our supporters have expressed a strong interest in three-dimensional work. This month we are introducing Colorado sculptor

Nodine are South Carolina artists who have achieved success on a national basis. Henry's landscape paintings
are colorful and rich in texture and reflect his love for nature. Jane's encaustic work continues to be highly praised
by national organizations and she has become a regular on the speaking circuit for her expert handling of encaustics.
West Virginia artist, Derek Overfield, draws inspiration from ancient Greek tombs

Young who is known for his ability to capture the essence of a "moment" through his work.
