Bill Burgard
Ann Arbor Area

Throughout my life I have always kept sketch books of drawings from observation to improve my skills for capturing reality on paper. I am very confident in my ability to render accurate drawings which also have strong character. Though much of my work deals with decorative shapes and graphic interpretation I am only satisfied when I achieve a high sense of realism in some part of the work. I have been a graphic designer and illustrator since graduating from the University of Michigan in 1979. Most people are familiar with the work I produced as Art Director for the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and the 20 posters I created from 1984 to 2003. Along with my freelance work I am a Lecturer at the School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. I have been on the faculty continuously since 1993. I am experienced in many media including pen and ink, acrylic, oils, pastel, collage and digital. I am fluent in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I scan all of my artwork and often manipulate it for publication.

Rick De Troyer
Chelsea Area

I have always been intrigued with making things, being aware of nature and trying to limit my use of resources on this planet so to reduce global warming. Recycling is a big part of my art. I try to practice what I preach by using found objects in my work. They tell a story of their own, along with adding character to art. When I see a design in my mind I try to shape it into reality. My work is freehand and comfortable. I cut or add to my eyes’ delight. I like curves and flow the pieces into a new use. . I find a new energy from some objects, and creativity takes that "Ah Ha!" step. Some metal can develop a look over time much as a wine’s flavor can grow. I try to blend the look of rust with the shine of grinding. I hammer the surface repeatedly to develop a textured look. My hands seem to know what to do when I cut, hammer and weld metal. Learning to let my heart over rule my conscience is sometimes the hard part.

Judy Enright
Outside Washtenaw County

My art is a construct of ideas derived from many sources to present insights into universal truths and explore the concept of paradox in our ever-expanding world. These original oil paintings represent modern folklore using mythology and other past ideas either true or of the hand-me-down-variety. I paint in series. All series include a musical theme. I like to show my view of the human condition along with our inner kinship.

The simplicity represented in my drawings interrupts a busy world in motion. I feel an instinct to capture thoughts, moments in time, situations and scenes and put them on paper. I most often use permanent marker and watercolor to describe what I see. If my camera is available, I will take a picture and capture the moment more clearly. Hand blown glass, bead jewelry and metal works are other artistic endeavors I've explored. Wherever I go, I document my travels and adventures through writing, and sometimes I make music videos to capture the journey.

My name is Mary Thiefels. I am an Ann Arbor native and have been active in the local arts community for over 10 years. I have enjoyed wearing many hats, working with all kinds of artists in many different capacities. The most influential step I’ve taken in my career as an artist is with public mural art. After 10 years of developing community mural art programs, in South Eastern Michigan, in the fall of 2007, founded public art business, TreeTown Murals. Tree Town Murals is committed to promoting the visual development of local communities by fostering initiatives that support public art. By enhancing our neighborhoods, city centers, and parks with public artwork, we stand out as a community that makes art a part of our daily lives. I believe mural art should reflect the community it lives in, in addition to encouraging community involvement and economic development.

I consult on a range of topics in art, literacy, and math education, arts and education administration, and nonprofit board development. My relevant experience includes the following: After college, I co-founded Film in the Cities (FITC) and led it from being a storefront, film-education program serving inner-city youth in St. Paul and Minneapolis to becoming the largest media arts center in the U.S. serving artists, students, and educators in a five-state region. The National Endowment for the Arts called FITC a “national leader in media arts education” and “the flagship of the media arts field.” Following mid-career Master’s and Ph.D studies, I facilitated development of a North American studies center at a Polish university, designed online training for piano teachers, and led development of and teacher training in a preschool math curriculum for an educational research foundation. I have extensive experience researching literacy education and coaching teachers in first-grade literacy and math education. I have designed software for teaching expository literacy in primary school.

Although I started out in photography shooting concerts as a teenager in the '70s, upon starting college I decided not to pursue it as a career. Nearly 30 years later, I once again took up the camera, but with a much different purpose and more artistic outcome. I'm buoyed by early success in juried exhibits, and excited by the possibilities in merging this artistry with my day job. As a physics professor, teaching and investigating our ever-evolving view of what is real and how we look at it is how I would describe what it is that I actually do. Given that, I like to create images that contain much more beyond the first glance, rewarding the viewer for a more persistent and perceptive gaze. I am currently writing and making images for a textbook I’m calling “Physics for the Right Brain.”

Julie Yeager
Ypsilanti Area

I create a wide variety of colorful and unique hand-painted and etched glassware, designed with fun and functionality in mind! I began painting glass about eight years ago. It started as creating something fun and functional for myself, and slowly progressed into a small business. My clientele has grown from friends and family to now include the public through a variety of arts and craft shows and retail stores and galleries. My audience is growing, and so are my glass creations. In addition to hand-painted glassware, I have also added etched glassware. The hand-painted and etched pieces are safe for food and drink, and most are dishwasher and microwave-safe. Each piece is truly functional for everyday life. In addition I also do acrylic painting, jewelry making, photography and copper enameling. I love trying new mediums and I especially love teaching art to others (kids especially) - I love to see and help others find their creative talent.
