Linda Hollett-Bazouzi
Linda Hollett-Bazouzi is a landscape painter, working in oils with a paint knife. Her
plein air work greatly informs her studio work. Painting outdoors requires the artist to quickly capture the movement of clouds, the rhythm of waves, the light of day. In the studio, she is driven to capture those moments with the same sense of urgency she feels when painting outdoors.

Elaine Murkin
Elaine's influences take in the broad spectrum of her travels with many paintings depicting the pastoral beauty of England as well as the areas around Lake Chesdin and Richmond.
Elaine's prolific work and commitment has yielded a personal style that is rich and expressive. Her use of both brushes and palette knives creates a superb balance between close detail and heavy impasto techniques.

Troy Bunch
Troy's imaginative realism and surrealism usually depicts women juxtaposed with images from nature and dreams. He seeks to produce interesting, thought-provoking, and beautiful paintings that have meaning to him and also personal significance to the viewer.

Focusing on doorways and porches surrounded with gardens and pots full of blooms, she captures the play of sunlight and shadows. Beverley Jane especially enjoys the seasonal colors, spring's new blossoms or autumn's changing foliage.

What is Art?
Art can refer to anything made by someone considered an artist, yet the definition of an artist has evolved over time and varies based on context. In Ancient Greece, the term for art was "
techne," though that word did not denote art in the modern sense and was instead applied to human activities, especially handicrafts and technical work.
The most esteemed ancient art forms were music and poetry, and those were regarded as divinely inspired.
Eventually, the idea of art expanded in scope to include literature, visual art, performing art, and decorative art.
