Daniel Ramos
Daniel Ramos creates 3-dimensional sculptures, large-scale collages, and mixed media installations. Early on in his career, Ramos decided that the people in his life–family, friends, co-workers–would be the subjects of his work. He uses photography as a vehicle to amplify their presence in the world, and has recently began moving beyond the single image convention of picture making.
Daniel Ramos has exhibited work at Artpace San Antonio and Center for Photography at Woodstock, among others.

Joani Tremblay
Joani Tremblay investigates the perception of place through the relationship between landscape and its simulations and reproductions. Instead of painting from traditional observed landscapes, the artist assembles constructed ideas of a place from a variety of sources including advertisements, postcards, Instagram architecture influencers, social media, mass communications, and field researches. Tremblay assembles these images into digital collages to test hundreds of possibilities before applying paint.
Joani Tremblay has exhibited work at Harper’s Gallery, New York; Marie-Laure Fleisch Gallery, Brussels; and Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, among others.
