Kirsten Moran grew up in a little brown house in North central Massachusetts.  There, she became infused with an appreciation for all life and its fleeting nature. What shaped her aesthetically then, and continues to this day, is the origin of memory and the deep feeling of belonging: ancestrally and in the here and now. How these sensations resurface, manifests in her work through impressions that feel ancient. There is a dialogue present that extends beyond the corporeality of the body, straight to the soul. Kirsten has a B.F.A in Painting and a B.A. in Cinema from Binghamton University.  She is currently an M.F.A. candidate at Savannah College of Art and Design.

Davidson’s paintings communicate ideas of society and nature. Of spirituality and the interplay within. Employing simple elements of composition and definitive space and scale, Davidson’s work suggests the irony of familiar things. Placed within the context of unseen ways, the paintings are humorous intersections between the natural and the staged. The work may be viewed as a forum for the theatrical, a magic realism of sorts. Yet at their center, the paintings concern the dialectics of daily life, revealing the local as universal.

Trever Webster grew up in Madison, WI where he studied painting and studio art. His art has been described as atmospheric. The process plays a tremendous role in the aesthetic of each piece.

Desolate landscapes with abandoned carnivals, bats and spiders are a recurring settings. He works hard at Artist & Craftsman Supply in downtown Charleston.
