As a plein air painter (painting in the open air), Trish selects the elements of an alluring natural scene that best express the mood she wants to convey. Nature provides raw materials for the artist’s design on canvas. An artist must work quickly outside to capture the ever-changing effects of light. It is this creative process that Trish finds most rewarding and challenging. She will often use her plein air works as a plan for larger paintings done in her studio. Creating a still life work involves designing an “interior landscape.” Trish uses flowers from her garden, objects she collects, as well as family heirlooms to create her sensitive still life works. Her colorful painting style recalls the Impressionist painters and the works of the early California artists. |

Mountain Landscape and Western Art Joyce has been a fixture in the Big Bear Lake Fine Art Scene for some time. Joyce truly enjoys the beauty of nature, especially the mountains - the Rockies, the Sierra, and those of her home in Big Bear Lake, Ca. she combines this love with talent and outdoor experience to transform the blank canvas into a scene so real it provides a temporary escape from the hurried world. Whether it be a tranquil forest, around a campfire, near a refreshing stream, or in the cool snow, the feeling is beautifully captured for the viewer to share. |

Mike is a Representational painter who's medium of choice is oils and his subject matter is the quiet off the road places in and around Big Bear Valley. Also, because Mike works off the hill, many of his subjects are of the landscapes along Highway 38. Often, Mike can be seen along the road sketching in the plein air fashion. These usually small pieces are most often used as reference material and seldom find their way into a frame. Some however do get displayed and sold. Mike tries to paint on location as much as he can believing that it is the only way to see all the nuances in color and values that nature has to offer, thus allowing the artist to paint a much more convincing landscape. |
PYROGRAPHY: The process of burning designs on wood & leather with a heated tool. I love guiding saturated earth tones into worlds of elegant, informal geometry. If you look closely, you may find a few vines entwined to form a face or a mask, a nude, a tree, ancient symbols that define balance, unfolding, power, and love. |

Making Pine needle sculptures gives another meaning to a walk in the woods. When I am wandering in the forest behind my house I like to find the base and structure for my sculptures. Then I find the real treasure - the pine needles. For me there is magic in making. There are no mistakes in pine needle scuplture. |
