Peach Rose Studio - Ashley Landon - Best in Show
Jewelry
Peach Rose Studio is the creative practice of Ashley Landon Halabuda, a multi-disciplinary artist and designer based in Rochester, New York. Currently working in a wide range of materials, Ashley uses precious and semi-precious metals and gemstones, glass enamels, wood, and occasionally other materials in her jewelry designs. She draws inspiration from both the materials she works with, as well as different periods of art and design history (most notably the Mid-Century design movement), combining them to create her unique and occasionally quite colorful style.
Diane Castel Babcock
Printmaking/Book Arts
Diane Castle Babcock lives in upstate NY. She is a graduate of Nazareth College and SUNY at Binghamton. Diane has been practicing the art of linoleum block printing for more than thirty years. The process she uses is called the reduction method, because she continually cuts away from one block to create a multiple color image. Her images are created in four to six steps of cutting and printing. As the print is created, the block is destroyed, ensuring a limited edition.

Printmaking/Book Arts
After getting her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator, Laura discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement. Inspired, she learned printmaking, and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury. The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan, and soon elevated her to Master Artisan. Twenty years later, she continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and the sweet, simple things in life.
