Badger, Janet Best
I was diagnosed with talent at an early age, and was always the artist of the family. I was proud of my draftsmanship, but as time went by, I realized that I couldn't take credit for my talent; it was a gift. What I do take credit for is the effort I have made through the years to master my craft, those areas of printmaking that I focus on: mezzotint, etching and linoleum. My preferred subject is the human face and figure. I am fascinated by faces, and in trying to capture them I increase my understanding of what it means to be human, who I am, and what I'm here for.

Baldwin, Beatrice
I respond to both my physical location and the environment of ideas. Expressing contrasts, making comparisons and weaving dichotomies into the meanings of images. I combine traditional and non-traditional techniques, hand-coloring, collage and chine colle.

Brooks, Janet
I grew up in the tropical sunlight of the Gulf Coast of Texas, surrounded by a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Strong color and attention to detail are integral aspects of my work in art, whether abstract or realistic in style.
Much of my work in painting and serigraphy is pure abstraction, influenced by constuctivism, formalism, and optical art. Color and light symbolize emotional, sensual, and spiritual realms for me; structure and clarity of form represent intellectual, objective, and physical realms. Some of these works are concentric in composition; some are fragmented and then layered; some are cut up, cut out, collaged. All can relate to a sense of self in some way.

Casey, Belinda
My art is developed from a narrative fragmenting of images. My childhood was rich with colorful characters, steel magnolias and a confluence of mixed messages. The consequence of this is a creative ability to find humor in most things. My aesthetics reflect these poetic dichotomies: beauty with calculation, the bitter with the sweet, the humorous with the serious; the literary with the familiar; clandestine moments with collected observations. I enjoy the play of metamorphic connections with the subconscious and senses. Sexual entendre and duality of meanings are explored with symbolic and psychological innuendo. Images are juxtaposed, altered, and accessoried with a tongue-in-cheek attitude to form the focus of my work.

Gratovich, Annalise Natasha
I am a Texas hill country girl, born and raised. I am a printmaker to the pit of my heart; printmaking is my soul mate, the love of my life. I work primarily in intaglio, serigraphy, and relief, and have been exploring letterpress and limited edition books as well. Having
proudly graduated from drawing the heart clouds and unicorns of my childhood, I
now create my own fantastical characters who live in enchanted environments. My
characters provide a way for me, when I am feeling daydreamy and introverted, to
explore the bittersweet moments of human interaction as well as my own inner
confusions. They are the protagonists of my stories who I carefully wrap within
worlds of magical realism. I have
exhibited extensively in the central Texas area, as well as in Chicago and New
Orleans. I have work in private collections across the country, and in the
permanent collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, France, the University of Texas at Austin, and Austin Community
College, where I first learned the art of Printmaking. I have
always wanted to build a hot rod, and I still dream about waking up to find
unicorns in my yard.

Hayes, Angela
I have always been a writer with a vivid imagination and a skill for portraying emotion in my work. In college I took an art class in printmaking and lost my heart. I haven't stopped writing but I do take my skills as a writer and apply them to my art. Emotion is the core of who we are as people and I try to create work (art and poetry) that taps into my heart and soul, work that expresses something intensely real and intimate. True art is more than just a pretty picture, it says something about who you are, where you've been, and what you feel.

Hayman, Carol
My photo based prints are about light and its interaction with the artifacts that clutter our daily lives, that people leave behind, or natural objects around us. This interaction is mysterious and beautiful, imbued with significance, but unnoticed by most people. My mission is to call attention to these moments, to show the excitement in the mundane.

Lagattuta, Jo
As an art therapist, I am constantly in touch with the art of healing. Because I believe in the power of art to "concretize" personal changes I tend to use art for my own therapy and as a way to process "my stuff." In so doing, I hope the healing qualities that may be exhibited in my art will influence the viewer to find solace in the art piece.

Pavlik, Anna Marie
Growing concern for the survival of natural areas and a need to understand the relationship of people to their environment have encouraged me to explore nature related themes. My images are concerned with revealing and defining how nature has functioned. I extract the concepts which I visually explore, from my exploration of natural sites, science publications, and speaking with the National Park Service. By creating these works I hope to direct the viewers attention to the irreplaceable value, sublime beauty, and mystery found within our natural environment. I attempt to work with these concepts in two general ways, landscape pieces such as " As I develop images I am thinking about how what I see and am learning can be transformed into another concept utilizing the techniques of the etching process. This is the basis for "Mongswa, the animal that eats twigs" my initial nature based compilation image. I wanted to find a way to show the complexity of the
