Susan Barry's love for art and sharing that love started as a very young child when she would round up the neighborhood kids for arts and crafts. Today her love of Mother Nature takes her on many road trips on which to broaden her artistic horizons. One of her favorite places is Yosemite which has been the subject of several of her watercolor paintings. She also enjoys the coast, but will usually see a watercolor painting in almost anything Mother Nature has to offer including in her own backyard. A native Californian, Susan has been a resident of Nevada City, California for nearly 30 years. While in college, she majored in art, of course.

Loana Beeson has been painting scenes of Nevada County, California for 42 years. She creates ink sketches, large paintings in mostly watercolor and has also done some collage and mixed media. Most of the time she loves to paint on-site and uses her camera to take photos to work from back at the studio. She love rural scenes as well as town vistas especially in both Grass Valley and Nevada City. Schools, churches and most of the local historical sites have not escaped her pen and ink.
