Rudie Byrd, Photographer
I am versatile photographer with specialties in still life, portraits, and 35mm/120mm film. But having a specialty has never stopped me from branching out to all types of photography! I have my BFA in Photography, along with 6 years of experience.
I hope my work profoundly exhibits the beauty in this world that is worth fighting for. For in my own life photography has saved me more times than I can say.

Khairunnisa Ismail, Fiber Art
Hi, my name is Nisa and I'm the creator behind Little ELM Macrame. I'm originally from Singapore and moved to the USA 5 years ago. The name ELM was inspired by my kids' name.
I have always loved macrame and started to dive into it early of 2023. I enjoyed the process of making an item and learning different types of knots. It's very therapeutic and I love every moment of it.

Michelle Hensley, Ceramics
We all know how fun art can be, but I think it’s necessary for all ages. Art can provide a space for reflection, a break from our busy and sometimes stressful lives, or a relaxing way to connect to others. I’m so excited to bring ceramic to my beautiful hometown Lodi. I hope you will come see me and play in the clay!
