February 6 to April 26, 2026 - Christy Dunkle
Based in Clarke County, Virginia since 2001 and creating mosaics since 2021, Christy explores the dynamic interplay of small spaces and movement through line and color. The beauty of the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where her studio is located, is a constant source of inspiration for her unique mosaic artworks. Christy’s mosaic art pieces are deeply inspired by the beauty and raw elements of nature, using materials like found slate from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and even gathered from as far as Scotland. Many works incorporate 24-karat gold leaf, recycled roof tiles, black Youghiogheny River shale, Mexican smalti, and Marcellus shale needles. These unique mosaic art pieces are for people who find beauty in the imperfections of nature, who appreciate the tactile quality of mixed media, and who seek artwork that brings a touch of the outdoors into their living spaces.

Become Spellbound - Jewelry by Kari Dern
Kari is a gifted local(!) artist in Baltimore City. She considers herself a spiritual seeker and has been creating art since childhood. Kari is passionate about crystals, minerals and fossils, and all treasures of the natural world. Living in Manhattan when she started this line of jewelry, she took a leap of faith in 2017, leaving a successful career in the corporate world to begin creating full time.
I am delighted to offer her work out Andamento! All of Kari’s jewelry features authentic crystals and fossil talismans, with attention to the energetic properties of each piece. She uses a proprietary sculptural process (no metal) for the gold and silver look without the weight.

May 1 to August 2, 2026 - Tana Reagan
Tana grew up in Winter Park, FL and has spent most of her adult life in Fairfax County, Virginia. She began creating small mosaics in 2010. Her mosaic art quickly morphed into large 3-dimensional sculpted artwork that required both imagination and strength. Knowing she was onto something, Tana sought additional artistic elements to couple with mosaicking and found glass fusion to be a fun new challenge. Tana spent several years developing her skills to shape, cut, and merge glass. Glass chemistry became a necessary expertise. Three ever-growing kilns later, Tana has truly explored the art of glass-fused mosaics and has found her own signature style. Featuring diverse texture, an array of color combinations, and “movement,” Tana's newest projects take multiple trips to the kiln until the desired effect is achieved.
August 7 to November 1, 2026 - Melanie Berry
Berry earned a BFA in sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University before moving to time-based media and completing an MFA in filmmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her films connected snippets of daily life into rhythmic sequences of color and shape. Over time, that organizational approach continued to define her practice while the constraints of family life pushed her to use more practical materials. She began breaking down and reassembling the tactile objects of domestic life, embedding cups and plates into loose, representational compositions. Her current work incorporates the traditional rules of andamento to link the patterns and pictures of dishware into narrative mosaic constructions. Now she uses common, everyday materials to work in a medium with strong ties to decorative art and popular craft. Although repurposed, her materials are still recognizable as objects made for another use, suggesting that meaning and value can be found by looking at something in a different way.
