In the Studio with Concert Photographer and Musician Domenic Cicala

Today, we’re going In the Studio with concert photographer and musician Domenic Cicala. He wears more than a few hats. One of his great loves is photography. He started as a collector and lover of the medium back in the analog days of film. That love of film still influences his work. He lives mostly in the photography world, shooting people. His main areas of work these days are Music and Beauty portraits, though you will find an occasional still life or landscape. He prefers to capture those moments in between, unstaged, no pretense, truth.

In the Studio with Artist Kimmary MacLean

As a child Kimmary would spend hours perfecting her drawings, as a teenager she would hide in my room painting, and as an adult her version of a vacation is sketching or painting in a new place.

Today, she can be found painting, drawing, photographing, or working digitally on the computer, as well as, teaching ballet at the National Ballet Institute for the Arts or leading art programs at The Creative and Performing Arts of South County, which she founded in January 2014.

Here’s Kimmary talking about her art, process and experience………..

In the Studio with Artist Liza Figueroa

We ask artists from community, to tell their story, talk about their technique and how they achieve success as an artist. As we celebrate Women’s month, we wanted to highlight the strong women artists in our community and Liza was someone that we wanted to learn more about. She currently lives in Linthicum, Maryland and when she’s not creating art, she works at Medstar Harbor Hospital.

Check out the new In the Studio blog and learn more about Liza and her artwork!

In the Studio with Artist Mia Halton

From the beginning the role of figures was central, ranging from cartoon-‐like, graphic images to more gestural forms. It is the pictorial space between the figures and forms that has continually evolved in Halton’s prints, drawings, and paintings.

She was recently awarded the A.I.R. Vallauris in France, and a solo exhibition at Stevenson University.

Mia has also been an incredible ceramics instructor at the Chesapeake Arts Center for the last 4 years, so we wanted to make sure that we highlighted Mia in our blog.

Here’s Mia talking about her art, process and experience:
