The Washington Street Artists’ Co-op welcomes three new juried members, bringing the co-op to 28 members.
Anna Gibson, photographer, has an eye for beauty. The icy lace of trees in winter reflected in a frozen pond, a pendulous crimson bud hanging from its stem, the visual abstracts of buildings caught at the right angle are part of the work Anna has brought to the Co-op gallery.
Joe Bourgeios, furniture maker, began working around professional woodworkers in 1960 as a part-time job through high school. After graduating with a B.A. in history from Harvard University, he worked for 20 years as a teacher and then as a pastor, raised two children with his wife, and kept at woodworking as a hobby. Returning to his first love as a handyman and then as a general construction contractor, Joe began building custom furniture 15 years ago. Now, Joe and his wife, Sharon, a retired United Methodist Pastor, live in the front of a 30′ by 50′ furniture shop he built in Bunker Hill, WV, where he runs Bourgeois Furniture, Cabinets & More.
"Chasm" - Malcom Hally
Malcolm Hally defies categorization. He and his family lived in Rockville Maryland for over ten years before moving to Shepherdstown in 2009. His work used to be concerned with kinetic sculpture but he stopped making kinetic sculptures in 2006. Malcolm is now concerned with molten wax and plastic pictures and the intricacies of pop up book mechanisms.
