Olga Alexeeva
Artist
"My work, says Olga, is not just a reflection of what I see and feel, but what I imagine as well. I'd love to bring my audience a source of satisfaction and pleasure through a combination of realistic and abstract paintings, where elements coexist with fantasy. For me-all surroundings have a soul: happy or unhappy. All that we touch reflect our emotions. I invite the viewer to a Wonderland, where everything is possible and rightful.”

Angela Faye Daniel
Photographer
Angie's passion is photography with a focus on farm animals. She portrays ordinary animals (cows, pigs, goats and other commonplace animals) to show their real beauty and fun personalities. Having access to her sister's farm in New Boston, MO, she is able to capture the animals in a very genuine, fun and sometimes quirky predicament. Angie says, "The ability of the camera to freeze a moment in time and preserve it for others to view has always intrigued me."

joyce darden
Painter
Joyce was born and raised in Maine, then moved to Nashville in the 1960's and resided there for approximately 40 years working as a legal secretary. After retiring, and in order to get away from the fast lane, she moved to Hohenwald where she has been residing since 2000. Having always loved art (in any form), she began painting classes sometime in '01/'02. Her teacher stopped giving classes but she continued on my own through this world full of color and form. She has since restarted giving lessons and I attend weekly.
Painting is a way for my spirit to be free while my brush forms images in color which never ceases to amaze me.
"Life is a canvas, paint it well!"

Norb Skalski
Artist
Norb's work is driven by the core of human existence, emotion, and it's external presence. He's sees himself as a social critic who has developed expressionistic style in the context of Van Gogh, Picasso, as well as such abstract expressionists as Nolde, Kirschner and Munch.
Primarily interested in figurative art composition, he has always avoided easy moralistic judgements, preferring to explore primal human characteristics that become apparent to the viewer only after he or she has spent ample time considering them.

Twisted Sisters ~ Linda Carol / Debbie Graham
WOW Sculptures
It was "sisters" before it was "Twisted Sisters"- the Hobdy sisters that is, but we are better known as Linda Carol and Debbie Graham. Linda has a background in fashion and interior design and Debbie has worked in woodworking and marketing. The two worlds of talents converged in the spring of 1997 as we made our first original lamp.
We use metals, wood, glass and found treasures to create our unique and whimsical pieces, borrowing from the past to proceed into the future. Looking at each item in a new light motivates our creativity and allows us to be totally free in adapting any idea into a functioning piece of art.
