Jeanne Fashempour - I have been an artist all my life, commercial, graphic, designer, teacher. I am currently focused on encaustic art, both painting, collage and photo encaustic, focusing on experimentation with the media and its many effects. It’s an amazing and versatile medium. I do exhibit and have won first place as well as group first. My goal is to introduce the Encaustic medium to the general public Who have never seen it.,
Robert Putka graduated from Kent State University in 1975 with a B.F.A. in art education. Robert taught art and theatre for 46 years at Stow Munroe Falls High School. He taught A.P. Drawing, preparing student portfolios, and assisting with college placement, as well as designing, painting and decorating theatrical sets. He has worked in surface design in the form of batik, but has always painted in watercolor, acrylic, and oils, with an emphasis in landscape painting, and in particular, revels in pleinaire painting when able. His canvases are teeming with life, movement and bursting with color filled with activity from edge to edge. Robert's paintings are in numerous collections, and has exhibited his work earlier in his career at the Cleveland Museum of Art May Show, the Massillon Museum, and the Butler Institute of Art. Recently, his work has been seen at "Dualities" at Kent State University School of Art, the Floral and Landscape Show at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center, The Lakeland Juried Art Show, Fairmount Center for the Arts juried Show, The Mansfield Art Center's May Show, The Kaleidoscope Juried Show at Summitartspace, Tending the Garden at Kent State University Stark, The Forest Calls at The Geauga Parks Visitors Center, and the upcoming Butler Institute of American Art National Midyear Show this summer.
