Peter Barnet, EdD |
From the 1960s through the 1990s, Peter Barnet exhibited his work in New York City, with numerous one-man shows at the Chuck Levitan Gallery on Grand Street and West Broadway. His work was reviewed in Arts, Art News, The Village Voice, etc.
As the son of painter Will Barnet, Peter grew up in the center of the New York City art world. Much of his early education as both an artist and a teacher came from watching his father and his contemporaries at work. He was privileged to meet many of the Expressionists and pop artists at the family table or during the summers he spent in Provincetown, Mass., in the late 1950s. During his high school years, Barnet studied with Hans Hoffman briefly, and studied painting with Esteban Vincente.

Denis Feigler, PhD |
Denis Feigler graduated with a master’s degree in industrial design from the Hungarian University of Art and Design in 1985. After graduation, he explored various free-lance opportunities in the field of product, interior, and exhibit design, and then accepted a position at MMG – a major Hungarian manufacturing firm of automated systems – as a corporate designer.
He moved to Canada with his family in 1988 and started developing projects for smaller design studios and engineering firms. Realizing the importance of CAD applications in industrial design, he mastered the knowledge of 2D drafting, 3D computer modeling, and digital animation.
In 1998, he teamed up with Poissant Design Associates to develop products for Yahoo, Roots and Laser Therapeutics. That same year, he joined the faculty of Industrial Design at Humber College’s School of Applied Science in Toronto, and began to focus on building international connections and designing products for Swiss- and Hungarian-based manufacturers.
In 2002, he accepted an invitation from the University of Art and Design in Budapest to teach design theory and to consult on special projects for supporting manufacturing companies. He worked with Electrolux, Braun, and Grohe, led design workshops, and lectured at various events in Germany, Italy and Hungary. He completed his doctorial studies at the Moholy-Nagy University, Budapest, and received his PhD in Industrial Design in 2007.
His special interest is in product perception, semiotics and ergonomics in relation to cultures and social groups. He has published several papers on the topic and continues his research in the subject.

William McCreath, MFA |
While completing his academic program toward a BFA in Painting in the School of Art at The University of Manitoba, William McCreath became seduced by clay and, with the complicity of the director of the school and by administrative cunning, crammed into his program the maximum number of experiences in ceramics allowed by the university. In 1964, he began his professional career as an artist.
From 1964 to 1966, he majored in ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art. In his second year, he was honored by being appointed graduate assistant to Maija Grotell, the internationally renowned ceramist and director of the program. He was also recognized by the institution with the Carl Milles Award.
In 1966, he was appointed to the faculty of Montclair State University and given the task of directing its ceramics program. Since 1966, he has accumulated a number of awards, has had seven solo shows, and has been involved in more than 100 group shows. Most recently, he exhibited in one in South Korea in 2006 and in one in Japan in 2008.
His work is included in 10 public collections and is in private collections in Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

Winfield Parsons came to Montclair State University in 1978 upon completing his MS from Texas A&M University, teaching courses in energy, electronics, hydraulics/pneumatics, and design in the Engineering Technology Department. After completing his PhD in 1984, he received a research grant from the federal Department of Energy to design and develop several systems related to parabolic solar collector systems. The grant resulted in a published textbook, “Parabolic Solar Systems.” Parsons continued his post-doctoral studies at MIT in Photovoltaic Solar Collector Systems.
In the late 1980s, Parsons was teaching energy, design, and manufacturing courses, as well as graduate research courses for students completing their master’s degrees. He was also able to build a design and manufacturing consulting business into an award-winning firm. He joined the Department of Art and Design in the early 2000s, specifically to develop and run a program in Industrial Design. He currently teaches courses in industrial design, as well as several Foundations Core courses, and serves on departmental and school committees.

Klaus Schnitzer, MFA |
Klaus Schnitzer’s interest in photography began as an undergraduate working for the student newspaper, and continued as a graduate assistant for photography at SUNY Albany. Outstanding in his early work are black and white pictures of rock stars on stage, such as Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Bob Dylan. In 1976, he began a fertile collaboration with printmaker Robert Sennhauser in which they combined photographs with evocative texts. Most of the work was done in black and white and was especially memorable when he employed his beloved platinum technique. Color, rarely employed during his first 20 years as an artist, has given his more recent work – photographs of ordnance – a new, powerful dimension.
A genuine interest in cars fostered Schnitzer’s “other” career as an internationally renowned automotive photographer. Assignments take him all over the world and have resulted in books, more than 100 feature articles, and more than 110 cover photographs for national and international publications. His name appears on the mastheads of Bimmer, Sports Car International, Forza, and Roundel magazines.
Schnitzer’s exhibition career consists of more than 160 regional, national, and international shows. His work can be found in numerous private collections, as well as in the Museum of Modern Art, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, Ellis Island Immigration Museum, Polaroid International Collection, and BMW NA. Commercial clients include AMOCO, Bell Communications, Bentley Publishers, BMW Design News, KPMG Peat Marwick, Montclair Art Museum, and Newark Museum, among others. Schnitzer is currently represented by ‘transtock’ (www.transtock.com), axiart.com, and the Forrest Scott Gallery.

Walter Swales, MFA |
As an undergraduate American literature major at Temple University in Philadelphia, Walter Swales’s interest in art was piqued by a series of elective studio courses taken during his senior year. He decided to pursue and develop this interest, first at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and then at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where he completed his MFA in sculpture. He remained in Michigan subsequent to graduating, teaching and making art, until coming to Montclair State University in 1977.
Swales maintains an active sculpture studio on a two-acre property in Denville, N.J., and has shown at Amos Eno Gallery (now in Brooklyn, N.Y.) for many years. He had a one-person show opening at Amos Eno Gallery in April 2010.
