| | | | Theresa Burkes I want to communicate emotionally and truthfully to others, but some things are too mysterious and difficult to talk about straightforwardly. So, I try to communicate these things through art. My devices are emotional and cognitive: artifacts from childhood, charged spaces or moments, personal and historical references, visual and verbal metaphors, whatever it takes. I am currently exploring Renaissance and Baroque media to add meaning to my figurative art. Please click here to visit my web site. |

| | Jean Calomeni I work in watercolor on paper, with a strong underlying pencil drawing foundation. My themes deal primarily with human and animal relationships and the difficult issues that often make each of us ask, "What the heck?" View more of Jean's work at snoringdogstudio.com |

| | | Lisa Cheney-Jorgensen Fine details and textures intrigue me. Especially the luscious details from tiny, often overlooked, forms. When one truly sees an object for the first time, the beauty that is found is inspiring. I integrate this fascination into all areas of my work, be it printmaking, painting, drawing or my visual journals. My aspiration is to share these snippets of life with others in hopes that they also can enjoy the beauty of the seemingly mundane. |

| | | Diane Cissel I telecommute to Oregon as a graphic designer and illustrator, but my passion is oil painting. I love the scent of linseed oil and the freedom of a brush full of paint.
My landscape work is based on what I perceive in the real world, although I play with variations in patterns and colors that reflect my experience of a particular scene. I record my perceptions of a place with ink, pencil or watercolors before going into the studio to make oil paintings. I paint my figurative work from my imagination. My website is www.cisselart.com

| | | | 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.

| | | Andrea Harris Although my subject matter varies, it is secondary to expressing what most absorbs my interest: how to use contrast, delicious colors, mood and the play of light to express to the viewer the juxtaposition of inner and external observations as they infuse an irreplaceable moment with meaning. Fortunate to learn from many art professors and other painters, as well as spending much time painting, I continue to explore new ways to present a viewpoint that is both accessible and intriguing.
