| | | Lee Higman Lee Higman is a lifetime artist and received an MFA from Claremont Graduate School and a BA from Scripps College. She paints with oils on paper and likes the medium because it readily combines all the attributes of oil from transparency to opacity and has a spontaneity and freshness about the paint process.
Lee lives on a ranch in Custer County, Idaho. She is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her, the peace found in isolation and grandeur and the comfort and joy of living with animals. Her paintings reflect an “interbeing” theme, finding peace, joy, and connection with all life.

| | | Anne Peterson Klahr I am a painter. I have a BFA, MFA and a secondary art education degree. I taught art in the Boise Schools for thirteen years. My recent series Cloaks and Robes studies draped human forms. This attire elevates the wearer. A judge, angel, healer, royal, mystic and graduate are all robed subjects to be explored. Cloaks and robes also appear in costumes for fictional and mythical figures. Remember donning a cape as a child and immediately becoming more powerful? |

| | | Patricia McDermott My work is about expression of mood, thought and feeling. I'm inspired by my day, happenings in my environment, an observation, the joy of that "new clothes" smell, the pain of a heartbreak. I love color and texture and lots of action and intensity. I become very involved physically when I paint. My goal is for you to feel and to be moved very strongly, to look, do a double take and then not be able to look away.

| | | Patt Turner Nature informs my work. She lends images with which to explore color, shape, and space relationships. It is not my intent to portray a specific place but to use the natural world as a catalyst to express something deeper than its visual aspect; perhaps a mood, feeling, memory or impression. I collect her images and then use them to create my own world and invite the viewer in.
