Lyn Adrian
I have been a wood carver and wood burner (pyrographer) for 20 years, with emphasis on burning (pyrography) for the last 8 years. I have exhibited and sold works at numerous carving club shows and contests, juried art shows and arts & crafts shows. I have won first place ribbons and other prizes. I am a member of the National Wood Carvers Association, The Great Outdoors Carving Club, Space Coast Wood Carving Club, and the North Brevard Art League. I teach novice and intermediate wood burning (pyrography) and wood carving at both carving clubs.
Not all artists, carvers or burners create scenes using a burner, so it is a lot of fun to introduce a new media to people!
Gloria Brubaker
"I define art as a language of life's vibrance: a transformation of human emotion into imagery. An invitation for the viewer to pause and reflect, and to share an experience."
Gloria's passion is painting with watercolor -- dealing with the challenge the medium presents, and the requirement to work with the medium, not to control it. Her art addresses a wide range of subjects, from Florida flora and fauna to urban cityscapes and their diverse populations. These works can be viewed on her website: www.gloriabrubaker.com.
Gloria is an active member of the North Brevard Art League, the Brevard Watercolor Society, the Florida Watercolor Society, and the Eastern Upper Peninsula Arts Council.
Renee Stewart
I have been making art as long as I can remember. I am visually oriented and drawn to line and color. After earning degrees in art from UCF (Go Knights!) and UGA (Go Dawgs!) I managed to work as an artist in some capacity as often as possible, including graphic design, screen printing, indoor galleries and outdoor shows, and teaching youth and adults. These days I have the freedom to create what I love. I work primarily in acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media, including my spirit dolls which have proven to be inspirational and therapeutic for myself and others.
