Selected Works
Sandy Evans “Working in acrylic allows me the flexibility to experiment and to put color down quickly, but then to change things if necessary. For me, this process creates spontaneity to let the colors and ideas flow.”
Rebecca Arthur “My work is hand built, wheel thrown or a combination of both. I concentrate on low-fire techniques such as raku and pit firing. I am delighted to share my always evolving, always inspiring journey.”
Melissa Gannon “Each painting is a journey of discovery. I love to explore layering and arranging colors into vibrant patterns of light and beauty that unfold onto the canvas and reflect the joy inherent in the world around us.”
Lee Jacobson “Nature around me provides ongoing inspiration; its remarkable textures provide limitless ideas and new directions to explore. I enjoy using found objects and odd tools, frequently repurposing each to create unique surface embellishments on my works.”
Laura O’Brien “I love to compose paintings within paintings, drawing the viewer into an intricate world of hidden details. My breakthrough pieces shape the direction of my future work, making each new painting more intriguing than the last.”
Mari Aoki Knight “My inspirations come from colors and forms of nature – organic shapes and colors. Flowers in the spring. The brilliant colors in the summer sunshine and its juxtaposition to the enhanced shadows formed by the leaves in the fall. Withering winter flora.”
