Erin Dertner - Paintings Sunlight and sea, ambling pathways and rustic dwellings have been Erin's inspirations since the age of nine. The cool shadows of the early morning and those that fall long and warm in the evening enlivens her creative soul as nothing else. Using oils, acrylics and watercolors, Erin creates images that reflect peace and yearning for stillness in a world that is often discordant.

Margaret Kunzler Margaret tries to capture the fluidity and movement of the pottery making process in her designs through the addition of flowing lines, or the cutting and reshaping of rims. Her inspiration comes from nature or simply through the movement of the clay itself.

Weavings by Lana Magnuson Weaver Lana Magnuson from nearby Burney provides elegant hand-woven textiles, with weaving techniques she learned in Sweden. Her focus creations are rugs, wearable art, and household accessories. It is a privilege to share Lana's work with our gallery patrons.

A figurative painter to start, Melissa's style was transformed on moving to McCloud where Mount Shasta's beauty inspired her to capture it in her art. She has bathed in its precense for twenty years, but it still has not been enough to capture it perfectly. She invites you to enjoy her attempts so far.
