The exhibit will feature award winning artists, Tamara Dimitri, Diana Teeter, Janet Van Horne and Jim Stidfole, the show will close at 6:00pm, October 8, 2005.

Tamara Dimitri's installations are inspired by several places that she has lived in. Tamara states that her pieces represent, "sylized landscapes as diverse as the desert southwest to the woodlands of the northeast".

Diana Teeter is a published photographer who is passionate about her creative process. Her "Learning To Fly" series explores the psychology of attempting the impossible without fear of failure.

Janet Van Horne expresses her artistic values in new ways. Her most recent works are mixed media on canvas, she uses photography and verbage to create a collage effect, in some she incorporates photos, paints, pencil, papers, etc. to create each collage.

Jim Stidfole's beautifully turned bowls are an exploration of the natural magic of wood. His sculptural shapes bear gorgeous red striations that have occurred as a result of the forces of wind and water on the wood.
