ARTIST BIOS & STATEMENTS
Jamie Anne Karolich of JAK Handmade says of her work, "As a maker, my interest liesi n the process implemented to achieve an end product. Function and form have a large influence on my work. Currently my focus lies in experimenting with various techniques to create a balance between my love of knitting and printing. Formally trained as a Printmaker, my work is not limited to printmaking. I would consider myself a non-traditional printmaker. Using techniques that are historic in process but the end result is not."

Arashi Shibori and discharging techniquest on hand-dyed silk are my favorites for creating wearable art."

Cricket Press translates their illustrations through the hand-printed processes of letterpress and screen-printing. When they’re not ruining their clothes slinging ink on paper, Cricket Press also spends time on numerous design and illustration projects, as well as making various hand-printed goods and hand-crafted items.
Linda Fugate-Blumer is a photographer and mixed media artist living in Lexington, KY. She photographs a variety of subjects and combines the images with other materials to create mixed media. Of her work she says, "I am a picture-taker and a collector of stuff. I capture images with my camera and I create mixed media by combining photographs, handmade paper, encaustic, and collected stuff. I create, therefore, I am an artist."
Sarah Heller is a Kentucky artist/California-licensed architect. Architecture and painting to her are synonymous. She has worked as an architect for 10 years in Los Angeles and in the field internationally, in the process embracing the necessity of incorporating sustainable materials and practices into our built environment. She now applies these lessons and materials in her work as a visual artist. Of her work she says, "Currently, the way in which we consume and dispose of materials is chaotic and unsustainable. The body of my work brings together people with what they have abandoned. Living in urban and suburban societies, nature becomes what is outside the door – often far from the pastoral ideal of grassy slopes, and more often, the concrete streets and alley ways, littered with discarded objects.
