New Ceramic Artist Jan Schachter

Jan Schachter enjoys making pots for everyday use; each is a subtle variation of a form – usually created in a series. Jan is a perfectionist (as much as the process allows) and she is constantly in search of the perfect surface and ideal form while striving to create pots that have life and vitality. Jan loves having the opportunity to fire in a wood kiln and make special work for that to take advantage of the ash & heat.Working in clay is an endless technical challenge. Perhaps her training as a microbiologist has helped provide her with the patience required to not just physically create her work, but to push through those technical challenges and the unending variables to create the work she envisions. Jan is also a very practical person, which leads her to primarily make pots for use.

New Glass Hearts by Donna Gordon

Donna Gordon works with glass and it is such an amazing material to work with.  It can be transparent or completely opaque and any variation in between.  It is resilient yet fragile,  we use it for protection from the outside environments in our cars and homes, and it can be made so thin that it flexes as in fiber-optic cables and insulation or delicate like the finest thinnest blown goblet.  Molten glass is a conductor of electricity and in its solid state it is an insulator.  It is incredible that when this material is heated to 2100 degrees you can change it with a simple breath of air, but there is no direct contact, only tools.  It can be worked in various stages, being hot, warm and cold.  The possibilities are truly endless! Donna’s inspiration comes mainly just from living, it can be as simple as a texture, a color, the way the sun is casting a shadow, the crisp smell of fall. These gorgeous hearts come in several sizes, colors and they stand up to catch the light.

New Artist Heather Edwards

Themes in her work include religious symbolism, fantasy realism, equine and wildlife, and bold reworking of Disney characters. Her process in painting is constantly morphing as she applies new techniques, but most often consist of a multitude layers of paint and glazes (as many as 20 or so in some cases) to reach the desired depth and detail that dominates her work.

New Artist Trevor Carlton

Monte Trevor Carlton was born in 1972 in Olympia, Washington State. Although he took up painting in high school, the first artistic passion that Trevor embraced was acting. He decided to forgo an art scholarship in favor of attending a dramatic arts scholarship at Skagit Valley College.

Trevor next attended the Lee Strasberg Acting Workshop. The following year he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Amidst the chaos of auditions and callbacks, Trevor paid the bills by working in a custom furniture store, specializing in antiquing and faux finish designs.

It was here that a style was born. Using reclaimed lumber as his "canvas", he started painting images of vintage Americana with subjects ranging from pop icon celebrity to the hey day of jazz.

After numerous gallery shows in Los Angeles and private commissions he has now combined his unique style to that most American of symbols, MICKEY MOUSE. Along with a series of classic lobby card paintings, he has also created a performance piece that has him painting a large canvas of our favorite Disney characters in a matter of minutes.
