Tony SEaboltacrylic painter from Rock Island, IL
Tony Seabolt is a painter of over 30 years with a Fine Arts degree from Blackhawk College. He works in an abstract style that explores the visual relationships between music, meditation, and space/color relationships. “I enjoy giving the viewers something to contemplate and provoke their own imaginations,” says Seabolt of his vibrant series of paintings. His lyrical abstractions combine many aspects of recognizable forms to make each work seem familiar and bring out a reaction from the viewer.

Gary Beaumontceramist from Champaign, IL
Gary Beaumont became a ceramist after a 35-year career in Communications at the University of Illinois. His crystalline ceramics series comes from carefully crafting pieces with the goal of making something unique. His platters and tiles convey a sense of the spirit of humanity, made from earth and created in a uniquely artistic way. “I often think about early people sitting around a fire, discovering how heat made clay turn hard, and then shaping this clay into useful containers,” says Beaumont about his process. “Most importantly, they made their pots interesting to look at by adding color and texture and imagery. My goal is similar.”
