Seth Fairweather graduated from Alfred University with honors and a BFA in Sculpture and Three Dimensional Studies. He went on to receive a MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. He has worked across the country, both fabricating for other people, and developing his own artwork. He has taught at private studios, public access studios, and at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. He is currently heading the glass program at Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix, AZ, as well as furthering his own creative research.
Anthony Liggins is an abstract expressionist influenced by world cultures, rhythms of music, and emotions of dance. His paintings represent a spiritual journey of the enlightened mind, heart and spirit. In addition to galleries, his work can be found in 700 public and private collections around the world. His artwork has been exhibited in the US and Europe at highly-regarded venues, including the Smithsonian Institute, Oakland Museum, Longmont Museum, Michener Art Museum, and the Museo Americano.
Theodore T. Gall began his career in the arts in the mid-sixties as an animator for teaching films and has been working in metal since his early days as an artist. Although his work has not been limited to the human form, it has been his primary focus throughout his career. His compelling figures are most often placed in thought-provoking situations. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art and has served as consultant to the Art Institute and the Illinois Arts Council.
