“Painting is entirely for my pleasure and fulfillment. I am driven to create images on canvas and paper. It is something that I cannot stop. It is like breathing – it is a required part of my existence. It’s who I am and it’s part of my soul. To be able to create a story, an action, an image, is a wonderful passion to have. When the brush goes into my hand, something takes over and I am lost in the creative process. I believe it is a gift from God. I want the viewer to be able to appreciate the beauty of these creatures and perhaps they will understand how important it is that each of us must do our part to try to preserve the environment for their habitat. Each individual has a responsibility to co-exist on this planet in a way that respects and protects wildlife and their surroundings”. - Sandy Moser

Becky Hicks grew up in the small west Texas town of Breckenridge. She spent many of her summers and holidays on her great-grandmother's ranch, where her love for nature and all things "country" was born. She began drawing and painting at five years old and was always encouraged by her family, friends and teachers to create art. She knew at a very early age that she was an artist and would one day realize her dream of becoming a full time artist.

"I work in a realistic style that draws on my studies in atelier painting techniques to create contemporary works that have been described as evocative and engaging. I am especially inspired by the works of Velasquez, Sargent, Sorolla and Beaux.
To me, every image is a narrative: not only genre scenes, but every still life and portrait, as well. Sometimes the story is obvious, sometimes it is enigmatic. Often the story that emerges with one of my paintings surprises me. With portraiture, I strive not only to capture the likeness, but to find the "story": the spark of personality, the force of experience and the promise of things to come. Like a story, I believe a painting is only completed with the engagement of the viewer.
I believe the primary goal of any painter should be to create beautiful images, no matter what the message." - Janine Kilty

"The inspiration for my abstract work comes from my life experiences; travel, nature, my environment, all culminating in a magical sort of way. It is usually subconscious, and impetuous, sparked by something seemingly as trivial as a word or a feeling. I strive not to answer the question of what my images mean but to encourage the viewer's curiosity. When the work invokes the feeling of "curiouser and curiouser" (thank you Alice) then I have achieved my goal." - Laura Reed

"Painting is a huge part of my life and I try to work several hours each day. Surrounded by sea it is natural to be influenced and inspired by such changing beauty and this I try to capture in my work. I paint in oil, acrylic, pastel and mixed media and my subjects vary according to my passion at the time. However, I am particularly drawn to seascapes and skies as they have moved me for as long as I can remember. Creativity is a wonderful gift which I use in many ways, but art is very close to my heart and something I could not live without." - Valerie Travers
