Tom Jones
Tom Jones is a photographic artist whose work comments on the identity, experience, and perception of American Indian culture. He has visually incorporated this experience through beaded Ho-Chunk floral designs directly onto the photograph, to give a symbolic representation of "our ancestors who are constantly watching over us and to present the pride, strength, and beauty of my people."
Jones holds a B.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin Madison as well as an M.A. and an M.F.A. from Columbia College Chicago. His artwork is included in private and public collections across the country, including the National Museum of the American Indian, Milwaukee Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, among others.

Stephanie Trenchard
My glass sculptures are three-dimensional vignettes that tell stories. My process is to create tangible iconography from imagery mined from my own experience as well taping into a collective visual memory. The telling of stories through objects creates a personal narrative with all the distortions and metamorphic qualities that time creates. I work with figure studies and portraits in creating biographies, often of women artists. Using archetypal imagery, such as houses, birds, and domestic items, I tell narratives as metaphors for transition, loss, and undefined memories.
*Trenchard is available for commissions. Please inquire.

“I employ a complex background pattern that reminds the viewer that the glass is an object instead of a window to be seen through. The pieces often straddle the line between painting and sculpture.”

Laurie Hogin
Based in lllinois, Laurie Hogin is a Pop Surrealist artist who creates beautiful yet bizarre apocalyptic landscapes and allegorical animal portraits saturated in brilliant color and imbued with elaborate narratives reflecting pop culture and the human experience. Her remarkable skill as a painter is inextricably intertwined with her message for humankind.
Hogin is deeply concerned with the social and political issues of our contemporary culture. Her dazzling yet disturbing narrative allegories portray the disastrous effects of drug abuse, altered food sources, overconsumption, and misguided political and economic forces. Her hope is to evoke empathy toward all creatures and the ecosystems that support them.
She holds a B.F.A. from Cornell University and an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her artwork can be found in public and private collections across the country, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the New Museum in ew York City, among others.
