Paula Oesterling
Born in Riverside, California, Paula began her professional art career in high school. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Drawing and Painting from the University of California at Davis.
Paula has furthered her studies in both California and Hawaii. She taught art in both public and private schools as well as giving private instruction. Her artistic endeavors include realistic and representational works in oil, acrylic, graphite and mixed media.
Paula's paintings and murals can be found in private collections, schools and businesses in Michigan, Colorado California and Hawaii. She currently paints and resides in northern California. Paula's Statement: Creating has been a journey of self-discovery.
Paula's work reflects my love for impressionism, the colors, shapes and emotions of Hawaii, and in mixing form with texture. Everything she sees produces a composition of possibilities in my mind.

Jared Lee Foster
Jared is an engineer by education, but has always found himself coming back to artistic endeavors. Prior to his studies in engineering Jared studied Art and Architecture for a year. After college he would find himself coming back to art whether that be through photography, pencil and charcoal or painting.
From those three creative mediums Jared was drawn to painting for the mediums ability to convey colors and textures. Other than the year of Art and Architecture Jared is a self taught artist with interest in color, self-expressive imagery, and natural abstraction in nature.
Jared was born in California and raised in Alaska where he started to understand the connections and importance of the natural world. Although he does not create traditional landscapes his interaction with the natural world guides how he looks at nature and the natural abstraction that occurs in the environment.
Many of Jared’s paintings are inspired by nature, but push away from the macro compositional framework and embraces the abstraction in nature when contextual markers are removed.
