Beth Mueller
 Potter Beth Mueller paints in small scale but dreams big. She is drawn to the
look of small objects in large spaces, surrounded by a sea of white. Her minute
characters come from planning as well as random doodling; Mueller is a
compulsive sketcher who is occasionally surprised when she looks down and sees
what her hands have drawn! She wants her art to tell a simple and uncomplicated
story and it manages to touch lives in the process.

Bill Joyce
 If artist Bill Joyce could have one super power he would want to be able to
'achieve bliss under any circumstances, keeping everything bad at bay.' Joyce
has been able to spread that sort of bliss with his creations: quirky robots
with human emotions, adventurous little boys, toys that come to life and brave
good bugs. Joyce is a complete artistic package rolled into one bespectacled
body. He lives and works in Shreveport, Louisiana, with his wife Elizabeth and
two children. HIs family and friends provide him with endless amounts of
material that make it into the pages of his books and onto the movie screen of
his imagination.

Linda Crispell
 Linda and her husband Gar Crispell are the couple you would want to hang out with; sharing stories of unique flea market finds. The Crispells have created a family tradition of going to flea markets and estate sales for fun that is part historical, part educational and part thrill of the hunt! They buy things that most of us would ignore and repurpose them in clever ways that make house guests say "why didn't I do that?" Though Linda loves to collect she does not like to keep, so friends often find themselves being offered unexpected lagniappe.

Heather Ross
 Describing what Heather Ross is in one word is exercise in language
mastery. She started creating with fabric at six, by the time she was ten she
was drawing her own patterns and designs. By her teens, she was sewing for
friends and today, she is creating beautiful fabrics for others to personalize.
Heather has already 'been there, done that' and is heading off into new
directions as her personal life shifts from the expansive country living that
she loves to the hectic hustle of the big city.
