In Studio E:

Susan Macintire. A painter and pastelist, she uses fun and bold colors to make her style unique. Flowers are her specialty, and the former nurse paints from still life, plein air, memory, and photos.

In the Spotlight Gallery:

"Beadscapes" by Deborah Maklowski. Her mixed media “Beadscapes” are a fusion of two-dimensional, wall-mounted art with the kinetic vitality of three-dimensional work, bearing a deep connection to the familiar forms of the landscape.

In the Artisan Showcase:

Alicia Rappold. Felting is an ancient textile art form of rolling and pressing wool, and Rappold transforms it into modern art and collectible whimsical creations.

Featured in the Staircase Gallery:

"Different Imagination", graphite and ink drawings by Elizabeth Grey
  • “I'll try to take any blank piece of paper and turn it into a piece that can help viewers escape from the world we live in by using my emotions to express an imaginary world as an alternate reality.”
