"I primarily work with local woods,” Harvey says, “often with pieces that might otherwise be hauled away to the chipper. My favorite types of wood are Bradford Pear, maple, cherry, hackberry, ash, pecan, and walnut.” But while the wood species is important, the striking coloration of many of Roger’s pieces comes from ‘spalting’. Spalting is caused by fungi that invade the fresh wood, creating beautiful abstract patterns and variations in color. Maple and hackberry are particularly prone to this process. Harvey will sometimes push this natural coloration even further with alcohol inks.
Roger Harvey is a life-long, multi-media artist exhibiting breathtaking creativity. His experience includes pottery, custom gold jewelry, woodworking, teaching and directing an Arts and Crafts Center.

Cindy Aslinger
A youthful love of art is apparent in Cindy’s joyfully realistic watercolor painting. With a love of Chattanooga street scenes, she also enjoys painting florals with rich and striking color.
“My love of art goes way back. I’ve been drawing since I first started copying cartoon characters from magazines as a child. When I was 14 years old I took my first art lessons.” Cindy majored in art at UTC for two years and then switched to a degree emphasizing interior design. She is active in the local art world, including being a member of the Civic Art League and the Tennessee Watercolor Society.
