Claudine Metrick’s paintings and ink drawings use conventions of both western and eastern sacred art. The Flutter series incorporates images of birds on wood panels with precious materials, including beads and food to evoke opulence and reference avian habits of collecting materials for nidification, and portray bird song either written in longhand notation or translated into visual bytes of Morse Code. Claudine Metrick graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University with a BFA in painting.

Window Dressing is a collection of images photographed through store windows that take the viewer inside the window, yet capture the outer world as well. The photographs make art out of everyday life while retaining a sense of whimsy and appreciation for the handiwork of others. Artist and photographer Regina Eliot-Ramsey holds degrees in music and art history from the New England Conservatory of Music and Simmons College, and was awarded a two year traveling fellowship to study art at the Academie de’ Belle Arte in Florence, Italy and the Kyoto School of Art in Japan.
