Barbara Garber @barbaragarger20
Barbara Garber is a natural light fine art photographer based in Phoenix, AZ. She graduated from Boston University with an MS degree and from Northeastern University with an MEd degree. Barbara also studied photography at Arizona State University, Phoenix College, Glendale Community College, and Scottsdale Community College. Her work was included in group shows in all of the above institutions.
Barbara was accepted twice into the Friends of Photography Ansel Adams Workshop. She participated in a creative photography workshop in Italy in 2018 run by Carol Panaro Smith and James Hajicek of Alchemy Studio. Barbara is a member of the Arizona Photography Alliance, and through this group, her photos were exhibited in two shows at the Found.Re Hotel in Phoenix. Her work was also included in the Red Book magazine.
Photography, for Barbara, is instinctive, spontaneous, and straight from the heart. She draws inspiration from the natural beauty that abounds in the outdoors of Arizona. Children and animals are also a magnet for her lens: the sudden appearance of a little girl in mid-jump playing hopscotch or a dog casually trotting past the frame.
Inherent in this art form is the desire to explore, explain or evoke emotion. Every time she takes the camera in hand, she hopes for the unexpected or the most extraordinary ordinary. It’s magic. It’s serendipity. It’s what she loves.
Note: The photos in this exhibit are from hikes in the Superstitions, the Dixie Mine Trail in Fountain Hills, and in Tucson, AZ.

Casey Cheuvront www.caseycheuvront.com
Casey studied drawing, painting, and ceramics at CSUF California. She has been influenced by current artists like Bill Cramer, Dave Santillanes, Alan Wolton, Matt Smith, Stanley Kurth, and Camille Przewodek. She completed a professional ceramics internship with Ken Willingham at his studio and gallery in June Lake, California. Casey took every available art course while completing her degree in Psychology. Worn out after years of treating abused children and perpetrators, she returned to the business world, but never stopped creating ceramics, line drawing, painting, jewelry making, and other creative venues. Today she devotes herself exclusively to creating, teaching, and studying the arts.
Casey's paintings are deeply informed by her life-long appreciation of the natural world, established through a "feet-on-the trail" connection over many years. Her outdoor education began when she was very young. She would accompany her father on fishing, hiking, bow-hunting, and archery exhibitions and shoots in the Midwest. Later, she backpacked her way across the Sierras in California, and mountain biked many happy trails in the Arizona desert.
Nowadays, her pieces showcase an ongoing fascination with the ever-changing Western and Southwestern wildernesses she has traversed for so many years. Whether this is reflected in a patch of park near town or a remote lake only reachable by a long backpack. Her enthusiasm is translated into a vibrant, modern palette and energetic, dynamic brushwork. Look for works showcasing the Yosemite highlands, Sonoran Desert, and the red rocks of Sedona.

Ira Beckway www.Iragrin.com
Ira was born in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), grew up in Israel, and now lives in Arizona. She has traveled extensively throughout her life, immersed in many different landscapes and cultures. Her art education was picked up along the way in bits and pieces, studying with local artists, copying old masters, and constantly painting from life.
She works in many different mediums. Ink drawing, oil painting, and etchings are her favorite. When painting a portrait, achieving a good likeness is usually a goal, but she finds significant time to allow a glimpse into the inner world of the sitter.

BROOKE MOLLA www.brookemolla.com
Brooke Molla is an artist living and working in the low desert of Arizona. Her inspiration comes from the insignificant objects of nature that are mostly found at her feet on sidewalks, spider webs, or garden beds. Also, the quick glimpses of nature viewed through the windows of our houses and cars.
These objects that are found or quickly seen, such as seeds, leaves, parts of insects, and animals, are the clues of an active world of nature that surrounds us. But, in a world that we very rarely see and know very little about. She received her training and MFA from Washington University in St Louis, MO. Many of her pieces are part of University, Museum, and Private Collections. This year, her prints have been included in the Permanent Collections of Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates, Janet Turner Museum, and Special Collections at Colorado State University at Boulder, CO. Her work has been published in The Matador Review, The Dialogist, and on the cover of Nature Inspired Anthologies.
"I have much more time to create pieces of art. I am using the extra time to develop woodcuts. In addition to creating lots of work, I am working on an extensive garden. The garden is my service for the wildlife. My garden's goal is food for the humans but mostly food and shelter for the furry, feathered creatures and insects. With the onset of this time of pandemic and quarantine, I have become more introspective and silent in this time of isolation."

