Michael Parker Artist Statement:

Michael Parker looks to challenge himself as an artist by expanding his horizons and tapping into the vastness of his creative energy that coincides in his DNA. His aim is to create something that connects the viewer to the universe while also altering the consciousness of those who seek knowledge as ancient as the beginning of time.

Anthony Fitzpatrick Artist Statement:

The work Anthony Fitzpatrick presents involves movement and colors, from things he has listened to and formed shapes and movement of objects. The colors and contrast attract people to think of different emotions – all of which he hopes are positive.

Janet Meulman Artist Statement:

Someone asked Janet Meulman why she likes to paint. She loved art in school and brought it to her home decorating in marbelizing furniture and walls. This year she actually painted a beach scene on three sides of her yard shed. She fell in love with the different artistic views she saw when she visited a couple of museums when she was in Paris. She was just in awe of what could be done, and they all had different reactions from different people. It totally floored her how it could change how you were feeling at the moment and dreamed of later.
