|  | Reham Aarti I work in mosaic because I love the feeling of creating beauty out of random things. With every mosaic I make, I am filled again with the understanding that in this art form, as well as in life, all the pieces that make up the whole are equally important in the final picture. To read more about me or see examples of my work please go to my website.

| Christine Barrietua I have lived in Idaho all my life. The unique natural beauties found within our state have become very much a part of who I am and are reflected in the ceramics and paintings I create. Living in Idaho provides me with artistic inspiration, which in turn is closely related to nature. I use multimedia painting techniques on my large ceramic sculptures as well as in my paintings. |

I make contemporary and abstract landscapes, relief portraits and scenes. See my website here. |

|  | Sue Latta I am a mixed media sculptor. I make things. I have made things for as long as I can remember. I can't not make things. I use such materials as steel, rubber, resin, rawhide, cast aluminum, glass, found objects, photographs, wood and paper. The goal of the work is to create sculptural forms that are emotive as well as visceral, work that pulls you in and asks more than it answers. Click here for Sue's website. |

| E. Rose Elkovich I prefer to paint en plein air from life on location and create both quick studies from which to enlarge upon at my garden studio and/or complete a small piece alla prima that day. I am fond of colorful renditions with a dramatic flair for composition and values. Frequently I find landscapes of memorable places that inspire me but enjoy adding figures or doing portraits and still lifes as well. I currently use oils because I love the texture and glisten they provide. Click here to visit my website. |

Gerilyn Feustel While living in Japan with my husband in the military, I was intrigued with the work of a well known Japanese artist. That was my introduction to painting in oils. We transferred to Italy, which was an opportunity to spend 3 years painting with great teachers. Returning to Idaho, I showed my work with the original Ambercrombie & Fitch, which in those days was a safari outfitter. It was a great place for displaying my wildlife painting.
