Mark Bollwinkel
Ceramic Art "As an ordained minister, now retired, and as an active potter, I experience art making as a spiritual expression. I have been inspired by the vision that artful craft should be touched and used as a part of daily life (Hamada, Leach, MacKenzie, et al). Such art can reflect the textures of nature. It can connect the user to something greater than oneself. Each piece has a story. As do each of us." See more of their work at: PastorPotter.com |

Jill Casty
Fused Glass Sculpture "For over a decade in Italy, Mexico and California, and now solely in California, I have been exploring the wonders of the art of fused glass. In my current sculptures— unique ensembles of colorful fused glass and various metals— I use glass fusion as a painter uses a brush to create textures, impressionistic images, folk motifs, and rhythmic fields and shapes of vibrant color. As Henri Matisse said, I want 'to make my colors sing.' I believe that in our world of chaos and turmoil, there is still a place for an art of beauty that expresses a celebration of life—affirms the possibilities of a continuing harmony, threatened as it is, in living with the natural world."

Kevin Hart Furniture designer & painter "My artwork is based on daily observations that quietly grab my attention. All these little visual diaries add to my palette and subject matter. I combine my waking existence with my dreams. My work serves as a bridge between my conscience and sub-conscience, where there is room for freedom and non-judgement; unchartered territory to explore in painting." |

Alan Masaoka
Stained Glass and Glass Art "My work is very contemporary with modern, architectural glass forms. My leaded work combines cast glass bevels, hand-blown art glass and lead. I use lead not only structurally, but also decoratively in order to enhance the design. The lead moves throughout the window, giving it a bold look and transcending traditional stained glass."

Ceramics and Painting "My Ceramics and Paintings reflect my appreciation of Nature, of Life. The carved Ceramic Sgraffito pieces capture the unique qualities of my subjects. I created the pieces to be used, bringing art into daily life. Ceramic sculpture has long been a passion. I am presently exploring symbolic meanings with combining thrown and hand-built techniques. My Paintings flow out of my Intuition and Spirituality. They lead me into a deeper seeing and understanding of Life.

Lynda C Reed
Figurative Sculpture "I have loved clay since first touch; I feel connected to all of the elements when working with clay. I love the transformation by fire that happens with Raku. My passion for figure sculpture emerged out of ceramics work over 30 years ago and I continue to find tremendous beauty & emotion in figurative work. Recently I started experimenting with brighter surface coloring and textured finishes, as well as more expressive and narrative work." See more of their work at: lyndareedsculptor.com |

Presented by Ann Nall and Friends Stunning jewelry and digital art "Colors, forms, shapes, lines transform my art into something new, dynamic and thought-provoking, using unconventional designs or unorthodox new digital’s techniques.

Christine Watten
Painting, drawing, ceramics "I am drawn into expressing the landscape as a way to advocate for it. Equilibrium /disequilibrium shows itself in the metaphor of the tree. The California Oaks is a powerful personal symbol of ‘axis mundi' - finding the center / finding home, rooting / creating, which is threatened to be pushed off-kilter through environmental chaos and its resulting anxiety." |
