Ed Buonvecchio

“Plein air painting has been an extension of my love for nature and the outdoors. It is always an adventure and challenge to me! The more I paint outdoors the more intimate I become with our Earth and the more I can share this intimacy and value for our environment with others. It is the journey and adventure to complete a study or finish a painting that keeps me going out for more.

My medium of choice is oil. I prefer oil paints because they are time proven. They remain open so that one can have time to blend and adjust. Oils also remain workable for plein air painting in a wide range of temperatures allowing for cold winter and hot summer conditions.”

Mary Heyborne

When Mary was introduced to ceramics over forty years ago, she knew there would be clay under her fingernails from then on. Sculpture classes followed, as well as classes in Raku, salt, and primitive firing. Living in many areas, she availed herself of workshops or master classes with some of the world’s best known potters—Toshiko Takaezu, Carlton Ball, Robin Hopper, Don Reitz, etc.

Mary has exhibited and received awards at juried shows in Wyoming, California, and Arizona, including several first-place awards in Sedona Arts Center’s annual members shows. In 1978, while living in Quebec, she accepted the invitation to represent the Province with her pottery at Canada’s Man and His World Exposition in Montreal. She is pleased to have her work in private collections around the world.

Casey Cheuvront

Casey Cheuvront studied drawing, painting, sculpture and ceramics at CSUF California, and has been influenced (and instructed) by current artists like Bill Cramer, Dave Santillanes, Alan Wolton, Matt Smith, Stanley Kurth, Casey Klahn, and Camille Przewodek.

Her work is informed by her ongoing plein air habit and life-long appreciation of the natural world, established through a “feet-on-the trail” connection over many years. Her outdoor education began when she was very young, while accompanying her father on long treks, fishing, hiking, bow-hunting, archery exhibitions and professional competitive archery shoots. Later, she backpacked her way across the Sierras and the Uintas, flew California peaks in her hang glider, skied Utah powder, and mountain biked many happy trails in the Arizona desert.

Sue Horine

Sue Horine has been creating her bead embroidered art jewelry since 2005. Primarily self-taught, her beaded jewelry is becoming easily recognizable as her style has developed from her love of nature and the scenic stone cabochons she incorporates in her work. Sue was born in California and much of her inspiration comes from her childhood family vacations to the southwest and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. After inheriting her grandparent’s collection of cut and polished cabochons from their rock hounding years, Sue found her own way to bring out the beauty of the stones. Her appreciation of the traditional Native American flat beadwork is apparent in Sue’s work. Recently Sue has developed an interest in the old west, ranches and cowgirls. She has started incorporating some western flavor to her work.
