SCOTT BREMS Scott Brems’ work explores the deeper emanations of the natural world. His acrylic and mixed media paintings, with their refined 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 first love, painting—a vocation that she pursues avidly.

Terri paints from focused perspectives of the natural world, filtered 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 refined 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 fine 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-profit organizations.

JULIE DEVINE Julie Devine is an American artist. She was born and raised in California, and moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1991. Julie paints from the landscape, combining gestural brushwork and knifework into a distinctive, semi-abstract style. Her work communicates a spirited appreciation for the outdoors and for the tradition of painting, in particular the impressionist, post-impressionist, and abstract expressionist styles.

Her paintings live in international private collections and have been exhibited in the Pacific Northwest, New York, New Mexico, and Italy.

Seattle’s Group Health Hospital has acquired several pieces of her work for their permanent collection.

BRENT FOREMAN Brent Foreman is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but currently lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona. Brent received a Master of Arts from MSU-Mankato in 1999. He is a multi-faceted artist who works in a variety of mediums, including acrylics, oils, and watercolor.

Brent’s work is best described as a balance of opposites. It is an anecdote of light and dark, from translucent to opaque. His work captures the nuance and the overt to create striking visual harmonies. Layering, spontaneity, and perseverance are the key components to creating his complex compositions.

RUTH FROMSTEIN Ruth Fromstein grew up in small-town Wisconsin. While her Bachelor’s degree is in Vocational Rehabilitation, it was the various art classes that inspired her. Her art took inspiration from her love of dancing, hiking, backpacking, and nature, imbuing her work with movement and life.

Since moving from Madison, Wisconsin to San Diego, California in 2010, Ruth found a new passion for abstract painting. Combining her years of experience as an artist and a large swathe of paints and materials, she creates images that dance and play in the viewer’s imagination. She embraces her brushes as her dance partners and, with them, swings across the canvas in a chorus of control and spontaneity. While Ruth paints with a goal, she is always excited to stumble into new territory as the materials with which she experiments lead her in unexpected directions.

JEFF IORILLO Jeff Iorillo is a Los Angeles-based painter working in acrylic and enamel on canvas, masonite, and metal substrates.

Jeff paints for painting’s sake; he never stops having new ideas. His ongoing process of exploration leads to distinct bodies of work, whose consistent throughline is a bold abstract approach investigating materials, mass and momentum, color and gesture. He is interested in seizing the attention with an immediate impact, then holding it with a dynamic technique and details that invite speculation.

The work lives at the boundary between control and chaos: a specific, usually invented, technique pushed to its breaking point to achieve a spontaneity and unrestrained quality beyond his original intention.

LIZ JARDINE As an undergraduate student at the State University of New York, Liz Jardine concentrated on textile design and clay forms. Upon graduation, she apprenticed at various textile and design studios in New York City, where her garment designs were sold at several designer boutiques.

Returning to more traditional media, Jardine apprenticed with a graphic design studio and began freelancing as an illustrator and art director. This work paved her return to watercolors in florals, landscapes, still life and abstracts. Today, Jardine flourishes in varied media but especially favors acrylics for their textural and form-building abilities.

Jardine’s appreciation for nature inspires her creativity. She paints from the heart, and believes her collectors can feel her love of the pigments and the composition.

CORRIE LAVELLE Corrie LaVelle has always been passionate about art, design and style. Her youth was marked by her flair for theatrics, inedible creative food concoctions in the kitchen, quirky sense of style, cutting her own hair, and painting the walls in her room.

Although by definition she is a self-taught artist, Corrie feels she has spent her life journey preparing her for the world of fine art. In 2013 Corrie experienced a personal tragedy. A dear friend who was also an award winning artist encouraged her to start painting and exploring multi-medium art as soul therapy, to encourage her to reclaim her unorthodox sense of art. What began as a basement hobby quickly evolved into a shared studio and gallery with three other local artists. Currently Corrie is working with encaustic paint. She identifies with the wax as an expression of who she is – fluid, constantly changing, temporary, and pliable.

KIPPI LEONARD Kippi Leonard’s vibrant aqueous surfaces are the result of pouring custom mixed inks onto canvas, panel and linen. The pouring process is her way of largely abandoning compositional control and remaining open to spontaneous occurrences with her work. Through color, luminosity and light reflection, her work provokes calm and simultaneously deep introspection.

