MARIANNE POST
With sights set on obtaining a degree in veterinary medicine she left her life in San Francisco to attend the
University of California. But her interest in art upstaged her initial career path and she graduated with a
degree in Environmental Design. In between her 30 years of design and illustration assignments she
painted the landscape in soft pastels and continued her transition to becoming a full time painter in 2004.
She is a signature member of the Northwest Pastel Society and has work in several public and private
collections across the U.S.

the clouds and Pacific Ocean . The NW Abstract style of painting is a passion as well as Plein Air Oil
Painting. She is a member of the prestigious American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.

JAMES MOYER
James is a local North Coast wood working artist with a great love of texture, grain and in blending styles
from contemporary, abstract and traditional artistry. Incorporating wood found
along the local beaches and river shores, his work demonstrates the power of simplicity and the rich
design possibilities of patterns abstracted from nature. Self taught and still learning, his creations invite
closer inspection, giving wood and the work the stage.
DEBRA CARNES
For 30 years, Michigan Native Debra Carnes has been hand-crafting woven works of art from ever-
changing materials. Her pieces have been displayed in juried shows and galleries in Michigan, Florida and
Oregon. Her baskets and sculptures are currently inspired by the growing concern to create sustainability;
using natural, found, and traditional materials that also give the viewer a sense of the local beauty that
inspires her to weave.
ELAINE HANSARD
Growing up in Bozeman, Montana, she always had a love of nature. Some of her earliest memories were of
drawing animals. What started with making horses out of Sculpey as a child, has progressed to making
Bronze Sculptures inspired by Fantasy and Mythology. She is continuously striving to perfect her work to
give each piece a life of its own, bringing these fanciful creatures into reality. Living in Bozeman helps her
keep her imagination alive with an ever growing passion to create, inspired by the beauty around her.

JOSH HENRIE
Josh pursued his art career at Washington State University and later at Cornish, in Seattle. Following his
path as a stone carver, he carved, experimented and slowly formed his own Northwest style. His deep
passion of the raw beauty of the Pacific coast springs to life in his artwork. Unfinished chisel marks, raw
stone and smooth detail work, resemble his coastal surroundings. Bringing out the soul of the stone and
capturing its inner self, makes you almost hear the heartbeat.
SCOTT JOHNSON
Although Scott’s landscape studies are rooted in plein air painting, early-on he began to add the little
touches that rouse the imagination the faint treetops that indicate a valley beyond the hill, or the tiny glint
of water that tantalizes over a grassy dune. These hints at an unseen landscape beyond the one we see,
were an introduction to his dream world. His love of nature is evident in his work, but its mood, often
portrayed by impending weather, dominates the
objects in the landscape.
STEVEN KRIG
Steve is Northwest native who, like many others, is inspired by the beauty of this region. He first began
experimenting with glass in 2011 and has evolved his technique of working the glass to produce a
painted/ watercolor effect. He produces only two to four new pieces each year as he trades time for detail
in his work.
