Katherine Haig
Raised in the Berkshires, and inspired by local art and nature, Katherine is a self taught artist, and local community organizer.
Diane Firtell
Not a photographer….but an artist who uses a camera, almost all of Diane's work, over the years, has originated from the photograph. Making art; a mystery to some, a mandate to others. And while she clearly fall into the latter category, the why still, often times, remains a mystery. Easily bored and not terrifically skilled technologically but, she enjoys being ever engaged in the "what is there for me to do that is different” experience…not necessarily to be different from other artists, but mostly to have a new creative experience for herself. While she continues to do what she enjoys doing, it is exciting for her to know that a year from now something she currently has no conscious awareness of will become part of a fresh and new body of work.
Kate Hocker
Kate's freelance career took root after she and her husband moved to the Berkshires to raise their two children. She spends her days enjoying the region and telling stories, with beautiful typography and imagery, from her home office in Pittsfield.
Adam Douglass
Adam has been working with and around professional artists for more than 10 years. He is a Berkshire County native, and works mostly in digital media. As a lowbrow artist, he is known for his unique take on pop art.
Susan Robinson
Susan is a graphic designer, illustrator, and fine artist living in the hills of Peru, MA. Her work is inspired by interesting things that just happen to stand out to her during a day - patterns & textures, stories, quirky people or animals, and of course, her children.
Jesse Tobin McCauley
Jesse Tobin McCauley is a painter and graphic designer working in the Berkshires. Her paintings are acrylic on canvas — bursts of bold, bright, saturated color — that evoke a feeling of happiness through the flood of interacting abstract color, finding the beauty in the chaos of color and shape.
