Penny G. Anderson
"Party Girl," watercolor, 26" x 32"
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.

Edward Babcock
"Whisper," digital art
I am a photographer/digital artist because there is an innate sense of beauty within that I want to share with the world. Through my photographs and collages of beautiful scenes, textures, and colors, I seek to connect myself and the viewer with my sense of beauty and the Divine.

Sherry A. Bailey
"Neighbor Lily", watercolor
Sherry Bailey is a Tallahassee, Florida transparent watercolor artist whose art helps her overcome worry. Her technique of randomly mingling paint directly on the paper rather than mixing it on the palette forces her to become completely absorbed in what’s happening on the paper right now with excitement and anticipation about how it will look. Floral or vegetable still life or wildlife is the focus of her current watercolors.

Roberta Burton
"Ruffles and color"
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.”

"Trumpet Flowers", oil, 20 in. x 24 in.
I reside in Chattahoochee, FL with my husband, Jesse. I am basically a self-taught artist, beginning to paint in the mid nineties. I have attended numerous workshops and seminars with artists throughout the country. Painting is my passion. Each canvas/surface that I paint is a new learning experience for me.

Lugenia Dixon
"Nature's Playground", oil on canvas, 11" x 8"
I am a developing artist who is basically learning art though trying different media and practicing with various subject matter. My career has not been in the arts so for most of my life, art has been a hobby. I enjoy trying to capture an image in a drawing but as I ease into retirement, I hope to develop a more creative style and expect art to be a bigger part of my life.

Kelly Duncan
"Troubled Blue", acrylic on birch, 24"x24"
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 colour, 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.

Marguerite Foxon
"Dancing Fronds", photography
I find photography meets a deep creative drive within me to capture beauty in unexpected places and reveal it to others who do not have ‘eyes to see’. In particular I work in the world of macro abstract photography.

Benita Ingram
"Butterfly In Hand", Oil, 20 in. x 16 in.
I have been a Quincy resident since 1975, and have had a desire to be a photographer and artist since I was a teenager. I took photography classes at Lively form 2002-06 and now have a portrait studio in my home. In January of 2008 at age 50, I started oil painting. I paint every chance I get; I had never imagined how much pleasure it would give me to be able to paint, it is so relaxing and gives me much comfort and joy.

Brenda Bethay Martin
"Ginger (Quarter Horse"), oil, 20 in. x 28 in.
My paintings are oil on canvas reflecting the realistic beauty of the subject as I see it from photos I have taken or a client's favorite photo. Horses are my favorite subject but I also enjoy painting landscapes, portraits, pets, and wildlife. It is always a joy to create a keepsake on canvas.

Janice "Ecinja" McCaskill
"Clothing Line" acrylic on canvas 24 x 36
Janice Hall McCaskill (Ecinja) is based in Florida and is one of the premier new contemporary artist in the world. Using a mixed medium, vivid characters and powerful colors, she encourages the observer to dream and create their own stories from the paintings before them. As an alternative to the general title of artist, McCaskill prefers the term "colourist", which reflects her mystical command of the color spectrum in her works.

Cheryl Sattler
"Across the Marsh (Ocklocknee)", kiln-formed glass, 16" x 25"
Cheryl Sattler loves working in glass, which she has done since 1999. Having spent 13 years in Maryland, she is delighted to have returned to her home state of Florida, where her heart never quite left. Her work features two distinct themes: freedom and family ties, and the tension between these two ideas. Having studied with some of the best glass artists in North America, she freely mixes glass techniques to express these ideas. Her work consistently features movement and light.

Robert DeWitt Smith
"Virginia Creeper by Moonlight,"
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.
