Among the artists whose work will be featured this weekend:

Ilkin Deniz, from Wellington, is a hyper-realist painter who works in oil and acrylic to create nautical scenes that often are mistaken for photographs.

Salem Barker is a master woodworker from Illinois. He cuts, shapes, dyes, laminates and mounts his designs, all by hand.

Sandra Erden is a jewelry maker from Miami. Her piece "Solo Emerald" was created by running a silver slab through a rolling mill. She fire-cut the edges and then finished the piece with gold accents and a stone mounting.

Tolga Zipkinkurt is a miniaturist from Istanbul, Turkey, who created intricate models and wall-hangings. He uses mixed media in his work "to recreate nostalgia-invoking scenes from everyday life and beyond," the news release said.
