Holly Roberts
Corrales, New Mexico
Collage and Paint
http://www.hollyrobertsstudio.com
Holly Roberts, born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, earned an M.F.A. from Arizona State University, Tempe, in 1981. Her pieces are nationally and internationally exhibited and have been published in three monographs. She has twice received National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. She currently lives and works in Corrales, New Mexico with her husband, Robert Wilson and her two daughters, Ramey and Teal. Roberts works intuitively, painting an abstract landscape on a panel before applying her signature photo fragments. She uses muted colors of paint and black-and-white photographs to create images that are filled with humor, irony, and mythology. Her metamorphic beings illustrate archetypal emotional or dream states, although her subject matter has expanded from the internal to a wider worldview, touching on religion, technology, and the environment. Robert's art is bold, a bit brash, and almost always irreverent.

Leslie Williams Cain
Walla Walla, Washington
Landscapes in Pastel
Leslie Williams Cain, a fourth-generation native of the Walla Walla valley in southeastern Washington, has turned her deep connection to the land into works for numerous solo and group exhibitions, many residing in collections across the U.S. Cain works with simple materials (Nu-Pastels and Rives BFK paper) in a straightforward manner to capture that connection to place that is so much bigger than mere scenery. Working from reference photos shot on location, she then begins the process of composing, layering, and erasing, building the drawing/painting into a window to movement, solitude, and memory -- a place to connect to a deeper understanding of our place on this planet. Her teaching style is that of player-coach. She studied at Whitman College and the University of Washington, exhibits extensively in the Northwest, and paints fulltime in her studio in Walla Walla.

Kenmore, Washington
Expressive Figure & Portrait Drawing
http://www.kangohiggins.com
Kang-OHiggins pedagogical philosophy at base is simple "use it or lose it." To that end, he encourages students to draw and/or paint as much as possible. His classes typically involve short practical demonstrations and brief lectures which encapsulate concrete examples of different techniques, followed by individual instruction while students work on their own piece. Kang-OHiggins aims to perfect not only a students technique but also their visual and philosophical understanding. Group and individual discussions focus on awareness of historical precedent and analysis of how student work fits into the tradition, as well as wider contemporary debate. With an informal manner, Kang-OHiggins fosters a rapport with students that nurtures confidence while offering constructive criticism of their work. Kang-O'Higgins currently teaches art at the Digipen Institute of Technology and the Atelier Program at the Gage Academy of Fine Art, both in Washington state. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions across the U.S. and in Scotland. He received an M.F.A. in Painting and Sculpture from the New York Academy of Art in New York City.
