The Artists

Tatiana Roberts: Star Gazing Collection

Tatiana “Tati” Roberts is a Cleveland-based artist known for her watercolor pet portraits, colorful acrylic paintings and innovative faux-cyanotype botanicals. Roberts found inspiration in the shifting clouds, the glow of sunsets, and the energy of approaching storms. With acrylic paints, she captures the fleeting emotions that the sky so effortlessly reflects and explores the delicate interplay between nature and art through faux-cyanotypes of botanical elements.

Jessica Wascak: Stereoscopes: Spirit/Land

Stereoscopy combines two images, from slightly different perspectives, forcing our visual system to create the illusion of depth. Shift your perspective just a little bit and you can see something in an entirely new way. Wascak was a tenured professor in Digital Art at Ashland University from 2005 – 2015. Her work is currently included in many public and private collections throughout the region.

Grace Frank: Explorations

Explorations is a celebration of color, emotion, and the quiet beauty woven into everyday life. Whether painting on glass, canvas, or capturing the colors of feelings and sound, Grace Frank explores the ways art can make us feel more alive. Frank’s goal is to create art that invites reflection, joy, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Frank is a Cleveland-based artist working across multiple mediums, including reverse glass painting, canvas, paper sculpture, and abstract interpretations of emotion and sound.
