Throughout his life, Steve McMillan has been inspired and sustained by the natural world and spends much of his time outside. Whether it's a bike ride in the Bellingham area countryside, or a week-long backpacking trip in the High Sierra, he is renewed and invigorated by being in and moving through landscape. It is this sense of renewal that he seeks to share with others.

James Hardman
James Hardman lives in an old cabin on the windy north shore of Orcas Island, where he enjoys the company of bald eagles, harbor seals and white-tail deer. James pursues a variety of creative interests, including painting, printmaking, sculpture and music.
Frank Kazmerek
Basically a self-taught artist, Frank has worked with various media including watercolor, etching, acrylic painting and silkscreen printing. His work reflects his passions for sailing, golf and architecture. The work is realistic, yet each image relies more on mood rather than a specific place or object for effect
Tony Turpin
From my earliest recollection the landscape was a source of wonder, and various landscape artists were inspiration to me as I sought a direction in my work. Initially my quest was for control of media to make paintings of things as they are in nature --especially the wide expanses of the west and northwest. I was interested in illustrating those scenes primarily. In 1966, I began more formal studies at Art Center School in Los Angeles. My primary instructor there, Lorser Feitelson, introduced me to the world of the "moderns", and it was soon thereafter that I became fascinated with abstract expressionism and American art of the 20th Century. While I continued to be captivated by the "realists", I devoted much time to experiments with shape and form in purely non-objective compositions using a variety of materials mixing a wide range of media.
