Amelia Zytka
My name is Amelia Zytka and I am a Mint Hill based artist. This body of work is mostly charcoal and colored pencils on paper, but I also work in watercolor, beading, and stained glass. This body of work was inspired by my research for my Master’s Thesis, which focused on Indigenous petroglyphs and mound sites in the southeastern states.
During that research, I met Native people whose stories inspired me to create several works of art focused on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or MMIW. Native artist, Tobey Rocket collaborated with me on “A Prayer for the Missing,” which was the first drawing in this series. These drawings are based on stories, symbols, and places significant to Indigenous people and to those passionate about the history of America prior to its founding.
Mary Vasto
I am on a journey to find out who I am. I’m inspired by the small things in nature; the patterns found therein. I sometimes lose myself looking at nature, losing time and losing the boundaries between me and the outside world. I am very curious and often ponder the intricacies of science, nature and philosophy. I love to listen to the stories nature tells me and choose art to help me share those stories.
