For her 40th birthday, Mary Fischer treated herself to a clay class. She has been working in clay ever since. After taking classes as Southwest School of Arts and Craft, Mary discovered that functional clay was not her language, and has spend her time instead developing the "bleakly whimsical" structures she is known for today. 

Sally Mitchell is a local member artist. Those who frequent our galleries should be familiar with Sally's regular contributions to the Members Galleries in various medias, but this one-person Garden Gallery show will be a great opportunity for visitors to see a selection of her photographic work.

The annual all-member exhibition highlights our family of artists and provides a chance to stand out as a Merit Artist the following year. An invited juror will chose five Merit Artists, and a sixth is selected by popular vote.
