Louise Noel

The big Nevada skies, the rainbow of western mountain ranges and the huge palette of summer flower are the inspirations for my silk paintings. I paint on Hobotai Silk using French steamset dyes and resists. Working with silks and dyes has given me the perfect way to illustrate the world as I see it. Serendipity is a huge force…absolute control is abandoned and desires are negotiated with resists and surface treatments. The end painting is forever unpredictable…often better than planned…and the process is an exciting, exasperating, joyous journey.

Making good imagery is about having the courage to step outside of yourself, releasing any tension and just having fun playing around.
Bonnie Kennedy

As with anything I have done throughout the years, I jumped in to basketmaking with both feet and have tried most everything available. I have found you can make a basket out of almost anything.
Don Kennedy

My art consists of copper and brass media; it varies from flowers and plants to trays, plates, bowls, and wall hangings. Most of the materials have been rescued from the salvage yard.
Donna Smit

I love the reflections of glass and the colors, just as water reflects and captures the intensity of a sunrise or sunset.
Gini Campbell Annis

To me, realism is magic. Not only is the artist working with abstraction of design and color, but also with dimensionality. To create the illusion of depth and form on a flat surface is to observe, understand and recreate the physical aspects of light.
Holly Gardner

I enjoy designing landscapes, flora and fauna and hope to start adding structures and building in my quilts soon.
Jann Selleck

Julia Tachihara

I’ve always enjoyed doing all kinds of craftwork from working with wood and needlework to beading and glass. I’ve been hooked on glass since the 1980’s when I took my first stained glass class.
Kathleen Hallamore-Best

Since my earliest airplane flights those forms and patterns have found their way into my designs. For years I focused on art glass, starting with leaded glass and then fused glass and etched glass. Recently I have been spending more time making jewelry.
Katie Packham

The phrase “no job is too big or too small” certainly applies to my work as I have worked on all scales, including 1200sf of mosaic mural for the pools at the Peppermill, down to the small inspirational plaques that I make on a daily basis and take to local festivals.
Kathryn Dudley

After raising my son I became committed to re-exploring my love of painting. I began watercolor classes in February of 2008 and have been actively painting since.
Linda Rosenblum

I create ceramic wall art, as well as oil paintings. My art invites viewers into my memories so that hopefully, they, too, can appreciate the intricate connected beauty of the patterns and colors that surround them
Lynn B. Starnes

I consider myself to be wildlife “portrait artist.” Whenever a photographer makes a portrait, timing is of great importance. The expression of the subject will make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful photograph.

Most of my work is very linear and precise with close attention to detail and finishing. And of course I like to add occasional whimsical creations.
