WAYNE TARR

 Wayne Tarr is a long-time Franklin County photographer who specializes in portraiture. For over 20 years Wayne has competed in print competitions at the state, regional and national levels, and this is primarily where his body of work for the A.I.R. Gallery comes from. For this featured month, Wayne is displaying one of his favorite subjects for competition prints, dancers. To start, he will display digital images of a single dancer, but as the month progresses, he will add silver gelatin prints created in his darkroom while continuing the dance theme. The return to his darkroom this winter is rewarding for Wayne as he continues to learn and refine this traditional craft.

FRANK TIRALLA

 Frank Tiralla is retired and now resides in Franklin, Vermont with his wife Priscilla. Nowadays, his time is spent fishing on Lake Carmi, bird hunting with their dogs Patches and Maggie, and devoting more time to his passion for art. Frank custom frames the majority of his artwork using local hard and soft woods. Current art work includes a 34x24 inch oil on canvas of two Quebec Labrador Caribou. He is also working on an oil-on-canvas of a mountain caribou. And last but not least, the grizzly bear!

ANDREW AND SUSAN WOOTEN

 Andrew and Susan Wooten have recently been experimenting with dye applications that don't necessarily require tying. These include direct application of dye with squirt bottles, eye-droppers, paintbrushes and basically any other way they can think of applying dye to fabric. As you might imagine, working with new processes has resulted in some successes and some failures. One combination that has been really popular is camoflauge-- maybe because we have so many hunters here in the Enosburg area?! The Wootens are still learning the techniques for tying Mandalas, Stars and other figure-oriented designs. They'll keep you posted...
