Color, Rhythm, Glass

About the Artists

Keith Gordon Wisdom, a Bahamian artist, draws inspiration directly from the vibrant essence of JUNKANOO (Junk-Ka-Nu) the national cultural festival of the Bahamas, celebrating costumes, color, and rhythm.  His artwork is held in private collections in Hungary, the United States, Canada, and numerous private and corporate collections across the Bahamas.  In 2015 Wisdom staged his first US exhibition at the Uumbaji Art Gallery in the Department of Africana Studies at Kent State University. His work was also displayed at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, as a part of its 2021 Mid-Year exhibition programming where he introduced a wider northeast Ohio audience to the beauty of Bahamian Junkanoo!

Bob Pozarski is a glass artist inspired by sunlight which has all colors of the rainbow and  fills him with wonder and happiness . He keeps looking up, seeking out sunrises, eclipses, rainbows, and galaxies. Pozarski broke glass, played with fire, and made colorful items since the age of four. He is a glass-blowing instructor at the Peninsula Art Academy and is thrilled to have a career making thick, colorful glass by kiln, casting and blowing glass, and grinding it into prism shapes for his stained glass windows. His compositions are simple frameworks that hold a nice piece of glass up to the light. Pozarski  has won numerous awards over the last 40+ years for his one-of-a-kind stained glass pieces incorporating kiln formed and blown glass.
