Ana Flores was born in Cuba and now spends her time making art in Rhode Island and Nova Scotia. Her site is well designed, very easily navigated and loads quickly. I especially like the related text and links that she includes when displaying some of her pieces. It would be nice to see larger versions of some work, or detail shots, but overall this well designed site is a very good introduction to her work and community involvement.

was born in Washington D.C., and now has her studio in Naragansett. I find her work more art than craft, but she is very involved with teaching the craft of her art, teaching classes in glass bead making. She even has a very informative and well organized section on electroforming and working with hot glass on her site. www.katefowle.com

Bill Heydt's website is simple, clean and bright, which suits his work very well. His watercolors are full of energy and life and are as full of light in reality as they appear on a computer screen. Check out his "personalities" section and you may even see a familiar face or two. www.williamheydt.com

On visiting David's website I was surprised to realize that I had seen his work on a studio tour in Rumford about a year before, at which time it stopped me in my tracks.This is good stuff. It has a bit of a William Congdon, Morris Graves thing going on. www.davidhazlett.com

Do you remember the robotic WaterSpiders in Waterplace park in 2001? Then you've seen the work of Remo Campopiano. On his home page Remo states "it's just my nature to share...it's in my blood," which is obvious and what I like best about his web site. In addition to his finished and ongoing projects, he's not afraid to post a wealth of not-yet-realized ideas—opening his sketchbooks, so to speak. If you click on the ideas tab you can browse the pages. If you spend much time on his site you will discover some broken links, but there is so much content on this site that it's only a minor flaw.

Providence artist Boris Bally is one of five Rhode Island artists who are participating in the exhibit "Trashformations East, the art of recycling" which runs January 15 - May 1, 2005 at the newly revamped Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA. He also has a website which features a lot of his work nicely organized and presented along with thorough information on materials, dimensions, etc. I like the drop down "go to...." navigation. It's not fancy, but it gets you there. You may know his work as the funky platters made of old street signs which pop up in local craft and recycled-art exhibits around town, or as the tower of rusting handguns embedded in concrete in front of the courthouse in Providence, but to see the full scope of his work, check out his website. www.borisbally.com

Bob Rizzo, who ran the Parks Department's Office of Cultural Affairs for more than 15 years before retiring in 2004, is one of five Rhode Island artists who are participating in the exhibit "Trashformations East, the art of recycling" which runs January 15 - May 1, 2005 at the newly revamped Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA. His website is a bit clunky as far as navigation goes, but his work makes it well worth a visit. His paintings have the feeling of ancient spirituality, his photos are lovely, but the sculpture is especially fascinating. Click on sculpture photos for his comments on the piece, and multiple and close up views. www.bob-rizzo.com | Read Bill Van Siclen's story about the R.I. artists exhibiting in Trashformations East
