Ryniee	DeCheser	The exploration of multiplicity defines the abstract works of my art. Through pure color, I invite the audience to examine that which may carry many emotions and forms, not just one distinct visual storytelling.

Brendan	January	I enjoy painting in oils, and I have been learning by copying from well-known artists and producing my own work.
Tavmeet	Kaur	My artwork emerges out of creating metaphors along with an unselfconscious and natural evolution of traditional oil painting, paper making, drawing and printmaking.

Ridley	McIntyre	Photography with a surrealist sci-fi eye, my work explores a world that is familiar, yet often devoid of people. It has been described as post-apocalyptic, dystopian and haunting.

Today, changes in climate and habitat as well as pollution affect the ability of marine species to reproduce and survive. My intention is to draw awareness to this most precious of earth’s resources so that we will respect, recycle, reuse, and re-purpose. Protect our marine wildlife.

Amy	Thompson-Hill	My medium is acrylic on canvas with a gloss finish to enhance colors and texture.
Lisa	Tornello	Amazing one-of-a-kind artisan jewelry. Precious metals that sparkle & shine, unique gemstones that glitter & gleam – each a work of art, a gift to be cherished.
Jennie	Traill Schaeffer	Art that combines image transfers of tea packaging with layered landscapes of environments she’s explored – to both salvage detritus from the trash, as well as depict space and a need for increased mindfulness. They are meant to make you read into the works – to enter more deeply than simply observing a landscape. The works are painted in watercolor and gouache on Strathmore CP watercolor paper, mounted on cradled panels.
Mary Jane	van Zeijts	I am inspired by the constantly changing landscape, going out into nature, she draws inspiration for both plein air and studio work. Currently working in both pastel and watercolor.
