Linda Denman
Linda Denmas was raised in Ohio and moved to California in her 20s. She graduated from Cuesta College with an AA in fine arts. It was her dream to continue in the fine arts, but she decided to raise her family first. Now she spends her time with her husband, Joe, and riding her horse while pursuing her love of painting.
Her work is a balance of realism and abstraction. She finds great inspiration in the complex duality of horses – peaceful but full of energy and power. The western way of life has also contributed greatly to the look of her work; depictions of ranchers, rodeos, and cattle also define her work. The style she paints in is a balance of realism and stylism, bordering more heavily on the realistic aspect.

David Kreitzer
Artist David Kreitzer was born in Ord, Nebraska in 1942, The number four child in a family of ve. His father, The Reverend Mr. David Kreitzer, a Lutheran minister, and his mother, Norma, moved rather frequently during the years the children were growing up. The livelihood of a young country minister made moving a part of survival. From 1936 to 1950 pastor Kreitzer, an avid amateur photographer, recorded every aspect of his life on black and white lm.. The paintings listed here under the title Nebraska, have been shown under the title My Fathers Memories. These paintings are based upon the photo records kept by his father. Son David Kreitzer deciding to record the information stored in this vast array of black and white photographs has created a body of colorful paintings depicting his memories of growing up in the Nebraska countryside. They are a view back in time to the depression and WWII years in the heart of this country. Although the paintings are totally portrayed in his own style and sense of design, he has captured the lure of the countryside in the breadbasket of America much in the way his predecessors Grant Wood and Edward Hopper expressed their feeling about our land and our people. The paintings are a portrait of the richness of rural life that still exists today.

Kim Doherty
Kim Doherty grew up in New Hampshire hiking and skiing in the White Mountains and swimming in the lakes and rivers. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of New Hampshire. She currently lives in San Diego, CA with her husband and three children. She feels California is the most incredible state and is fortunate to have lived here the past twelve years. Her passion is painting scenes of beauty. Nature is the inspiration for many of her works. She has spent a great deal of time painting in San Diego, Laguna Beach, Paso Robles, Big Sur, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe.
My inspiration is nature. I am drawn to all types of landscapes: oceans, vineyards, mountains and flowers. Each painting holds special meaning to me. The places I paint are locations that bring me joy and peace. My hope is that this feeling will transfer to you and that you will find your own connection to the art. Many collectors of my work have commented that their paintings make them happy and that they are able to enjoy a feeling of being in that location every day from their own home or business. I am passionate about painting and love the continuous journey and challenge of creating new pieces. Art is about emotion and if emotion is reflected to the viewer in my work then I have succeeded.
