PAT KNOX...
​Pat has always been on a creative journey making art as a young child from bits and pieces she found around her home. This curiosity grew her interest in mixed media. Her recent endeavors led her to taking collage classes from an award-winning artist.  She develops ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and trades them with other artist on-line.

​ “I find collage a very satisfying expression of nature humor and generally fun to share with others.”

PAT MAHER..     Jewelry
Pat started designing jewelry out of frustration.  She needed something to complete professional outfits suitable for corporate training venues, but had trouble finding appropriate colors, shapes and sizes.  She likes to work in glass and gemstone (quartz, tiger eye, hematite, etc.).  Her work includes necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

STEVE MAHER...                    Oils and acrylics
Steve was a designer and occasional painter until 2010 when those roles
were reversed.  
He is inspired by sunlight and shade.  Subjects include mostly landscapes from or near the Salinas Valley.

MARLI MELTON...
​I have always loved drawing and painting as ways to express appreciation for the beauty and surprises of the natural world, as well as the patterns and wonders of life. Working mainly in watercolor, with occasional forays into collage, acrylics and multi-media, I find each work is a chance to look closely, learn something new, and try to express what words alone cannot fully capture.

PETE MILLS... 
In 2009 following my retirement, I took watercolor classes at the Salinas Adult School. For 5 years I painted exclusively with watercolors then decided to try acrylics & I believe I have found my niche. My preferred subject is landscapes from photographs.
