Jill Goldman-Callahan is a contemporary abstract painter interested in mystery, nature and process. Thomas Moore, the best selling author of Care of the Soul, called her work “ Not a painting of, but a peek into…” Her poetic painting explores themes of peace and reverence for nature with textured, layered surfaces that evoke landscapes or biological forms. Jill’s intriguing surfaces integrate varied media such as paper, plaster and pumice with acrylic paint. Jill has an BA in Fine Arts and Anthropology from Bennington College and an MA in Art Therapy from Lesley University. Jill taught art in Wellesley Massachusetts public schools for 21 years and has worked as an art therapist, art educator, art education supervisor and artist mentor.

Justin Perlman is a sculptor and fine artist living in Bethlehem, CT.  The pursuit of various artistic processes has taken Justin on diverse roads as exemplified in his work, which exists in private and public collections around the globe.  From studies in anthropology at Hampshire College he journeyed to focus on sculpture at the Art Students League of NY.  From there he moved to Pietrasanta, Italy so that he may work with master sculptors and artisans of marble carving.  Seeking deeper knowledge in sculptural processes, Justin returned to the USA as an apprentice and master chaser at a bronze foundry where he trained in all facets of fine art bronze casting.  In 2004, Justin moved to Connecticut where he continues to create works of art for exhibition, as well as private and public commissions.  Justin is teaching sculpture, metal work,  and bronze casting at the Silvermine Art Center in New Canaan, CT.
