       Painter Sally Cays, whose work reflect the use of intense color and strong contrast, is a self-taught artist whose original watercolor paintings and prints reflect the beauty she sees in nature and the world around her.  Besides being a well-liked teacher and watercolor workshop instructor, Sally also is a signature member of the "Northwest Watercolor Society".  Her work encompasses visual and realistic images of individuals and views of nature and floral compositions.
     


           The second featured artist is Ken Dvorak a self-taught photographer who is currently moving to convert more images to black and white.  His present work centers on "Cloudscapes - Black, White and Shades of Grey".  A number of his work include clouds which reflect "action" in the sky and turns a photograph into something he imagined when he first clicked the camera's shutter.  Share in Ken's love affair with the outdoors and his special focus that he invites others to appreciate.
