Kathy Armstrong
When taking a break from graphic design when her children were very young, Kathy first tried painting in watercolor and fell in love with the medium, despite being self-taught and learning by trial and error. After a decade of painting exclusively in watercolor she ventured into painting in acrylic and later oils for plein air painting.
Her inspiration to paint is her desire to capture the light that "touches the world and brings it to life."

Laura Wilder
After discovering the designs and philosophy for the Arts and Crafts movement, Laura embraced it and was inspired to learn printmaking. She is now a Master Artisan in the Roycroft Renaissance. Her vintage style block prints involve separate hand-carving and printings of each color of the print which is done on an antique hand-cranked letterpress. An award-winning artist, she has written blogs about her process and as an aside, is a distant cousin of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
