"Fish Bar"	Doug Calder Category: Ink drawings and acrylic paintings Artist Statement: My work is primary focused on life on Whidbey Island, its people, its culture, and its nature.
"Captain Whidbey Inn"	Susan Jensen Category: Pastels Artist Statement: The first time I touched pastels, I fell in love. Their glowing colors of pure pigment and creamy texture transformed and inspired me. I am constantly learning how versatile they are and feel it would take a lifetime to master them.
"White Sands"	Steve Marts Category: Digital Photography Website: http://www.stevemartsphotography.com Artist Statement: I work with composite images to create a photo that appears real yet offers the viewer an alternate reality.
"Dem Bones"	Kathleen Otley Category: Large Willow Mixed Media Sculptures and Primitive 3D MM Paintings Website: http://www.otleyart.com Artist Statement: Using the finest farmed willow branches, I peel and dye each reed, bundle together with ropes, metals, leather and cords into dimensional art sculptures for wall and floor. Similar techniques are combined with paint and wax for square flat wall art.
