      <image:title>Artist Profiles - Annelise Brady</image:title>
      <image:caption>Annelise Brady grew up in a household of modern artisans. Her father was a builder and her mother, a painter. From an early age, she would accompany her parents and eventually assist on job sites for their business, Frame to Finish. She developed professional skills while painting the trim on houses, oftentimes two stories up or higher. As an artist, drawing, sketching, and journaling are ways for her meandering mind to vent. What might seem like random doodles in her journal reveal intricate linework and details upon closer glance. This combination of professional experience and artistic sensibility led to the opportunity to paint murals. She has painted three murals, designed graphics, and assisted other artists on separate projects. Her primary focuses are painting, ceramics, and baking. She often draws inspiration from the process and materials, loves getting her hands dirty, and gets energized by the feeling she gets when she knows people understand and enjoy her work. She’s frequently found mixing creative cocktails at downtown Kinston establishments or teaching classes at Community Council for the Arts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Artist Profiles - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Airdnassela is a self-taught painter whose work rises from the threshold between the seen and the remembered. Her early acrylics were elemental, pure color and pure instinct, before a profound rupture led her fully into oil, a medium that allowed her to articulate the symbolic, the mythic, and the interior with new precision. Her figures appear mid-transformation, illuminated by an inner light that refuses to be extinguished, each canvas a record of the soul returning to itself. Though rooted in painting, her practice is ever evolving; she moves fluidly toward installation, mixed media, and any form that can hold the truth she is trying to reveal. Her work is not confined to a medium; it is an ongoing act of remembering.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Artist Profiles - Gail Kelly</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gail Kelly Who am I? I seek out and absorb sights, sounds, tastes and touches. I hold, process and give off at a much slower, more deliberate pace. Interpretations by my brain sponge surprise and often delight me. I like gesture. I like strong color. I like rocks. I am very tactile. I am a maker. I have looked at shape and color in a critical manner from a very early age. Movement is essential-stasis is boring. Subtlety is good, forcing one to look beyond the obvious. I am a complex person. I think too much, I draw too little. Writing is an act of defiance or self-defense. Making is my way of sharing - a reflection of my being. I have made many things: technical, helpful, useful, some just beautiful. I try always to respond to what the object needs to be safe, strong, sharp or loud. I ask a pot: what will it hold? Who will use it? What will the decoration celebrate? They go out into the world to celebrate the nature of becoming. Desired or not, we are all in the process. Some aspects of the process we can control (education) some we can delay (gravity), others we must simply acknowledge- decay and death. I think my job as an artist is to raise awareness of man’s part in the complex process of becoming and begoing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Artist Profiles - Stephanie Brea</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stephanie Brea is a poet whose work is centered in community engagement. Collaboration with organizations, other artists, and local residents results in poetry for everyone, by everyone.    Her work has been published in various small presses and poetry anthologies. She was a staff writer for an invention company, briefly copy edited for Alternative Press magazine, interviewed the infamous groundhog weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil, and currently is a process-analyst-slash-technical-writer for an ambulance billing company. This means that she may have had a hand in some of the things advertised on late-night infomercials, remembers how to spell the last name of the drummer for a few bands she never listened to, was sworn to secrecy about the goings-on of the Groundhog Day Inner Circle, and has a great mnemonic device for remembering Medicare billing rules.    Her public writing projects include an interactive map of Pittsburgh neighborhood poems, Bioetry: an exploration of science-based poetry and art, and Pizza Poems PGH (a project that delivers fresh, hot poems on pizza boxes for National Poetry Month). She spent many years teaching creative writing in both classroom and after-school settings with a primary focus on craft, courage and community.    With an additional 10+ years of events production experience, she is always up for brainstorming potential projects and working together to make things happen.
