"Sharing beauty, serenity, inspiration, and even drama with others drives me to paint. My abstract, acrylic, multi-layered paintings are my dreamscapes - evocative of the varied land and seascapes which inspire me. I prefer to paint from my imagination and intuition rather than a picture or sketch."

Anna Eppel

My art is about constant response. Every brush stroke or act has a very specific way it has to be done. It has to feel fresh and precise. Unexpected combinations often lead to a mystic effect. Painting, sculpting, photographing, video or performance, are all used to create my work.

Janet Felton

As a former graphic designer my interest in the arts in not only 2D. I love to draw as well as work in ceramics. The forms I create in porcelain are functional and refined. I also have created a whimsical population of porcelain polar bears in order to call attention to the plight of their loss of habitat. My drawings are my attempt to capture the personality/essence of the animal or subject.
