 Cynthia has been painting in earnest for the past 11 years, after retiring from a long career as a licensed architect. She graduated with her BA/Fine and Applied Arts and MA/Architecture from the University of Illinois during the 1970s. She has been exhibiting her paintings since 2016, with two one-person shows. Cynthia is a member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Mt. Si Artist Guild. Her works have been reproduced in DESTIG magazine, and many of her paintings are in private collections. Her work explores the concept of voyaging—through life, space and time. Living next to Puget Sound and sailing aboard her beloved sloop “Mirage” influence Cynthia’s artistic themes: marine landscapes and visual explorations of the tenuous edge between the land and the sea. Her favorite medium, watercolor, seems a natural fit with the seashores, lighthouses, boats and fishers (both people and creatures) that she frequently depicts.

 Rebecca Mott is a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago studying the intersection between contemporary painting and artificial intelligence. Her own studio practice and her deep interest in art history and theory, aspires her to be a professor. Rebecca has experience working in a variety of materials. She primarily enjoys painting in acrylic, looking for ways to expand her practice. She embraces a sense of whimsy making organic paintings; but simultaneously inhabits the energy and vibrancy of a diverse community through expressive color and baroque compositions. Her paintings often take on molecular or constellation-like forms that develop from repetition and visual association. Her enthrallment with biology and botany feeds her desire to produce abstract paintings. See Rebecca's Website: rememberrosesart.com and Instagram page: rememberroses77
 Sheila has been doing artwork all her life, mostly painting and drawing. She had her first gallery show in 1975. She has studied at the following schools of art including Burnley School of Art, Seattle, WA, Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, HI, Hoschschue fur Bildende und Kunst, Berlin, Germany, and Frei Academy Art Psychopolis, The Hague, Holland. Her paintings are shown in several international art collections. She has worked in ink, oils, acrylics and sculpture; but watercolor is her greatest love. She invites you to enjoy these artworks. She paints them because she is in awe of the beauty of our earth-its endless and ever-changing clouds, water, sky, forests and mountains. When she paints these landscapes, she sits at her easel and allows herself to enter into a quiet space of no thought. She makes a mark and the painting begins to appear on the empty white paper. She just tries to keep up with its birthing. Sheila's work can be seen at the Art Gallery of SnoValley as well as the Art Gallery of SnoValley Online Store.
