Her art is based on the duel cultures in which she grew up on Okinawa. The focus on the flora and fauna of an area is her way to become part of the environment. Her hope is for you, too, to feel a part of the environment through the plants and animals shown.

Terrie Ridenhour - Paintings
The love of my life has always been horses and cattle. I went to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo to pursue that interest, but life is unpredictable. While still very interested in ranching and that way of life, I went to work for CAL FIRE and ended up retiring from fire-fighting after thirty-one years. I also kept a small farm, raising cattle, horses and chickens. Ranching has always been part of who I am.

ARTISTS TWO
Peggy Jane Murray - Watercolor and Serigraphy
I work in both watercolor and print techniques to create whimsical, kimono-clad animals. When I am not painting, I employ a technique known as serigraphy to create my work. It is a handprint process in which I push ink through a stencil onto paper. The stencil is mounted on a fabric mesh, which is mounted on a wooden frame. Each successive color in a print requires its own stencil and is printed separately. The process demands weeks or even months to complete an image.
When I begin a painting I experience a sense of appreciation. As I paint, it is like solving a mystery. When the painting is completed I feel happy and satisfied. My art brings me focus, a peacefulness and joy in a way nothing else ever has.
Kate McGuire is a self taught soutache artist and bead embroidery artist. She has been “studying” these arts for 10 years and is discovering her own potential and has total passion for making her jewelry.
Leeann Lidz - Mandala Art
Leeann has been creating art for over fifty years. She has worked in acrylics, watercolors and pen-and-ink. Her goal has always been to make the world a better place through art. She has been creating mandalas for fifty years in many different mediums. Her recent mandalas are created by dot painting.
Lorna Saner - Fused Glass Art
The thing I love best about fusing glass is collecting recycled glass. I use dichroic glass for my jewelry. Dichroic glass was first developed for NASA and was used to coat the inside of the visor of the helmets worn by astronauts. It is highly reflective and adds sparkle to glass.
