Tripp Jarvis
I was an artist at the age of five, when I started copying the Sunday Comics in my hometown of Holly Springs, North Carolina. I followed my passion for art through school and completed an art degree at East Carolina University. A simple soapstone carving made me fall in love with the ability to shape one of the hardest materials on Earth with my own hands; I knew I would be a sculptor.

Diana Shark
About
Emerging metal artist Diana Shark joined the Liberty Arts community in April 2021. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Diana moved to Durham in January 2017 after a long career as a graphic designer and marketing professional.
Diana became drawn to welding, plasma cutting, and blacksmithing after being exposed to the steel manufacturing industry in Western Pennsylvania. As a person with great concern for the environment, Diana prefers to use vintage or cast-off steel and copper objects in her work. She recently finished a series of commissioned end tables created from antique ammo boxes.
Emily N. Wismer
The first time I saw a letterpress shop, I knew I was doomed. Luckily for me, a fascination that began when I was 19 has turned into a career as a printer.
I love working on machines that have their own histories that I feel only add to what I can do with them. I love the smell of the ink and the feel of working with type or polymer and the tactile process and result of feeding paper into a press.
