“Have you ever wished you had your camera with you to capture that moment, or—and this is the big one—never appreciated a view until a building went up in front of it, or a bulldozer plowed it under? Haunted by such events, I try to capture those moments, those views, before they disappear.” Linda Hollett-Bazouzi

“My work goes beyond photo realism to depict real life closer to my ideal. My choice of color and application of paint focus this vision towards an almost searing atmosphere. I tend towards saturated colors, with carefully applied oil paint obscuring my brushstrokes and evoking the intensity of sunlight and brilliance of vintage cinema.” Juli Schuszler

“A common element in several of these series is the exploration of the effects of light, particularly as it plays upon and through water or other reflective and transparent surfaces. I am also interested in recreating a shared experience of our time and culture with the viewer.” Bob Carlson

Photography: Trotter Hardy, Carol Anne Taylor

“We are looking at a moment in time in these images; it’s not a moment for the objects pictured, let alone a moment of importance for them, but rather a moment in our own personal time, and hence important for us.” Trotter Hardy

WALLFLOWERS by Jane Martin

“Finally it all seemed to work…The backgrounds added to the whimsical feel of the flowers, which, on their own had seemed too serious and sort of lonely. Then, too, I began to combine the flowers into bouquets of color and movement which played off the varied backgrounds. Spring bouquets of tulips and hyacinths, pale pink lilies and roses–regal, almost bridal, and summer bouquets that might have been cut from my own backyard, where a butterfly rests delicately on the coneflower” Jane Martin
