ChandraLyn
Born and raised in North Central Wisconsin, ChandraLyn, an award winning glass artist, is drawn to the unbelievable complex beauty of all things natural - wood, stone, plants, fire and glass. These are the things that inspire her to create and feed your soul with the rich beauty of glass, whether it adorns the graceful curve of a woman’s neckline, graces the table or captures a reflection while displayed on a wall. "Taking something and making it into something else is so rewarding! It's jewelry for you and jewelry for your home!"
Paul S. Murphy:
Metal sculpture. Working with steel, recycled scrap, mostly parts from old farm equipment, and airbrush painting to produce a diverse subject matter of sculpture.
Mary Therese Murphy:
I primarily work in silk fusion collage. Silk fusion is a process for handmaking fabric from dyed silk fibers, which I embellish and collage into wall hangings, purses and remodeled art chairs.
Each of my paintings starts as a singular moment in time. The titles precede the actual execution of the paintings and are an extension and part of the art they name. Colors are bright and exaggerated; the subject often appears frieze-like against a colorful background of washes; light accentuates atmosphere and intent.

PATRICK PLUNKETT
Unique fabricated metal sculpture, mostly in the abstract, primarily indoor, table-top up to 84” high. I also do commissioned and monumental sized sculptures. Some abstract acrylic and oil paintings. All work is inspired by feelings, thoughts, or emotions I want to or feel I have to express. All work is done entirely by me in my own shop (except for monumental sized work) from inspiration to final finishing.

Betsy works and instructs in a variety of mediums including oils, acrylics, watercolor, wood sculpture, and pastels. I like the diversity a variety of mediums has to offer,... believe me I never get bored. I find nature to be my inspiration when it comes to subject matter.
