Born and raised in Birmingham Alabama, Corey Webb is a self-taught artist who works in a variety of media.
His creations are composed by scrap objects he gathers from alleyways, dumpsters and roadside trash piles throughout Birmingham. Corey is compelled by the complexity and patterns found in old computer gear and electronics and sees unlimited art potential in the many colors, textures, shapes and materials. He loves the transformative process that occurs when combining useless and unwanted materials together to make art.
Jamie Adams is an Alabama-based sculptor and potter whose artistic process derives from a childhood spent in a profoundly religious family in the Deep South. Now, spirituality continues to be a prominent theme in his work. His art is characterized by vibrant colors, allusions to art history and pop culture, and an insistent uses of new technologies in his work.Adams’ work has received many awards, including the Flexcut Award for Excellence in Printmaking at the Edinboro Print National and The Karen Burgess-Smith Award at the Ceramics Biennial in Manchester, NH. He has also won Best in Show at the Gulf States Rising Exhibition at the George Ohr Museum. His artwork has been exhibited in many exhibitions and has been displayed in many private and public collections including the Art Museum, Francis Marion University, The Amity Art Foundation, among others. Adams currently serves as Head of the Art Department at Judson College in Marion, AL
