Katya McCulloch: NATURAL CURIOSITIES
I am awed by the power of life’s urge to live —despite our human selves. My original prints are hand-carved and hand-printed linoleum or woodcuts using high quality archival papers and inks. Artmaking is my way to make sense of the world and ponder connections with nature. My process is a dialogue with give and response that spirals to a fleeting moment of clarity.

Throckmorton Theatre Art Exhibit Curator
Ian Day is a Southern California-based digital artist and photographer. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, his mother was an artist who encouraged his early passion for drawing. He began his art education at age six, taking lessons at the Joslyn Art Museum where his mother taught. His advanced training includes a BFA from the School of Art at University of Iowa and an MFA from Northwestern University, where he was a teaching assistant to Jack Burnham and was appointed a post-graduate instructor for several years.
Following graduate school, Ian turned to art direction for commercial and corporate clients. His career evolved into producing and directing film and video for Fortune 500 companies. His independent productions were featured in several film festivals and his screenplays received competitive awards and recognition from such artists as Robert Altman and Raymond Carver. In more recent years, Ian served on the Mill Valley Arts Commission, volunteered at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito and is currently curating art exhibits for the Throckmorton Theatre Gallery in Mill Valley.
Ian works primarily in the digital art and photography realm, although he has past experience as a painter and printmaker. More recently he has begun experimenting with encaustics, utilizing some of his photographic images in the process. His foray into infrared photography has yielded a fresh direction for his engagement in the visual arts. Ian’s work has been exhibited throughout the Midwest and West Coast.