NAN WOLLMAN www.wollmanstudios.com
Nan Wollman is an artist, teacher, and preparator. Ms. Wollman has a B.F.A. in ceramics from The University of the Arts, Philadelphia College of Art, and an M.F.A. in sculpture from The University of Texas at San Antonio. She has been exhibiting and winning honors for her work in the U.S. and abroad for several decades.
"During the quarantine, I have spent my time focusing on new artistic work and inspiration. Each of my pieces is unique and bears the distinct trademark style of my aesthetic. Diverse shapes, textures, patterns, and colors are combined to create each work of art. I have been most influenced by abstract art, with strong forms made with organic materials. Contemporary sculpture, as well as ancient works from Africa and the Americas, are particularly influential for their directness and simplicity in integrating form, surface, and function."

IRENE V. MARTINELLI www.artfully-yours.net
Almost everyone has had a dream, no matter how far fetched: fly a plane, swim the English Channel, raise a family, win the Nobel Peace Prize. Sometimes we even manage to fulfill our fantasies; other times, they remain beyond our grasp. Then suddenly, one morning, you wake up, look in the mirror, assess the physical effects of a life well-lived and realize, it's now or never.
I had always loved photography and still pursue it avidly. I turned to ceramics and even opened my own studio. I have written a few family biographies and have begun a memoir. But, it still wasn't enough, and I knew there was no time to waste. What I really wanted to do was to draw, paint, and create. In time, I worked up the courage and joined Tucson's Drawing Studio, where surprisingly enough, I did not fall flat on my face. I took classes, workshops, watched endless tutorials, and began to feel emboldened. With that extra ounce of confidence, I began to loosen up and enjoy the process. It had become less daunting, and I was gradually producing art that I was proud to own. I am neither Picasso nor da Vinci. I am me and loving this new adventure. I hope you will enjoy a few of the fruits of my labor. Welcome to my colorful world!
"I had been working and experimenting in various mediums for a few years, and then the Pandemic happened. Suddenly I had all the time in the world, and I took advantage of every second. I honed in on alcohol inks and just loved this free-flowing medium. It's a little like taming a wild stallion, but there are so many surprise endings. This terrible moment in our lives has given me time to grow and improve."

RUBEN URREA MORENO @RubenUMoreno for Facebook and Instagram
Ruben Urrea Moreno is a self-taught artist from Tucson, Arizona, with a background in graphic design, illustration, murals, fabrication, printmaking, and painting. His work has been included in group and solo exhibitions in El Paso, Los Angeles, Juarez, Mexico City, New York City, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and Tucson. His work is in the permanent collection of the El Paso Museum of Art.
"A heavy and somber feeling came over me recently while I was walking alone in public. There were more people than I've seen around me in recent months. My face was covered. Nobody was making eye contact or saying hello. It was a place that usually felt lively, a place that brought me excitement. You could feel the vibrating energy in the air at times, but not this time. For months now, it's been creeping around in me, and I needed to shed this feeling, put the energy into my artwork and create something new."

THADDEUS CAMP www.thaddeuscamp.com
Born in Connecticut, Thaddeus eventually settled in Tucson, AZ, with his wife, Rachel. Before Tucson, he lived in several scenic places, including Hawaii, Oregon, China, and Wyoming. In addition to being a painter, he teaches academic writing and research at the University of Arizona while raising his daughter, Phoebe.
The range of emotions inspired Thaddeus during the quarantine. His father passed away during the pandemic along with a handful of family friends. The overwhelming grief and near-apocalyptic magnitude of the aggregate suffering shut down any creative urges. These emotions forced him to seek out and rediscover the beauty and wonder laced between the monstrous realities of what we are all still living through.
