Monique Rijnkels

Born in the Netherlands some 4 decades ago, she has been fascinated with photography and images ever since she was a little girl and has been taking photographs from the time she bought her first camera at age 15. In 1995 she moved to the USA to work as a biomedical researcher and has been using photography as a serious creative outlet for the past 6 years. She has been attending the Glassell School of Art. Her work has been shown in several group exhibits. With her photographs she wants to capture the beauty in the overlooked and unusual in our daily lives. Be it fish die-offs in California, deconstructed gas stations in Houston, images passed by daily, light reflections on walls and objects around us, or dryer lint.

Jim Trivelpiece

I am a photographer living and working in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.  I am also a psychotherapist.  I have photographed for as long as I can remember.  My first camera was a Kodak Brownie box camera using 640 format film.
I have learned that as humans we are used to fending off information others tell us.  But, as a therapist, and as a photographer, I have found that it is harder for us to fend off information that others show us.  So, I am showing you images that express a personal grief about our treatment of the environment.  They may not be attractive or beautiful, but I am hoping that showing the wounded parts of our soul and our planet can lead to healing.

Gerrell Crichton

As an artist, I use photographic and digital mediums for both gallery exhibition and community-based collaboration. Most recently, my working process has involved domestic experiments that I call “little disasters.” The resulting images are abstract reflections of larger disasters that are sometimes difficult to grasp; through experiments in my kitchen, I seek relationship and metaphor for events and conditions in the world that are more often represented by documentary realism.

Mark Adams

Mark Adams is a photographic artist who was born in Birmingham, England in 1971. His interest in photography began at high school and developed throughout his art school education, which included a broad study of the visual arts in subjects including Graphic Design, Illustration and Moving Image. He achieved a Masters degree at the Royal College of Art in 2001, where he studied under professors Russell Mills, Andrzej Klimowski and David Cross.

Mark Adams worked while studying, as a professional photographer in the publishing industry, producing book cover photographs for contemporary writers such as Paul Auster and William Trevor. Since moving to California in 2002, the focus of his photography has moved towards color landscape and street photography influenced by the work of the New Topographic Landscape photographers such as Paul Graham, Robert Adams and Frank Gohlke. His work explores man-altered landscapes that examine the contradictions between erosion and an optimistic American view of progress. His subjects include new housing developments, expired industrial sites and small towns on the periphery of urban sprawl. People are often absent from these locations, yet the photographs reveal the effects of mans intervention.

Mark Adams has exhibited in the United States and England, participating in group shows at the Contemporary Artists Center, Massachusetts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, amongst others. He has published in contemporary photography magazines and received the Chris Garnham Award for Photography from the Royal College of Art. More recently he received an honorable mention at the International Photography Awards.

Born in New York City, Sheri Lynn Behr is best known for her classic rock and roll images. These photographs have appeared in many well-known music publications and are now also exhibited and purchased as fine art photographs. She transitioned from shooting performers on assignment to personal work, which sent her on a journey that has included at times documentation, interpretation and/or transformation of images.  These explorations have led to a merging of photographic and digital technology. She has studied photography at The New School, SVA and ICP, and her instructors have included Benedict J. Fernandez and Lauren Greenfield.
