Jason Graham is an artist from Saginaw, Michigan, that works in many mediums but has a distinct focus on sculpture and a concentration on fabricated metal sculpture. He creates gallery pieces, personal commissions, and temporary installations, as well large permanent public works, and he has several pieces displayed throughout the state.

Pamela Hart is in her ninth year on the faculty of the Studio School at the Midland Center for the Arts. She has 17 years of experience in the ceramic medium and has studied with instructors at the Midland Center for the Arts and attended workshops with nationally recognized ceramic artists. She started working in clay after twenty years as a music teacher and several years at home with her children. Her portfolio includes sculptural pieces, functional pieces, and pieces for worship, and she has exhibited regionally and nationally. Her worship pieces are used in local churches and in the chapel of Wisconsin Lutheran College.

A career welder with a love of art, I created my first piece in 1998 and started Steelvisions in 1999, which has become primary to me since retiring from "the grind" in 2000. And I'm loving it!

Heather Koos is a relatively new artist. She began playing with clay only three years ago. As easily bored and distracted as she tends to be, she has found a medium versatile enough to finally hold her interest, and she has fallen in love! She prefers the flexibility and freedom that working with multimedia provides. After recently buying a new home, her spouse won "Husband of the Year" by encouraging her to build a home studio in the basement. However, he suggested it simply so he could get some peace and quiet upstairs. Balance.

I first learned to weld from an art teacher in high school. I found that I really enjoyed making art with steel and received my first welding rig as a high school graduation gift. Since that time, I have been creating welded steel art using an oxyacetylene torch and simple hand tools. I have been at this for over 45 years, with time-outs for raising children and a career as a chemist. My primary medium is mild steel, but I also incorporate found objects and pieces of metal that I have picked up in my travels. My work is inspired by nature, science, and science-fiction images.

Becca Watz is a ceramic artist who also enjoys painting and printmaking. She plays with soft hues and subtle shapes. Becca spent her early career in Computer Science and attended Art School later in life. During her studies in Studio Arts at The University of Olivet she became dedicated to the practice of ceramics.
