Her phtotgraphy was published nationally, inlcuding O Magazine and Rosie Magazine and she appeared on the NBC Today show with Anne Curry.
Maxine Mueller
Born in New York, Mueller moved to Houston in 1965 and her career in the travel industry gave rise to the sites she wanted to share in her artwork. Mueller said she was inspired by the light and color in Santa Fe to share “the beauty, balance and inspiration.” Mueller believes that “art affords us an opportunity to slow down and enjoy what God has created for us. It is a gratifying way to keep our spirits uplifted and it brings joy to my life to be capable of doing this.”

Janis Ross
Janis Ross is a native of England and is the director of The Clay Arts Museum and Educational Organization. My belief is in the saying by the Peruvian Incas, "In the beginning, God gave to every people a cup of clay. And from this cup, they drank their life." For me this gift has been accepted by the human race, in all times, and in all places to produce things of beauty and utility.
Liduine Beckman
Ruben Freeman
As a member of the Member Pulchri Studio Artist Guild in the Netherlands and long-time resident of Texas and
Florida, Liduine Bekman has been shown extensively in galleries, public exhibition spaces, festivals and competitive exhibitions on the national and international stage. Her work represents the ocean from all the various coasts, from the Netherlands and the North Sea to the seemingly limitless variety and ultimate complexity in the sea
creatures of the Gulf and Pacific Coasts. Intrigued by the beauty of the colors and the many shapes, everything from soft and ethereal
to stark and threatening, Liduine presents a view and signature painting style all her own.
