Phillips uses acrylic, crayon on paper, and cloth to express the great outdoors. See more at www. pphillipsartwebsite.com. |

| Tomako Suzuki is a life long resident of Seattle, WA and creates art on canvas and in photography. Every Autumn she travels the world looking for interesting, colorful venues.
