Polly Kurasch "I’m a visual artist who works in mediums including paper, fabric, wood, paint, ink and graphite. While my work is visual and non-moving, I try to find and exploit the emotional indicators in aspects of my subject, which when successful, draw out the viewer’s personal experience with the art, I’m in tune with the work of Marino ."

Pat Gilhooly "On my journey to define my photographic vision, I have somewhat paradoxically widened my range of image capture and processing. Now heartily embracing blur and motion, I also still love elemental lines, silhouettes and graphic shadows and reflections. I find myself, however, increasingly drawn to the abstract aspects of wild nature and wanting to eye a subject in a more minimalist view."

Julian Craker " I am a retired Englishman and have developed a love for carpentry and watercolor painting."

Olwen Dowling "The earth with its rich and diverse bounty and our Oceans which may save us all in the end due to Climate Change are what sustain us. I found this out as I was Learning my trade as an artist and have extended this search to the Oceans. It seems each day we are feeling our equilibrium askew with a continuing barrage from outside sources that affect much more than we ever imagined. It’s almost unreal in its intensity and disturbance. No matter who or where you are from, something new and awful has occurred to us all. My way of responding is to find a way to try and live my life to its fullest and appreciate how beautiful it can be by doing my art. And- at the same time stay connected and try for change! Time will tell where it all settles. This is very personal because I decided to go back to a time of study that helped me get centered. That is Plant and Ocean Biology. . Nature and what it brings to our daily lives is the ultimate healer. These monotype, dry points, intaglio etchings , and a few watercolors will center on this experience and hopefully bring a sense of stillness and quietude to the viewer. That is my hope."

Elmer Orobio Wildfire The question is: can we avoid a repetition of the incessant destruction of forests?
