Eileen "Ikie" Nolan Kressel will be showing prints. Her primary medium is the subtractive linoleum cut, a method that allows for several colors to be pulled from a single block. The print is gradually revealed.  The entire piece is not finished until the final run and last color is rolled through the press. “The outcome is anticipated with the fear of seeing a mistake and the exhilaration of success.”  Her other printmaking medium is intaglio. Together the etchings and lino-cuts provide the broad voice for that which goes on around her.  Her artwork is derived from relationships and personal life experiences. It reflects her life and those around her.

        Nicky Falkenhayn is a sculptor and jeweler. Her work often combines fine knitted metal wire with heavy welded steel structures.  Growing up in a small conservative village in Switzerland, where only boys could participate in wood and metal work, she became skilled in knitting and sewing. That has grown into her study of welding and metal techniques.  Falkenhayn explores issues of identity, duality and aesthetics. “In my surge for harmony in relationships I am asking people to take a look at the roles we play as men and woman on this earth. I use subjects from my own life experience and family history to show society an image of itself.”
