Donna Engstrom
As a mixed media artist, I attempt to weave a visual history by creating a rich multi-layered surface encouraging repeated looks. Color and texture are integral components of my work. I find them the perfect combination to provide a mysterious and intriguing surface that engages the viewer.
Mixed media painting allows me to explore of a wide range of subjects while allowing the viewer to connect with the art work, inventing their own story. It is especially delightful when someone develops meaning for a piece that may be totally different than the one I envisioned while creating the work.
Words are especially appealing to me and much of my work is inspired by books, quotes, and poetry. I enjoy working in a series as it allows me to communicate and explore my concept in a variety of ways.

Sandra Hanert
A Brighton artist who creates representational and abstracted works, Sandra often paints reflections of nature and aspects of creation and Creator. She uses watercolor to express brilliance of light, moving water, or shimmering snow scenes. Her more abstracted work is often mixed media: ink, acrylics, watercolor crayons and even torn paper and found objects. Additional work may be viewed at www.artistsandrahanert.com |
Deb Hosier digitally alters the photographs she takes of objects in nature and everyday life. She plays with layering multiple images and blending modes to find a way to share the emotional impact she felt when she took the picture.
The goal is to create a feeling of atmosphere, motion, and light. She also experiments with printing altered images on cloth then adding ink, thread, and/or paint to create works of art.
Her work exhibits dynamic color and depth that may be completely abstract and not recognized as landscape in nature or images of plants and animals on imaginary backgrounds. She loves to discover new images that emerge when she lets her imagination take over.
