About the Artists:

Theresa Rykaczewski: Celebrated for her contemporary impressionistic style of bold impasto landscapes and occasional figurative works, Theresa’s artwork transfixes the viewer through a dynamic sense of color and atmosphere that explores what it means to connect to nature during the highly saturated digital age.

Kristin Cronic: Kristin approaches painting with an eye for the personality and rhythm of the subject, typically nature forms, abandoning reality in favor of color and pattern. She embraces exploration, intuition and expression in her work.
