CLAIBORNE RILEY Tell us about your most recent collection.   This body of work has really been a true exploration of place. It has been almost two years since my last show and the work exemplifies my varied explorations throughout that time. It is a study in design and motion on some level- and relates to […]

PAM SUTHERLAND Tell us about your most recent collection.   These collages were inspired by, and made of, my Collegiate students’ paint palettes.

SARAH GAYLE CARTER Tell us about yourself.   I’m a designer, turned painter. I’m a native Richmonder, now living in Lexington Va. I’m an old-ish lady discovering a new career when I thought I’d be puttering about. I’m a life long “seeker of wisdom and truth” (as the old song goes), who’s now pretty sure it’s […]
