Aimee’s work has a strong foundation in textiles. Her designs are inspired by vivid colors, complex textures and the desire to elicit a visceral response.

 

Dana explores essential organic forms revealed in flowers and plants.
She has a fundamental belief that
art is for everyone and tries to offer work that many
will find accessible.

 

Karen has a passion for transforming ordinary into extraordinary. Using photography, drawing, and various assemblage techniques, her work combines found objects with a myriad of other materials.

 

Gary’s work is a reflection as well as an expression of his world. His photography is both narrative as well as being expresionistic and leads the viewer into an appreciation of our common spaces through the frame of the lens.

 

Tom’s stone images explore how mammoth yet fragile structures use balance as, tenuously, they support each other. The stones, serve as a metaphor for human relationships and how we interact with each other.

 

Bobbette explores the relationship between the natural and the spiritual through luminescent washes of color. Using built-up layers of paper pulp, she paints with beeswax (encaustic) and egg tempera.

 

Jayne is known for her mezzotints and monotypes. She exacts precision and control in her etchings and mezzotints while the monotypes are more fluid, with brush-work and color to define the image.

 

Angela is a nature photographer with an eye for detail, from tiny blossoms to vast landscapes. She seeks to capture brief moments of beauty in the natural world, images we're prone to miss in our fast-paced lives.
