Painting by Susan Fitzsimmons
This engaging painting is combined with text. The words are:
To become
an old seed
forced to look for warm
earth
When all the garden
is inhabited
by strangers more desirable …
Sculpture by Susan Fitzsimmons
Sculpture by Susan Fitzsimmons
and then the glowing sculptures!!
they speak for themselves …

Wilma Langhamer grew up in Germany where her high school teacher commented on her report card “she should pursue an artistic career” … and pursue it she has! When asked what she personally likes in art she replied “I like contemporary art which makes you think. Art which is honest and expresses emotion, and has a concept appeals to me.”
Wilma Langhamer "Between Clouds"
Her painting “Between Clouds” is about the current foreclosure mess in the United States. “Here is an umbrella over a house … everyone expects it to cover anything which might happen to the house … and of course it cannot do that … foreclosures are not covered by the umbrella.”
Wilma Langhamer "Empress of Spring"
Another painting titled “Empress of Spring” reflects the emerald-green of the countryside in spring and the refreshing beauty of youth.
Wilma Langhamer "Peace"
The painting titled “Peace” is a comment on the need to achieve peace in Iraq and other countries. Wilma explains that after living in the U.S. for 40 years she hopes for peaceful solutions and no more wars. She is content to paint and follow her dream.

Alex Macias
Here is Alex … He is good!
Macias Paper Sculptures
His paper fox figures are visually arresting … as are his wolf paintings.
Macias "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"
One is titled “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” … a play on words … I asked him if he had ever seen a real wolf and he answered “No!” with a twinkle in his eye. He was busy texturing the canvas so it had a rough, raised surface which works well conveying the wolf fur he is working on.
Macias Wolf
A different way of telling the viewer “this is fur.”
