Olive Reich has for many years studied the intricate colors, shapes and patterns of nature.  Olive has etched out her own intriguing style.  As for her illusive media, she says, “The beauty of transparent watercolors is that you can play with areas, designing them and letting the glow move through your painting.”  Olive has numerous awards to her credit.  As Robert Henri stated, “Each man must take the material he finds at hand,...and then express in his art whatever is the cause of his pleasure.”  Olive’s hope is that the cause of her pleasure is expressed through her work, and in turn conveyed to the viewer who can momentarily be transformed in some significant way.  What more beautiful gift than to participate in a artist’s vision.

Jennifer Meihofer has been a photographer for the past 20 years. Although fine art photography is where here current photographic energies lie, her earlier professional years were primarily dedicated to portrait and wedding photography. Still life, commercial, and newspaper photography made their way into her portfolio as well. Additionally she spent two years as a photo restorer using Photoshop when it was a new phenomenon.

I was born in Princeton, NJ in 1960 and grew up in New York and Paris. Some of my earliest memories include drawing and painting, and I never lost that love. I was trained at New York University, Parsons School of Design, and the New School back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, when Abstract Expressionism was still reigning as king. Most of my teachers tried desperately to steer me into abstraction, but instead I drove them to distraction. I stuck to my preference for romantic realism and have never regretted it.
