Maria Britzman is a California grown artist who found her love of art at a very young age. She pursued this interest in high school taking art classes each year, but after high school she took time off to raise a family. Children grown, she began a career in the business world as a bookkeeper. She ended this career in 2004 and decided to take up where she left off and followed her love of art and illustration. She now spends her spare time drawing, painting and taking art classes. Maria’s formal art training includes; life drawing, two dimensional design, photography airbrush, printmaking, silk screening and sculpture. She also studied architectural rendering including axonometric, bird’s eye perspective, worm’s eye, 1& 2 point perspective drawing and oil painting. Mediums she has taught to herself are; color pencil, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, graphite, Graphicolor pencils and water-soluble color pencils. 

John Grady is a retired schoolteacher and lives with his wife Diane in Running Springs, California. He is an artist who uses acrylic and/or oils to paint landscapes and still-lifes. He also uses permanent markers to make pointillist drawings of landscapes and still-lifes. He uses mountain images as the starting point for his paintings and drawings: mountains, water, rocks and trees. He is influenced by George Innes, David Hockney and the Japanese art philosophy of Wabi Sabi.
