Stuart has been a working professional artist since 1987 and has executed over 300 art commissions over the past decade. His experience includes projects and consulting with architects, design firms, corporations and communitites to achieve successful solutions for the integration of the arts into public and private environments nationwide. Stuart's expertise includes his extensive knowledge as an artist and his ingenuity for creative problem solving, visioning and project management.
As a fine art painter, Stuart specializes in urban and natural landscapes. He depicts relationships in both nature and man. "Within urban and natural landscapes I see a silent yet powerful interaction which shows itself through color and composition. Even though the natural internal dialogue evolves slowly, it still shows insight into man's day to day interaction." Stuart paints tension and conflict with direction and focus to the viewer. His canvases range in size from small studies to large compositions over 12 feet in dimension. "I feel a viewer's relation and perception towards composition and subject matter differs depending on the scale of the artwork which can manipulate the viewer's level of interaction." In a continual search for nature's subtle differences, Stuart travels to many remote areas of the United States and Canada. Backpacking with a camera and sketch canvases, he collects images to be developed into paintings back in his studio. "I often find my best images in areas where uncommon conditions cause interesting natural compositions."
Stuart is actively involved with a number of organizations to promote the arts, culture and diversity in the United States and worldwide.

Stacey Morse specializes in large format black and white photographic compositions. "As an artist I feel compelled to seek out the different and unique visual elements I want to capture." The emphasis of her work to date is composed of dramatic urban and natural landscape photographs as well as dynamic images composed from subject matter and environments one might pass without consideration. Stacey works with a variety of photographic equipment including 35mm, 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 view cameras allowing her the opportunity to produce mural size prints. "I feel that the imagery determines the final prints size and printing techniques. Some imagery may require a smaller print format or softer printing technique to bring the viewer into the composition. While other images may require large scale, exhibition formats giving the viewer the feeling that they could step into the scene, becoming an integral part of the photographed environment."
The creative drive to explore new environments and collect imagery has taken Stacey to many areas of the United States and Canada. She travels by means of backpack and utilizes an old Toyota Land cruiser retrofitted to accommodate a photographic shooting platform. "I go where my subject demands me to go. If that means climbing a 14,000 foot mountain with a view camera in tow then that's what I'll do. The artwork should not be sacrificed for lack of ambition."
Stacey is actively involved with a number of organizations to promote the arts, culture and diversity in the United States and worldwide.
