Martha Inman Lorch is known for watercolors of her favorite places.  She is inspired by her international travels, as well as her experiences closer to home.  Her style is representational, with a touch of abstract expressionism.  She uses layering, wet-in-wet techniques, and visual texture to express the soulfulness she feels for her subjects.  

Carol Strock Wasson is a landscape artist known primarily for her work in the pastel medium.   She also works in oil, monotype prints and watercolor.   Much of her work spotlights the rural area she lives in.  She focuses on color, shape, and design in the plein air tradition as well as in the studio. 

Margie Hildreth is a watercolor artist who loves the way the medium moves and blends.  It is a medium that requires a collaboration of sorts — a dance between artistic control and then allowing the serendipitous play of water and pigment to surprise and delight.  She uses vibrant color to show the contrast of light and shadow and likes to drop in unexpected colors or splatter to evoke a sense of casual fun in her paintings. 

Diane Fechenbach’s artistic passion is dramatic light and shadow; and clean, saturated color.  She is particularly interested in the effect of light on snow, trees, rocks and water.  She works in a variety of media, including pastel, oil, and watercolor. Her subjects are varied, but she particularly enjoys painting en plein air.

Gloria Chadwick finds joy in the wildlife sketching possibilities at the world–famous zoos, aquariums and wonderful coastline of the San Diego, California area, of which she is a native.  She is a master painter working in oils, acrylics, and watercolors. 

Chadwick is a dedicated enthusiast of wildlife conservation and delights to create art that brings attention to the animals—especially endangered species.  Her works have been accepted in many juried shows and festivals and have won numerous awards. 

Linda Eppinger Johnson was born and raised on the front range of the Rocky Mountains. The diverse ecosystem influenced her western and botanical paintings, pottery and tiles/murals.

Linda uses her own experiences when creating her art. Sagebrush, wildflowers and even horned toads are in the hills of her front yard and find their way into her paintings and pottery.
