Anya Pany Simpson

Visual Arts: Illustration

Anya Pany’s love affair with creating bold, courageous art started as a child in Ukraine. She pursued training in the visual arts, but there was always a special place in her heart for illustration. There was something about the magic of taking pen and pencil to an empty sheet of paper that has stayed with Anya Pany throughout her life. In 1999, Anya Pany moved to the United States to attend college. That dramatic shift in culture found it’s way into her artwork, and the duality of combining the two worlds shaped her artistic vision. One can recognize a mixture of East European folklore motifs and traditional Native American patterns in Anya’s work. As she’s matured as an artist, the use of primary colors, geometric shapes and whimsical subjects have become a staple of her work.

Kelly Patrick

Visual Arts: Functional and/or Decorative, Jewelry, Textiles

As an answer to the part of my brain/pysche that was feeling completely left out in science and needing to be expressed, I began weaving which led expanding into other fiber arts. When I was a child and into high school I’d been interested in drawing but never had any training, so it was dropped until, as an adult, I have taken the periodic class- I do enjoy it, but definitely need to train my hand and brain! I also enjoy making jewelry and playing with the juxtaposition of colors (as in my fiber art). I have primarily focused on functional art and would like to develop my display art pursuits, as well.
