“I am awestruck by the beauty and diversity of the Northwest. I see the fingerprints of a creative God all around me — from the last glow of golden light on a mountain to the sparkle of a meandering meadow stream. This inspires me to try to capture an essence of a scene or a moment in time, and share that with others.”  — David Marty

“I use a palette of warm colors a lot, like ochre and burnt umber,” says Vlad. “I work with 15 colors in my palette, preferring to mix paints myself. I’m not painting the object itself, but rather the light on it. There should be something unsaid, something that gives the viewer the luxury of interpretation, and there lies the poetry… The task for me, as an artist, is to express as much as possible with the minimal brushstroke.” — Vladislav Yeliseyev

Nationally recognized artist Carolyn Hesse-Low graduated from University of California and continued her training at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. In the style of the early California Impressionists, her landscapes, figures and marine subjects capture the changing mood and rugged beauty of what she sees. “I am attracted to the feeling that a scene offers. What appeals to me is a subject that has depth to explore, one that can reveal the feelings within ourselves”.

“With every painting I attempt to tell a story. Mood and atmosphere are paramount to creating a great painting. I strive to communicate these elements to the viewer, in a visual language. I ask myself this question, ‘What must I do to cause someone to walk across the room to view my painting and then assure that they are not disappointed once they arrive?'”. — Tom Brown
