"When people refer to my work as "paintings", I tell them that they are drawings, mixed media drawings. I'm a draughtsman; that's what they call people who draw the figure." Mary Anderson

Doreen experiments with found objects and antique treasures to form collages. Her watercolors, mainly landscape, floral and still life are from life or from her photographs. Visitors to her studio often remark on the variety of work including greeting cards printed on an old fash- ioned washing machine wringer.

My interest and excitement for the world of art began as a small child. I received my first award in the city wide Los Angeles Art Exhibit as a high school student. Over the years I have devoted my time to studying different art forms and found my niche in watercolors. The unpredictable, spontaneous medium of watercolors allows me to challenge myself and the medium. I am currently working on the next calendar featuring Chino Farms and of course, the late ambassador of good will, Romeo.

After 37 years as a community college biology instructor, I'm finally free to pursue a life-long desire to do art. Before retiring in 2000, I enrolled in art history and a variety of studio art classes, with a focus on ceramic sculpture. The scenic beauty of the Central Coast has prompted me to take up watercolor painting. The two media are often complementary; one medium inspires fresh ideas in the other. I'm never bored, even with my short attention span. -- Stephen Kellogg

Shirley Kirkes Mar

The suggestion of music unconsciously resonates from each painting. You can feel the dancers engage in a realistic participation of their human drama. The sustained, pervasive sense of time, the tilt of the head, the body extension, breathes life into its awareness of human talent.

Art and creativity have always been a presence in my life. A self taught artist, I am intrigued by book arts, mandalas, collage, and non-traditional ways of expressing myself artistically. The very foundation of my creativity and artistic expression is based on a spiritual relationship with the earth and universe, thus my work contains deep spiritual symbolism.

After leaving a career in the medical field I was able to explore the world of art. trying oils and acrytics and finally discovering my favorite medium, watercoler. I love the spontaneity of colors blending uniquely on the paper .The inability to compietly control the paint is to me half the fun.
