Ellen Boulanger
Artist Statement
The paintings in this show are diverse and include plein air works as well as those from photos and my imagination. Creativity is my source of spirituality, a kind of meditation, a way to shut the hasty world outside and enter into a state of complete utter absorption. I paint to bring my love of color and brush stroke to those who enjoy the music it conveys.

Artist Bio
After a career working with computers, I turned to art. Basically I’m a self taught oil painter, although I have taken a number of painting classes and attended plein air workshops from Bay Area artists. Over the years, I’ve gained a few ribbons from shows I’ve entered, and have shown and sold my work in galleries throughout Sonoma, Mendocino, and Marin counties.

Craig Maize Photography
Craig Maize Artist Statement:
I began using a camera for it's obvious function - to take photographs. The more photos I took the more immersed in photography I became. I sought out knowledge in any form that I could find.
A practice that still continues today. If my photos have a mission, it is this: to capture the memories of today that you will
treasure tomorrow and for the years
to come, and present them in a different and interesting way.
It may be a vivid sunset, a striking landscape, a beautiful piece of art or a musician expressing his emotion through his instrument. Whatever the subject, it is my hope that these images will stir up unexpected memories and feelings in the viewer.
Craig Maize is a photographer specializing
in many different forms of photography from portraits to sports to landscapes to real estate and more.
He got his start in photography by taking photos of his friends who were playing in local bands. After booking his first portrait photo shoot he decided to take his hobby to the next level and started Craig Maize Photography. He is dedicated to becoming the best photographer that he can be, spending countless hours learning
his trade.
His work can be viewed on FaceBook at Craig Maize Photography and on Instagram at cmaizephoto.
