Featured Artist,
Joan Webster-Vore

As an ongoing 35 year study, Webster-Vore observes and captures the changing, ephemeral, illusive quality of water. The areas of study predominantly come from a period in February/March 2022 in Northern California. Working in Clear Lake as well, Webster-Vore observes the reflections under the docks where one can see under the boats or under the lifts, with the sky reflected from above.

Featured Artist,
Sonja Johnson

As an impressionist painter, Johnson took an interest in farm animals in their simplicity. Considering their motion, instinct, and experience.
Her technique lies in gestural lines directly on the canvas. Mapping out the composition. Trying to convey warmth through color with thick and think layers of paint.
