Lani Browning

an award winning plein air oil painter for over twenty-five years, is known for her distinctive skill with colors, and the quiet elegance and soft tonalism of her paintings. Her travels around the country and abroad, and her love of the land have contributed to her focus on the landscape. Her years of experience show in her confident and mature brushwork.

Christine Drewyer

Painting for me is a celebration of beauty and creation. The work is a spiritual discipline and the making of art a Sacred expression.

Lynn Goldstein

…my work is an inspiration for many happy collectors in the U.S. and in Europe; I’ve exhibited widely, won awards, been profiled in Pastel Journal (to see that article, click here), and have a painting in permanent collection in the Jean-Haffen Museum in Dinan, France, to name a few select accomplishments.

Crystal Moll

Crystal paints mostly cityscapes and works directly from life. She may complete a small work in one sitting, but she also loves to take these small and large works back to the location for many sittings—sometimes over weeks, sometimes not until the following season. Crystal is drawn to color especially as it is bathed in light. Investigating the colors’ reaction as it is warmed in sunlight or cooled in shadows draws her to the subjects she paints.

Chris Rapa

Through painting, she shares the simple beauty of everyday life. Her still life compositions feature collected objects, fruit and flowers, while interior scenes frame overlooked spaces illuminated by natural light. Chris is also an avid landscape painter, preferring to work en plein air, immersed In nature, and surrounded by the elements.

Jean Schwartz

Working primarily in oil she enjoys painting en plein air and in her home studio. However, it is her time spent in the field painting and observing that informs her studio work. Her subjects are varied and include landscape, seascapes and cityscapes but in all her focus is on light and atmosphere.
