Bonnie Brummley
Bonnie Brumley is a Mississippi native, currently living in Starkville, MS. She grew up in Laurel, frequenting the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art which had a hand in developing her appreciation for the arts. In her childhood years, she was introduced to clay through hand building classes at LRMA in the summers. It wasn’t until her time at Mississippi State University that she was able to explore the medium in more depth. After joining the art department at Mississippi State University in 2013, she was quickly drawn to the ceramic studio. The connection between the medium and the elements of nature intrigued her deeply. Earth, water, air, and fire are all key components in the process of taking a piece from beginning to end- from the wet clay to the final firing. There’s always something new to learn in this medium that requires one to master many different techniques and processes. Although Bonnie graduated from MSU in the spring of 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, emphasis in ceramics, she enjoys the idea of continuing to be a lifelong student in clay.

Paul Buckley
Paul Buckley was raised in captivity in rural Oktibbeha County. Before he escaped, he had never been in an art gallery or museum. Paul quickly developed a chameleonic, ostentatious, pretentiousness, that seemed to exist without reason or accountability, giving him new myths to live by. Paul redefined the meaning of Primitive Random Abstract Art. He has pushed the boundaries of modern methodology into a particular and discrete element separated by biology, mythology, inbreeding and confusion. Paul remains like a distant star whose light has not yet reached earth.
Elizabeth Cagle
Libby Cagle taught in the public schools in Starkville for 36 years, 30 of those years being art and drama in Starkville's VIVA program. She then continued her career at Mississippi State. She has now retired and has much more time to create her own art. Although she taught students to produce multiple styles of art using many types of media, her favorite personal style is creating abstract pieces using acrylics on canvas. She describes her painting as being therapeutic in nature, freeing her mind from the worries of the world. She enjoys listening to a variety of musical styles as she paints, sometimes painting to the rhythm of the music.

Walter Diehl
Walter J. Diehl is an avid world traveler & amateur photographer. His photography provides a glimpse into locations that he has been privileged to visit and hopefully inspires others to experience the beauty of new cultures and places on their own. Diehl probably breaks most ‘rules’ of travel photography. His travel habits rarely allow him to sit in one place very long or take advantage of the best light for favored subjects. He is a traveler first who tries to take the most inspiring photographs that he can under existing conditions. Depending on the trip, he may focus on wildlife, architecture, and/or culture. Walter enjoys the reactions of people viewing his photographs. In an admittedly selfish sense, their reactions allow him to enjoy his travels all over again. But only for a while, because now he is already thinking about how to photograph his next trip.
Heather Hewett
Heather Hewett is a self-taught palette knife artist. She works with textured acrylic paint on canvas. She loves using bold strokes and bright colors to spark the imagination of the viewer. Her goal is to share love of color with the community.

Van Lanigh
Wild West, Painting, $350, 21x30 cm
Inspired by great masters as Vrubel and Monet, Van Lanigh creates figurative and landscape pieces. Her unique style is a reaction to abstractionism in an attempt to capture surrealistic yet casual reality. This is especially underlined by new forms and materials used in Van Lanigh’s artworks aimed to achieve the viewer’s resonance between visual effect and message of the painting. One of her experiments is getting Pointillism into 3D space by making a series of human-face sculptures with small colorful handcrafted polymer clay balls.

T.K. Lee
Though publicly more known for the pictures he paints with words as a poet and playwright, privately he finds solace in experimenting artistically with painting, often stretching the definition of his artistic philosophy beyond the page in an effort to challenge and refresh his own creative worldview.
