Jessica Meuninck-Ganger's visual art practice can be framed as communal engagement in “making” by means of papercrafts and printmaking. She has a dedicated interest in learning and sharing the traditions of these practices, practices that are rooted in ideas of locale and community. Printed assemblages of built environments utilize paper's strength, translucency, touch, surface, and materiality to offer a unique "Viewshed".
Jessica Meuninck-Ganger’s prints, artist’s books and large-scale hybrid media works have been exhibited in museums and both experimental and commercial galleries regionally, nationally and internationally. Her works are included in several private and public collections, including the Weisman Museum of Art, Northwestern Mutual, the Target Corporation, and in contemporary publications, such as Andrea Ferber’s, Sustenance: Contemporary Printmaking Now, Richard Noyce’s, Printmaking Beyond the Edge, and Nathaniel Stern’s, Interactive Art and Embodiment: The Implicit Body as Performance. Jessica received a BS degree in Art Education from Ball State University and a MFA in Studio Arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is currently the Print and Narrative Forms Area Head, Associate Professor, and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

During the 1970s, artist Celine Farrell took welding, metallurgy and foundry classes at Milwaukee Area Technical College. By 1980, she had created a set of techniques to create aluminum castings from polystyrene patterns. Over the next 33 years, she remained enrolled in the foundry, casting over 200 sculptures. Working within the themes of puzzles and natural cycles, Farrell creates castings that are reverent and playful.

Celine Farrell earned a BFA in Advertising Art from the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, WI an MFA in Painting from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI, and an MA in Sculpture from Pius XII Institute in Florence, Italy. A born-and-raised Wisconsin artist, Farrell purchased a Cream City Victorian commercial building in the Walker's Point Neighborhood in 1972 and has lovingly restored it for over 40 years. She takes great pride in her building's garden which features many native Wisconsin flowers and grasses. She's been a part of countless solo and group shows and has public sculpture on permanent display in Milwaukee's south side.
