March Featured Artists
BRYAN ALLEN
The equipment these days is just amazing as cameras can focus incredibly fast on the eye of a human, bird, even an insect. Subject recognition such as car and airplanes as it will focus in on the driver's side and pilot's windows. The modern camera has easily about 400 menu items to navigate. Being able to customize the camera with buttons one uses most frequently makes them easier to use. Really, it's a computer with a lens, however as Julius Shulman said, “The camera is the least important element in photography.”
My work has been published in Westways, Travel and Leisure, The National Hockey League, Zamboni Inc., The Jay Leno Show, real estate and ice-skating magazines, brochures, food ads, local newspapers and websites and hopefully your living room wall.

DELPHINE BEACH-JONES
I have been a member of the Mountain Arts Gallery for over 13 years, and I find myself blessed to be displaying my art for others, locally and from all over the world, to enjoy.
As a child I would take a pencil and copy cartoon caricatures on the one-inch margin of the Sunday newspaper and was so pleased with my effort that I continued with art in one form or another and not taking myself too seriously.
Moving forward several decades I met Ray Atzet (former member) and he said he would teach me to enjoy watercolor painting. I reluctantly agreed because I didn’t know what to say, and Darlene Kraft (former President) convinced me to be juried. My confidence grew and the smile on my face became permanent. And I was grateful I had enrolled in a couple of community college classes which fed my appetite.
