About Zak Duff

Born and raised in the museum-and-gallery-filled Washington, DC, area, Zak was exposed to the arts and sciences at an early age. He relocated to North Carolina and completed a Bachelors in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2010. Following that, Zak worked in multiple area galleries, before moving on to earn a Masters degree in Painting from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, in 2017.

Over the last decade, Zak has participated in four artist colonies, several solo exhibitions, and more than thirty group shows as a member of the Wilmington-based Thrive artist collective. He currently resides in Leland, where he both teaches and produces paintings and illustrations from his private studio.

About Jacob Parker

Jacob is a printmaker from North Carolina. Working primarily in relief and screen printing, he explores the intricacies involved in personal myth-making and self-identification, and the impact which it has on interpersonal relationships. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at East Carolina University in 2014, and then a Master of Fine Arts degree from Ohio University, both in printmaking.

About Angela Rowe

Angela is a native of Pisgah Forest, North Carolina. Although she grew up drawing and making objects, she took other career paths. Angela worked as an architectural historian, in arts administration, and managed high complexity global projects for IBM. She holds degrees in American Studies from Davidson College and Information Systems, Cameron School of Business, UNCW.

Since 2013, Angela has focused on making art. She began by taking classes at the Museum School at Cameron Art Museum, and in May 2018 Angela received an AFA in Visual Art from Cape Fear Community College. She has maintained a studio practice at ACME Art Studios since 2014.

About Nathan Verwey

Nathan, a lifelong creator originally from Wisconsin, moved to Wilmington more than a decade ago to pursue acting. While immersed in the creative environment of the Cape Fear region, he further explored his artistic side. Initial forays with an easel set gifted  to him by his father ignited a passion and led him to pursue two associate degrees at CFCC and a degree in studio art at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Randy McNamara lives in Hampstead, North Carolina, where he maintains a studio and teaches painting at the Leland Cultural Arts Center. Previously, he lived in Los Angeles California, exhibiting his work at Gallery 825 and various other venues in the region.
He has an M.F.A. from Indiana University in Bloomington, and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Kansas. While at KU, he discovered and named an isozyme of wild sunflowers and was also Outstanding Senior in Ceramics.
His background in biology has influenced his work primarily through the use of biomorphic forms and the notion that everything functions within an interconnected matrix of infinite elements in flux. A puzzle being assembled, disassembled and reassembled for eternity. His work employs acrylics and paper applied to canvas in a painterly manner with an interest in color, rich surfaces and the conundrum of the center.
The exhibition of McNamara’s work at the Wilma W. Daniels Gallery runs from June 24 through August 2, 2019, with receptions on both June 28 and July 26, at 6:00 p.m.
