Glenn Allenspach

In his twenty’s he attended college at the University of Minnesota. Still following the photography track, Glenn signed up for a basic wheel throwing course. The fuse was lit, and he began concentrating on pottery, while continuing to pursue photography. On one hand, wheel throwing, hand building, clay and glaze formulation, and kiln construction. On the other, the fine black and white print, and alternative photo processes and methods. Both mixed in with a healthy dose of art history, especially ceramics of China, Korea and Japan.

His darkroom and kilns have been busy ever since, completing his impressive photographs and pots.

“I take a pretty simple approach to both photography and pottery. Photographs that speak most directly to me show a clear, straightforward look at the world. The land, the people and nature are my subjects. The beauty of light and shadow at certain times of the day and year, or the connection between people, animals, and their surroundings provide little windows of time and space to contemplate.”

Victoria Stevens

Born in Eau Claire, WI, Victoria Demos Stevens is an artist and photographer who resides in River Falls, WI. She works in several mediums, including sculpture, illustration, and painting. Her photo documentation chronicles a variety of subjects, from panoramic views of nature in the US to intimate portraits that provide glimpses into the lives and culture of indigenous people across Southeast Asia. 

Creating art is my passion and it is my voice. I am a multimedia artist and I approach my photography in much the same way I do with other mediums. All of my work is developed intuitively. In photography I explore the properties of shapes, images, and colors, always paying close attention to how these elements relate to one another. I strive to create visual harmony and strong composition when working out a photograph, while also capturing a mood, a sentiment. It is my hope that my photographs speak to the viewer in some enduring way.
