"The ability of Berlin to transcend generations is what inspires me the most. For me, a walk down Main St. conjures memories of Rayne’s Reef milkshakes while for my Dad, it might be riding his bike to catch a movie at The Globe. This timeless quality (along with a place called Burley Oak) keeps drawing me from the hustle of Ocean City more and more."
Wyatt Harrison is a 26 year old from Ocean City, MD. After high school, he attended the University of San Diego and graduated with a BA in Anthropology. Working the summers in Ocean City afforded him the ability to travel, where his love for photography developed and he saw an opportunity for his own business, Plak That. He currently runs the printing company full time and resides in Ocean City, MD.

"Nature offers an endless source of pattern, color, and design possibilities for batik. I prefer to offer only a glimpse of what lies beyond the frayed edges of the silk. The unpredictability of painting with molten wax, and the tactile quality of the dye process continue to inspire me."

She earned her B.F.A. Degree in 1977 from Boise State University in Idaho. Ms. Harrison moved to Ocean City, MD. In 1980, and operates Harrison Apartments and Rooms with her husband.
