Jacqueline Candura

Jacqueline Candura is a visual arts graduate from Ramapo College of New Jersey. She created her own independent study on graffiti art which inspired her to create abstract art using various colors and textures of spray paint.

Statement:
"I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one's inner life. And that too is a deed."

Kay Money

A pair of swans on a lake in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina started Kay on her journey of photography as an avocation. "I have always been an outdoor person. My interests include environmental issues, animal behavior, and wildlife rehabilitation." Kay's adventures include three years with the New Jersey Audubon Society and hundreds of volunteer hours at national wildlife refuges in New Mexico, California, Virginia and South Carolina.

In this show, Kay shares several of her favorite "critter" photographs including the two swans that originally inspired her and a few selected sunrise photos that she captured while wintering in Myrtle Beach. Kay also plays at digital art in the computer and will exhibit her one-of-a-kind "Fairy Dragons".

Kay's camera of choice is digital and she is challenged by the possibilities of computer-enhancement. All of Kay's signed, digital photographs are limited editions of 25 and printed on archival paper. A portfolio of Kay's work can be seen at www.swan-lake-gallery.com.

Daniel Walther

Daniel Walther teaches ceramics and fine arts at Fair Lawn high school. He holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in sclupture and is working towars an MA in ceramics from Koan University.

Statement:
"My ambition is to create work that marries the utilitarian functions of traditional ceramics with my own unique aesthetic style. My work is about finding the balance between craftsmanship and beauty."
