Trish Klenow has been painting female figures in oil for about six years. As a woman, she is aware of the social barriers women face. Her figures reflect global as well as personal issues. The figures are thoughtful, metamorphic, and painfully aware of their environments. Trish recently began painting a series of self-portraits inspired by Frieda Kahlo. |
| Judith Shamp says her challenge lies in pulling together two aspects of the creative process, the intuitive and the cognitive, through ordering and processing from a state of chaos. Judith's J.C. Cicada bag received a First Award in the accessories category at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Fashion Awards. (J.C. represents Japanese Chirimen, a type of silk crepe used for kimonos.) |

Kung-Sook Kwon seeks to decrease the scale of nature and to experiment with the use of texture. She incorporates found objects into small clay sculptures, focusing on the many lives expressed in a single work. |
| Deborah McDonald is currently working on a series of prints, drawings, and paintings depicting shells, fossils, and bones. These three linoleum prints have a strong black and white impact and a feeling of agitated movement. |

Michelle O'Michael creates art capturing the positive aspects of our existence through the infinitely expressive human figure. Her structual steel work emphasizes assertion, a declaration of power, the future not yet realized. |
| Janet Ritter has begun to create again after a long absence from art. Her formal training in art took place in at the Toledo Museum School of Design and Wayne State University. After exposure to Julia Cameron's Artist's Way, she resumed working. |

| Lucy Wiley works in a number of media, but her favorite processes combine clay with welded steel. Her work was shown this year at the Dallas Museum of Art with a collaborative group called 5 Live Women. The title of their show is Fables for These Times. |
