Artists: Clarence & Val Butcher, Jan Harvey, Craig Tompkins & Larry Gaskill

Valerie & Clarence Butcher:  Val's Studio began with painting. But four years ago, Valerie began to lose her eyesight.  Not wanting to give up art, she returned to her love of sculpting.  While working on one of her pieces, she stopped at a glass studio for glass she needed.  There she discovered an art form which was the start of her and Clarence using her pottery kiln to create fused and slumped glass art.

Jan Harvey:  My country flavored artwork has been inspired by 16 years of farm life as a "pinecreeker" in rural Oregon, IL.  I love painting buildings, esp barns but will paint anything that doesn't move.  I'm amazed at God's handiwork as I study his originals to to mine.
