Bethany Stephan is an American painter born in Hawaii and currently residing in Arizona. She creates landscapes and figurative paintings, working in oil on panels - drawn from her most precious memories of Hawaiian beaches with family and friends, or hiking the canyonlands of Arizona. The theme of her work is a combination of nostalgia, environmental awareness, and a desire to capture and preserve the natural beauty of the world in her paintings.

Bethany was introduced to art and oil painting by her artist grandmother, whose knowledge and inherited tools have proven themselves useful to today. Many happy afternoons were spent painting side by side and learning techniques from her.

Joey grew up in Ft Wayne, Indiana and pursued her early love of drawing as a Fine Art major at Miami University of Ohio. Her journey in the world of art took a detour when she moved to Colorado and followed a career path in oil and gas exploration spanning 25 years in Denver and then in Tulsa, OK. Joey’s artistic outlet during those years was photography. “Composing a good photograph is much like composing a good painting; both must read well and tell an interesting story.” After retiring, she eagerly returned to art and was pleased to see that old talents could be renewed. She has immersed herself in painting and enjoys both pastel and oil as mediums for her realistic style

Only beginning my art journey 10 years ago, it was born out of a desire to capture the beauty before me, especially with the immersive experience of plein air painting.

More important than my academic training, I feel fortunate to have learned so much from some of the best artists and teachers in the country including Lorenzo Chavez, Kim Lordier, Jill Carver, Skip Whitcomb, Eric Merrell and Matt Smith. Through these teachers I have discovered a true connection to the beauty of the landscape through plein air painting, or simply, painting outside, the thrill of capturing the light and consuming the beauty before me. To me, handling the pure pigment of pastels is fascinating and beautiful, offering the ability for delicate glazing creating a vibration of color not possible with other mediums.”

By far her favorite subject is the landscape around her, including vineyards, pastures, seascapes, tall trees, and often with some architecture for added interest.

Mary Frankel grew up in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains and studied architecture and design. In her early thirties, she moved with her family to London, where she traveled extensively throughout Europe in the incredibly rich artistic environment there. Frankel's artistic expression and desire was thus ignited into a passion for painting the landscapes and people passing through her world. Frankel now divides her time between Estes Park, Colorado and Texas.
