Jamie Panzer

5305 Bolm #9.1, 828-8489, www.ismism.net/art

There are so many great artists at Big Medium, but don't let yourself miss the weird wonders this sculptor and collagist fashions from found objects and overclocked gray matter.

What this woman does with oil paints on canvas sets our eyes and minds on fire.

Katy David

The artist specializes in pysanky, creating intricate patterns on eggshells via careful batik. The resulting objects are delicate and beautiful enough to make the entire House of Fabergé seethe with envy.
