Mirage 2012
Maizie Kay McMillan is new to photography. She recently graduated from Cochise College with a degree in journalism and media. She lives in Benson with her family. Her favorite subjects for photos are animals and landscapes, but recently she diverged into portraits with a fellow photographer. She showed her work in a student gallery in Douglas this past December and plans to continue working in the field of photography. Carmen Megeath was born and raised in Wyoming and educated in Salt Lake City. She has spent many decades living in the beautiful old mining town of Bisbee, a European-like village plunked down in the middle of the Mule Mountains. She is happy, even grateful, to live on the edge of the empire, along the borderlands of Sonora, Mexico, and loves, as other writers on the West have, the solace of open spaces. Jack Miller is retired from the packaging materials field. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and masters degree at the University of Arizona. He is a soft-edge painter and colorist influenced by the expressionists, impressionists, post-impressionists, and others of the modern art movement. Valla L. Miller likes photography, and the digital camera and computer have become her means of artistic expression. Without formal training but influenced and encouraged by her husband, she has developed a discerning eye for beauty and broadened her choice of subject matter. Since moving to Sierra Vista, she has won several awards for her work. Cathy Murphy is a professional photographer who lives in Old Bisbee, Arizona, with her doggies Peaches and Rosie. She teaches digital photography classes, also known as Digital Media Arts DMA 140 and DMA 266, at Cochise College. Her photos may be found in Bisbee at Pan Terra; in Phoenix at ALAC (Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center), and occasionally at Bisbee’s Farmer’s Market. She is represented online by Getty Images.
