About Some of our Artists
Prabin Badhia
I like the gestures, contours, and volume of the human form. Whether the model‘s pose is active or passive, I seek to convey the dynamism and movement of the body. I bring that to action on my canvas - any size, any shape, any gender. Since my college days, I have made more than 100,000 sketches. |
Jeff and Wendy Photography
We are passionate about the out-of-doors and have also been bitten by the travel bug! Our cameras accompany us on all of our adventures so we can capture images of spectacular places we have visited. Photography has allowed us to gain a more intimate perspective on wildlife while viewing them through the lens of a camera. |

Cindy Podren
I have always wanted to paint and never did, until about twenty years ago. In 2002, I suffered the biggest personal loss of my life and began. My journey was the reverse of the usual: I started in oils. Currently, I paint in watercolor on paper, especially outdoors or when travelling, and with acrylics on a variety of materials. I try to experiment always, most lately with pours, collage, and yupo paper. Most of my work is figurative, although I am always trying to hold my breath and leap to abstracts. I paint plein air landscapes, usually once a week weather permitting, and do studio work from my photographs, hoping to convey my feelings about these sites and the beauty of the ordinary. In short, I try to emulate Joan Mitchell and carry my landscapes around with me. |
Michael Sacramento
My urban collage paintings are inspired by my day to day observations - from street scenes, billboards and posters to often overlooked surfaces, architectural elements and birds. I translate these moments into fragmented images, objects, textures and colors. As I collect and interpret these visual cues, I use them to create a new visual experience. This process for me is purely intuitive and my ultimate form of self expression. |
Valerie Sobel
My work process involves intuition, imagination as well as intellect; serendipity as well as planning and design. I always observe the world around me, consciously noting details and I leave it to my senses to randomly record what they deem worthy of interest. It will trickle down to my consciousness later. |
