Corinne Manning (b. 1983, Neptune, NJ) believes in work that has a
life behind the words: a beat, a breath and a will. She sees her own
work as a collaboration with the reader: the reader gives the piece of
work it’s breath and the writer’s job is to prepare the piece fully so
the story can animate to its true self. Her fiction explores what’s
often left unacknowledged and unquestioned in every day life, with a
particular attention to the effects of gender and spirituality.
She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2005 and completed her MFA
at UNC Wilmington in May. At UNCW she was a teaching assistant in the
Publishing Laboratory where she designed books and broadsides. Before
moving to Wilmington she co-founded the Other Means Reading Series in
Brooklyn, NY; a monthly literary reading and fundraising event that
supported a different non profit each month. She also teaches yoga.
Corinne gains a lot of nourishment and inspiration from learning and her
newest endeavor is learning to play the saw without the help of you
tube. Her biggest accomplishment on that front was figuring out that the
feet are not involved in playing it. Another central piece of
nourishment for Corinne is to be deeply involved with the community
around her. She is looking forward to participating fully with HUB-BUB
and the Spartanburg community.

Ian Shelly (b. 1983, Lubbock, Tx) grew up on the rolling plains of west Texas in the laboratories and offices of the chemistry building at Texas Tech University. As the son of a chemistry educator father and biologist mother, the languages and materials of the science world have influenced his life heavily. An upbringing around his scientist parents and his military minded brother has molded his interests in the fields of weapons manufacturing, scientific research and ceramic art-making. This atmosphere of influences is the core to all Ian’s imagery and thought. He began his formal art education as a functional potter and only within the last three years has incorporated the more stylistic narrative themes of his drawings into his world with clay. The immensity of the ceramic world and industry has made ceramic sculpture the ultimate testing ground for work that both exalts and deplores man’s inquisitive nature. Ian hold a BFA in Ceramics from Texas Tech and an MFA in Ceramics from u. Missouri.

Kerri Ammirata (b. 1983, Glencove, NY) is a painter and printmaker who believes in the magic and poetry in art. Trained as a landscape painter, her work is strongly influenced by nature, specifically its patterns and rhythms, and by the spiritual intensity created in Australian Aboriginal artwork. Her current work deals with the idea of creating as a human and how it relates to the moment. She is interested in meditation and how a heightened sense of awareness of the body and mind can inform and change a piece of art.
Kerri recently received her MFA in Painting from Boston University in 2010, where she was interviewed as the “Six to See” in the Boston Globe, reviewed in Artnet magazine, and a finalist for the Kahn Award. She received her B.A. in Fine Arts and Family Science from Anderson University in 2006 and studied for two summers at the Chautauqua Institution residency program where she was awarded full-tuition scholarship.
