Totally Tangled Creations
As a graduate from Baldwin Wallace with a degree in Business Administration and Management, I spent 17 years in banking before deciding to stay home to raise my three children. After my children were all in school, I worked as a substitute teacher. If someone had told me even a year ago that I would someday be considered an artist, I would have thought it was quite funny.
As a self-taught artist I create complicated drawings that are built one line at a time. Patterns are combined in an unplanned way that grow and change in unbelievable and amazing ways. Every piece, whether on paper, wood, gourds, metal, stones, ceramics, or the beach, are unbelievably detailed, unique, and amazing works of art. What I love the most about this art form is that there are absolutely no creative limits or boundaries. Anything is possible one line at a time!
I started seriously pursuing my art in 2012 and became full-time in 2014. I am passionate about the arts as well as mentoring and encouraging young people to pursue their artistic dreams. I am dedicated to making sure that my art will support me when I can no longer do it. Therefore, I am always pushing the limits of what I can do with it.
I have won many awards for my work from honorable mentions to best of show. Design clients include the Akron Zoo, the Akron-Summit County Public Library, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the Akron Roundtable. I have also designed two street murals and a First Night button. OH, YES! I AM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!
Ashley Strub (b. 2001) is a painter from Akron, Ohio who makes paintings built on the metaphysical character of home, existence, and painting itself. Her paintings use materials like mylar or polyester film to attest to the motives of her work. Strub has received several accolades for her work and exhibited across Northeast Ohio. Strub recently graduated with a BFA in Painting and Drawing from The University of Akron’s Mary Schiller Myers School of Art and plans to attend graduate school for painting.
Susie Lilley graduated from The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art in 2012 with a BFA in Fine Art Photography, as well as minors in Ceramics and Professional Photography. Her work has been exhibited across Northeast Ohio, including exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Akron Art Museum. Her work has been accepted into international calls for art as well as purchased by the State of Ohio.
Lilley enjoys both the photographic process, and working with clay, because both require a sense of calm, deliberate, and intentional decisions. She enjoys incorporating nature into her work as it creates a space to be present and consider her creative techniques and approaches to her work.
Lilley has been a resident artist on the third floor at Summit Artspace since July 2020 and currently lives in Akron with her family.
Taylor Clapp (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist, graphic designer, and exhibitions specialist located in Akron, Ohio. Taylor’s artwork focuses on themes of identity. Through exploring moments of daily life, Taylor’s work illustrates the grief and the pain of mental and chronic illnesses as well as moments of contentment and joy. Taylor works primarily with oil paint and textiles, and their work evokes the emotional complexity of their subjects and the tactile elements of fabrics.
Taylor grew up in rural Ohio and has always been interested in pursuing a career in the arts. After earning their BA in Graphic Design from Central State University, they moved to Akron, Ohio with their spouse and pets (Mia and Flopsey). In November of 2020, Taylor created their own company, Clapp for Art, LLC. through which they have since designed campaigns for Summit Artspace, Curated Storefront, as well as multiple small businesses.
Taylor serves as the Exhibitions Manager and Graphic Designer for Curated Storefront. There she specializes in the set up and management of their digital content and displays. Since 2021, Taylor has been involved in running the Groundhog Show, an annual pop-up art exhibition celebrating northeast Ohio artists and creators. The Groundhog Show creates a safe and inclusive environment for artists in all stages of their creative journeys. The Groundhog Show has also served as a space for LGBTQIA+ artists and allies to explore themes of gender, sexuality, bodily autonomy, and queer joy. Taylor also runs the roaming sticker machines—named Stella, Stewie, and Stefan—that appear at arts events and feature stickers created by local artists.
Recently Taylor opened The Little Green Gallery, located in studio 120 at Summit Artspace. The Little Green Gallery is an immersive art experience that welcomes viewers into a whimsical portal to view Taylor’s most recent artwork.
