Ann Bliss Pilcher: lives in Jamesville, NY. She’s an avid horticulturist, but is best known to the public for her earthen– ware pottery.

Amanda Case Millis: is a Boston–based oil painter who is inspired by light and place. In her paintings she integrates her physical observations with her interior feelings — translating the seen and felt into a language of shape and color. Her work has been recognized in numerous exhibitions throughout the U.S., Australia, and Europe. She has been awarded 10 residencies internationally. She earned her MFA from MassArt and B.A. from Smith College.

Amy Evans McClure: creates “spirit guides” through her sculpture: figures, horses, goddesses, buddhas, abstract shapes. She began life in New York, was illuminated by Arizona mountains and mesas, now her art grows near forests and ocean in the Bay Area of northern California. Her most recent sculptural commission is installed in The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley. Art in America editor Michael Duncan contrasts her artwork with Kiki Smith and Louise Bourgeois in his essay, introducing the newly released book Amy Evans McClure: Space In Situ. She lives in the hills of Oakland, with horses nearby and freeway roars below.

John Lee: is associate Professor of Painting at William & Mary, is a graduate of the certificate program at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, holds a BFA from UPenn, and received his MFA from Indiana University. He has shown at First Street Gallery in NYC and is a past member of the Zeuxis Still Life Association.
