Mary Boshardt

Boshardt's colorful and vibrant work consists of acrylic and mixed media paintings,embelleshed masks and original hand pulled prints.

The intention of the art is to go beyond the conscious mind, touching the heart of both the artist and viewer, hinting at a mystical source that seeks to reconnect.

Dale Latta

For me, making a painting is the act of preparing a visual feast. I want my pictures to be rich, active, and engaging. To this end, I render realistic images with fluid, assertive brushstrokes and intense color.

My paintings derive from photographs of places and people which have had a significant impact on the course of my existence. The emotion these pictures hold for me is revealed in the tension which develops between the realistic image and the thick, color-laden brushwork.

"Good Art won't match your sofa"

Katee McClure-Dahlstrom

For me, nothing is more personal or rewarding than when you can "touch" art.
I play with clay because it makes me feel good, and I love it when my sculptures make me laugh.
Most of my creations come from that strange place that I call my mind.

Elizabeth Stannard

My primary medium is oil.
Currently, people are my subject matter of choice.
I have been influenced by the stark imagery of artist Georgia O’Keefe and more recently by the vibrant color and irregularities in Warhol’s canvases.
I like to refer to my body of work as a "celebration of feeling". Each painting is a reflection of the emotion triggered by my spiritual and psychological growth.
