She begin working with the No Voice Unheard, a non-profit dedicated to animal advocacy, in 2006 and is a contributor to their forthcoming book Ninety-Five: Meeting America's Farmed Animals.Some of Davida's portraits of sanctuary, rescued, wild, and companion animals can be viewed at www.wildleekphotography.com.

David Frey (Photographer): As a NJ native growing up in a working class environment, David didn't discover photography until he was in his mid-thirties. His vision is shaped by what he's seen in his past career as a petroleum pipeline operator and his eye is drawn towards things that are rarely considered pretty. David has done professional work for CCBC, Novo Interiors, and Goucher College, as well as numerous professional headshots for individuals and event shooting. David is new to the Baltimore area but has taken to his new home comfortably. He hopes to remain an active member of the area's rich artistic community

Ashleigh Haddad is thrilled to be making her photography show debut at The Strand for this year's Artscape. She has only just recently begun to dabble in photography, so she is honored to be surrounded by so many other talented artists. In real life, Ash works at Geppi's Entertainment Museum downtown, and can occasionally be seen onstage acting and singing her way around the Baltimore theatre scene. She has her mom, Valorie Haddad, to thank for sparking her interest behind the lense, and will proudly be displaying some of her beautiful photos as well.

Carr Kizzier is Baltimore based filmmaker and photographer. His short film "Bump" won second place Audience Choice at the 2008 caMM slaMM.

Philip Laubner (Photography): Phil grew up outside of Boston, MA, playing music, taking pictures and eventually moving into the city to work as a graphic artist. He moved to New Orleans in 2002. After Hurricane Katrina he worked at an under-staffed full service ad agency; wearing many hats, including graphic designer and staff photographer. Philip moved to Baltimore in August of 2007, and has worked as a freelance graphic artist and photographer.

Ken Stanek is a photographer and visual artist. His work reflects his many varied and eclectic interests: From breathtaking landscapes of mother nature, to raw glimpses of human nature; from planes flying two miles high, to boats sailing two hundred miles at sea... the common thread that connects Ken's work is his passion to embrace new experiences and share, with child-like wonder, the world through his eyes.
