MELISSA HABERMAN

Melissa Haberman is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. Moving to Vermont 21 years ago has inspired and changed the way she creates. Working and playing in the outdoors has definately affected her art-making. The nature in her own backyard, so to speak, has an influence in her prints and paintings. Melissa does not consider herself a landscape artist, but her art does contain images of nature, and invokes and includes inner thoughts and dreams. "Sometimes, I have these images or dreams in my head for a long time not knowing what to do with or make of them. They are just bits and pieces of thoughts and energies, which gradually are reflected in my imagery."

HEIDI LAGUE

Heidi Lague is an Elementary School art teacher and resides in Montgomery, VT. Her work includes collages, painting (acrylic and oil), and fiber arts. Her content varies between natural representations and abstract playful cacophony. Her hats are knitted of original design and excellent head-warmers for a cold Vermont afternoon.
"I am not unlike myself. I am an enigma to those around me. I am a journey of personal grace. My artwork is sentient. It is a reflection of the time that passes through me, in me, and with me. My paintings revolve around the pieces of my being that aspires to be. Just to be..."

BETH MCADAMS

Beth McAdams is a predominantly self-taught watercolorist since 1997. Color, form, and line-work are the elements of painting that are of the most interest to her. Her paintings are all abstractions to some degree, and are often non-objective. Sometimes, Beth will begin without an objective, but during the process of creating it, the work becomes and interpretation of an object or idea.
Beth tries to achieve depth in her paintings by applying many washes of transparent color, rather than by following the traditional rules of perspective. Her goal is to produce images that are reminiscent rather than realistic, and to simply share with the viewer her personal experience of creation.
