Native New Yorker, Joan Hall, began her art training at an early age. Her artist parents enrolled her in classes at Pratt Institute and The Brooklyn Museum Art School. However, Joan's interests led her to dance and she attended Juilliard School of Music. After flunking ballet, she received commissions for set design, and went to Holland to work with the Nederlands Dance Theatre. Upon returning to NYC she also worked with the American Mime Theatre. Her desire to work on a smaller scale led her to the art of assemblage and collage. Joan was a pioneer in the field of collage illustration and her credits include the cover of TIME and numerous other publications.

Eric Rhein uses the precision of a jeweler to create delicate constructions from wire, paper, monofilament, and appropriated objects such as sentimental bits of jewelry, discarded rusty bottle caps, gears, and crystals. Drawing on his Southern-gothic heritage of Appalachian Kentucky, Rhein explores the delicate and powerful connections among humans, nature, and the spiritual world where loss and rebirth connect the past with the future. His drawings and sculptures evoke a transcendent universe inhabited by leaves, birds, animals, and human figures that represent the metamorphosis of human relationships and experience.
