Jury-2026

​

• Chris Charles
  Chris Charles is a graduate of Montserrat College of Art, where she earned her BFA in
  painting. In 2010 she established Moon Rabbit Press, which focuses on fine-art
  letterpress and block prints that celebrate the familiar through bold colors and
  composition. In addition to selling her work in galleries and art festivals across the
  country, Chris also teaches printmaking in her home of Rochester, NY.

• Wendy Franklin
  Wendy Franklin is a contemporary abstract painter and fiber artist with a passion for
  color. She pursued art in some form, with much enthusiasm all of her life but became
  convinced after a brutal string of all nighters to switch her major from art to teaching,
  graduating with the Oh So Practical Degree in Education in 1995 from Ball State
  University. In the winding path of life, she never taught and instead routinely, happily
  pulls all nighters meeting deadlines. She resides in Indianapolis, Indiana working from a
  sunny studio surrounded by happy chaos. Her work is in private and corporate
  collections across the country and is well represented in galleries across the country.

• Kelly Roach
  Kelly Roach studied Interior Design at Kent State University and has been a full-time
  artist for the past twenty years. She has exhibited in numerous local and national shows
  and has been represented by galleries in Ohio, North Carolina and New York. She
  currently lives and works in a small, historic town in northeast Ohio creating sculptural
  ceramics with her husband from their home studio.
