Jessica is an Instructor of Art at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, IL, and Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois. She currently shows regionally. Her mixed-media work in Painting and Fiber is inspired by a personal fetish for old things, particularly objects that display the effects of time. Jessica works with a variety of domestic processes and materials, including hand embroidery, quilting and historical doll construction. She also enjoys scouring thrift stores to salvage and give new life to remnants of our material culture, memories made visible. Her work invites us into a whimsical world and encourages viewers to reminisce on the power of memory, love, and loss.
Diana Yost from Edwardsville received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a focus in painting from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), followed by a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Museum Studies and a Master of Arts, also from SIUE. Her past work experience includes working at the Saint Louis Art Museum, and she has shown her artwork at various galleries in the St. Louis region, including the Jacoby Arts Center, the Edwardsville Art Center, the SIUE Juried Alumni exhibit, and the Lewis and Clark Community College Faculty Show. Yost is in her 14th year teaching as an adjunct Art Professor at Lewis and Clark Community College. Diana Yost is a painter who experiments in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. She enjoys painting in an Abstract-Impressionistic style, applying thick layers of paint in small streaks across the canvas. Her paintings range from large-scale abstract landscapes and cityscapes to smaller works, allowing more detailed moments within the painting. Her color palette primarily stays within shades of blue, creating moody atmospheres.
Elizabeth Sheck-Lambert is a metalsmith, photographer, and textile artist based in the Saint Louis Area. She received her BFA in Photography from Fontbonne University and her MFA in Jewelry from Savannah College of Art and Design.

M.V. Laughlin is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in the St. Louis area. Her practice combines observational rigor, historical technique, and research-driven inquiry to explore perception, memory, and the stories we construct to understand lived experience. Working across charcoal, glass, metal, and oil, she employs contemporary realism as both a visual language and a framework for critical inquiry. As an educator, she emphasizes visual analysis, disciplined process, and source engagement as foundations for creative practice.
