Judy Rushin-Knopf, Founder, Co-Director
Judy Rushin-Knopf is best known for her work that blurs the boundary between painting, sculpture, and textiles. Her work is a bricolage of weaving, tufting, dyeing, casting, and painting which she combines into abstract and semi-abstract pieces that explore states of precarious balance in an entropic world. Rushin-Knopf’s work has been included in numerous gallery and museum exhibitions nationally and resides in museum and book art collections including University of Kentucky Art Museum, Florida State University Museum of Fine Art, Wofford College Museum of Fine Art, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Frick Fine Arts Library, Harvard Fine Arts Library, and the Kohler Art Library. She is represented by Ivy Brown Gallery in New York.

Carolyn Henne’s sculpture is largely informed by anatomical studies – from simple school-house diagrams to NIH’s Visual Human Project. Her work ranges from large, complex interactive installations and performances to more straightforward, discrete objects. Suspended Self Portrait is in the permanent collection at the National Museum of Health and Medicine and was featured in the NIH’s exhibition and book, Dream Anatomy. In 2021 she partnered with UNC Institute of Marine Sciences to install a 10,000 square foot sculptural oyster reef in the shallow intertidal waters of Beaufort, NC.
