• Marg Kuhl: Record keeping in a colorful and physical way is how Marg describes her art. Marg captures her constant and fleeting ideas using whatever means is at hand - a sketch, a photo, journal entry & many other means of data collection!

• Susan Martin: Martin's "super-real" perspective reflects an absorbing fascination with texture & pattern, revealed by dramatic lighting and intensified with color. Commonplace subjects are transformed into sensuous abstraction through scale and focus.

• Ellen Pavlakos: As a figurative sculptor who likes to work in portraiture and the human form, Ellen uses clay, plaster, stone or wax to express herself. After a round of banding, cutting, pushing and stretching, beautiful forms emerge into tangible icons with Greek influences.

• Lynn Spencer: Dream fragments, personal observation, religious allusions and influences from her children all combine into an unforeseeable outcome for Lynn. In her most recent body of work Lynn uses paint and scratchboard technique to illustrate these influences.
