Jay Fleming is a photographer who documents life on the water. Born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, Jay grew up with an affinity for the water. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 13 with a hand-me-down 35mm film camera. In 2015, Jay turned his attention to photography full-time after working in the field of fisheries and seafood. Since then, Jay has published two photography books, “Working the Water” and “Island Life”.

Kathy Daywalt is an award-winning artist with 40 years of successful experience in a variety of mediums. Her works have been included in numerous juried exhibitions and one-person shows. These works are in private collections from New York to California. In 2011 Daywalt began to revisit her original art interest, watercolor. She has been studying the effects of the medium on YUPO, polypropylene plastic. Her interest in figures and beautifully patterned compositions is evident in these works. More importantly, her long experience with Linocut printmaking has carried over to this new endeavor as she employs artist-made Linocut stamps as well as found objects to create her richly textured, patterned paintings.

Susan Oberreither is a local photographer who travels voraciously pursuing her passion. Susan’s interest in photography began when she received her first “real camera”from her husband Paul as a Christmas present. Susan founded Studio 2 in 2024 with a vision of building an inviting venue that advances the appreciation of artistic expression.

Harold Ross Since 1979, Harold has been creating distinctive work in the studio, as well as in the night landscape.

In 2011, Harold was invited to participate in an exhibition of landscape photography in Inner Mongolia, along with 10 other American and 20 Chinese photographers.

Hollace Kutay grew up visiting the Cayman Islands and fell in love with the ocean, mystified by the creatures that inhabited its depths. The underwater world has been my artistic muse for the last 15 years and continues to be so today. In 2016 I graduated from PSU with a BFA in ceramics. I now split my time between my two homes, one in Lititz, Pa and one on Tilghman Island, MD. In my free time I am the placement director for the National Newfoundland Rescue and have 2 goofy Newfies that accompany me everywhere, including my art studio!
