Arnold, Eileen: I have been taking photographs my entire life and went completely digital in 2002. In addition to straight photography I use Photoshop extensively to alter and combine photographs with painterly results. My subjects range from landscapes, floral and bird close-ups to colorful abstracts to whatever catches my eye. After retiring from the Navy in 2004 I attended SUNY New Paltz and received two degrees in 2008 one in Visual Arts and the other in Anthropology. Always artistic I use power point as a creative outlet while on active duty and took up oil painting in college which I continue to pursue.

Blanchard, Charlotte I have been painting for as long as I can remember. I paint in great detail. I want to be able to appreciate what I am painting up close as well as from across the room. My favorite medium to work with is oils. I visited Italy in 2008 and a whole new inspiration came over me to paint land and seascapes of the colorful Mediterranean region. I live in Hubbardsville and was accepted as a member of the National Association of Women Artists in 2011. You may view my artwork at: www.wishfultravelergallery.com (Back To)

Dahlin Deb, My lifetime of art making has been blessed by my students at Elmcrest Elementary where I have taught Visual Art K-6 for the last 18 years. I also travel and just returned from China this summer. Translating travel experiences into artistic expression has been an ongoing theme of my artwork. The people I meet on trips and experiencing another culture always influence my work. I have been doing mostly pastel up until this past year when I decided to try my hand at pastel enhanced photography,digital photography, collage and silk painting. I enjoy each medium so much it’s hard to decide which I enjoy the most and when all out fails I return to myfirst love, pastel! My new silk scarves are influenced by the beautiful silk I experienced in China. Enjoy! For commissions ,you can reach me by email : debdahlinart@yahoo.com (Back To)

Dilday, Tre` I began my love affair with creating art in high school. I started out by sketching and drawing in pencil and later taught myself to hand carve, paint and wood burn walking sticks. I ventured into working with acrylics and later watercolors. Recently I discovered scratchboard and I have learned an appreciation for the variety of mediums as they offer different qualities I like exploring. I am still enjoying this love affair with making my artwork, I love it, I hate it, I know it's a part of me so I love it again.