Inversely, her mixed media work is structural and predominantly black and white, with expressive mark-making and the occasional allusion of color. Both methods of creating reflect her veracious essence. Kippi looks to the work of Helen Frankenthaler and Paul Jenkins for their looseness with pouring paint and use of color to form complex layers that while poured, reflect intention.

She also responds to the structure and sensitivity found in the work of Francoise Gilot and Lee Krasner. After an extensive career in interior design Kippi continues the exploration of materials through her experimental and abstract work in oil, encaustic, collage and watercolor. A Pacific Northwest native, she now resides in Palm Desert, California a place that nurtures her comprehensive approach to creating art.

PATTI MANN Patti Mann was born in Seattle, Washington but grew up in Los Angeles, California. She has also lived in Colorado, Tennessee, Ohio and, most currently, Western New York. Patti has been drawing on every available surface ever since she could hold a crayon, and has always known that she was first and foremost an artist. She majored in Fine Art at Santa Monica College in Santa Monica, CA, and attended the Otis Parsons Institute of Art in Los Angeles, but family obligations drew her onto a different path for many years. For the last 14 years Patti has been a Production & Marketing Specialist with Third & Wall Art Group, of which she was a founding member.

Patti’s preferred media currently are watercolor, graphite, and pen & ink, but she loves to explore mixed media, acrylics, and occasionally oils. She has exhibited her work in group and solo exhibitions in the Nashville,Tennessee area and at the West Coast Art & Frame Expo in Las Vegas. Commissions keep her busy, and her works appear in numerous private collections. She has illustrated the book “A Journey Worth Taking: A Collection of Animal Stories” by Norma Vermeer.

NANCY NGO Nancy Ngo was born in Chicago, but moved to Arizona as a young child. Fascinated with light and color, Nancy experimented with painting and photography in high school. She returned to Chicago after high school and immersed herself in the art and culture of the city. In 2001 she received her BFA with an emphasis on Painting & Art History from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She later returned to Arizona, where she resides with her culinary artist husband and their three daughters.

Nancy’s awareness of the dance of light, shadow and color plays an important role in her current works. She cultivates a concentrated studio practice and is an obsessive collector of resource materials, including original photographs, magazine clippings, fabric swatches, old leaves and plastic packing materials. Nancy is fascinated by the discoveries made while creating each new piece of art, and allows her style to change often in order to preserve her painterly freedom.

STACEY POLLARD Stacey started out as a painter and printmaker. Making collagraph plates greatly inspired her techniques and style as a painter. Stacey’s paintings usually involve landscape, either as a study of shapes and compositions, or of structures in the landscape. After moving to Seattle, Stacey has been drawn to the varied architecture and the light that is so different from her old home. The wonderful angles and shapes of these old buildings suggest many new and exciting compositions.

Stacey’s paintings start with photographs, but she quickly puts the photo away and begins editing the composition and adding in texture with papers and other materials. Stacey likes to walk the line between an accurate depiction of what she saw and a more editorial and perhaps emotional reading of the scene.

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 natural elements, with a subject matter ranging from contemporary minimalist representations to vivid and earthy abstract landscapes.

PABLO ROJERO Pablo Rojero was born in Oceanside, California in 1974. After high school, Rojero attended art classes at Mira Costa Community College where he was inspired by old masters’ works in his art history class. He then pursued his study of painting at Otis College of Art & Design and Rhode Island School of Design. Once he developed solid painting skills at Rhode Island School of Design, Rojero returned to Otis College of Art & Design to prepare him to work in the motion picture industry in Hollywood.

Rojero received his B.F.A. in 1998 and soon started working in Hollywood as a storyboard artist on independent films, and also as a production illustrator for the music video industry. He received an offer from a contemporary artist in San Diego to work in his art studio as an assistant. It was his first real exposure to the abstract painting process that allows him to be explosive, passionate and free with his creations.

After a brief tenure as an artist assistant, Rojero became a freelance illustrator in 2000. Later he moved to Arizona and took a job as an in-house artist at a design company where he learned different painting techniques, and also about the interior design business. In 2007, he moved back to southern California and opened his own design studio.

