acrylic paintings. The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan. She finds inspiration in the writing of naturalists such as Rachel Carson, and the understanding of the intricate web of all life. This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water. This beautiful element can bring a meditative calm and inner peace, as one feels a connection to the timeless forces of life. VanVoorhis is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

In this exhibit, Adnan Charara translates his assembled characters, from both collage and found object assemblage, into commanding acrylic paintings. The backgrounds interact with the figures, who represent history, identity, and the struggle for a sense of belonging. They are blueprints for being human: imperfect, unique and multi-faceted. Charara works in various mediums ranging from drawing, to jewelry, to large scale sculpture. He is a Lebanese-American artist with a studio in Detroit.

Cathy VanVoorhis’ oil landscape paintings represent her experience of the healing power of nature. VanVoorhis travels to lakes, rivers and streams to witness the ecology and beauty of natural coastlines of Michigan.

This series of paintings focuses on the healing that comes from contemplation of bodies of water.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Patty Carroll’s highly intense, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous, and often humorous, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images, these photographs show no horizon line, dramatic lighting, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

Charlie Patricolo has been creating, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching, Patricolo feels that, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina, but lived most of her life in Michigan.
