 | Artist: Chadd Fine Art and Design
Artists Janice Ososke-Chadd and Michael Chadd are currently collaborating to create original 3-d mixed media sculpture with paper, pigment and wood. We combine acrylic and watercolor paintings on watercolor paper with hand sculpted hardwood frames. The hardwood is faux finished with bronze, stone, marble, abstract and other finishes. All surfaces are sealed with a clear finish.
We transform our paintings into unique 3-d mixed media sculpture. With some pieces the painting is back lit from a single bulb mounted within the frame, giving the painting a soft, warm glow that creates an added beauty and dimension to the paintings. Some pieces are non-illuminated and are strictly non-functional 3-d mixed-media sculptures. All work is original and completely created by the artists in collaboration.

 | Artist: David Milton
Born and raised in Durban, South Africa, David Milton was strongly influenced by the colors and rhythm of life around him. He gives expression to his emotional sensitivity by transferring his feelings to painting and sculpture.
Overall, I rely on the process of artmaking to guide me. The influences of the South African culture of my youth are very present in my work. Vibrant color, soulful harmony, resonant beat and rhythm, and raw emotion permeate my paintings. A core theme behind my work arises from my empathy with victims of injustice and racism and my wonderment at the ability of the human spirit to continue to embrace life.

 | Artist: Earth Arrangements
In 1966 pottery entered my life. I was a music major at Central Washington University, where I took an intro pottery class from the late Richard Fairbanks. That one class led to a passion that only music had come close to. Other courses followed and, under the tutelage of Fairbanks, I learned the craft of pottery and thus the journey began. After leaving college, I settled in one of the most isolated communities in the North Cascades, the village of Steheikin. In this surrounding of majestic mountain peaks I set up my first pottery studio.
