Alex ParadowskiAlex Paradowski began his career as a graphic artist working for clients to communicate their messages to diverse audiences. Since then, he has taken that experience into his personal work giving him the freedom to explore a variety of mixed media. He combines wood, enamel, fabrics, paper, and other materials to create his images. The work on display combines paper making and mosaics with digital photography techniques to create mosaics from hand cast paper cubes. Paradowski states, “These mosaics seem to have two realities – a colorful abstract when viewed close and photographic reality when viewed from a distance.” Several of Paradowski’s tissue paper collages will also be on display.

Deanne RowDeanne Row is a certified picture framer and museum display builder that took to creating assemblage pieces and sculpture as an outlet for stress and frustration. The sculptures are created through the building up of layer upon layer of words and images then cutting, scraping, burning, sanding, and carving the form down into the finished character. Her work utilizes the visual and structural vocabulary of the torn paper and found materials to explore how memories and small moments in time make us who we are. “Put most simply, my work explores the effects of nature and nurture, on both the psyche and the physical body,” says Row.
