BEVI BULLWINKEL says, "Painting to me is like poetry. While working in any media, I try to distill my thoughts and feelings. I hope to express the essence of what lies beneath the surface. My intent is to evoke emotion and convey a sense of mystery."

TOBY MICHAELS is an award-winning, full-time abstract expressionist, after serving many years as an art therapist. She has had numerous art shows in her long and productive career.
