My parents are Californians who moved here in their early twenties.

This week’s featured artist: Janna Zuber, member since 2013: ME: I am a life-long resident of Maryland and still wondering how I persuaded my California surfer boy/husband to settle here. The arts have always been an important part of my life. In 1974 I received my B.S. degree from the University of Maryland College of Housing and Applied Design. I immersed myself…
This week’s featured artist: Steve Ember, member since 2013: ME: I’m originally from Baltimore, but I have spent most of my life in northern Virginia. I now live in West Springfield, VA.

This week’s featured artist: Angela Petruncio, member since 2007: ME: I grew up surrounded by art. My father and grandfather were gifted artists. Although I have had some diversions on my way to becoming a recognized artist (among them, a 13-year stint in the U.S. Air Force), I never lost my desire to express myself through fine art. I received my Fine…

This week’s featured artist: Andrée Tullier, member (this time around) since 2007: ME: My interest and passion for art started early – in grade school.

This week’s featured artist: Margaret Boynton, Gallery Director: This is a special post, as Margaret has a message for everyone: ME: Growing up with both a father and an aunt that are working, professional artists – Lee Boynton and Margaret McWethy – meant that art has always been very naturally a central part of my life. It hasn’t always been a straight or easy…
This week’s featured artist: John Jensen, Board of Directors; member since 1985: ME: I was talking to a friend on the phone the other day. I hadn’t spoken to him in over 40 years.

This week’s featured artist: Ric Conn, member since 2000: ME: My artistic career began at age 5 with my first freehand drawings.
