Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. through April 9,

Artists Bios

=20

Jean Balbin's works as a legal secretary in a Cleveland law firm. As an
artist, her work is vividly representational and genuinely interpretive
at the same time.  Her entries in this exhibit,  "Vast Horizons,"
"Country Lane," "Storm Rising," "Lively Floral," "River of Fire," and
"Ending Storm" exemplify some of her best landscape work.

=20

George Kocar is retired from American Greetings. His work is pointedly
satirical softened by an obvious love for his subjects. George is
President of the Northern Ohio Illustrator's Society, and his work is
widely shown in the region, and seen in national magazines and
newspapers as illustrations. His pieces in this show, "Railbirds,"
"Three from Oz," and "Monet Reflection" are excellent examples of his
mature style.

=20

Denise Telep is Associate Director of Come Create Cleveland, she also
teaches lessons and presents events around Cleveland. Her work is deftly
evocative of everyday life without being in any way mundane. Her "Woman
With Water" piece in this show demonstrates her sure touch.

=20

Storm Thorgerson is an artist in London, England world-famous for the
images he's designed as album covers for such groups as Pink Floyd, Led
Zeppelin, 10cc, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, The Cranberries, and, most
recently, Muse. His work seems classically iconic after 40 years of
creating classic rock and roll icons. The two signed posters in this
show illustrate his sense of humor on the one hand, in "Smell the
Music," and his sense of history, with the cover from Pink Floyd's
"Echoes" greatest hits album, on the other.

=20

Adrienne Younger is a Cleveland artist whose work is widely shown. She
captures moments both serious and whimsical with elegance and panache.
Her "Woman with Beads" in this show is a good example of the economy of
line and delicacy of detail characteristic of her style.
