Celia Gray

June

September

These two encaustic paintings were created by Celia Gray, but this Asheville artist is well-versed in other craft disciplines such as blacksmithing, fiber arts, and metal-smithing. A two year student of Penland School of Crafts, Gray's work combines traditional methods with contemporary aesthetics.
Look for Gray's belt buckles and jewelry at The Big Crafty on July 12 and her encaustic paintings at Blue Spiral 1 next fall.

Shannon Plumb

The New York Times last Friday compared performance/video artist Shannon Plumb to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin in their rave review about her work and the work of other contemporary female videographers. This video is just a teeny taste of her charisma and talent. To see lots more amazing and funny stuff visit her website: www.shannonplumb.com Posted there are excerpts from her most recent project "The Park" that are well worth checking out.
Oh, and I went to college with her!
