	Druanne Dillon likes to capture her aspiring model dog and cat, farm and other animals, portraits of humans, dramatic landscapes and seascapes, fruit, things in the fog and the occasional band on film. An avid traveler with a quirky, restless artistic sensibility, Druanne strives to shoot pretty pictures that are also unusual, perhaps even edgy. Druanne shows regularly locally, has been part of exhibitions in Manhattan and has work hanging in collections in the U.S. and the U.K.
	Cheryl McNamara is an artist who uses the figure as a force to inspire work that mirrors an essence of beauty and emotion in life that is there for those who choose to see it. She produces a visual documentation of the spirit and joy for life that she possesses. Cheryl is a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate of Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
	Jack Putnam is largely self taught, but was blessed to grow up among talented artists who taught by example. He concentrates almost exclusively on painting and photo-graphing waterfront and waterway subjects, especially the tugs of New York Harbor.
	Michi Yamaguchi is an artist who focused on city scapes, the human figure and still-lifes in acrylic on canvas and paper. His career in architecture informs his painting. He has served as a volunteer Archivist at The Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation where he is a member of the Queer MenÕs Erotic Art Workshop. He is a member of the (LGBT) ArtGroup and has moderated the Life Drawing class at GMHC. He has exhibited his work in many group shows including the American Association of University Women Annual Art Show, Tom of Finland, Visual AidsÕ Postcard from the Edge and The LGBT Community Center. His work is in the permanent collection of the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation and many private collections.
