Richard Garrison says, "My work involves collective processes that reflect my observations and interactions with the ordinary elements of urban and suburban spaces. I create abstractions of the familiar, such as department stores, parking lots, housing developments, institutional spaces and daily tasks. Sites are interpreted with various surveying methods including GPS (global positioning system) mapping, color matching, architectural measuring, photographic methods, and process drawing. Collected data is structured to define an objective yet intimate encounter with banality." [Visit Richard Garrison's Website]

Joyce Kozloff earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in art education in 1964 from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Columbia University in 1967. She has taught at several universities, including the Chicago Art Institute, the School of Visual Arts in New York, and Cooper Union in New York. Kozloff was one of the leaders of the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s, which worked to erode the boundaries between traditionally male-dominated fine arts and traditionally feminine applied arts. She spent much of the 1980s working on public commissions with ceramic tiles that explored the traditional patterns of various cultures. During the 1990s, Kozloff turned to another off-limits subject for women, pornography, which she treated like patterns to create decorative images. Her work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. She has also received two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and one grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. She is represented by DC Moore Gallery in New York City.

John Morra, now a Columbia County resident, was born in Meridian, Mississippi, in 1962 and was raised and educated in Southern California. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Westmount College, Santa Barbara, California, in 1985 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1987. Graduate study brought Morra to New York, where he received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art in 1991. Since 2000, he has been a visiting instructor at the Seattle Realist Academy. Morra's first solo exhibition with Hirschl & Adler Modern opened in the autumn of 2002, and his most recent, New Still Lifes, was on view in the spring of 2005. Morra has also exhibited at Hirschl & Adler in group exhibitions, including New York Classicism Now (2000) and The Paint Group (1999); his next solo exhibition at Hirschl & Adler Modern is scheduled for 2007.
