Chrissy Manuell

ARTIST'S BIO

Art has always played a part in my life but it was not until 2020 that I started to really dive into a regular painting practice. During the pandemic, I began to throw myself into painting almost daily as a form of therapy. There is something about mixing up your own colors and layering them that is magical. The results often surprise me. I work in mainly acrylics playing with shapes and colors. Nature, flowers and vibrant colors are a constant inspiration in my work and my life. When I'm not painting, I work for a local non-profit, striving to make a difference in the region where I live. I believe that art is for everyone, and everyone is creative 

Jordan Delzell 

ARTIST'S BIO

Jordan Delzell is a visual artist, researcher and farmer. Through foraging, collecting and scavenging material she reroutes items from the waste stream to sites of deep study and care. Recently her work investigates material reuse and recycling through paper-making. Her process is slow, blending paper, water and homegrown fibers in order to create a pulp. The pulp is then used to create sheets of paper and sculptural objects. She believes recycling is a way of transforming matter by hand and is therefore an alchemical practice blending science and spirituality. 

Morgan  Monaghan

ARTIST'S BIO

Morgan Monaghan is a North East Pennsylvania artist, born and raised in Forty-Fort.  Morgan is a multi-disciplinary artist who has been making art and crafting since she was a young child. Her practice takes many forms; from t-shirts, to paintings, to rugs, and beyond. She almost exclusively uses upcycled and found materials to create. Her vibrantly playful style and deceptively sensitive subject matter make Morgan’s work unmistakable. She explores themes in human interaction and personal narrative. Her fascination with the contrasting frivolity and sadness of life’s experience is not immediately evident, as she simultaneously lures and distracts the viewer with both her oft unconventional medium and nearly psychedelic color choices. This is her third First Friday show.
