The creative spirit can lie dormant, waiting patiently and unattended to, until the time is right and a spark ignites it. The women in this exhibit have had careers and responsibilities that did not allow them to indulge this essential part of their being. But once that creative spirit was unleashed, each dedicated her efforts to her craft, and each is energized by the thoughtful communication of ideas and emotions, processes, outcomes, and the camaraderie of the art community.
"From large, luscious abstracts to high realism, these artists bring their fresh approach to their subjects. They are rising stars. I am amazed at their collections and their dedication and am truly honored to have mentored these gifted artists along their own individual paths."
– Roberta S. Buckles, MFA, Artist and Artist Mentor
