Woodcarver Sherilyn Tharp expresses her history of drawing, woodworking and carving with this collection of wood carved masks. She takes a traditional carved form and uses a wide variety of techniques sometimes in unusual and nontraditional ways to articulate her own vision. The masks are carved from a wide variety of woods and often embellished with scraps and found objects such as nails or thorns. The hair of a mask might be scrap from some other project such as basket making materials or fabric scraps. Some of the masks are carved from wood collected from tree cutters that save especially beautiful and unusual logs for her.
Open to the public during office hours.

Ceramic Artist Felix writes of her pit fired ceramics," Pit firing, one of the most primitive of firing methods, requires surrender of control over results. I surrender my artwork and control to fire and trust in what will emerge. This process is totally dependent on trust and faith. Just as one day can be more beautiful than the next, I am given differing blessings from the pit. A few are more amazing than others. Just as we can trust in the light returning on a daily basis, I have come to trust the possibility of powerful pieces emerging from the flames.
I am drawn to the mystery and magic of the ancient and try to evoke similar responses in my art. The Hebrew words for faith, emunah and art, omanut come from the same root. My pieces represent the constant struggle to find the light amidst the darkness and chaos of our lives.

A selection of images spanning a career in documentary photography by the renowned Brazilian photographer. His images tell the story of an era, tracing the human and environmental impacts of modern industrial civilization through the lives of workers, the rural poor and the displaced.
In his native country, together with his wife, he works on an environmental restoration project called Instituto Terra in Brazil. The project's mission is to restore a portion of Brazil's Atlantic forest, raise environmental awareness, and work on small economic development projects benefiting the communities living in that high biodiversity area.
