ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Erin Raedeke is a DC-area painter who is interested in the unwanted and dismissed. Painting from observation, Raedeke's intricate still lifes express a search for meaning and undiscovered connections between objects that are both stumbled upon and chosen. Raedeke received her BFA from Indiana University and an MFA from American University. Her work has been exhibited nationally in both solo and group shows including the BP Portrait Award exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Raedeke was a recipient of the Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award in 2013 and 2016. She is a member of the painting collectives, Perceptual Painters and Zeuxis, and she currently teaches at Washington Studio School and Dulwich Art Group. Raedeke has given numerous artistic lectures at universities and colleges in California, Illinois, Arkansas, Main and Virginia, among others. To learn more about Raedeke visit, erinraedeke.com.
Nicole M. Santiago is a Virginia-based artist who paints commonplace objects that loosely suggest her internal and familial narratives, resulting in domestic scenes with simple yet layered story-lines. She works both from observation (in multiple sittings) and utilizes other methods and materials to experiment with color and compositions until a final work is produced. Santiago received her BFA from Indiana University (Raedeke and Santiago were classmates) and an MFA from the University of New Hampshire. Her work has been exhibited in over 100 group and solo exhibitions over the last 15 years and has been printed in various art publications including The Artist's Magazine, Art News England and the International Painting Annual 1. Santiago is currently an Associate Professor of Art at the College of William Mary. To learn more about Santiago, visit nicolemccormicksantiago.com.
