CarrieGlenn and Larry Megill have been design partners for more than three decades.  After meeting at the University of Tulsa, they began to produce simple welded artworks in the early 70's.  A shared fascination with biology inspired them to incorporate insect and flower motifs into their work.  Their art is expressive of their sense of wonder and delight with living in the physical world.  Inspired by the forms and shapes of the natural world, their work has "a healthy measure of mythic content and its wealth of references to that part of 'reality' not viewed straight-on; but only perceived with imaginative intuition."

Michael Serkownek is a nature and landscape fine art photographer who primarily photographs subject matter throughout Oregon and Tennessee, as well as other areas of the United States.  His photography captures the lavish landscapes and glorious nature of Oregon and Tennessee through simple and unique compositions.  His prints often have the appearance of a fine watercolor painting rather than a photograph.  To capture the print he envisions, sometimes return visits, over years, are required for all the conditions of light, color and subject to come together.

Jorge A. Yances' work is a fusion of reality and fantasy.  His art is often described as being part of the "magic realism" movement, because it takes the viewer beyond the tangible world into the hidden essence of life that walks hand in hand with everyday reality.  Each piece of art transports the viewer into an enchanted world, transforming a real vision into an unreal one.
