Cindy Briggs NWS
Overlooking the Cascade Mountains from her studio, Cindy finds the interplay of sunlight and shadow a constant inspiration for her award winning ethereal watercolors. Painting both en plein air and in the studio, she loves exploring Europe and the US to discover soul-inspiring locations for her work.

Vicki Shuck
Shuck is interested in capturing moments of life, in the fact that most of what goes unnoticed throughout the day is filled with someone's cares and joys. Each moment is unique, comprised of its own gestures, colors and sounds. Isolating these moments through the process of painting allows Shuck to be present to the people in her paintings in a special way, even when she doesn't know them.

Carla Spence
Spence grew up under her architect father's drawing board and artistic interests, first in Holland, and then Australia. Geometric restraints often hold her intuitive work together. However, her golden years as an emerging artist were influenced and encouraged by the rich array of instructors and fellow artists during a three-year stay in Houston, where Carla found the freedom to paint with her right brain, expressing a new way of seeing.
