Laurel Lake McGuire is an American artist best known for her expressive watercolor paintings created in the realist tradition with a strong focus on landscapes, still life, floral subjects, and plein air work. Her art draws inspiration from her travels and the diverse environments she has experienced across North America.  McGuire’s plein air process involved carrying her gear in an R.V. and pulling it to sites with a wagon so she could paint quickly on location — a method that deeply informs her later studio work.   She uses classic watercolor techniques that evolve into a layered, solid style that conveys both detail and atmosphere.

Barbara A Parish is a professional watercolor artist, workshop teacher and author of watercolor instruction books.  Her colorful, sensitive paintings of flowers and landscapes are executed in the tradition of classical realism using time–honored techniques. 

Leslie White is an American artist best known for her watercolor paintings that capture the essence of landscapes, places of personal meaning, and travel experiences. Her work often reflects bright, intense colors and dramatic shadows, drawing viewers into the emotion and atmosphere of each scene. She creates the vivid color of her vibrant paintings by layering multiple washes of watercolor.

Judy Thompson is an artist of the Great Plains area known as Siouxland.  This area is home to vast fields, big skies and lush prairies that are full of history, diverse landscapes and natural beauty, providing the perfect inspiration for Thompson's vibrant, textured, watercolor paintings.  She explores the intricate relationships that shape the prairie ecosystems and the ways in which human activity continues to influence them.  She chooses transparent watercolor as her medium for its expressive range and adaptability. It can be bold and spontaneous or carefully controlled; shifting from serene to energetic—even chaotic. This versatility allows her to push the boundaries of the medium, experimenting with surface treatments and mixed media to develop unique textures and visual depth.
