Joy Lynn Woodard- Watercolor
I was born and raised in California and from my youngest years had a real love and talent for art. To foster this natural gift my mother would encourage me with new coloring books and crayons. When I reached high school my teachers thought I had such a good talent for art that I should take an art class. That is where I created my first oil painting which helped me develop my style; however, through the years, watercolor has become and remains my passion.
After graduating from high school I worked in positions that allowed me the opportunity to do graphic design, paste-up and layout, collage, greeting cards, various artist crafts and photography. I still draw from these experiences today.
Being well known for my art is a dream. I feel that my paintings are bright, attractive and familiar, like paintings of animals and familiar places. I like getting ideas from other people for new drawings and paintings. I hope my artwork brings joy and pleasant memories to all.
Wanting to dispel the myth that watercolor painting is the most difficult median, I rose to the challenge with persistence in finishing paintings and finding ways to unlock my inspirations. That is what drives me to continue painting.
Jules Koch- Mosaics
Jules Koch is a talented mosaic artist from Battleground, Washington. She creates mosaic pieces from repurposed goods. Finding the right base and design that makes every piece special is her purpose. Her artwork shows a specialty that surpasses other mosaic artists by committing the design of the piece being repurposed.
You’ll enjoy the unique and colorful designs available in many styles and sizes. Come view these great works by Jules.
