Self Portrait with Plane

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.

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.
