Tamsin Barlow
The Moon & The Cabin
Print
$45.00
2025
Tamsin Barlow grew up on the Left Coast of Amer- ica, spending her years teaching science, doing pharmacology research, teaching fitness classes, graphic design, and rearing children. Being an artist has always been her goal, but for years she only had the time for intense doodling sessions during meetings. Being a mother of children inter- ested in theater brought her backstage where someone thrust a paintbrush in her hands and asked, “Think you can make that wall look like it was made of rocks?” Rock walls led to trees, to the Hundred-Acre Woods, to castles and jungles. Time at the theater led to increasing confidence and fi- nally, when the babies were launched, she pursued art full-time.
Her primary interests are oil painting landscapes, and linoleum block printing. She has been in shows at the Minnesota State Fair (prizewinning),
Rochester Art Center and Crossings at Carnegie. She has been a gallery artist at SEMVA (South Eastern Minnesota Visual Artists), at Gallery 24 in Rochester, at Robbinsdale Gallery in Minneapolis, featured at Café Steam and Forager Brewery, been the featured artist on academic journals (Mallorn and Amon Hen — Tolkien Society), and a member of Oil Painters of Minnesota. She is currently an artist at Red Wing Arts at the Depot Gallery. She teaches regional art classes.
She lives by this Chuck Close quote: “Inspiration is for amateurs — the rest of us just show up and get to work.”
Artist Statement: I base my art on a continued search for comfort, presence and a sense of place. Though I paint many subjects I have been drawn to lonely spaces, mountains, and above all trees in the lovely way they capture light, fragmenting it, and create fascinating silhouettes. In printing I am inspired by the beauty of the form: the jagged edge of a leaf, the creases in rocks, and the patterns of foliage. I aspire to capture the color of Wassily Kandinsky, the printing skill of Bryan Angus and Nick Morely, and the whimsey of the landscapes of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Self Portrait with Plane
2024
NFS
This mosaic was created as an example for Franklin Elem. Students. The students created their own portraits with me, MB Magyar-creator of this smallärt project. The mosaic represents 604 students and Staff. The school's diversity and creativity are featured along with airplanes since that is their mascot-the school was built on top of the original Rochester Airport. See the finished project at www.magyarstudio.com Helen created this for me. She is a wonderful, hard working daughter and always willing to help me with my many projects. Her creativity and precise glazing is inspiring. She is a recent college graduate and is now a full time nurse in Colorado.

Seeds of Change
Soldered and painted steel wire
13" x 6" x 7"
$500
2025
Moving between two and three-dimensional forms, I am constructing wire sculptures by repeating organic forms with steel wire and shadows. My work is nature-inspired and I am sculpting symbolic seed shapes, rocks with many views and abstracted patterns. I am exploring the theme of nature’s cycles by calling attention to new beginnings and the quiet strength of boulders. Seeds are vessels that contain everything within that is needed to grow a plant. I am working to develop scale, geometry, spatial relationships, light and shadow. Strong physical elements come from repeating these organic forms and placing them in new configurations. The negative space is as important as the positive creating a new perspective.
Reeb received a BFA degree in Fine Arts from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, MCAD, where she instructed printmaking for over 9 years.Jodi has been a full-time working artist creating paintings and sculpture and a teacher in Minneapolis for over 28 years. She has taught printmaking, acrylic and encaustic painting as well as book arts classes/workshops at colleges and art centers regionally and internationally. She has taught encaustic workshops at the Essence of Mulranny in Ireland, Zijidelings in Netherlands, Kunstfreiraum in Basel, Switzerland, and San Miguel De Allende. Nationally, she has taught workshops at Arrowmont School of Craft, Penland School of Art, Tubac Center for the Arts, Wild Rice Retreat and Haystack School of Art.

Claire Nameth
Cream and Gold Collection
Various yarns on trimmed fallen branches
2025
Nameth has been making woven wall hangings since August of 2022. After taking one woven wall hanging class, Claire was interested in exploring and refining different weaving techniques. Since getting her own frame loom, Claire weaves regularly as an outlet for creativity and an opportunity for relaxation. Claire enjoys letting the fibers guide each weaving, often starting without a set plan or changing the plan many times in the process. Once each wall hanging is complete, the weaving is removed from the loom, the warp strings are secured, and the wall hanging is attached to a fallen branch. A large portion of Claire’s current yarn was inherited from her grandmother, a lifelong fiber artist, making the creation process even more precious and meaningful.
