Donna Kay's is passionate about her subject matter, fish. Her juicy wet, vividly pigmented acrylics of Koi fish look as if they're about to swim off the canvas. Donna is a master Gyotaku painter who has been invited to teach workshops on this Oriental technique in the San Diego area. These paintings have an antique quality. Think of fossils in stone but full of lively color.
Donna was one of the founders of the Point Loma Artists and remains very active in the many activities of the group. She leads and organizes group shows in alternative spaces around San Diego where she and the group sell many fine art pieces. |

The vibrancy and versatility of watercolor drew Julie to use this medium to express the delight she finds in the great outdoors. In her scenes of San Diego and the California desert, Julie seeks the interesting and unusual, zooming in and using different points of view.
A life-long love of drawing, painting, and crafts led Julie to a BA degree in art from the University of Delaware and graduate studies in art and art history at Temple University's Tyler School, followed by many years teaching art in grades K-12. As her art is evolving and changing, she continues taking classes and shows her work frequently. A member of the San Diego Watercolor Society, she is a regular contributor to their monthly juried shows, where she has won several awards. Other juried exhibitions include the San Diego County Fair and Southwest Artists' Association.

Lynn's fascination with clay began in the early 60's during her college years. She graduated from the University of Oregon in 1963 with a B.S. and a minor in Art. In the 1980's she set up her studio in San Diego and returned to clay. Mostly self taught until discovering Mesa College's Ceramic's program, Lynn has been influenced and inspired by teachers John Conrad, and Lana Wilson. She was also influenced by techniques learned at workshops and the work that she sees when traveling in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The ceramics/clay/pottery pieces shown at the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park are also of great inspiration. Lynn thinks that functional pots should be technically well made, lovely to look at, and fun to use. Her pieces are often wheel thrown, though sometimes hand built or a combination of the two techniques. She also makes original tiles, and paints on commercial tiles. She is a member of Ceramic Artists of San Diego and the Point Loma Artist's Association. |

"I’ve been thinking and experimenting with the ideas of effortlessness and the unintended over the past 2 years and have been trying to incorporate it into my work.
I'd much rather create my own images from my head than try to emulate the work of another, however, I recognize that to come into my own, I must study those I admire." --Maura McHugh |
