SCOTT BREMS
Scott Brems’ work explores the deeper emanations of the natural world. His acrylic and mixed media paintings, with their re ned surface quality, bold brushstrokes, and colorful shapes breathe new life into traditional landscape. Encounters with nature resonate even in his contemporary abstractions—motion found in a windblown sky, abstract patterns observed on a red rock canyon wall.
Enriched by a lifelong relationship with the American West, Brems’ naturalistic reimaginings reach beyond the visual experience to evoke the visceral. Brems studied painting at Arizona State University and the atelier-oriented Scottsdale Artists’ School. Compelled to expression, he produces work encompassing a diverse range of styles from his Arizona studio.

TERRI BURRIS
Terri Burris was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in sunny Hermosa Beach, where she developed her interest in art at an early age. After studying art in college, Terri went on to work as a graphic designer for 15 years. Bolstered in an extensive career in textile, graphic and ceramic design she eventually returned to her rst love, painting — a vocation that she pursues avidly.
Terri paints from focused perspectives of the natural world, ltered and infused with memory and nostalgia. Her intuitive use of color creates subtle layers of imagery that are unique to each subject. The textured, moody and poetic pieces incorporate crystallized collage fragments to provoke each individual’s own thoughts, feelings, memories and imagination.
Terri is a recipient of the Image-Ination Award and a selected artist of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Rental and Sales Gallery, and exhibits her works in numerous galleries and exhibitions. She continues to create living memories with her husband and son in her native Los Angeles.

DINA D’ARGO
With bold brushstrokes, lush colors, and textural elements, Dina D’Argo captures the grace and beauty of her subjects. An animal lover and horsewoman, her focus is on celebrating the bond between humans and nature. Dina works mainly in acrylic on canvas, with a re ned yet dramatic blend of abstract and representational styles. Her work is full of symbolism and metaphor and visually expresses a deeper meaning beyond the image.
Dina began her ne art career over 30 years ago, experimenting with a variety of media, participating in group shows and creating commissioned pieces. After earning her degree in Fashion Design in 1993 at FIDM, she began a successful design business in Los Angeles. Her return to painting full time followed a serious horseback riding accident that changed the course of her life and eventually led her to deepen her commitment to art. She spent 6 years living on the edge of the Wao Hele O Puna Rainforest in Hawaii before relocating to Tennessee. Her paintings have been featured in galleries and private collections in Hawaii, California, Oregon, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Amsterdam, and Jamaica, among other places. Dina now lives near Nashville; when not in the studio she enjoys life with her horses and dogs, and is active in a number of non-pro t organizations.

LISA RIDGERS
Lisa Ridgers was born in Shoreham-By-Sea on England’s South Coast. She spent part of her childhood living on the island of Majorca in the Mediterranean. For as long as Lisa can remember, the passion to create has always been with her. She began expressing this passion with drawing and sketching, and found herself selling her pencil sketch portraitures when she was only thirteen years old.
Finishing her education in the United Kingdom, Lisa came to the United States as a “true-to-life Mary Poppins” English nanny. Her B.S. Degree in Finance and her inherent artistic ability became the perfect combination for a full-time creative career complemented with the strong business sense acquired during her years in sales and the mortgage business. Lisa has developed her own unique style using acrylic paints together with a range of mediums and techniques that, by their very contradiction, create a harmonious, fresh look. Ridgers’ multimedia works have been described as a fusion of bold organic palettes and naturalelements, with a subject matter ranging from contemporary minimalist representations to vivid and earthy abstract landscapes.
