My paintings tend towards realism, focusing on light, contrast, and remaining loose enough to hold space for my own interpretation of the subject. My work is inspired by nature and the beauty of creation.

In her ceramic work, Kasey uses clay to sculpt expressive, imaginative face jugs and biomorphic nature forms with the goal of inviting playful curiosity in the viewer.

Kim’s passion for oil painting began by sharing the wonderfully eccentric world of birds, their quirky personalities, and, of course, the wide variation in coloring and texture that is evident in hundreds of spectacular species across the globe. Following a very powerful and enlightening retreat in the sacred mountains of Tepotzlan, Mexico, she has recently transitioned to portraying the spirit and feminine divine energy present in all women around the world.

The creative process itself combined with the thrill of discovery are what continue to energize and propel Scott to the next artistic endeavor.

Adam works in oil, graphite, ink on paper and canvas, exploring perception, psychology and conceptual narratives. Preferring paintings as experiences rather than advocating messaging, one goal is to not present art as solutions or problems to be solved - this potentially reducing them to single dimensions - but rather as sites for contemplation of related and shared experiences.
