Jan Kurtz
I am inspired by aspects of the marine environment, reflecting my career as a research biologist. I love using colorful paint and paper in art pieces and enjoy working with stones and pearls to create wearable jewelry. I benefit from fellowship and teachers and am gratified as through them my work continues to change, elevate and evolve.

Danis Young
I am a Woodturner that specializes in spalted wood. Every time I cut into a log, I open up a new treasure chest … something that has never been seen before. It is one of a kind which is truly fascinating. Building a legacy one piece at a time.

Elaine Woodward
I paint in oils, acrylics, watercolor as well as pastels. Much of my work is representational art but am truly inspired when creating from my imagination.
