Jazmine Applegate (Jazz Chao)

Jazz Chao is a mixed media painter colliding the multiplicities if cultural identity. Using flat graphics pitted against realistic subjects, her work thrives in an abstracted and texture-heavy environment. Jazz Chao’s artwork is a body of pop-surrealism, with themes of memory and absurdity.

Samantha Amoroso

Samantha Amoroso, born in Long Island, New York, graduated from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in 2015, receiving her BFA in Painting.

In addition to teaching, she has continued to show her work in both group and solo exhibitions in the Cincinnati area, including Clay Press Street Gallery, Studio X, and Sharonville Cultural Art Center.


Jeff Brinkman

Self taught photographer. I love all respects of the medium. My depth of field regarding work is very random, from snapshots to narrative, disposable cameras to digital, views most ignore.


Jason Durham (American, born 1972)

Jason Michael Durham is a Cincinnati native and outsider artist specializing in mixed media compositions. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Electronic Media from Northern Kentucky University. Jason likes to take chances, experiment, and improvise to create works of art that reflect his personality. He is heavily influenced by Frank Stella, Jerry Garcia, and Jeff Spicoli.

Sarah Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio, 20th/21st century)

Fiber artist Sarah Miller of MoonForest Studio has been turning wispy piles of wool fiber into sophisticated and colorful objects of art through the process of needle felting for over ten years. Similar to her background in clay, felting is a very tactile process that allows a piece to develop over time, with the added benefit of immediate color, a huge inspiration! Sarah has been traveling and selling her work at outdoor art shows for many years, and you may have seen her work in the pages of Somerset Studio Holiday or Better Homes and Gardens Holliday Craft.
 

Shannon Fitch (Ohio; 20th-21st century)

Shannon Fitch was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and attended the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP program, earning an undergrad in fine art and a masters in art education. Fitch’s work revolves around naturalistic elements with attention to detail, using pen and ink as a primary mode of artistic expression. Her work has been exhibited at the Contemporary Art Center, the Reed Gallery, and other additional shows throughout the city.
