Stacey Cowan
Hello, my name is; Stacey Cowan. I am a Jefferson City native and lived here my whole life except when I attended college in Springfield, MO where I obtained my Bachelor's in Marketing and Management. I moved back home when my Father got sick and been back ever since. Since then I have worked for various associations, a local credit union and now employed with the State of Missouri.
2018 was a good year for me as I; wrote my first children's book - Mommy May I Explore Jefferson City, graduated with my Master's from Columbia College where I obtained my degree in Business Administration, and my husband and I bought our first house! I am very thankful and blessed and look forward to what 2019 will hold. I hope you enjoy your book and learn a lot while having fun!

I am a lifelong Missouri resident and a Jefferson City resident for over 25 years. I am the father of three, grandfather of two and husband of one. Early in 2019 I retired from the state of Missouri after 34 years. I’ve always been a builder and a maker and now that my time is my own I spend most of it in my workshop trying to work my way through a 34 year to-do-list. I mostly work with wood however I really like to work with Obtainium and bringing new unexpected life to old things.
Shelly Hitner
Shelly creates home decor and furnishings using the kind of stuff one finds at auctions, thrift stores, garage sales, and/or the recycling bin … reassembling it to be something fresh, new and funky.
The money raised is used to cover travel costs to places where there is need ... whether near or far, whether because of a natural disaster or an injustice, whether with a mission organization or just on my own. Because the reality is, helping out can be expensive.
“When struck against steel, a flint edge will produce sparks.” Yeah, that sounds right. That’s what I want my work to be about: when I come up against a challenge, I ignite.
Holly Grantham
As an artist I have always been intrigued by the dynamic of light, color and emotion. Together, these relationships, gathered and remembered, have shaped my writing, photography and the art you see here (alcohol ink on acetate). Artistically, I find alcohol ink to be a vibrant medium for channeling my observations of the world around me. Alive with passion and instinct, the works displayed here are simultaneously bold and textured. The ink and I work together to expand, grow, bloom.
Don’t we all desire that kind of invitation? Consider these pieces your way into such a space.

C. Ruth Neudahl
C. Ruth Neudahl, or Xopa her shamanic name which she uses to sign all her metal work, originally studied as a classically trained painter and graphic artist in the upper mid-west, Minnesota and Missouri. But after years as a corporate and government web graphic artist and designer, she took a bold step in 2015 and went to school in Santa Fe for silver-smithing and silver jewelry design to become the independent artist she always wanted to be. Her view on her work is personally infused with mysticism and animism. Studying as a shaman has focused her work while she does not lift from other indigenous culture’s imagery or religious iconography. She strives to make her own visual mythos and to connect with Spirit. As a many-media artist, she also draws, paints, designs stained glass, and sculpts – bronze, steel, and clay. Find Xopa at www.facebook.com/xopa123 and on Instagram as @designs_by_xopa.
As an artist it is important to me to create work in multiple mediums that convey a sense of the divine. I am attracted to visuals of nature, pattern and repetition that may allude to underlying forces that act upon a piece. This is not a reference to any particular religion, but a spiritual nod to the interconnectivity that we all experience at one time or another. This is the only process that makes sense to me. Money, prestige, ambition, what people think of me – the nonessentials falls away. What truly matters is that we are all a part of nature, to be kind, and to embrace the intangibles of love, joy, and transcendence. I thrive on change - I work in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, book illustration, metal fabrication, silver-smithing, fine jewelry, photography, bonsai, and occasionally stained-glass design. It's all joyful pursuit.
