| Painting and Pastels | |
| Throughout my life, painting and drawing has given me a meaningful connection with the world, and a way to express this to others. My paintings are abstract impressions of natural subjects - landscapes, cityscapes, still life and figurative. I use the brush, pastels and paint, to bring to life my connection with the interlocking of light, colors and shapes on paper and canvas. | |

| acrylic paint, collage, and other mediums | |
| When I make my art, I try to stay true to the passionate feelings I get when I come up with an idea, whether it came from a dream, or from an image that inspired me. My work usually doesn't change much from my original idea. Except, that I add a little unexpected twist to my pieces that I don't usually discover until I am just about finished. And to me, that is the most exciting part because the idea comes out of nowhere, not even from a dream. It surprizes me as I hope it does my viewers. | |

| Fabric | |
| Although she has been sewing and creating since childhood, Ann Lee has only recently recognized herself as an artist. Her sister was an artist; her daughter was an artist; she wasn’t an artist, was she? Only slowly did she recognize that it’s her constitutional need to create things with cloth and to try new combinations, materials, and techniques that made her an artist not a degree or certificate. | |

| Jewelry | |
| I love the endless possibilities that working with metal presents. As I create, my goal for each piece is to reflect true craftmanship. Many of my pieces are one of a kind or limited edition, each one cut and formed by hand. I love the possibilities that come with twisting, weaving, and shaping wire, moving and forming metal. It is what keeps me experimenting with, and exploring this wonderful medium. After teaching elementary education, special education, religious education, and Tae Kwon Do, I have turned my attention back to my first love, which is to create using my hands. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoyed crafting them. | |

| Sculpture/Painting | |
| I have a BFA from Boston University and have worked in the field of sculpture for over 20 years. "As a sculptor/painter, I predominantly expresses myself through images of the human figure. Sensitivity to the human condition inspires me to create images of strength and beauty on a personable and friendly scale." Ancient techniques of mold making and clay work play a large part in the process of my work; yet my choice of materials can be variable and contemporary. Recent work involves an exploration of color and texture using new and varied mediums. | |

| I enjoy creating my artwork in a variety of materials. When I work in marble, the stone reveals certain possibilities, and then a dialogue occurs as I work to remove the excess material. My mixed media work is driven by the idea, and I seek the materials which best relay my thoughts to the viewer. My plaster and cement gargoyles are created using traditional modeling and molding techniques, and reflect my love of architectural ornaments, animals and classical sculpture. | |

I have worked with polymer clay for almost twenty years. I am fascinated with surface design, shape, color and texture and am still thrilled each time I create a new egg. Making my own wool felt is my latest joy, but assembling jewelry with beads and stones remains interesting too. Having a studio at Western Avenue Studios allows me to add other media, including printmaking, to my list. | |

I love to teach spinning, and hosting fiber dye days in my studio. | |

| In 1998, I left a secure, twenty-five year nursing career to pursue my love of art. On the way to learning how to paint, I learned how to create a more joy filled life. Now, my dream is to share that joy with you. Through artwork, motivational speaking and writing, I rejoice in inspiring others to embrace their natural, creative abilities and joyfully share their unique gifts with the world. | |

This one is made of copper, found and recycled objects and hand crafted pieces using a variety of skills utilizing wire, metal sheet, beads and whatever has come across my path. The two others are composed of bailing wire and sterling silver, each different and unique in its style. | |
