Bonnie Johnson
Life’s intricacies captured through painting and printmaking. I find inspiration everywhere. Very simply…I notice a scene or interesting flower or texture and want to share it through my art. Drawing on technical aspects derived from a professional career as an art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and art teacher, I paint in oil and watercolor and work with contemporary, non-toxic printmaking techniques. I love to explore a combination of traditional and non-traditional methods that push the boundaries where printmaking, drawing, and painting are combined and expanded into interesting and unique pieces.

Drawing is seeing. It is my desire to capture as much detail as I can see. Light, shadows and all of the shapes and patterns that result are exciting and challenging to me.

After creating my art I also make merchandise such as prints cards mugs and trivets that are sold on Etsy, local art shows, and local gift shops.

Miriam Nelson, Ph.D.
Miriam, known as “Mimi” at 55, became a sculptor. She started sculpting and creating small and monumental pieces using stone, metal, marble, steel, aluminum, and a free spirit. Miriam says she conceives of the shapes to cultivate a visceral reaction in the viewer, not to capture the likeness of something. “Abstract pieces are much more emotional than pieces that delineate somebody or something,” Nelson explains. “I want a piece to lift somebody and give them a feeling of elation, delight, humor, or whatever.”
Miriam had always wanted to sculpt, and when the Museum School at the Museum of Art in Coral Gables offered a class in stone sculptures in January of 1982, she signed up. Within a few years, she exhibited in galleries in and around Miami. She has produced small and large sculptures in homes on the Hudson River and at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park in Cazenovia, NY. She also paints. Just as she helped her clients as a psychotherapist find inner strength and beauty in themselves, over the last fifty years, Nelson has successfully extracted elegant and expressive forms from nature’s raw stone and metals and used her paint brushes and oils.

I am Professor Emerita, Department of Psychology, Baruch College, CUNY. Retirement has enabled me to live full-time in Sherman. It is impossible to live here without being inspired to photograph its beautiful landscapes, flora, and wildlife every day. For me, photography has always been a means of self-expression and a means of relaxation given my otherwise busy professional life. My combined interest in nature and photography began virtually simultaneously. When I was eight years old, my dad gave me my first camera, the Kodak Duaflex II. It accompanied me during summers at Girl Scout camp. Since then, photography has proven to be the primary medium through which I have explored the world. There have been countless workshops in National Parks [Denali, Yellowstone, Yosemite, The Tetons, Glacier, et al.] and abroad [France, Italy, England, Scotland, Iceland, Norway]. Among my favorite portrait photos are those taken when I worked with the Peace Corps in Senegal, West Africa. I have survived and appreciated the transition from film to the digital age, and, more recently iPhone photography with access to myriad creative apps.
Suzanne Bohrer Ashley
My work evokes the rhythms and harmonies of music, like the natural world around us. Nature inspires me to reflect upon my deep love of music and transcend the two-dimensional surface, using color to evoke mood and emotion. Starting with a simple composition and limited palette, I build multiple layers that produce contrast and ambiguity as life does. Listen to the melody and feel the composition. The images are provoked by the reactions a specific location has generated within me rather than by a representation of the actual scene itself.
Suzanne Lang
I work in various mediums, including oil and watercolor, focusing on nature. I enjoy painting landscapes and florals and exploring new techniques. Texture and color play an integral part in my paintings, helping to set the mood for each piece of work.
