Cheryl Patton Wu makes abstracted land, sea, and sky-scapes in fabric collages. The assembled fabric shapes, embellished and enhanced with machine stitch and hand embroidery, play with the material’s color, texture, and pattern, creating a finished piece evocative of a painting. These fabric paintings tell the story of her journey in the world, physical as well as emotional – where she’s been, what she’s seen, and where she’s at.

Bea Stenta is a Collage/Mix-Media artist known for her Cold Wax and oil paint creations on repurposed paper. She combines charcoal, textured paper, and acrylics while incorporating cold wax and oil paints for a unique texture. Inspired by her ocean view and current events, Beatrice’s art is a blend of memories and the present. Her work has been displayed at prestigious venues like Newark Museum and Bristol Museum, as well as in online shows during the pandemic.
