Subjects and inspirations range from the backwoods of the deep South to the famous Wonder Wheel of 1920�s Coney Island. Charlotte Foust and Audrey Phillips pique our interest by drawing inspiration from everyday instincts and experiences and curtail these moments into abstracted representations full of energy.

Gathering inspiration from the miracles of nature, Matthew Higginbotham, Tracey Lane, and Karen Weihs focus primarily on the landscape, each succeeding in creating a rich energy that forces one to celebrate the living land that nurtures and surrounds us all.