LINDA STELLING Linda Stelling grew up in an artistic family. Her grandfather painted church frescoes. Her father was a craftsman and musician, and her mother a brilliant floral colorist. The rest of her extended family included symphony musicians and a nationally recognized illustrator.

After art school, Linda’s first solo journey as an artist began in an old trolley car station that froze solid in winter. From there she advanced to a beautiful old wool mill where she worked as part of an artist community. It was a great experience, but still Linda dreamed of warmer weather.Linda moved to California and was immediately hired as a commissioned artist for a company that produced art for galleries, hotels and public spaces. For many years she created large scale murals, specialty finishes and unique work for top name designers, commercial buildings and celebrities. She also taught art to adults and children.

Currently Linda is painting full-time, and is continuing the work she began as an abstract expressionist many years ago. Fueled by her interest in color and dream studies, Linda uses her layered experiences and passions to fulfill her life’s work. She is in the studio every day, and when she’s not, she is planning and studying for the next artwork.

KAYLEIGH WOLD Kayleigh Wold is a multi-media artist originally based out of Indiana where she earned her BFA at Indiana State University, studying painting, drawing, photography, ceramics and printmaking. Her vast study of various disciplines has helped her cultivate a broad body of work that is ever changing, developing and intertwining.

Currently her study gravitates towards botany and the unpredictable, imperfect organic shapes that are either found naturally occurring in the world or her imagination. For this reason, she uses the permanence of ink to capture each line she puts down and any imperfections that may have occurred, blurring the lines of real and imaginary. The idea of perfection has always been a thought-provoking encounter for Kayleigh within her art, so this study is both freeing and challenging. Since she was young, Kayleigh has been enamored with creating. Choosing to forge her own way with everything from sewing doll clothes and inventing recipes in the kitchen to using unconventional art supplies and often gravitating to the messier ones. This has created an adoration for each tactile experience a piece of art can create for not only its viewer but also its artist.

Kayleigh has participated in several juried shows with ISU and at Seattle’s Center on Contemporary Art. She currently resides in Seattle, WA living on the beach with her husband Cody and their two adopted cats.

NANCY CROWELL Nancy Crowell is a photographer based in Skagit Valley, Washington, where she finds inspiration in the pastoral farmland landscapes and the diversity of flora and fauna nearby.

With degrees in both English Literature and Film Production, she’s had a diverse career that includes writing, film, photo editing and photography. Still photography has been a lifelong pursuit and the sole focus of her professional energy over the past decade. Her award-winning work has been featured in a wide variety of venues and collections, from five-star hotels, restaurants and hospitals to private collections.

She captures images of flora, fauna and landscape that sooth and delight viewers, from macro images of flowers, to soaring images of birds in flight, to playful images of fox kits, to soothing landscapes, with an occasional abstract thrown in for good measure. Unwilling to pin a label on her work, she describes herself as a photographer who shoots Nature, naturally. One day she might be knee deep in cattails, the next she might be hovering over a bloom with a busy bee looking for pollen, or patiently waiting for an owl to fly. From bright explosions of color to soothing, muted tones, she expresses a wide gamut of moods in her images.

AARON MATHESON Aaron Matheson was born in a two room log cabin about an hour south of Nashville. Art was very important to Aaron growing up. If he wasn’t outside he would go into his room and draw or paint for hours. When he was a teenager he got his first camera. He began to learn about photography, and it quickly took hold and became a passion.

In 2005, Aaron enrolled in Nossi College of Art pursuing a degree in photography. At Nossi, Aaron met the friend who introduced Aaron to his second passion—rock climbing. Aaron quickly began merging his passion for photography with his passion for climbing, shooting images of both amateur and professional climbers and advertising images for the local climbing gym.

After graduation, Aaron was hired to shoot product photography for a Nashville-based advertising agency and then went on to work for a well-known commercial photographer. In 2010, Aaron decided to turn his passion for climbing into a full-time job and began climbing radio and TV towers as a lighting technician. This job let Aaron travel all over the United States, and his camera was always with him at the top of the tower where he captured some of his most inspiring landscape and environmental images to date.

In 2013, Aaron and his wife decided it was time for a change of scenery and moved to Seattle, WA to find new adventures in the Northwest, where they split their time between the city, the water and the mountains.
