AUGUST 11-26, 2023

Sarah Marshall is a visual artist interested in language, history, science, and the natural world. Using printmaking, photography, and drawing, she blends observable reality with belief, imaginary stories, and memory. Sarah earned a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, then an MA and MFA from The University of Iowa. She currently lives and works in Tuscaloosa, where she coordinates the printmaking program at The University of Alabama. She is a member of the Paperworkers Local print co-operative in Birmingham and has participated in workshops and residencies at the Taller de Gráfica Experimental de La Habana, the Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium, Tamarind Institute, Penland School of Craft, and Arrowmont School of Art and Craft.

Catherine Nelson is a sculptor and installation artist originally from Shreveport, LA. Curious about materials and their origins in the landscape, she collects, observes, and composes using wood, natural dyes, metals, found objects, and drawings. She received her BA in Visual Art, Art History, and Spanish at Duke University and her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Connecticut.  She has exhibited across the US and internationally, most recently at BronxArtSpace in New York, NY; Ely Center for Contemporary Art in New Haven, CT; and the Kniznick Gallery at Brandeis University. 

Tara Stallworth Lee makes photographs, paper, books, and collages. Expansion of human dignity and the significance of the natural world are important themes throughout her work. Stallworth Lee received her BS in Psychology with a minor in Art from Birmingham-Southern College. She is an artist-collaborator at Studio By The Tracks in Birmingham, a studio and gallery for adult artists with autism, and is the 2021-2022 recipient of the Alabama State Council on the Arts Gay Burke Fellowship in Photographic Art. Stallworth Lee lives and works in Birmingham, Alabama where she is an art educator and resident artist at Ground Floor Contemporary.
