"Prior to owning my first cameras, I can recall as a child seeing shafts of light containing dust particles suspended, floating through time. This early fascination with light continues today." The quality of light, its direction, shape, and how it reveals form allow us to see the suspension of time. The magic of photography records light and time; these two constants remain of paramount importance, integral to my creative process.

Debra L. Snyder began her formal art education at Parsons School of Art & Design in New York, and years later, she studied acrylic and watercolor painting with renowned artists at the Woodstock School of Art. Her favored theme of landscapes and seascapes was inspired while living at the Jersey Shore, the Catskill Mountains, and the coastal areas of New England. Upon encountering alcohol ink while in Arizona, she was immediately intrigued by this fluid art, the brilliance of the pigment, and its versatility. Unlike acrylic or watercolor painting, alcohol ink allows for freedom of expression, which she finds unique and challenging. Debra has been practicing as an alcohol ink artist for the past seven years and continues to discover new techniques and applications with this exciting medium. Debra began teaching art classes in 2015 in New Jersey and went on to create her mobile art business, Art Party Express, LLC.

Brenda GolightlyBrenda Golightly is a self-taught artist, although she did attend one semester of art classes at Germanna Community College. She has over thirty years of experience painting with oils, acrylics and fluid art. While sketching and pastels was her first dabble into the art world, she soon discovered her passion for oil paintings and it became her favorite medium. She favors wet on wet and dry on dry techniques. Brenda believes painting is an expression of oneself and no matter have many paintings you have done, you will always grow and learn.
