Susan Boeckmann
	The human experience as expressed through the figure has always intrigued me- first as a dancer and now as an artist. My earlier work explored the vast and ancient patriarchal stronghold over women's bodies, minds and spirits. More recent figurative work entertwines issues surrounding science and medicine, art history and art theory, and ritualistic behavior and spirituality. Visit mnartists.org

Callie Clark-Wiren
	My artistic interests are in the exploration of identity; the self within a continuum (history) and within relationship to the world and culture, as well as issues of the memory of trauma, and the relationship of the internal-self to memory and identity. I employ photography as my medium because its theoretical nature is often beneficial to the issues of identity that I am looking at, as well as the idea of a trace. I largely focus on the genre of portraiture and self-portraiture. However, it is the non-traditional, or what I would call, the absent (self) portrait, that I am most interested in. An example of the absent self portrait is my piece "Self-Portrait as a House" (to the left). Please visit my website: www.callieclarkwiren.com.
Sarah Collins
	My artwork is are inspired by scripture and nature. I am often moved to transform a passage of the Bible into visual ideas, or to connect a natural scene such as a landscape to a scriptural reference. Painting with and using mixed media allows me to give a voice to everyday items such as tissue paper, sand, and fabric, and allows them to speak in a way they are not normally able to. Please visit my website at:www.sarahcollins.org
Gloria Cooper
	My work is two dimensional paintings and collages for the most part. I also incorporate calligraphy in my art which I have been doing for over 25 years. Abstraction and nature are focal points along with my love of Hebrew letters and Judaic symbols. Visit my website at www.gloriacooperart.com
Carrie Decker
	Carrie Decker is a modern expressionist inspired by the works of Georgia O'Keeffe and Beauford Delany. With a passion for intense color and combinations that resonate, she seeks to call attention boldly to the joy found in recognizing beauty and colors all around us. Additional works can be found at www.mnartists.org/Carrie_Decker.
Kit Eastman
	I work with natural motifs, exploring the play of repeated imagery and multiple layers in a single piece and/or among several pieces. I paint, stencil, screen-print, and monoprint to develop my images on natural fibers through repeated cycles of dyeing, blocking out, removing and adding color. My process reveals a layered history in the work that I find evocative. You can see more of my work at www.mnartists.org
Sharra Frank
	I create ornate and intricate mosaics to give the feel and appearance of discovered antiques and treasures, magical and charming.  As if they are from another lifetime or perhaps a fairy tale, full of history and soul.  I use an extensive palette of glass, beads, mirror, vintage rhinestones, freshwater pearls, gold and found objects. Visit my web site at www.sharrafrank.com.

Barbara Harman
	I work in series over a number of years, focusing my work on a single theme, explored through the natural environment of a specific place. The art I create during that time establishes a bridge between an actual place and events in my life and in the world. A series encompasses writing, site notes and sketches, photographs, prints, paintings on paper and fabric, embroidery, and artist books. Visit my web site at barbaraharman.com
Mimi Holmes	Sacred Heart Sacred Heart Productions is my business name, but makes no sense since I converted to Judaism 9 years ago. This is my glitter interpretation on an age old theme. See more Mimi Art at mnartist.org.
Karen Klein	I am a photographer/visual artist. In my photomontages, as in life, there are many perspectives, layers, truths and realities.  I manipulate numerous photographic images to create a visual environment, using space, perspective and tonality to move the viewer through the final piece.  I want the viewer to experience a memory, a moment of their knowing. Please visit www.karenklein.com to see more of my work.
Jean Leuthner	What is it that makes us unique?   I believe it is that each of us is alone in what we see.  In my paintings I try to capture moments that we yearn for, a lost time and place that is distinct, solitary and contemplative. Visit my website at http://www.jeanleuthner.com/
Kari Maxwell	l have focussed on the cow as the subject of my oil and acrylic paintings for over 3 years.  My paintings reflect the merge I experience between my personal process and my relationship with each cow.  I believe every person would benefit from having a cow in their life (or a representation of her). visit my website at http://homepage.mac.com/karimaxwell.

Polly Norman
	Abstract photograph/grams taken through architectural glass blocks. Explosive, kinetic, abstract oil paintings on canvas. Both inspired by her experience as a dance photographer and archetypal/primitive symbols from the unconscious. Visit Norman's site at www.pollynormanart.com
Jodi Reeb-Meyers
	Through abstracted soft grids, I try to depict my understanding of how the whole is reflected in the structure of the part.  An example of this is how leaves are a map for trees.  I layer paint and texture to describe the process of nature.  This process of change and transformation is supported by integrating many different media such as acrylic paint, collage and printmaking. Visit my website at www.jodireebmyers.com
Clara Saprasa
	Clara Saprasa uses the female body as a vehicle to unite the natural, material world with the magical, mystical world of which we can only catch glimpses. The body, after all, is only a temporary house for the soul. Her real fascination is with the soul within the body - the internal spirit. Saprasa is included in the Minnesota Artists Online Directory.
Karen Searle
	Karen Searle is a fiber artist whose work explores the female form. Searle is included in the Minnesota Artists Online Directory.
Lynn Speaker
	I have developed a process of image making that utilizes gunpowder as a medium. The images are a record of an active event, capturing the residual effects released by the burning object. It is a transformative process that explores the alchemic element of fire directory. Visit my website at http://mnartists.org/Lynn_Speaker.
Cheryl Walsh Bellville
	To quote another artist, "In a bold move backward, I embraced the camera obscura", as well as the plastic cameras of the 1950's and the pinhole. Decades of correctness, and crisp focus in commercial work, and the even more precise digital images of the moment propelled me in another direction toward the vague pictorialist photographs of a hundred years ago. Accidents are welcomed, details are disregarded or lost in the shadows and soft edges of the frame. If there is a statement it is subject. Visit my website at http://www.cwbphotography.com/.
Karen Wilcox
