Jewelry Design John Osterhaug is a dichroic glass maker living in San Francisco. His unusual and beautiful glass creations present themselves in the form of contemporary jewelry designs. He uses surgical steel for his earring posts.

Tom Moinet paints in Oils.  His work evolved from seeking perfection to engaging in art as a process.  This has allowed him to let paint textures and images evolve following their own light and logic through the process of creation.  This keeps the act of painting fresh and challenging.  Weather Tom is painting landscape or still life.  He explores brushstroke, color, light and composition rather than striving for photographic detail

Dragonware Jackie Boutin and Sue Phelan are the ceramic artists who create items of whimsy and beauty.  They started with dragons, that’s why the name, but have since moved on to many more creatures and animals.  They had an interest in myth and story telling which inspires their work.  Each sculpture is one of a kind.

Lori Heuser is new to the world of art.  Raised in El Dorado County she has always loved the natural beauty of the area.  After retiring from a long career in medicine she decided to enjoy life and try working with wood, glass, tile, metal and other mediums.  Lori loves unusual wood pieces, which she then adds crushed glass with different types of reflective materials along with other interesting objects each piece tells a story.

It brings her joy when people are intrigued with her work.  She likes to find the beauty in the usual unexpected places.

Brent Parsons  A love of drawing changed Brent’s college major from science to art in 1971 when an art survey class introduced a process that could enrich drawings in pencil and ink by etching, inking and printing a copper plate.  With his children grown and more time, he has returned to etching, a medium that requires it.

Valerie McClure’s love of glass started in 2005 when her daughter took her to a bead making class at UC Davis.  RyPi Designs evolved from there.  Her  creativity would flow out after working all day in Special Ed and Pre K.  Working with glass is very fulfilling.  Sharing the art of fused glass with people from designing,  to cutting large sheets and then firing in a kiln is very exciting to her.

John Mort’s hand thrown and slab built porcelain is his trade mark.  The form, attention to detail, and fine craftsmanship are the elements which make each piece distinctive.

Each piece is decorated by one of two methods, sliptrailing or sgraffito.

Marianne Harris Also known as Meb. For the last 13 years I have been a full time pastel artist. Pure pigment pastels are my chosen medium as they always remain vibrant and never dull, crack or yellow.
Animals are my passion, and are generally the focus of my art. When I choose a subject, I look for a whimsical character, somewhat playful and/or slightly mischievous. What I love most about pastels is how they allow me to create soft, realistic paintings. My goal is to create
portraits that bring to life the beauty, power and intelligence of each subject in order to create an emotional connection with the viewer.
I am a Signature Member of Pastel Society of West Coast. I live in Valley Springs, CA with my husband, Pat, and our two dogs, Sierra and Dakota. Commissions are always welcome!
