Todd Brown
received his BA in Fine Art from Lynchburg College in 1980. Since then he has operated a sign business where there has always been a fuzzy distinction between “sign” and “art”. In recent years, he turned “serious” in his pursuit of fine art and opened a studio in Orange, Virginia. He has sold hundreds of prints and originals. Favorite subjects include the railroad, scenes from the town of Orange, Virginia landscapes, Williamsburg and beach scenes from Nags Head, North Carolina.
Kelly Lonergan
received an MFA in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1991. He worked in a studio at the McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville and exhibited his paintings throughout the state before leaving to teach at Germanna Community College and Piedmont VA Community College. He joined the faculty of Woodberry Forest School in 1995 where he continues to teach studio art and art history.
