	becki banet lucas August 27, 2007 – October 8, 2007 www.preciousmettlesart.com Media: Sculptural Copper Textile Becki’s edgy work uses timeless tools of imagination, heat and origami to manipulate the organic qualities of copper textile. Creating its own backdrop of shadow and light, the work spreads copper’s iridescent color palette to communicate themes and emotions of warmth and light in artwork that converts space into place.
	Laura LaForge October 8, 2007 – November 19, 2007 www.lauralaforge.com Media: Acrylic Paint Laura’s paintings are rarely what you see on the surface leaving many concepts to the audience’s imagination. She is especially sensitive to colors that float and expand yet are calculated allowing a sense of grounded escape for both the artist and the viewer.

	Douglas David March 3, 2008 – April 14, 2008 www.douglasdavid.com Media: Paint Douglas David has been drawn to paint things he loves, subjects with timeless, natural beauty; subjects that lend themselves to his effortless, natural style – peonies, lilacs, familiar landscapes and seascapes.
