Faery is a world just a side step away from ours, a world so impossibly magical, but what cost that step: joy, power, fear, innocence, freedom. Guests join Gallery 10 member Lisa Tayerle in creating a magical inter-disciplinary exhibition. Faery, mystical beings, guardian and elemental spirits are the theme for this exhibition which will include: mixed media two and three dimensional work, ritual theater performance, music and dance.
Lisa Tayerle Lisa is a member of Gallery 10, and host for this exhibition. She is a visionary artist and Wiccan priestess. She works in mixed media print and found object assemblage Creating pieces that speak to the sacredness of the earth.

Andrea McCluskey Andrea is a painter, printmaker and sculptoR who lives and works in Frederick, Maryland. She is interested in the relationship between consciousness and the phenomenal world.

Jennifer Herbert Jennifer is an artist and dancer from Baltimore, MD. She is interested in the intersections between the material and imaginary realms, believing that both the physical and the fantastical are necessary for life.
