Rather’s compositions are explosive, semi-abstracted and vibrantly colored, often with an oceanic theme. She calls her prints “an emotional diary realized in imagery.”
Schneider’s recent prints explore formal relationships between geometric form, line and color. The imagery evokes tensions and balances between particular states of mind and emotion.

Sickle’s layered abstractions juxtapose printed organic and geometric shapes. Her intimate objects of cut, bent and/or folded paper capture the shadows of forms in nature, as well as man-made structures.
The interdisciplinary work of Sullivan’s is constructed from a hybrid of screen printing, sculpture and digital photography. Her pieces focus on issues of consumerism, marketing practices and the human propensity for personalizing environments.
