Cheryl Louise Olney grew up in 1950's Detroit, surrounded by a loving family. A dreamy child who always tried to fit in with her peers, she somehow felt a little out of sync.

Doug Hunt is a California artist. Much of the fine art he does today is accomplished in oil stick. Since 1998 the theme has been wine related and he is currently involved in a couple of series..."From the Vine" and "Cafe Series". These are bold, colorful, intimate encounters with the subject matter. His impressionistic style, a kind of sophisticated crudeness, and the depth created by heavy shadows, make his pieces soft and visually pleasing.

Founded in 1975, Hilborn Pottery is a Canadian company, specializing in original wheel thrown and hand built clay products of exceptional function and form.

The hands-on art form called "pinch" pottery has been the method of choice for Barbara Walch since she began making pottery full time in the early 1970's. This process involves starting with a chunk of clay and forming it patiently into a shape, either functional or fanciful, using only the artists hands and imagination. Because each piece is hand built no two are ever exactly alike. Lately Walch has been experimenting with the ancient technigue of building containers using coils of clay, as well as from flat "slabs".
