Cutting Teeth | Opening Reception
Thursday, October 2 :: 6-9pm
@ Alchemy of Art
Cutting Teeth is an exhibition of 4 local artists who have done more than made their presence know in different art communities and different ways and now we bring them all together. Tiffany Lange, Adam Stab, Julia Gould and Beth-Anne Wilson all brilliant in their own right come together to help us celebrate our 12 year anniversary.
Tiffany Lange, founder of The MadeUpStudio, is a medical illustrator, creative director, and puppet designer. Her work blends the whimsical with the weird, inviting viewers into worlds of quirky companions full of idiosyncrasies. She favors humor and lightness over excessively defined or profound themes.

Julia Gould (b. 1999) is an American artist living and working in Baltimore Maryland. Julia holds a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she majored in Painting, and minored in Printmaking (2022).
My work is focused on articulating moments that offer perspective on the way I, and perhaps we, move through the world. I create compositions that contain an irony or a contradiction between fantasy and reality regarding the environment and interpersonal relationships. These moments reveal my character, often by way of examining desires. Through metaphor, color, composition, and light, the intimation of my work reveals itself.

Beth-Ann Wilson (American, b. Copiague, NY 1983, lives and works in Baltimore, MD) is an award-winning artist, gallery owner, creative entrepreneur, educator, and community organizer. Her art focuses on expressive painted portraits suffused with colorful abstractions as well as energetic landscapes and cityscapes painted
both in the studio and en plein air. Scenes depicted are inspired by the places she has traveled to and explored both near and far.
In Wilson’s current studio practice,she’s drawn to the rawness and grit of the urban landscape and the buildings that surround us — crumbling facades, rusted metal, weathered signs, and the graffiti-scrawled surfaces that tell quiet, urgent stories. She explore landscapes and architecture not simply as physical spaces, but as emotional and psychological terrains. These scenes of urban decay and forgotten corners reveal something sacred to me. There is an unexpected grace in the broken, a divine presence in what most would overlook or discard. Maybe that is something that we can all relate to?
Adam Stab is a self taught East Baltimore based Graffiti artist and muralist whose studio practice includes collage, painting, graphic design, illustration and mixed media assemblage. Heavily influenced by outsider art (skateboarding, tattoo, graffiti, comics) his work tends to focus on the usage of repurposed and non-traditional mediums. Found objects, color palettes, patterns and textures collected and derived from his time traversing the city streets. Stab came of age in Fells Point in the 90’s working in some of its most famous bars( Bertha’s and John Steven’s) and also worked on a team of decorative painters out of a warehouse on the corner of Eastern Ave. and Bond st. The selections in this exhibit include both new work and a cross section of Stab’s work from the last ten years.
