December 1, 2011 - January 29, 2012

With a background in scientific illustration, Melissa Wagner's work uses a variety of methods and media to engage the natural world and illuminate its earthly remnants. Through her work, Melissa strives to examine and magnify the disguised processes that envelope the living world while addressing issues concerning reproduction and the environment. Mixing the products of nature themselves with glossy synthetic resin coats, Melissa playfully composes her vision of a world that harnesses natural subjects to construct new models where art, earth, science, and wonder intersect. Melissa draws her inspiration from her love of nature and extensive local and global travels.

Since Hilary Williams first introduction to screen printing she has been enthralled by its graphic quality, bold colors, and the way it lends itself to layers. Hilary use collages of photography, drawing, painting, patterning to create layers of images and meaning. Her works deal with a variety of emotions about the coexistence of our urban landscape, nature and humanity. In creating screen prints she takes most of her own photographs, and each other stencil is created by hand, with ten to twenty layers stenciled and then printed on each piece. Her paintings are composed of layers of acrylic, screen printing and other mixed media materials.
