A native of Dickson TN, he experimented with paints and pastels in his early years, but always had a passion for charcoal and graphite. While attending college, a professor encouraged him to take a 'pick something and do it well' approach with his art. Feeling very liberated by this, Derrick decided to develop his style by working exclusively with charcoal. In 2005, while living in Colorado, he accepted a commission to draw something that he had always avoided, the portrait of a face. Ironically, he has drawn mostly faces ever since. In 2006, he began drawing portraits for many clients that share his love for intensely 'colorful' black and white art, and has displayed his portraits in public and private galleries in the middle Tennessee area. Derrick lives with his wife and daughter in Franklin, TN. He is Co-Headmaster of Stone Table School, where he teaches English and Art. Those interested in commissioning Derrick to draw a charcoal portrait (of any subject), please feel free to contact him.

I have been seeing the world (quite literally) through a camera lens ever since (sometimes to my wife's distress). I love to capture moments and scenes that will never again happen quite the same way. I constantly wonder how EVERYTHING looks through a lens. No formal photography training other than a 6 week class in tenth grade high school, otherwise I am completely self-taught. I have always been an information sponge and read everything I can find about whatever subject it is that I am currently studying until I know more about it than most people. If I am interested in something, I must know everything that there is to know about it, and if my questions are still not answered, then I will become the authority on that subject and find the answers to then share with others. I have traveled the world and seen many wonderful things, many of which I have captured for others to see. I love to share my experiences with others.

She portrays ordinary animals (cows, pigs, goats and other commonplace animals) to show their real beauty and fun personalities. Having access to her sister's farm in New Boston, MO, she is able to capture the animals in a very genuine, fun and sometimes quirky predicament.

Photographer / Painter Eric L Hansen's color images are deeply personal storyboards of his own connections to post-modern
American culture. Philip Brookman,
head curator at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art, Washington DC, called his work “An enduring vision that will enable us
to see the world in a new way.” Eric is published in the Lucie-Award winning
journal Eyemazing. He recently won
the Pollux Award’s international prize for best fine art photography, exhibition
in Buenos Aires, January 2012. His collectors include the actress Drew Barrymore. From the beginning, Eric cannot remember a time when he was
not drawing and painting. He was born in Staten Island, New York City, and
later went to grammar school in Bayside, Queens. His first toys were crayons,
fat pencils, watercolors, tempera paints, and special papers. When he was 10,
his grandmother gave him a point-and-shoot film camera. While he continued to
draw and paint, after that he never stopped making pictures with cameras. 2002 marked the beginning of Eric’s emergence onto the
national art scene. He held his first solo exhibition at the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art in 2004. He finaled in Photolucida’s Critical Mass competition in
2006, followed by a solo exhibition at the George Billis Gallery in Los Angeles
in 2007. Museum directors who have curated his work include: Curator of Photography at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Malcolm Daniel, Director of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art Robert Fitzpatrick, Director of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art Joann Moser. For more information, visit www.EricLHansen.com or email Eric@EricLHansen.com  Painter Julie Harvey is a visual artist from Franklin, Tennessee. Her images are abstracted dream-like visuals that come from the quiet and dark places one might expect, but they are also quite approachable at the same time. The paintings are usually on large canvases, varying in size up to as large as 60” x 60”. The subjects are deconstructed, distorted versions of objects or organic bodies, but sometimes they are less literal, leaving the door open to interpretation. Her goal in each painting is to ignite some kind of personal reaction that relates to others in some way, so she usually keeps any kind of psychology or concept about the work to herself and lets the viewer decide on the meaning. Brushes are used for soft areas, blended colors, and transparent washes; trowels layer on the large patches of color and texture; and knives do the digging, tearing, and scratching-through that make up the grit you will find in her work. She has a large number of finished pieces available for viewing via email or the web for any prospective buyers or anyone interested in showing her work.

