Patt Huss
“Art speaks to me more than words as I search for meaning and purpose in every mark I make. It’s exhilarating when I feel I can convey this to the viewer of my work. My ultimate goal as an artist is to create richly textured paintings that reflect the way I feel about the beauty and mystery that nature holds."

Michelle Richeson
"My art is a visual expression of facets in my life, be it my surroundings, places I’ve traveled, or people I’ve met. I find myself searching for subjects that will challenge me and let me play with my style of fracturing and extending lines to create a sense of movement."
