Alicia Karli

Editor: Hot Papers, 2006 and 2007

 

Alicia Karli has nothing interesting to say about her past, except to say that old skateboards and big hills do not mix, especially when one is still learning.
Alicia Karli is honored to have been a part of Wayne State's writing program, through which she was able to work on Hot Papers for the WSC Press. Alicia is very grateful for the experience and very grateful she was able to work with such cool people the entire time she was at WSC. She doesn't have a single bad thing to say about any of those fabulous crackpots.

Carlos FryCarlos Fry

Artist: Still Life Moving  

 

Carlos Frey, born in Oklahoma and raised in Kansas, lives now and does his painting in Wayne, Nebraska. Though his academic training was in sculpture, his passion for the past forty years has been painting, his favorite medium being pastel. He has studied with a number of prominent artists, including Harley Brown and Frank Webb, and his work has earned him a variety of awards. The paintings in Still Life Moving derive from a series of photographs he took while attending ceremonies and celebrations conducted by Native Americans in Nebraska.
