Jerilynn
Babroff - I
have worked with clay for many years-selling my work to stores and
galleries all over the world. I've been sold in Nordstroms and Marshall
Fields to name a few.
I love bringing out the fun and joyful side of life, being very influenced
by music and contemporary art. I have been working on some acrylic
paintings on canvas with the same fun feeling as my ceramics. babroffstudio@aol.com
Barneche
- Stephanie Barnes and David Seche Discover Barneche. In
the hamlet of Chichester, designers Stephanie Barnes and David Seche
co-create an enchanted shop inspired by the air, the light, the water
and the wood of the Catskill Mountains. Located in a 100-year old
barn a bit crooked, a bit whimsical, Barneche embraces a philosophy
of recycling and making sure things are made the old fashioned way,
by hand and really well. Stephanie’s custom clothing line feature
sumptuous fabrics, many of them vintage kimono and obi. Colors vibrate.
Textures resonate and clothing transforms into wearable works of art.
David crafts armoires, tables and other furniture from reclaimed wood,
some of it rescued from Stony Clove Stream just within babbling distance.
He hunts for the antique screws and hinges too.
Joel
Benton I have always had a love of the natural world and
after receiving my first camera as a gift at age fourteen, I gravitated
toward a photographic style that reflected this strong affinity to
nature. I feel the power of my photography is its capacity to show
people what they might otherwise overlook, bringing to life things
often considered by many to be mundane. I normally do not search out
subjects to photograph, and I very often have the distinct feeling
that my subjects find me. I am fascinated by natural light. Not only
in the many ways it serves us by illumination, but just the beauty
of light itself. It very often becomes the subject of my photographs.
I am a self-taught photographer, learning mainly through the experience
of just getting outside with the camera. Visit: www.sansho-photography.com
Durga
Bernhard- Durga Bernhard's artwork explores both personal
and archetypal imagery through contemporary techniques. Her themes
include birth and mothering, healing and transformation, animals and
nature, family and community, myth and dream, ritual, prayer . . .
and our beautiful Catskill mountains. Durga is the illustrator of
numerous children's books, and brings a variety of influences to her
work, including a strong grounding in rhythm and design, and a deep
love of African culture and Eastern and Western religion. Her experience
mothering three children has also shaped some of her most notable
works, which have been published in a variety of parenting venues.

- Faye Storms
I work in pastel and oil. Commissions accepted.Realism with a soft
edge .potraits and landscapes.started 30 years ago as an artist in
NYC and wandered into photography and set design and styling which
led me to interior design which led me back full circle to painting

Michael
Boyer I have been teaching ceramics for many years at Greenwich
House Pottery and Queens College and occasionally at City College
in New York City. In recent years I've been teaching a weekend workshop
at Sugar Maples in Maple Shade, N.Y. (outside of Hunter) My studio
is in the back of my barn in Pine Hill. My work is mostly high-fired
functional stoneware and porcelain to be used in the kitchen and on
the table. My other occupation is organic gardening.

wings is portrayed.

John
Byer Hello, I'm John Byer, a local artist and carpenter.
I am native to Phoenicia. I began my art training at Onteora Central
School when grades K thru 12 were housed at the now Middle-High School
building. The Woodstock artist community had a major influence on
the art program at Onteora. I continued my education at SUNY New Paltz,
graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Ed. My early work
was mainly in ceramic sculpture. My long career as a carpenter has
made wood the primary material in my sculpture. I also incorporate
bone, beads, antlers and most recently stone in my work. I look forward
to the 2009 artist tour and welcome all to view my works-in-progress
as well as my completed sculptures.

Dave
Channon - I recently had a large solo exhibition of paintings
and outdoor sculptures at Stone Barns, an 80 acre Rockefeller research
institute near Tarrytown in Westchester, and in the Kinston Biennial
in Rotary and Hasbrouck parks at Kingston Point. My 12 foot tall welded
steel woman archer, Athena Calico, is installed at the Gallicurci
Mansion in Highmount and can be viewed by the public.
I
was apprentice to Joseph Cornell back in my high school days. After
college, I worked in fine art silkscreen printing, doing hand drawn
color separations for Red Grooms, Phillip Guston, Keith Haring, Robert
Indiana, Pablo and Paloma Picasso. I have exhibited in the Brooklyn
Museum, the Venice Biennale, Franklin Furnace, The New Museum, and
numerous NY galleries. There was a period where I made gigantic inflating
sculptures and got written up in the Sunday New York Times, Art in
America, and New York magazine. Today I do illustration, website design,
video production, welded steel sculptures, and grow lots of tasty
vegetables. To see more of my artwork, visit: www.esopuscreek.com
I also do a lively art review of the shows at The Arts Upstairs, known
as the ART SAFARI.
Check it out. (I made this website, too.)

