JOHN POWELL
John recalls one weekend in particular when long hours were spent in the studio listening to his father and artist Will Foster discuss color. "I was on a bus going home to Hollywood. The evening was warm and the shadows strong. Suddenly it hit me - there they were all the colors my father and Will were talking about. The trees weren't just green, they were blue and purple and orange. I think of that as my awakening." This recollection of those early years is significant, as it is not merely the facility of the hand that makes the artist; it is the ability to see.

MARILYN SIMANDLE
Beginning with finger paints and progressing to national acclaim, Marilyn Simandle has been a painter since age six. Originally taught and encouraged by her mother, herself a painter and musician, she grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. Marilyn received a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from San Jose State University.
Perhaps inheriting a love of music from her mother, Marilyn has a baby grand piano in her studio and enjoys playing it during her breaks from painting.

CHRISTIE VELESIG
Attending parochial school in Providence, Rhode Island, did not provide Christie Cardillo Velesig with an opportunity to study art; neither did business courses at the University of Louisville. But she would drive up College Hill to the Rhode Island School of Design to look at the sculpture and would go alone to the museums in Louisville. Later, in her first art class at Cape Cod Community College, it all came together for her.
