As my work shifts away from deciphering my curiosity of domestic space, I have become increasingly fixed on what slash who occupies these spaces. Manifested from a love for lamps, many of

“As I engage with the variety of communities across Alaska through my craft as a weaver I hope to share this knowledge, joy and passion through a series of weaving demonstrations, speaking engagements as well as weaving workshops. It’s my hope.. to engage with the community by sharing my art and craft in as many ways as possible.” – Laine Rinehart

“Raven Stole the Stars, Raven Stole My Heart is a collection of prints that I have created through my process of self reflection and growth. I am Denaakk’e Koyukon Athabaskan and Lingít, more specifically Raven/ Dog Salmon clan or sukteeneidí. My show title reflects a well known Tlingit story about Raven stealing the sun; in the context of Raven stealing my heart, it is meant to represent myself and my own agency in regards to the choices I make and associated consequences.” – Ethan Kayaaní

“Mountains of bare rock, like those on the north side of the Brooks Range, interest me, since devoid of trees, the mountains show their geological journey. In my paintings I always have tried to be true to the land’s geological story, showing the layers and shapes of rocks as they exist today. But the geological history—dating of layers, push of plates, classifying of rocks and minerals—is too linear an understanding and does not capture the experience of sitting before a mountain and looking.

“My work embodies playfulness, communicating meaning through perspective and relationships. Inspired by interconnected environments and organisms, my pieces reveal stories through interaction—a decoration under a handle, inside a vessel, or clues on the bottom. My functional vessels encourage use, echoing a message of reciprocity with nature: care for it, and it will nourish us." more

“There are many things that I am inspired by: old New England tobacco barns, the color of honey, glacial ice, Sung Dynasty pottery, Native Alaskan ivory bird carvings, children’s book illustrators such as Harrison Cady, Tasha Tudor and Jerry Pinkney, Danish furniture, cooking, dodo birds, redpolls, the work of French automobile body designers the 1930s and 40s such as Gabriel Voisin and Jacques Soutchik.…. As I am working in the studio, my interests blend together and emerge within the world of

“In the past year, I have moved between two vastly different environments – a woodworking fellowship in urban Philadelphia and my home studio outside of Fairbanks – and been imprinted with their unique visual energies and abundant sound. Recent pieces convey the shaking of elevated trains, the buzz of insects and heat rising from a weed-infested ditch, urban demolition and construction, endless traffic and the places where nature breaks through human control. I’ve applied the same attention to

“My pottery is made to be used and enjoyed in the home, and each piece is deeply inspired by the natural world. My love for nature began in my adolescence, working at a local Michigan nature preserve—a formative experience that continues to shape my creative vision. To this day, I spend countless hours observing animals, studying plants, and exploring geology, drawing endless inspiration from the living landscapes around me. Using my passion for carving and drawing, I strive to capture the essence

"My paintings reflect the tenacity of an Alaskan summer, autumn’s brilliant demise, winter’s seemingly impossible unraveling, and the amazements of spring. This body of work emphasizes the endless details, changing seasons, and everyday beauty here in the North.” more.

“My creativity and life stories are expressed with coastal marine themes that capture the wild beauty of my home, Alaska. Encaustic is my material of choice – a blend of beeswax, damar crystals and pigment – often using charts, scraps of paper and found objects that are embedded in the wax medium. I draw upon first-hand experiences of fishing, its dangers and excitement." more.

“Every time I pick up a limpet shell I marvel at its compact form with its subtle shifting curves and endless variety of striations and ribs. Their color, pattern and textures layered in an inimitable way that strains my greedy eyes. I love to pinch them out of clay and this activity brings me great pleasure. The barnacle on the other hand populates surfaces with a multitude of jagged and clustered forms. Duplex, quadraplex, high rise insanity their variation of sizes clustered together suggest

"When I received the invitation from Megan Murphy to collaborate on creating the images for this book, "The Inner Garden," I was both honored and nervous to accept the offer. As a working mother, artmaking had become less and less a priority in my life. Simultaneously, I began to feel like I was losing my artist identity and felt shame, even embarrassment, when referring to myself as an artist. Megan’s invitation to collaborate on this project has helped me remember and realize the importance of

“The space we knew as our subsistence camp near Nome, Alaska, has been altered by climate change and was washed away by Typhoon Merbok. This work connects past, present, and future Inupiat and records our stories from fish camp, recording what climate change hasn’t erased – our ties to each other and the memories of place.” more...

Sean Derry spent the past two summers on the southside of Kachemak Bay carefully deconstructing a homesteading cabin dating from Alaska’s statehood. He has transformed the artifacts and materials from the cabin into a new collection of artworks. Sean hopes the project promotes a form of migration that lacks the injuries of colonization. “Key to this ideal is accepting the knowledge already present in a location and remaining mindful of how one’s presence alters the identity of a place. I hope that

Peat is a substance of slow growth and deep time. The soggy layers of rich soil hold thousands of years of frog songs, moose tracks and the subtle work of sedge and moss that draw carbon from the air and lay it down in blankets of spongy earth. On behalf of the wild nature that flourishes in these special wetlands, I am exploring an emerging side of my artistic voice, expanding my science illustration into a realm of impression and imagination. more...

“In Memory of…” offers space for reflection and to honor the people, places and experiences that shape us. The theme invites expression of grief and loss, as well as of joy and love. Variations and interpretations might include retablos, paintings, altars, constructions, mementos mori, or other works. more...

“Being creative is extremely important to me. It’s my passion, my life’s work and how I contribute to my community. The images, subjects and narratives in my art stitch together my experiences of family, music, pottery, agriculture and love as a stay-at-home father of two and a part-time farmer. I also play music on a regular basis. My hope is that my work communicates my passions and inspires others to create from their own experiences." more.
