Marcie Honerkamp has been working as an artist on the East End for over 30 years. Originally she worked as a painter,(having studied at Parson's School of Design) but once she discovered mosaics as her medium in 1999, that became her creative outlet. She creates sculptures, 2 dimensional work, furniture ,architectural enhancements and is especially known for her mosaic surfboards. Her work has been shown at The Elaine Benson Gallery, Soho 20, and Gallery Mertz in Sag Harbor and featured in the East Hampton Star, East Hampton Patch, The Delphi Stained Glass Catalogue and HC&G Magazine. Her mosaic tables can be seen at Cyril's Fish House on the Napeague stretch.
Marcie will be showing sculptures with substrates of carved Styrofoam or found objects then covered in whimsical mosaic designs.
Annie Sessler creates works in the Japanese craft tradition of Gyotaku. Along with her husband, she founded East End Fish Prints in 2006. Her art involves direct nature printing with ink using freshly caught fish, octopi, squid and other natural objects. The work is printed on a variety of surfaces including on vintage, recycled and synthetic fabric. Annie's work has been featured in the New York Times, Edible East End, The East Hampton Star and on One King's Lane. There is a continuous display at Noah's in Greenport.
Annie will be exhibiting a number of recent works created this year.
John Todaro studied with master printer Anthony Nobile in the 1970's. He also worked as an assistant to the curator at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site where he catalogued thousands of historic images. His work is widely collected and has been seen in a variety of East End shows since the 1980's. His work has been published by Unicef, the East Hampton Star, the New Yorker, Crain's New York Business, Town and Country and other magazines.
