Maureen Brodsky - Oil
Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic, and by George Inness, I paint the natural world. I paint directly from life, en plain air, or in the studio. My work focuses on the transience of life, beauty and fleeting time. There is a moment we want to hold but cannot, and hence a painting can hold a bit of that memory for us.
Maureen Brodsky is a St. Louis artist known for landscape painting and botanical art. Her paintings have been selected for the exhibition at Carnegie Mellon’s Centennial Celebration of its College of Fine Art, the Logan Center at the University of Chicago, the Lancaster Museum of Art, the Harlin Museum and Quincy University. She is a signature member of the Saint Louis Watercolor Society. Carnegie Mellon awarded her a B.F.A. and she studied at the Art Students’ League, NYC.
Michelle Graf - Gouache
Michelle Graf is an artist working in Saint Louis, Missouri. She paints with gouache and acrylic gouache, utilizing gestural marks that are then often refined into organic shapes. She loves painting trees and landscapes with a limited color palette.
Timothy K. Hamilton - Oil
I am a painter and photographer published multiple times in books and magazines. I have a BA in Art, and have partially completed a Master of Fine Arts. Since 2014, I have mostly painted landscapes, but also create “Abstract” artwork.

Rosemary Werkmeister - Silver and Stone Jewelry
My jewelry starts with an inspiration from something from Mother Nature such as a flower or rock. I am drawn to the combination of the serenity of the peaceful focus needed to manipulate & form metal and the thrill of soldering together two pieces of metal. I strive to build elegant showcases with metal to create pleasing pieces of wearable art. Settings are hand fabricated by cutting and piercing metal and soldering various components into the setting.