Gallatin, TN nmk21@bellsouth.net Shari Lacy Artist Shari Lacy is an artist with a small home studio in Franklin, TN. A graduate of Miami University/Oxford, OH's Fine Arts program, she is a life-long and college trained artist yet primarily a self taught painter. Much of what she has learned comes from her interaction and observation of people and life in general and other art specifically. She loves to experiment with natural tones as well as colors, water color, sketches, textures and acrylics, and developed some of her techniques by taking a variety of different classes throughout the years. Primarily working with textured mediums and acrylics on canvas, you'll also find a watercolor and/or sketch sneaking their way into her portfolio every now and then. She is very intrigued by the surface and edges of the canvas and how different pressures, paint thickness, brush sizes, etc. can bring out different emotions in a painting. Shari has always been fascinated by the creative process; one stroke leading to the next, one sketch leading to another, all finding themselves to be an important part of that finished puzzle called a piece of art. Shari owns PR company and has taken on creative design projects and commissioned work for years. She's also an avid writer, so she makes every attempt possible to marry her love of words and art. Many of her pieces include some sort of inspirational word or quote. She loves to study artists of all styles, but searches for the works of those with a similar free-handed touch.

place deep within. Her poems explore the human experience in accessible images
and moments. Yusef Komunyakka said
of her work, “Reading Stellasue’s poems take us to a sense of place, to loved
ones by way of sharp turns and hair-pin curves. I believe and trust her voices
captured in these poems that drive us toward the vortex of what matters.” Twice an entrant for the Pulitzer
Prize, she has been published in numerous literary journals. Poetry is a form that enables her
to understand the inner core of her life. It permits an uncritical gaze that changes the course of her thinking.
She is known to ask her new students “Seize your critic by the scruff of the neck,
and lock him up.” She believes that’s where her critic belongs as well, locked
away. In addition to her journal
publications, Stellasue’s work appears in three volumes, After I fall, a collection of four Los Angeles poets, Over to you, an exchange of poems with
David Widup, and 13 Los Angeles Poets,
the ONTHEBUSH Poets Series Number
One. (Bombshelter Press) The two books of her work, Crossing The Double Yellow Line and firecracker RED have caught the eye of the Pulitzer committee. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Honolulu
University. Now Editor Emeritus at RATTLE, a literary journal, she serves
presently on the editorial board at Curbstone Press, www.curbstone.org. She teaches individually
and at writers’ workshops. She was born in the year of the dragon.

Whether she is painting, photographing or felting she is drawn to the wondrous expressions of texture and light in nature.It is just in the past few years that the ancient art of felt making has peaked her interest. A nurse by profession, she taught herself to make felt while recovering from a recent illness. “The textures of the various wools, the hand dyed and hand spun yarns are so inspiring, I want to touch them all and bring them home. I typically use a wide variety of wools and silk in my creations." My inventory includes purses, scarves, hats and wall art. Traditional felting (wet felting) is the act of layering wool fibers on a surface or around a form (called a resist). The pile of fibers is then sprinkled with soapy water and gently pressed together by hand until the fabric becomes stable. Then a more rigorous hand process is utilized to shrink and strengthen the nonwoven fabric. Once it is completely fulled or hardened, the soap is rinsed out, the fabric is shaped and left to dry. I often then embellish the item further with glass beads or hand stitching. 435 Coburn Lane, Franklin, TN 37069, kyrebel@comcast.net  Artist Rachael's paintings and sculptures are collected both nationally and internationally.

All the colors, the composition, the depth, the technique - it all sits in your mind. . . and then! It happens, it doesn't happen. It is just like a puzzle being put together - that color worked, that one didn't. And so you keep working the puzzle until it comes together. 3455 Bright Road, Philadelphia, TN 37846 marciashell@aol.com For more information, visit www.maruarts.net  Artist Norb's work is driven by the core of human existence, emotion, and it's external presence. He's sees himself as a social critic who has developed expressionistic style in the context of Van Gogh, Picasso, as well as such abstract expressionists as Nolde, Kirschner and Munch. Primarily interested in figurative art composition, he has always avoided easy moralistic judgements, preferring to explore primal human characteristics that become apparent to the viewer only after he or she has spent ample time considering them.
