 | | Matthew Kraus, Photography
Matthew Kraus has been a
photographer for over 30 years. His most enjoyable photographic
experiences are when he is able to get out in nature by himself with his
camera, settle into the silence of the moment and connect with the natural
scene he is exploring. This experience itself is what is important, if he
happens to come back with a photograph, that’s a bonus.

 | | Karen K. Paquette, Mixed Media
| In Art and
in life I use an intuitive approach to express my style. This way of painting
allows me to visually relate the universal concepts and archetypes that are
rooted in my mind. Mixed-media lets me explore and experiment until what I see
on paper or canvas has a pleasing form and meaning. I draw on 40 years
experience of taking classes in ceramics, weaving, basketry, papermaking and
painting to create pieces of art with multilayer texture and design. I hope the
end result will spark the viewer’s imagination and provoke an exciting visual
memory! | |

 | | Martha Raines, Paintings
I have
yet to work out a personal style to the point where I would paint only in one
particular way. I enjoy working and
experimenting in both watercolor and oil and will always consider myself a
student – the more I paint, the more I realize there is still much to
learn. I think being an artist allows
you to see the world in a special way and one of the reasons I continue to
paint is to share what I see, and the way I see it, with others. What I put on paper or canvas is my attempt
to capture a feeling or “spirit” of a place or thing and perhaps convey this to
the viewer.

 | | Jack Williams, Watercolor
Jack's concentration is on landscapes using photographs as a starting point. His work
is all free hand from scratch. He has a preference for strong colors and uses a
basic technique that is called "glazing". This technique is a process
of building up layers of color until the desired effect is achieved.
