Jack Beauchamp
I’ve always been a maker of things. Upon Graduation from Northern Arizona University I moved to Ohio to start Salt ‘O Thee Pottery. The things I made there are functional salt-glazed stoneware forms. My focus at Marietta College is to provide a functional foundation for the Ceramic Arts.
Frederick Jesser
I was born and raised in the hills and valleys of West Virginia. I graduated from Woodberry Forest School near Charlottesville, VA and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, WV.
Beth Nash
Making art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. The pleasure of drawing on walls as a child is still with me. As an undergraduate I focused on drawing and stone lithography with a focus on the human figure. I have worked as a portraitist for most of my adult life.
Jolene Powell
Jolene Powell received her MFA from Boston University and is currently Chair of the Art and Design Department at Marietta College. In 2008 Powell was named a McCoy professor, which is Marietta College’s most prestigious teaching award.
Ron Wright
I collect objects. Most of it is what some might consider "junk". I collect objects because they appeal to me in different ways; their texture, color, form, my emotional or intellectual response to them, their relationship(s) with other objects, etc...
