 Sheila Isham
Sheila Isham's large-scale oils on canvas approach themes of mortality and mythology. Bull imagery symbolizes strength, safety and camaraderie. "The mythology and aesthetics of Hinduism, which revere the bull--the ancient symbol of man--are a recurring theme in [my] work, and inspire the paintings." Isham received artistic training in the United States, Switzerland and Hong Kong. Her work belongs to many museum and gallery collections including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Yale University Art Gallery. |

Pamella Allen
Pamella Allen's latest series of works titled My Hieroglyphic "consists of images that come from the cave of human existence and out of the chaos of my memory." Ambiguous silhouettes of the body have multi-leveled meaning; is it a figure or a flower? Is it a mango or a portrait? Jamaican-born Allen studied in France and New York, and has exhibited her work throughout Manhattan.

Rebecca Weinstein
The ancient cities of India and the clear skies of southwest America attract the eye of Rebecca Weinstein, whose fascination with people and their land evidences itself in her color photographs. "Photography allows me to capture details that speak to me…I continue to photograph people and places that are distinct and that evoke something unique, experienced at a precise moment." Weinstein received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her work belongs to the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Hetrick Martin Institute and the New York Public Library.

Harker is an illustrator of children's books for Scholastic Publishing, and has exhibited his paintings in California and New York.

 Fred Bendheim
Fred Bendheim views his painting process as more of a ritual than a rendering. His Mandala Series focuses on the construction of a spiritual system. "What really interests me about these images is that they seem to be less about the ego and more about a bigger consciousness than conventional art." Bendheim studied in California, and has exhibited his work in galleries throughout New York.
