Here are the names, faces and some other information you might want to know about us:
Graham Preston's work jumps genres and mediums to display a quirky and overly self-conscious layering of personal and art -historical symbology that attempts to narrate a passionate philosophical questioning of the human experience.

Graham is a passionate community organizer, and curator with higher-ed professorial experience in the fine arts. He is currently in residence in Barcelona ,Spain.

Determined, results-driven and lover of tacos, Katie Albert Bolton is an enthusiastic, optimistic change-maker (aka certified professional coach), who loves innovating with her clients who are creatives, multi-passionate entrepreneurs, wantrepreneurs and boss women.
Prior to realizing what an amazing thing it is to share with people the discovery and joy of building fulfilling, fun, confident careers and purposeful lives they adore, highlights of her checkered career include more than 20 years experience at the intersection of business and the arts, including senior positions wearing many hats at the Tribeca Film Festival and New York Academy of Art.
Jane Lafarge Hamill is best known for her abstract oil paintings and VR. After getting her MFA from the New York Academy of Art, she lived and worked in NYC for 10 years, before moving to a farm in rural New Jersey. Although her paintings are rooted in portraiture, in recent years they have become divorced from the figure entirely. Hamill is now working consistently in both oil and VR. She is represented by Nonfinito in New York City.
Jason Bereswill is a painter who combines contemporary tools and traditional techniques to relate landscape painting with modern methods of navigation and world experience. Much of his work examines his relationship to space, from the point of mapping/planning to executing paintings on-site. He earned his BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2002, his MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art in 2005, and was a Painting Fellow at the Academy through late 2006. Bereswill has exhibited with the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in NY, Eden Rock in St Barths, and Casa Maauad in Mexico City. He has participated in numerous group shows including at Museo Jumex (Mexico City), Manarat Al Saadiyat (Abu Dhabi), and at Herhusid in Siglufjordur (Iceland).

He has made a career of sharing his love of art and design as a professor and the gallery director at Raritan Valley Community College.
