Meet the artist if WOW!

Judith Goodman, Sculptor

After many years as commercial and fine art photographer I became interested in making sculpture as a way to move my images into three dimensions. From there the natural progression involved finding beauty and intensity in objects beyond their original purpose. The work is emotionally, rather than intellectually, inspired. Much of it has been influenced by recent wars degradation of the climate. The assemblages are fragmented narratives illustrating the frailty of recollection. They are incongruous: mixing scale, texture, natural and manmade elements that have exceeded their useful life and progressed to another state.

Meet the artists of WOW!

In 2009, Sara Bardin started creating art to relieve herself from the daily stresses of life. After visiting the national US Botanic Garden, she became inspired to paint flowers. She found that a flowers beauty, color, and texture evoke deep emotions. The color and artistry of her botanicals renderings conveys this emotion and when people see her work, she hopes that it will elicit feelings and/or memories. Ms. Bardin has a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from the University of Dayton and has studied painting at The Compass Atelier.
