Phil began his sculpting career as a teenager in the early 70’s. In the early 1990’s, after years as a successful high technology manager, Phil began returning to the artistic roots fostered by his artist mother and architect father. Phil is a member of the Pacific Northwest Sculptors Association, an annual participant in Portland Open Studios and other regional shows. Phil works primarily in fabricated metals. While he has created work ranging from figurative to abstract wildlife art, his recent creations have focused on functional art including furniture, sculptural lighting and functional yard art.

Ron's work has focused mainly on the figure. As "Ruth" was done from life he tried to capture the peaceful dignity she portrayed in her sitting. for the past thirty plus years he has focused on painting and now has devoted much of his time to the pursuit of sculpture.

I try to slow my world down through my sculpture, constantly trying to reinterpret what I see and incorporating it into my art. In my cement sculpture, I take everyday objects we perceive as soft and recreate them as something hard, forcing the viewer to take a second look.

Teresa Sullivan creates sculptures made entirely of glass beads and thread. This piece was inspired by the cover of the March 1952 issue of Planet Stories magazine, illustrating the story, "Battle of the Centaurianess (Female Warriors Raided the Galaxy to Fill Their Harems on Alpha Centauri)". See Teresa's website to view this and other works that celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary.

I strive to capture the visceral quality of the animal; be it the power and sensuality of the bull, gracefulness of the horse, or fragile innocence of the bird. I believe animals can stir strong, human emotions at the subconscious level. Having grown up on a horse's back, I have developed a deep appreciation and connection to animals.

My ceramic works are personal narratives that reflect the inner workings of my psyche and its preoccupations. It’s not that I decide to do this, it’s just what happens, so I’ve learned to allow--and cultivate--this process. I see art objects as symbols of empathic connection between inner and outer worlds that invite an exchange between conscious and unconscious forces. It is at this threshold that memories, feelings, insights, and new possibilities for expression arise. I offer workshops on creative process methodology for artists and non-artists.

An angel descends lightly through the air amidst falling leaves. Her eyes are closed as if listening to a symphony illustrated by the swirling dancing shapes harmonized to a complete vivid image. Energetic textures keep the viewer's eyes busy moving about the composition until they fall to rest on the divinely soft smooth skin and peaceful face. The subject is more than what is seen but also what is not; the air itself maintains a strong presence.
