Using found metal scraps, Don Chambers encourages the natural process of rusting, incorporating this rust as a media into paintings and drawings. A long-time Athens resident, Don Chambers is well known as a local musician and artist. He earned an MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art. Chambers teaches at the University of Georgia, Athens Technical College, and Common Good Atlanta.

Derek Faust’s assemblages utilize collected road debris such as broken glass and displaced car parts resulting in sculpture with multiple underlying metaphors. Faust, who earned his MFA from Georgia State University is an Art Studio Manager at the Lamar Dodd School of Art.

Alex McClay is a graduate student in the Printmaking and Book Arts MFA program at the Lamar Dodd School of Art.  McClay utilizes a variety of unusual materials, such as emergency blankets, surveyor’s tape, boundary marking flags, and hot pink mason line, to explore various aspects of communication.

Katherine McCullough received her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2011 and her BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art in Painting in 2009. She has exhibited in both solo and group shows at various venues in St. Louis. Since returning to Athens in 2014, she has exhibited locally at Trio Contemporary, KA Artist Shop and Gallery, and the Lyndon House Juried Exhibitions. Her abstract images, created with a skilled hand and a designer’s eye for color, evoke a sense of open space.

Paula Reynaldi, is a sculptor, installation artist and art educator based in Athens, Georgia. She is a current graduate student at the Lamar Dodd School of Art and creates organic shapes from masking tape. Both the forms, resembling honeycombs, and the material are familiar but the scale and the presentation are novel and innovative. Reynaldi was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she studied music.
