Speaker: Tom Beck - “The Creative
Process in the Art of Robert W. Fichter.” Robert W. Fichter, born 1939, is a photographer, painter, printmaker, and draughtsman whose work in retrospect gives viewers an inside look at his creative process. Fichter was born and raised in rural Florida, a place he considered edenic until real estate developers began plundering the state’s many naturally beautiful places. Consequently, his life’s work became a personal response to humanity’s foibles. He has used wit, humor, and political critique in making his commentary on the human condition. The talk will show the development of Fichter’s work, comment on how the work was created, and give Fichter’s view of the human condition. Tom Beck is Chief Curator Emeritus at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and an Affiliate Associate Professor of Art. |

Theme: Open Judges: Edwin Remsberg: Edwin Remsberg began his career as a photographer at the age of 15, combining his visual talents, interest in photography, and generations of farming heritage to document Maryland's agricultural community. These early experiences laid the groundwork for themes and relationships that remain central to him as a mature photographer. Remsberg started out by traveling around the state of Maryland as a photographer for the Baltimore Sun. Today, Remsberg runs his own visual communications company, Remsberg Inc., that collaborates on projects with organizations such as Maryland Department of Agriculture, Maryland State Arts Council and National Council for the Traditional Arts. He has and co-authored several books, including, Dishing Up Maryland with Lucie Snodgrass, Maryland’s Vanishing Lives with John Sherwood, Outdoor Sculpture in Baltimore: A Historical Guide to Public Art in the Monumental City with Cindy Kelly and more. Remsberg is best known for his images celebrating Maryland's people, places and culture. Though, his passion for storytelling has brought him to 40 countries and all 50 states. He uses his camera as a tool to bring incredibly rich and interesting worlds to people who would not otherwise have such an opportunity. Remsberg’s images continue to exist and develop in these various realms:, documentary, commercial, lifestyle and exhibited fine art works and his inspiration remains in the creation of images that explore the components that make up individual identity. Remsberg currently lives the life of an agrarian artist on his sheep farm in Harford County, Maryland, the eighth generation of his family to live and farm in this community. www.remsberg.com Lena McBean: Lena McBean’s affinity for photography began with her parents giving her a polaroid camera at the age of six. Since then, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photo Imaging at Towson University and has been working along-side Edwin Remsberg at Remsberg INC. Lena takes on a variety of roles at Remsberg INC including photographer, managing studio operations, overseeing digital production workflow, and maintaining a 30,000 image stock photo archive. Her first published book was released at the end of 2018, "Taking Stock," which catalogues the stories and photos of the livestock farmers in southern Maryland. www.mcbeanphotography.com Mary Braman: Mary Braman, a Baltimore-based photographer, provides leadership for Baltimore regional photography groups, including positions on the Creative Exposure of Baltimore Meetup steering committee and the executive council of the Maryland Photography Alliance.
