LISA WEISS
Lisa Weiss’ work is about mark making, patterning, spontaneous movement, momentary awareness and paring down to essentials. She is continually looking for ways to detach from the past and future with a focus on the here and now. Weiss’ paintings are process driven by movement, repetition, materials and place. Her works are for beauty and contemplation.
BRANDON REESE
Brandon Reese’s focus on experimentation and varying techniques relates to his belief that the best part of life is the process, “My art wears the fingerprints, cuts, dents and other texturing as a roadmap and documentation of its creation.” He works primarily with stoneware and porcelain. Reese’s most recent pieces combine salt glazed stoneware and reclaimed native wood. His work is predominately known for its simple, familiar forms created in a variety of methods and at such large scales that the pieces push the traditional boundaries of ceramic art.
ALAN ALLDREDGE
Alan Alldredge investigates processual abstraction with flowing pathways of texture, reflection and illusion. Taking cues from the natural world, he aims to reinforce the belief that beauty is part of the sacred through his work. Alldredge’s “cast monoprints” force him to surrender to the process. Through the work’s meditative visuals and complex origins, he seeks to create a transcendent sacred object for the viewer.
DOUG FREED
Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields.

IN RESIDENCE: SUE WEBSTER
When an entire residential road lost power and an eight-foot sinkhole opened up in the street, the north London council of Hackney could no longer turn a blind eye to the rumours surrounding the ‘mole man house’—a property owned by notorious amateur tunneller William Lyttle.
JERI LEDBETTER
Jeri Ledbetter is inspired and compelled both by nature’s oddities and man-made structures. She is enthralled with the contrast of, and interplay between, industry and nature. Ledbetter lets her paint and pencil decide the course of her piece; she does not want the involuntary and free hand to be controlled by a plan and scheme. Through her work she embraces the accidental, the surprises.
MINERALS
Exhibit by Aberson has been searching for and acquiring minerals from around the world. A fusion of design and primitive form, they are hand-selected to add texture and interest to spaces.

AN ARTIST WHO TRANSFORMS WHO TRANSFORMS PAINTINGS INTO COSMIC SCULPTURES
Delicate jet-black brush strokes pattern the pastel surfaces of Zilia Sánchez’s work like tattoos on human skin. The canvases themselves seem to contract and expand, as if breathing.
DOUBLE CRUMB CRUMB CAKE
We identified a problem: The best part of a crumb cake is, without fail, the crunchy-sweet topping. So we dreamed up a solution: a cake that’s equal parts crumb and cake.

JULIE SNEED
Julie Sneed was born in Saint Benedict, Kansas and has returned to Kansas recently with her husband and daughter. Her focus on contemporary art showcases her life on a cattle ranch with figural paintings of livestock, accompanied by abstract depictions of other spaces. She utilizes gestural brushstrokes, texture and muted colors throughout her works.
HUNT SLONEM
Inspired by nature and his 60 pet birds, Hunt Slonem is renowned for his distinct neo-expressionist style. He is best known for his series of bunnies, butterflies and tropical birds, as well as his large-scale sculptures and restorations of forgotten historic homes. Slonem’s works can be found in the permanent collections of 250 museums around the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Whitney, the Miro Foundation and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
TAELOR FISHER
I find great inspiration in the natural world, and consider flowers especially stirring. I expressively marry shapes, colors, and scents of my favorite blooms, which produce lush, colorful, and charmingly chaotic compositions. Every painting starts with flowers. But, it is then what intrigues me at the moment that helps the piece take shape. This can be anything from decor curated by a designer, to current trends in fashion, to a color accidentally mixed on my palette. My paintings are not about ME. They are about where they might live. I want my work to be loved and cherished. Thus, my heart and soul is poured into each piece as I create.

THIS WASHINGTON D.C. HOME IS A LESSON IN THE POWER OF CONTRASTS
Architect Carmel Greer spearheaded the construction of her family’s new home, located directly next door from where they once lived.
BLACK AND WHITE GREEN COOKIES
This is a play on two of our favorite classics: the Thin Mint and New York City’s iconic black-and-white cookie. But here we’re upping the game with finely chopped fresh mint mixed right into the dough for both its lovely green color and fresher-than-Dentyne flavor. Then comes the drama: geometric swipes of white sanding sugar and dark melted chocolate. The mint flavor will intensify as the cookies sit; make ahead if that’s your thing.
BETTER THAN CELERY JUICE
Celery juice—all the rage! But still kind of a hard sell. With apple, parsley, apple cider vinegar, and a dusting of black pepper, things start to get interesting. Better yet: It also tastes good with gin.
INSIDE A SAND DUNE CONVERTED INTO AN OCEANFRONT HOME
This stunning pair of symmetrical loft homes is built into a sand dune, complete with a vibrant, living exterior.
