Pamela Moore

As an Artist, I am inspired by many things; fellow artists, colors, glazes, mixing colors and media. I never stand still, but my love of nature gives me joy. I have found that teaching art is a fascination for me because I, myself, continue to learn. I give private lessons, one to one professionals. I have the ability to teach watercolor, acrylic, and oil and I love it. My learning in Europe was a true experience. My teachers were very strict and difficult at times, but truly worth it.

Brenda Zaloudek

I grew up a city girl from Enid Oklahoma surrounded by the golden fields of wheat that were the predominant crop grown in north central Oklahoma. The struggles, aspirations and dignity of the farmer were instilled in me by my parents and grandparents who farmed on the family homestead just north of Enid near the small town of Pond Creek. I met my husband in college who was a small-town farmer.  After we were married, we both longed to explore the world away from the golden fields. Now later in life, I have come to realize the value of our roots in those golden fields and those of many colors that we have discovered in our life journey. We have come to realize how much we value our heritage, a love of the soil.

I find that I’m constantly inspired by things around me – a sweet moment in time, a dramatic sunset, a country landscape. I am drawn to nature – the water, mountains, the countryside.  I love the colors of flowers, the majesty of the mountains and the movement of water.

Although I may be very familiar with a place or subject and have my own perspective, I want you to use my work as a starting point to complete your own story.  What type of day is it?  Who left the flowers on the table? Is the place deserted and lost in time? All of my senses influence my work and I hope that your senses are stimulated when you view it.

Karey Santos

As a self-trained artist, Karey has created in watercolor, acrylics, fiber, and stained glass for years. Upon retiring from public education, she focused her recent work in acrylics as her favored medium.  She has achieved success with her creative renditions and has original and commissioned pieces hanging across the country. Her award-winning work has also garnished distinguished recognition nationally and can be viewed via several on-line galleries, linked to her Facebook account. Locally, Karey’s work is exhibited at Aiken Center for the Arts, Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta, and other local venues. She is active in the local arts community, having served on both the Aiken Artists Guild and Aiken Center for the Arts Boards.

Mrs. Santos describes herself as a visual storyteller, using light, form, and color to interpret snapshots of humanity. Bold colors and brush strokes express the intrinsic mark, or feeling, as it relates to the subject.  “I want my work to challenge viewers to see beyond the painted marks, to the unique story they reveal and the emotions they invoke.”

She and her husband, Joe, have made Aiken, South Carolina their home for over 40 years.
