The artists include Joan Boyer, Sue Britt, Cathy Coverley, Gloria Chadwick, Vicky DeLong, Kenda Francis, Jodie Hulden, Natasha Papousek, Susan Osborn, Janet Wytrych, Kathryn Gail Ackley, and Louis Russell. The work includes acrylic, photography, mixed media, glass, watercolor, oil, fiber arts and paper. The exhibit continues in the Patterson Window with seven cyanotype scrolls by Louise Russell.
