Wildlife Photography by Alain Wu
Tuesday, July 6 through Friday, July 30
Throughout his adult life, Alain Wu has explored wildlife in its natural environment, and he has had the opportunity to capture the wonders of nature through the art of digital photography. For the last ten years he has traveled far and wide, and to many pristine corners of the world to experience the wonder of wildlife in its purest form. His digital camera has allowed him to capture precious images of a wide variety of wild animals in their natural habitat. Alain has had the opportunity to learn from many well known nature photographers whose hands-on workshops have guided him through the amazing advancement of digital imaging and technique. Digital photography allows him to capture wildlife on the move as nature intended. It has created a whole new way to capture his love of nature in a very fun, challenging and ultimately satisfying experience. The medium in which photography is viewed is just as important as the way his subject is captured on camera. He has used canvas printing for all his photography in this exhibition. The canvas printing introduces a rich texture that further enhances his photography.

Karin Ingrid Reynolds
July - August
Karin Ingrid Reynolds has always enjoyed drawing! Born in Germany, she immigrated to Canada at age 14, where she later met her husband, an aeronautical engineer from California. Upon his death in 1970, Ingrid took up oil painting as a hobby, but had to put it on hold for her two sons and their multiple athletic activities, as well as for her career. After having managed a medical practice for approximately 20 years, she retired and once again took up oil painting under the instruction of Carolyn Westfall and Lorry Carroll.
Ingrid continues to be active by engaging in tennis, biking, skiing and hiking. She has done extensive traveling throughout her life and loves to read, but painting comes first in her list of activities.

Marlene Scott
September - October
Marlene Scott's professional career was primarily as a designer of menswear. Her offices were located in Los Angeles and New York. Her position required that she travel to Europe four times a year creating menswear using many different fabrics and colors. After twelve years, she decided to stay home until her children graduated from school. She then decided to go back to work in a completely different field, in an area that interested her. She has always been interested in space. She found a position with Ultrasystems and enjoyed working there for ten years.
She retired several years ago and tried working with color again, but this time, to create art work. She began painting nine years ago under the guidance of Martin Driscoll. In the beginning she painted still life and then tried landscapes. Neither worked for her until she was inspired by her instructor to paint out of her comfort zone. She started to paint people and realized it was much easier and interesting. When Martin Driscoll moved to Texas a few years ago, Marlene started taking painting classes with Carolyn Westfall. She tends to paint people from different parts of the world and in different backgrounds. When painting she gets into the character and personality of the individuals and really gets to know them - almost like a good book.
