John Barhydt - photographer
“The darkroom (wet or digital) provides me with a way to express the moment and to create images that celebrate the boldness of color and light that nature offers us everyday.”

Scott Hodgdon – painter and illustrator
The use of dramatic color in his newer paintings set them apart from his illustrations. They reflect the artist’s desire to paint subjects based on nature while recalling memories of his early years in rural Maine and New England.