Patricia Charnay - Living most of my life in an urban environment
and yearning to be in the country, I moved to the Catskill Mountains.
The contact with nature fills me with wonder for the peace that I
need to connect with my inner reality and express it through my work.

Shalom
Gorewitz I’ve been working as an electronic imagist
with video and computers since the late 1960’s. During the 1970’s
I was a frequent guest at Laneville’s Videofreex/Media Bus facility
and during the 1980’s at Owego’s Experimental TV Center.
For the past 20+ years I’ve had a personal studio in Chichester
where I edit, process, and make soundtracks for digital films, as
well as create digital prints and paintings. Audio and visuals often
reflect environmental and political concerns. Last year a bear showed
up. Dave- are bears allowed on the tour? www.gorewitz.com

Wendy
Grossman Owner and designer of Studio 78, Wendy has been
a working artist since the age of 15. She has taught at the School
of Visual Arts for ten years. She has worked in all media including
fabric, wood and clay. Because of this diversity, she brings with
her an understanding of how home furnishing can blend , meld. Needing
to flow in creative and unique way. Wendy is very conscious of the
planet and chooses to use only products that are made from non -threatened
trees and recyclable products. To this end she can hold her head up
high in the area of art and life, knowing she has done her best to
contribute and not to detract.If the product is not affordable, its
not sustainable. Wendy employs only local help and wants to promote
a healthy environment in which to hire in her community and not be
swayed by the lore of cheep labor overseas. Most of her furniture
is designed and manufactured by local cabinet makers with accent pieces
made in the United States.
Her works reflects her attitude of keeping a positive outlook on life
and encouraging growth both spiritual and economic in harmony with
her surroundings. Wendy would also like to send a special thank you
to her mom for helping Studio 78 be what it is today. Peace and love.

Peggy
Kay Making photos give me the freedom to question and respond
freely with intention. My formal studies have been in synesthetic
education, early childhood education, dance, photography, social work
and psychotherapy. I am pulled by human nature life/death, the confrontations
and beauty around me. I will be showing photographic masks and macro
studies of plants and flowers that have been made by a digital camera
and processed with the mac computer.

Dakota
Lane First
off--Dakota Lane is planning to lure in visitors with exotic snacks.
She is an untrained painter and photographer whose work has been informed
by fashion, Japanese dark cute movements and nature. As an award-winning
novelist, she has found expression in visual arts only recently, with
her work exhibited in solo and group shows and her semi-documentary
photographs of teens, collected in the Simon & Schuster publication
THE SECRET LIFE OF IT GIRLS (2007). She had the great honor of being
in the presence of HH the Dalai Lama and His Holiness the 17th Karmapa,
and will be offering three images from these meetings. Website:http://www.myspace.com/itgirl16
Lucy
Lasky I
have lived in Chichester on weekends for the past 30 years. One day,
I hope to live here full time. During the week, I am the Director
of a Child Care Center in Harlem. I love to travel and find that my
travel is enhanced by my love of photography. Or is it the other way
around? I take pictures of interesting faces, architecture and in
the last year, I have discovered the inner beauty of plants and flowers.
I have also been discovering the art of Digital Photography both through
the lens and through the computer.
Ken
Lovelett I am a musician that has been building sound sculpture
since 1969. This is an art form that not many people in this country
are familiar with but is gaining greater recognition and acceptance
much the same way photography has over the many years. The pieces
that I make are one of a kind and eventually each one is recorded
as a solo performance as well as with an ensemble called " The
Sonic Liberation Orchesrtra". Many of my creations have been
written about or featured in publications here and abroad. The"
Sonart Gallery " is a building that I am renovating to showcase
not only my work but that of my cohorts around the globe. It will
also feature " musicians that are artists as well as artists
that are musicians." Dealing with this dichotomy to me is very
interesting. Thanks, Ken Lovelett
