Donna Duerk
I grew up in North Carolina and have had a garden since elementary school and a camera since my first Brownie Hawkeye at twelve. Architecture at Cal Poly brought me to California in 1981. I got serious about photography in an underwater class with Mike Francis who said, "Make sure that the fish's eye is in focus!" The underwater film gear got stolen, the world turned digital, I turned into a Master Gardener, and the world of cacti and succulents opened a fascinating new venue of exploration in addition to the usual flowers. So, here I am.

Barry Goyette
Barry Goyette is a photographer/designer based in San Luis Obispo. He completed his studies at Cal Poly in 1989, and specializes in photographing people for advertising. Goyette also provides interior and graphic design services for a number local commercial clients. His photography and design work is also regularly seen in association with a variety of non-profit organizations including the Civic Ballet of San Luis Obispo, Ballet Theatre of SLO, DeyoDances, Transitions Mental Health, and The San Luis Obispo Symphony.

Goyette is a regular contributor to the local arts scene, producing numerous exhibits of contemporary photography over the past 18 years.

Jeff Jamieson

He has concentrated on small-scale works for the last 5 of those 32.
He is still finding and seeing good new things.
He will show some of the new small-scale works at David Patton in Los Angeles in April.

Bill Mulder
We are a loose confederation of bicycle riders that do it from a different perspective. Tall bikes are nothing short of a parade when riding down a street. One has to try really hard not to have a positive reaction to a tall bike passing by. We strive to inspire individual creativity, community giving, and having a good time while doing it "Posse Up" and ride high with us!

Inga Swearingen
While she readies her album for a 2009 release, Inga Swearingen continues to grow and evolve as an artist; playing everything from jazz vespers in San Francisco to Tanglewood with James Taylor and a Prairie Home Companion. She incorporates her experiences to enhance her skill as a singer who conjures with her audience. She concludes, "I want an audience to feel uplifted and connected. I want them to know that they can make music more a part of their lives. It's a wonderful profession, I love what I do."

Tracy Taylor
Tracy’s studio occupies the second story of a century old rural general store surrounded by vineyards, in Edna Valley. Although she specializes in watercolors, she also loves to paint in oils. Self taught, Tracy sold her first painting at fourteen.

While living in Hawaii early in her career, she became fascinated with painting the local tropical fish and since then has sold hundreds of thousands of aquatic watercolor posters worldwide.
