Through bold color and expressive brushwork his paintings are intended to create a visual dialogue with the viewer and elicit recollections of equally familiar places that may be special to them. www.allenstebbins.com Blake Mueller: Collage and Assemblage. A blend of found objects and images. After creatively composing the subject, a variety of drawing and painting media are applied. Blake's unique works are displayed at his Woodstock studio surrounded by magnificent gardens. Guest Artist: Betsy Greene: Handmade Jewelry. A combination of found objects, copper, metal and gem elements. Birch bark, filigree, twigs, watch parts and glass beads are part of the canvass that becomes a piece of statement jewelry.

Gail Moreland: A native Midwesterner, Gail's photographs reflect the simplicity of the rural Midwestern landscape.
