Gina Wolfrum/Hicksville, OH - Gina Wolfrum is an award-winning mixed-media artist known for her distinctive Gemstone Series, where she combines paint with real gemstones, glass, and mica to create shimmering, nature-inspired works. Her art invites viewers to shift their perspective—questioning what’s painted and what’s real—while drawing them into landscapes that glisten with depth and dimension. Wolfrum’s work is sought after by collectors and galleries across the Great Lakes region, with exhibitions spanning multiple cities. Gina lives with her husband and a very large dog in Northwest Ohio on a quiet farm surrounded by flower beds and bird feeders.

Susan Mahan/Maineville, OH - My mixed media work is inspired by my love of color and pattern. Photos and random bits of found paper enhance my work in unexpected ways; especially when combined with layers of paint. Paint is applied both over and under the paper and in loose washes as well as tight detail. The many layers of my work engage the viewer and encourage closer examination.
