NINA YOCOM
The fluid nature of vibrant alcohol ink colors in my paintings calls to mind botanical, water and landscape subjects. Many of my paintings incorporate layer upon layer of inks, building to a crescendo of textured compositions. There is a wonderful mix of delicacy and highly saturated color interwoven in my paintings. That is the magic of working with alcohol inks, to allow them to flow and then control the final placement. Several works evolve into mixed media as I add acrylic paint and fine liner pen details.

THERESA HEIDIG ROONEY
I paint fish in unusual circumstances.
My oil and cold wax paintings, copper plate etchings, and collagraph prints help me tell my stories of resilience, self-determination and hope. Fish are my mascots. To me they represent the loneliness and isolation felt when trying to navigate through difficult times, the grace so desired when moving through awkward situations, and the lightheartedness needed when things get heavy or overwhelming… They help me bring awareness to Lyme disease…something I have been navigating through since I was seventeen.
When life gets challenging, my art is a reminder to … just keep swimming.
I live and create art in Ambler, Pennsylvania

ELIZABETH WILSON
I've created a large body of work from my hometown of Philadelphia and surrounding communities, though most of my work is inspired by travel. My interest is in beauty via the juxtapositions of sky, structure, light and color. I’ve exhibited extensively since graduating from PAFA and was an arts educator. My work is in numerous private and public collections including the Woodmere Art Museum, Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

RENEE EGAN
As a painter I aim for an impression that is romantic through dynamic lighting, color and texture. I often photograph landscapes at dusk, or wait for early morning light. I am influenced by my travels and often come home and paint their scenes. I am most inspired when working directly outside with nature. This is where my perception of color and light are the keenest! My attempt is not to capture the reality of the space exactly, but to capture nature’s mysteries and wonderment through light, texture and color.
