Jenny Henley was born in Jacksonville Florida, then moved to Atlanta to attend and graduate from the Atlanta College of Art, quickly progressing into living as a professional artist. She has won prestigious awards including Women in Design at Elle Décor, Cooper-Hewitt and from National Design Museum. Jenny has been a part of Atlanta’s community art organizations including being one of the original founders i45 and is the founder of the First Friday Art Walk Marietta Square. Working with a methodology that embraces sculptural practices in a painting framework,Henley attempt to reconcile ideas of technology, formal aesthetics and time. Typically she uses recognizable imagery, appropriate for an audience familiar with contemporary notions of art; yet fused to a slightly nostalgic sensibility. Inherently luxurious, the glossy surfaces she creates allow her to create a hard, impenetrable, and thereby fixed and eternal work (she is concerned with time and viewer observation/commitment), but are also sly comments on the social markers that surround art, and art making. Joanie Muhlfelder and her husband Todd are both the artists and designers of jewelry featuring sterling silver and 14 karat gold accented with precious and semi-precious gemstones. Meticulously created using an exclusive artisanal technique they established in 1985, their pieces are wearable art for fashion and art enthusiasts alike. Handcrafted in their workshop in the small Ohio town where they reside, they are often creating unique one of kind pieces upon request in their home workshop or traveling throughout the year to fine art shows in the Midwest and Southeast. Joanie and Todd are grandparents to Wesleyan student Addy Kate Dusang and enjoy pariticipating in the Wesleyan Artist Market each year to support their granddaughter and the Fine Arts programs at Wesleyan. For their four children, two daughters and one son in the Atlanta area and a daughter in Denver, art has always been an essential and integral part of their family. Joanie and Todd, as grandparents to five grandchildren, aspire to continue cultivating the importance of the Fine Arts. Kellie Montana grew up in rural south Tennessee, where she learned to love the outdoors, square dance and dream big. She says: “I dreamed about pretty things, big cities and an even bigger world that I would someday see. I saw that big world and settled in heart of Music City- Nashville. I am a country girl living a simple urban life. My personality is big and my gratitude for my place in this world even bigger. I share my life with my one great love who gives me a million reasons to smile. My life has been a journey that has brought me many lessons that have served to teach me much about joy, love, hope and forgiveness, the ULTIMATE pretty things. My art is a representation of that journeylayered, bold, fun and full of spirit.”
