Winter received his Bachelors of Art in Ceramics from Northern Arizona University in1992 and his Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics in 1995 from East Carolina University in North Carolina. Winter has exhibited in many shows including ?Feats of Clay,? at Lincoln Arts in Lincoln, California in 1996; the ?Nevada Artist?s Biennial? at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno in 1996; the ?Master?s Exhibition? in 1995 at Gray Gallery in Greenville, Carolina; and ?It?s Elemental: Wood, Fiber, Clay, Glass, and Metal,? at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991. The Joyner Library at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, has a large sculpture by Winter in its collection. Piece of Time is created from numerous broken pieces of clay. The sculpture gets its title because of the amount of patience required to complete the work. The construction of this work is unusual for the clay medium. Winter hand-built the top portion of the sculpture, and used altered, wheel-thrown pieces of clay for the rest of the work. He flattened the clay pieces with large paddles. The smooth, curved shape contrasts with the jagged pieces of clay. The opening in the center represents another challenge that the artist dared to tackle and successfully overcame. The fragile-looking sculpture is bolted to the pedestal on which it rests.

Siskin
Bannard not only paints emotionally charged works of art, he frequently contributes essays and reviews on art to art journals. He considers himself a painter first and his abilities to paint allow him a special insight when he writes about art. He feels this special insight may elude other art journalists who are not artists. An intelligence evident in his paintings can also be observed in his writings on art. Fellow colorfield artists, Jules Olitski and Larry Poons shared Bannard?s beliefs about painting. All three held the attitude that their paintings must convey their deepest held feelings. They accomplished this through their fearless use of color and curious textures. In Siskin, Bannard conveys his deepest emotions by utilizing his innovative methods with color and texture. Other works by Bannard can be seen in the collections of major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Guggenheim Museum of Art as well as the collections of other major museums in the United States and abroad. He has received numerous awards including a National Foundation for the Arts grant and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.

Aeling received her B.A. degree in painting and printmaking from Colorado State University in Fort Collins in 1988 and her M.F.A. degree in painting from the University of Washington in Seattle. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Graduate Fellowship from the University of Washington, a National Fine Art Award, a Smithville Special Award, and an Art St. Louis Honor Award. Her work has been exhibited at the Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin, Texas; the Hoyt Institute of Art in New Castle, Pennsylvania; and the Boulder Center for the Visual Arts in Boulder, Colorado. In this painting, Aeling balances a small image on the left that relates directly to the large image on the right. The dialogue between these images seems charged with emotion, whereas the sedate blue color to the left emits a calm and somber mood. The surprising spray of green color in the middle adds another element of intrigue to this intellectually challenging work.
