About the Teachers - Erin Antognoli, Doug Moulden, Ashley Wells

Erin Antognoli earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Photojournalism from Kent State University in Kent, OH, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography from Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, GA. Her artwork has been exhibited across the country, with solo exhibits most recently displayed in Maryland, Virginia and Colorado (2009). Erin was featured in a video news segment of Voice Of America, where she was profiled as a leader and exemplary artist in the field of Holga photography (2008). A former photography and art teacher, Erin continually seeks opportunities to teach workshops and volunteers to jury and critique student artwork to strengthen the next generation’s art community.

"Learning to be open to art is also about learning to be open to life’s journey and the viewpoints of those you meet along the way." So says Ashley Wells, an acrylic painter who makes her home in Northern Virginia. Wells’ journey has involved moving 37 times, but no matter where she lives, her cityscapes reflect her ongoing desire to capture the unsung and overlooked beauty of urban life. While some might say Wells is a "self-taught" artist, she sees it differently. "Every step of my artistic journey has been guided by another artist. Some of the artists whose art I study are long gone, but others I am lucky enough to call ‘friend.’ All of these artistic viewpoints enrich my life and continually open new doors in my artistic experience."

Doug Moulden was born in Washington, DC and studied art from a very young age with the help of his mother, a primitive painter and exceptional quilter. As a child, he studied drawing at the Corcoran and went on to receive a BA in sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University. After working as a carpenter to put himself through college, he found work as a plumber, mechanic and electrician before established himself as a full-time exhibiting artist Doug has taught drawing and painting at the middle, high school, and college levels and now exhibits widely.
