Maurice Walcott, Woodcarver

Developing my own carving style has resulted in a variety of wood sculptures ranging from realistic fauna and buildings, to the fanciful.Carving became an obsession in the mid-90’s, focusing initially on NW Indian totem images based on my interest in Anthropology.
Tricia Hemminger
Although I have been a ceramic artist for 20 years, my current passion is glass, fusion and lampworking. My glass art knows no limits. It can be shiny, smooth, bumpy, reflective, reactive, heavy or light. The work flows through me, allowing the glass to come to life in new and inspiring ways.
Patricia Dennis, Fine Art Photography
www.patriciadennisphotos.com
A California native, raised in the Bay Area, Patricia’s photography style has been described as eclectic. I am a creative and the scene dictates whether the outcome will be painterly, natural or abstract. My emphasis is to touch on the emotions and memories of the viewer

Stained Glass artist Jeff Levine says, "All our lives, we are taught not to break glass. What a mistake and what satisfaction in breaking it to your own vision. Many of my pieces combine glass and wood often found on local beaches.
|
I allow the wood to inspire and dictate the direction of the piece – sometimes representational, other times more abstract. I always try to preserve “live edges,” which contribute to the uniqueness of each piece. Living on the California Coast is a constant source of inspiration and materials."

The act of painting is meditative for me, and often results in a painting which engenders a peaceful feeling in others. That feeling is my intent. I believe I can capture the transitory nature of my subjects by using techniques which are available to me primarily in water media.

I've always been interested in art, the old masters style in particular. By mixing my own colors, I’m able to use a limited palette, and oils are a forgiving medium.

Claudia Gray
Multi media I am deeply inspired by Nature and Eastern Philosophy. When I work with paint or with molten glass, I am reminded that everything is fluid and impermanent. Creating art gives me a sense of harmony, peace. I am constantly evolving from each technique that I use.

Peter Harames hosts the gallery several times each month.
Marie Susa, Nature Photographer

|
My passion is nature photography, long exposure photography, and the use of natural light in my images. I attempt to capture the beauty of nature in all its forms, large and small. My creative vision is to share nature as it truly exists.
