Mitch Heynick - Photography

"I got the “photo bug” when I was studying architecture at Berkeley in the mid-70’s – long before I was a model maker -  and it’s been with me ever since.  And funny enough being a photographer is what actually got me my first model making job – but that’s another story.  I had a few expositions in San Francisco in the early 80’s but then I stopped.  Now, more than 30 years later, I am getting back into it.  I’ve always loved black and white, so most of my stuff still is, now it’s just digital.  There are no intended political or social statements behind my work, I just look for interesting images of people and the built environment, essentially trying to frame what I see around me that I find interesting.  Light, form, composition and documentary value are my main loves.  I also love photographs of people; unfortunately I am not very good at it (but I try)…" - Mitch

Sue Wellman - Watercolors

In my first year of college I majored in Art. By the second semester I realized I didn't have what it took to be a professional artist. I switched my major to Psychology. In the intervening years my artistic focus was my work and a few decorating projects around the house. This past fall as we were driving in the country - we live in a rural area - I was marveling at the sky and its colors. I said to Terry, "I think I would like to try painting with watercolors". This Valentine's Day he gave me a set of watercolor paints, brushes and paper. Since then I have painted almost every day and created one or two paintings a day. They are all small to conserve on paper! Most measure 4" x 5" or 5" x 7". I have found that I gravitate to abstract paintings because they are the most relaxing!
