Meet The Artists

Rebecca Rousseau As a child in El Paso, and later a teacher on the border, Rebecca was drawn to the colorful Mexican toys and brightly colored culture drenched in the desert sun. In other years spent growing up in the  rich culture outside of New York City, her  easy access to the arts were a fertile ground for painting, drawing and dreaming of being a painter.  To see more of her work, go to http://www.rebeccarousseau.com/

John Darling I remember the first Earth Day.  I was with a group of other people picking up trash in Phoenix, Arizona at Encanto Park.  As we were toiling in the hot sun, people would drive by and laugh at the Hippies picking up garbage and then throw some more out for us to clean up.  We all smiled and flashed peace symbols at them.  I have been an environmental activist ever since that day.

Stephanie Lee I’m first-generation Korean-American and speak Spanish better than Korean.  I’m a native Southern California girl and learned the hard way that it really is nice living in Orange County.  I like to create and express myself in whatever way possible.  My passion is to take action in pursuing my dreams and following my heart.   
Sandy Beyer Sandy Beyer (a.k.a.  Aunty Burr), will soon be introducing  a series of abstract artworks she appropriately calls FireArt.  Sandy was born in the windy city of Chicago and eventually blew her all the way out to Rockford, IL in the early 80's. Photographs of campfires soon turned into digitally altered, random mixes of abstract art. FireArt is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind you'll get.
