Jon Erickson Artist Statement: I am a landscape oil painter who gets excited about painting on location, trying to capture the mood and light of the great outdoors. I have lived and painted in the driftless region, North Dakota and the Southwest. Website: https://www.jonericksonartist.com/
Julie Johnston Artist Statement: I am an artist based in Winona, MN working primarily in oil paints, pastels and charcoal. The stuff of everyday life is the inspiration for my work. I try to capture the unique qualities of light and life in my subjects. Website: http://juliejohnstonart.com/
Gary Flynn Artist Statement: My artistic passion is playing with wood and earth. Just like humans, wood has an inner life, a core, that began at birth, and remained constant as its exterior interacted with the outer world. Playing brings us all together.
