Having grown up in West Virginia, Anne Hieronymus has said that the natural landscape, as well as decay, have been in mind while she works. She works in sculpture, photography, and colored pencil drawings.
Working in mixed media, Sol Hill's photography-based works distort reality through the use of "digital noise." The result is energetic representations of the visual world.
Kaethe Kauffman's art is often inspired by the connection of mind and body. While some of her works are more realistic, others are abstract transformations of reality. She works with some of her photographic images on the computer, changing colors or adding other images, while other projects are changed by use of paint, acrylic, oil pastel, and ink.
Victoria Lowe's atmospheric paintings and drawings focus on gradations of color. Each work is created intuitively and can take up to 50 layers of sprayed paint in order to evoke the essence of a color.
Trained as an art therapist, Francie Lyshak uses painting to access "inner landscapes." Her recent work tends toward pure color fields and monochromatic abstraction, rather than the illustrative work from years past. This gives viewers a chance to interpret images for themselves, while the work conjures moods and atmospheres.
Inspired by nature, and particularly by honeybees, Nancy Macko's work features a unique visual language that blends history, science, technology, evolution, and ecology, as well as humanity and aging.

Early on, Rob Mango was drawn to New York artists, though he studied works of surrealists and European masters, as well. He moved to the city in 1977, where it continued to influence his paintings. His works have been acquired by well-known figures, such as Robert De Niro, Martin Scorcese, and Bob Dylan.

Dimensions 55 inches by 36 inches
Born in Pennsylvania, Deborah Masters's sculptures, drawings, and painted works focus on people she has known or venerated. Dionysus, from her Spirits series, is an image of her Greek father, who was a pilot in the Korean War and died before she was born.
Materials Graphite and oil paint on handmade paper on wood
Dimensions 8 x 8 inches
Formerly an illustrator in the bio-medical field and later in food and products, Bobbie Moline-Kramer pivoted to full-time artist in 2006, and her work progressed from realism to abstraction, while embracing mixed media.
John Lyon Paul is a multi-disciplinary artist whose meditation practice informs his work. By painting on the back of a piece of plate glass or Acryline, or "painting in reverse," Paul is able to engage both his visual memory and creativity at once.
Painter and collage artist Gail Watkins has said she draws inspiration from the natural process of formation and dissolution. Her works are carefully constructed and then destroyed with boiling water, abrasive materials, such as sandpaper, or graffiti.
Taught to paint by his father, who studied with French painter Rouault, Martin Weinstein began painting as a child. Weinstein takes inspiration from landscapes and breaks them down into floating layers of painted elements on a clear acrylic sheet, allowing them to overlap, creating a level of abstraction and visual transitions.
