Glynnis Fawkes - My graphic adaptation of Eric Cline's 1177BC was published this April. Eric Cline’s 1177 B.C. tells the story of one of history’s greatest mysteries: what caused the ancient civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean to collapse more than three thousand years ago, bringing the Late Bronze Age to an abrupt end? In this vivid and captivating full-color graphic adaptation of the landmark book, author-illustrator Glynnis Fawkes invites us to follow two young friends living in the aftermath of the cataclysm as they unravel why it happened—and reveal important lessons for today’s interconnected and vulnerable world. “1177 B.C. is a spectacular achievement—deftly adapted, beautifully drawn, and captivatingly colored by Glynnis Fawkes. . . . [She] doesn’t just bring history alive, she propels it across the page in an accessible, gripping way.”—Alison Bechdel, New York Times bestselling author of Fun Home.
Holly White-Gehrt - In the last year, I opened my own non-profit art school, Texas Hill Country Atelier. We teach the fundamentals of painting and drawing. Although I teach a traditional approach that I learned in an Atelier, I'm proud that my Atelier is richly informed with an understanding and deep appreciation for Modern and Postmodern Art. This sets TX HCA apart from other Ateliers, and I have my excellent education at PNCA to thank. Shout out to Anne Johnson, who significantly influenced my art and worldview.

Cydney (CJ) French - PNCA, last class at the museum school. Circa 1998. Art making is a continuous process. I will always make marks. I make marks in a variety of ways. I’ve always been multidisciplinary. After PNCA, I continued taking photographs. I went to massage school at East West College of the Healing Arts. I studied with elders and learn traditional Medicine ways. I have a variety of tools at my easel, and also my medicine basket. I paint now in addition to pics. Starting in the fall, I have been accepted into OHSU school of nursing program. It’s an accelerated program that will launch me out into a wider circle of mark making and connection. I plan to leave the country once my youngest daughter is through high school. Not so far away. Off to lands that have adventure in their title! I remember those days fondly. We touch each other, you know? I carry you with me. Reach out to me: @cydneyfrenchartist (insta).
