Priscilla offers her necklaces to discerning buyers who love the sparks her pieces create. |

David Kreitzer Exclusively showing at Artist David Kreitzer was born in Ord, Nebraska in 1942, The number four child in a family of five. His father, The Reverend Mr. David Kreitzer, a Lutheran minister, and his mother, Norma, moved rather frequently during the years the children were growing up. The livelihood of a young country minister made moving a part of survival. From 1936 to 1950 pastor Kreitzer, an avid amateur photographer, recorded every aspect of his life on black and white film. Son David Kreitzer deciding to record the information stored in this vast array of black and white photographs has created a body of colorful paintings depicting his memories of growing up in the Nebraska countryside. Although the paintings are totally portrayed in his own style and sense of design, he has captured the lure of the countryside in the breadbasket of America much in the way his predecessors Grant Wood and Edward Hopper expressed their feeling about our land and our people. The paintings are a portrait of the richness of rural life that still exists today. |

Glynis Chaffin-Tinglof Exclusively showing at Painting aerial views of landscapes satisfies both head and heart. Glynis plays with color, abstraction, even minimalism. She retains the "feel" of a place while giving the viewer a new perspective of a familiar landscape or uses an aerial view as a jumping off point for work that aspires to be totally non-objective. Glynis has been influenced by Mark Tobey, Richard Diebenkorn, Maria Viera da Silva and other artists of the 1950s. She loves to layer colors, often under painting with bright saturated colors and subtracting or covering areas with opaque and semi-opaque colors to give the composition depth and perspective. Her paintings are included in corporate, public and privates collections across the country and abroad. |

Patti Robbins Exclusively showing at Born in New York City, Patti Robbins earned a BA from the American University in Washington, DC, an MA from Johns Hopkins University, and pursued artistic studies at the Atlanta College of Art. Although painting intermittently over the years, the needs of raising a large family limited the time spent on art.

With acrylic and oil as her mediums of choice, Patti indulges her “painting with a passion for color.” Living amidst the breathtaking landscape of the coastal California wine country, Patti’s paintings often depict sun-drenched vineyards, as well as a range of architectural images reflecting travels to Italy and Asia, a series of vibrant floral still life studies and a selection of figurative. Robbins appears in Who’s Who in American Art and has exhibited her work in numerous galleries and museums.
