Kathy Weiner
Artist
I have always been captivated by portraits and run to them in any art museum I enter! How does the artist show gravity or dignity, strength or innocence? What does a smirk or a twinkle tell us about the person?
Although still a beginner, my hope is to capture the essence (if not likeness) of a person.
Sometimes it’s with pastel pencils or chalk, other times it’s with soft graphite or charcoal stick. But always it’s seen from my own perspective. With my grandson, sons, father and brother it’s through eyes of love; with celebrities it’s through pure fascination.

Kim McKerracher
Artist
My name is Kim McKerracher and I've been doing my art on and off since 2000. Just in the past few years, I've been signing my painting with..."KWAZ". A shortened version of my maiden name and a common nickname from my childhood friends.
I took up painting and drawing to help deal with the stress of a geriatric nursing profession. I have found that when I am painting, I feel like I am in the right place at the right time, for just that moment. I have been a nurse for over 40 years.
In order to turn my mind off from the stress and strain of death, loss, and management, I turned to the joys of color and the beauty of nature. Sublime flowers, rejuvenating waters, and intriguing faces, these are all blessings from God. These bring joy to my world which I want to share with others through paint. To be reminded of better moments in life provides an avenue of healing from our hurt and pain. Art can reset our perspectives.
I am open to embracing the unknown and the uncertainty of art. My art certainly cultivates my confusion endurance, since I am wired for variety. I believe all art is valid. It may shout perfection to the masses. It may speak prose to the few. Or just whisper meaning to the one. I believe all art is valid.
