Seraphina Gordon Orzel
Artist’s Statement

Daniel Kencke
Artist’s Statement

John Woodard
Artist’s Statement
"My objective in art is to make paintings which are seriously beautiful. I believe a painting should be an object of meditation; a place one can return to and discover new things one has missed in the first viewing of the piece. A painting should lure the viewer into its world, and give the viewer a place for his mind to play..." To view/print John Woodard's complete artist statement, select this pdf document link.

Susie Wind
Artist’s Statement
"I make these paintings as an homage to the people I will never meet, to the knowledge or insight that I will never possess.

Deon Matzen
Artist’s Statement
"As a hearing-impaired painter, color is the most important aspect of my work. Though I tend to be a representational painter, I will often alter the colors within a scene to please myself, maybe trying to compensate for the grey, dreary environment in which I live..."

January - March 2006

Betty Jo Fitzgerald
Artist’s Statement
"These paintings are records of real and imagined landscapes that take the viewer on a “joy ride” where they can rediscover their childhood memories. As children, our trees weren’t always green, nor our skies always blue. I take great pleasure in manipulating the scenery by laying fences flat and turning trees upside down, while using arbitrary color and pattern to create depth in a flat scene..."

Gregory Fields
Artist’s Statement
"I sculpt mostly in fired ceramics. The sculptures are either stained, glazed or painted with acrylics and/or watercolors. My pieces are mostly human form related--busts, torsos, figures--and are sculpted either in the round or in relief..."
