Carol Christie
Born in Michigan in 1946, Carol Christie studied Art Education at Central Michigan University. She relocated to Atlanta, Georgia in 1969. Carol Christie's paintings burst off the canvas with explosive strokes of dynamic colo and energy. Her work is improvisational and spontaneous, with a strong rhythmic base and a lyrical expressiveness which likely grows from her love of music and early training as a pianist. "I am an intuitive painter," says Christie. "Listening to classical music allows me to paint what I feel, rather than thinking of what, and how, to paint. I often feel that I am composing melodies in paint." Carol's paintings create an intriguing contrast between subltel simplification and the energy of the works themselves. Poetic, multi-layered painting, requiring fast drying time, make acrylic paint the best medium for her current work.

David Heath
David G. Heath is one of the most talented landscape painters of our time. His work incorporates a visionary approach to the execution of traditional realism, reminiscent of the Early American painters. “My greatest love is to explore nature and its peacefulness,” David explains. “My second greatest love is to capture the atmosphere and mood of the places that are special to me. In the process, I paint not only with my hand and eye, but with my heart and soul. Over the years I’ve become so much more aware of the beauty and serenity of the great outdoors. In each painting I seek to do more than to create a statement. I like to stir the viewer’s imagination-communicate mood and atmosphere.” Born in 1950, David Heath is a native of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountain region. He attended Central Virginia Community College and Virginia Commonwealth University, where he studied commercial art. In 1973 he began an intensive personal study of fine art, concentrating on the Old Masters and the Early American painters, with greatest emphasis on the Hudson Valley River School. David’s award-winning paintings have been exhibited in numerous group and one person shows. Private collectors include celebrities from both the political world and the entertainment industry. David’s official Bicentennial painting is now on permanent display in the Lynchburg City Hall, in Lynchburg, Virginia. Corporate collectors include: The Babcock and Wilcox Corporation, Central Fidelity Bank, Crestar Bank, Sovran Bank, and Westvaco Corporation. David’s style is a combination of realism and luminism, a mixture of fantasy and atmosphere which arrests the viewer, stimulates the imagination, and provides a unique experience.

John Holub
Born on Long Island, New York, John Holub was always interested in art. Even as a child, he spent much of his time painting and drawing. Years later, after a tour in the United States Air Force and a move to Maine, he finally decided to pursue his childhood fascination. He began with pen-and-ink renderings. Later on he developed his skill as a water color painter. He has since gone on to gouache and oil. John Holub's paintings, distinguished by their varied brush stroke and rich color, appeal to those who enjoy the tradition of open-air painting. To John, the essence of the painting begins on the scene. "I will use either oil, watercolor, gouache, or pencil, as long as I record what excited me about the scene," he says. "I like to focus on surprises, the unexpected, an object of beauty that has been overlooked. Sometimes it's commonplace, sometimes the unusual." John paints what excites him. When a scene inspires him, his painting is more likely to communicate that excitement to the viewer. John Holub travels to a number of different places throughout the year to paint on location. While traveling, he also gathers information to be developed further at his studio in Winthrop, Maine, an area of lakes, streams, and rolling farmland in the central part of the state. John's paintings have won numerous awards and appear in private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad.

Whether a deserted Cape Cod beach at sunrise or a winter’s evening in the mountains of Vermont, Michael creates in each and every painting a visual harmony Which echoes the viewer’s awareness. He captures our attention through the use of rich colors and uncanny sense of details.

Jim Rodgers
Jim Rodgers’ paintings, which range from luscious pastoral scenes to quiet still life, reflect a richness in tone and color that comes from over 30 years of professional study and travel in the United States and abroad. A resident of Dover, New Jersey, his early training and long affiliation with the Arts Students League in New York enabled him to study with such masters as Frank Mason, Gregg Kreutz, and Richard Pionk. Later, he was introduced to Art Maynard of the Ridgewood Art Institute of New Jersey, where he studied landscape along with portraiture. Primarily, his focus has been on traditional and classical attitudes in rendering landscape, still life, florals and genre scenes. Classical training has been augmented by wanderlust, as Jim traveled throughout the United States, working as an artist. At times he has lived and worked in New Orleans, Florida, Connecticut, Nevada, and Ohio, as well as England and France. Today, he frequents Lancaster, Pennsylvania to capture the quiet, sylvan landscapes of farm country on canvas. Jim’s intention is to capture the mood of a scene, particularly a landscape, and help the viewer feel the subject as he experienced it, “en plein air.” He is especially fond of capturing scenes in the late afternoon and early evenings. Whether the work evokes joy, rapture, or quiet contemplation, Jim’s pieces all stand out for their rich tones and exquisite classical rendering. Rodgers' work is in public and private collections, and he has received numerous awards. He has also benn affiliated with the Salmagundi Club and Delaware Art Museum.

Frank Wilson
The son of a sculptor, Frank Wilson has been painting, drawing and sculpting since 1964. The artist has won many awards for his paintings and his porcelain sculptures of nature. His work has been featured in galleries in New York, New England and Switzerland. The hills and mountains surrounding the small Vermont village he lived in are the inspiration for his artistic creations. Nature is the common denominator for this multi-talented artist. Through porcelain forest sculptures the artist captures the beauty of changing leaves, mushrooms and vegetation. Cross country skiing by moonlight has spawned a series of "nocturnal" watercolors. These unique paintings combine an air brush and watercolor technique that provides a special photographic effect. Other paintings of nature utilize acrylics to highlight the atmospheric quality of mountain vistas and winding trails. Frank Wilson combines his love of art and nature to give enjoyment to others. Through his art he conveys an awareness of place and a reverence for nature that transcends time.

Burl Jones
West Virginia, its rich traditions and culture nurtured an artistic sensibility in Burl Jones that would build into one of the country's most respected careers in bronze sculpture.Born and raised near Charleston, Burl excelled in academics and athletics, attending West Virginia University on a football scholarship and graduating Summa Cum Laude from the school of Dentistry in 1966. A two year stint in the United States Public Health Service brought him to the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This exposure to Native American culture, western wildlife and frontier ethic would prove to be a major influence on his later work.Shortly before leaving for the Flathead, Burl married his childhood sweetheart, Eunice. Thirty-five years later, they have two sons, Mark and Allen. The family shares an enthusiasm for cultivating his interests in hunting and photography. Both talents came together for a book of personal hunting experiences he authored several years ago, The Joy of Misery. Allen is a professional writer and is currently Editor of one of the premier regional magazines in the West, Big Sky Journal. Eunice has found an artistic voice through her wonderful, innovative pottery and a growing collection of poetry.After nearly twenty-five years of dentistry, Burl shifted gears several years ago to focus entirely on his sculpture. Clay and wax are his mediums now, and provide a way of expressing his love for those interests that have dominated his life. Wildlife, mountain men, Native Americans, fishermen and hunters all come to have a life of their own under his skilled hands. Over a hundred original sculptures have been produced in limited editions and sold to collectors worldwide.Burl and Euni now spend most of theirs time at their ranch in Montana.
