Party Girl, watercolor
My joy is in creating and painting a subject as I see it. Expressing myself through water media is rewarding and exciting. With each painting, I am consumed by the process and the result is an expression of my love of art. Penny G. Anderson | Babcock

Beetle and Trout in Grid, mixed media on panels
You see a lot of color and pattern in my work along with occasional “recognizable” form. Each of these things symbolizes something unique and different to me. I layer colors, materials and images to create a rich patina that seems both new and old at the same time. Julie Baroody | Burton  
Roberta Burton
Ruffles and Color, watercolor
Watercolorist Roberta Burton has won numerous awards for her watercolors, which hang in collections worldwide. I believe in taking risks, both in life, and with my paintings. They often have a life of their own, beginning with the first dance of pigment mixing with water on paper. Roberta Burton |

Virginia Coultas
So Proud, oil
I can’t remember when I didn’t love to draw--then came painting, playing with clay and writing. I love to try different media and techniques. I “steal” ideas a lot and make them my own. My training has come through reading, workshops, and an occasional class through the years. I especially like doing portraits; I am fascinated by faces. Virginia Coultas | Devarieux  
Wendy Devarieux
Distant Grazing, pastel
With a passion for pastel, I paint what moves me, appeals to me, or creates a vision. I prefer landscapes of all types and work in what I think of as realistic impressionism. The result is more emotional be it a response to subject matter, quality of light, or impact of color. Wendy Devarieux | Duncan  
Kelly Duncan
Troubled Blue, acrylic on birch
Kelly Duncan is a self-taught artist who has her artistic roots in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains of New York state, and in the sandy dunes of northwest coastal Florida. Her abstract images combine color, line, and shape in a concerted effort to bring to the surface emotions that are often sheltered not only from the view of others, but often from ourselves.

Shirley Dyal
The Ibis Girls, crayon and watercolor
I like to paint and draw using a variety of materials. Painting fish and birds on brown paper bags are a favorite at the moment. This fills a need to recycle and is just a fun surface to work on. Clay is also a favorite material. Shirley Dyal | Ehrhardt

In photographing people, I strive to bring out the best in people and believe that everyone is beautiful when they smile. My favorite subjects are my 9 (so far) grandchildren.

I focus my energy in capturing my experiences, observations and emotions in the paintings I create. Linda Pelc | Putnam

Robert DeWitt Smith
Virginia Creeper by Moonlight, oil on canvas
Foremost, I wish each painting to provide me in some manner a fresh new experience that perhaps may also provide a few insights to others. An element within a representational piece may suggest an abstract design that I will work into a subsequent painting. This rarely happens in reverse, though occasionally I discover a representational side of an abstract work that was not consciously intended. Learn more at www.rdewitt.net Robert DeWitt Smith |

I have always loved arts and crafts, but only took up watercolor painting about a year ago. I look at the patterns, shapes and colors in nature and want to put it on paper. I am just beginning to attempt letting the paint do the work and more abstract paintings, however most of mine have been nature, marine life, and lighthouses. Susanne Taranto | Thigpen
