These artists paint in plein-air in the natural landscape, sketch in urban locations, sculpt in studios and
photograph on mountaintops and in their neighborhoods. Depicting the landscape is a genre that is
centuries old, but these artists have found fresh new visions of the environment in which they live and
work
Warren Dreher’s work, which draws on his influence from Edgar Degas to Edward Hopper and
the California Impressionists to the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists, captures quiet moments through
his “quick strokes, immediacy of color and above all, his description of light”. Catherine Mackey’s
work portrays the relationship between humans and the urban landscape which results in beautiful
depictions of emptiness and decay. Her work is comprised of layers of paint, stencil, collage and
several different panels which are assembled as one work of art. Teresa Onoda who received her BA in
fine art from Creighton University and studied with Pam Glover is a plein-air painter whose boldly
colored landscapes and powerful brush strokes evoke the grandeur of the “endangered landscapes” of
Northern California..
