Willie Raney (Ivoryton), Diana Rogers (Clinton), Rick Silberberg (Ivoryton), and Jill Vaughn (Ivoryton).

“Artists are like modern-day alchemists, transforming diverse materials and emotions into works that are beautiful, innovative and thought-provoking,” said Michael Fanelli.

“Each stroke of paint and color interacts and mingles, and that is the alchemy that brings a painting to life,” said Diana Rogers. “Using pure pigments and color is ideal for honoring nature and the vibrant hues of life along the shoreline.”
