He and his wife Denise founded Music Maker Foundation in 1994 to assist roots musicians in need and preserve American musical traditions. \n\n\n\nTim creates one-of-a-kind direct positive tintype portraits of American artists\, musicians who are the living expression of our nation’s cultural legacy yet remain little known. Shot with a large format camera using a tintype process that dates back to the nineteenth century\, Tim’s masterful photographs celebrate these creators\, custodians\, purveyors\, and performers of American music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBettina Molina\n\n\n\nBettina’s series documents the everyday lives of women in India\, from the quiet concentration of daily labor to the shared rituals of tea that welcome a stranger into the home. It is not travel photography\, but a study of hospitality\, resilience\, and the dignity found in ordinary work and connection between women. \n\n\n\nBettina is a Colombian documentary photographer based in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina\, trained at EFTI in Madrid\, whose work explores culture\, identity\, and the human experience. Her practice spans documentary\, commercial\, and portrait photography\, with a recurring focus on women\, ritual\, and everyday resilience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJo Ann Tomaselli\n\n\n\nA visit with the Suri in Ethiopia introduced Jo Ann to women untouched by modernity\, living in deep connection with their ceremonial traditions and heritage. These portraits invite you into their secluded world — resilient\, beautiful\, profoundly human and full of grace. \n\n\n\n“Defining myself as a particular type of photographer is not possible as every moment behind the lens offers an opportunity to share images of the people\, cultures and landscapes that touch me deeply. My inspiration? Color\, shape\, design and the most delightful factor of all ~ fun!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWojtek Wojdynski\n\n\n\nWojtek is a fine art photographer based in Chapel Hill. His work celebrates the beauty and emotion found in everyday life\, with a special focus on people\, inviting the viewer to slow down\, reflect\, and discover the beauty and meaning with fresh eyes. \n\n\n\nWojtek’s work offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the streets of Havana\, Cuba. Through moments of work\, resilience\, and everyday life\, these photographs celebrate the strength\, dignity\, and spirit of the women who shape the city’s vibrant rhythm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFRANK:inFocus is a project of the FRANK Gallery Community Outreach program\, offering innovative and inclusive art and photography events\, while forming partnerships among a diverse population of artists and our neighbors. We thank the UBS Bank for supporting FRANK:inFocus 2026.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit September-November 2026
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Shelly Hehenberger\, Mary Lee Kerr\, and Donna Stubbs\, as well as guest artist Polina Varlamova. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit will be on view alongside FRANK:inFocus from September 29 through November 14. Opening reception on October 9\, 2026 from 6 to 9 PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShelly Hehenberger\n\n\n\nShelly’s new series\, The Scenic Route\, has grown from a decade of daily mixed-media sketchbook practice. In this body of work\, she translates her recurring sketchbook themes and motifs into large-scale paintings using cold wax\, oil\, paper\, and collage. By cutting\, reconstructing\, and painting over completed collages\, Shelly unveils mysterious hybrids and anomalies\, producing art that explores the wild and the contained. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Lee Kerr\n\n\n\nFor Mary Lee\, sculpture is a way to express something about her place in the world and her connection to others. Her current work focuses on overcoming obstacles and seeking protection and peace amid chaos. Working primarily with mid-fire clays\, Mary Lee emphasizes movement\, curves\, and negative space rather than color so viewers can focus on form. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Stubbs\n\n\n\nDonna’s art explores the way fragments of experience accumulate and shift over time. Through layering\, painting\, drawing\, and collage\, she manipulates and brings these fragments together intuitively. Donna is interested in the space between recognition and uncertainty\, and the unexpected connections that emerge through memory and observation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolina Varlamova\n\n\n\nPolina’s interdisciplinary art practice reflects her experience of immigration and the transformation of her inner and outer worlds. Through a unique visual language of textile\, embroidery\, sculpture\, and installation\, Polina draws on personal archives to trace her evolution. She explores how memory\, displacement\, and belonging intertwine\, and how the body carries the memory of change and life’s finite nature.
