Alison Barrows-Young (ALBY)
“I’d like my viewer to consider how much potential power we have with familial wisdom, gathered mythologies, altruistic philosophies, science, and technology. Why have we not already turned the tide of planetary destruction? The time is running out; we must move forward even if we must first recant our actions and go backward. Greed and avarice, power for the few, and survival of the moneyed must stop. We must collect ourselves and restore what we can of our beautiful planet.”- Alison Barrows-Young (ALBY)

Sandi Pillsbury’s Impressive Botanical View
“I paint to find balance in my life: to ‘unplug’ from all the busy-ness of life. My art-making helps me to relax and go deeper inside myself and to express my deepest emotions. I want to share the beauty and serenity I find in nature with a broader audience. I have always had a strong connection to nature. I have been blessed in my life to live in spaces that provide me with much inspiration. I like to paint ‘en Plein air’ whenever possible, as I find direct observation to be the purest form of painting.”
