Anne Wellington

Visual Art, though unpredictable with its twists and turns, has been Anne’s lifelong guiding light. Whether she is sketching in the field or drawing in the studio, “art is the stable foundation through which I learn about life, beauty, truth, and God.”
She feels drawing and painting “is a dance between observing the intrinsic nature of my subject and interpret- ing that subject’s essence on the blank slate before me. I work primarily in graphite, ballpoint pen and watercolor on high quality, archival paper,” Anne says.
Early on, she combined her art exhibits in Santa Cruz, Calif., with concerts she produced. The concerts featured several of the Windham Hill artists, including George Winston and Michael Hedges. In 1984, she moved to San Francisco and worked in graphic design and illustration, but continued her fine art on the side.
In 1993, she began graduate study at the University of South Florida in visual sociology, studying homelessness. While there, Anne developed a methodology in which sketching on location was the primary vehicle through which she conducted her field study. This was an ideal way to connect with people for more formal interviews, and during them she drew a portrait of the person she was interviewing.
Upon graduation she returned to the Bay Area, once more doing graphic design and illustration for a living. In 2004, she migrated to the web, working as a User
Interface (UI) and Visual Designer. As an independent contractor, she worked for Apple, Cisco, and Hewlett Packard. Her web designer job at Intel led her to the Pacific Northwest in 2014. She retired in 2019 and now has more time to devote to her fine art.

Janel Pahl

The last 30 years, Janel has traveled the world photo- graphing our earth’s beauty. “As I grow older, living life with purpose has become important to me,” she says.

Recently, she extended her creative passion to a new art form — encaustic. “While I make no attempt to portray my subjects as realistic, I do want my creations to appear as if they have lived somewhere. I do not take life seriously, but my intent is to live life with a passion for it, and my art is just that. Art that pays tribute to the natural world reminds us to slow down and it helps us reconnect with nature and each other.”
The encaustic medium’s textures, layering, color, and composition are important features in her pieces.

An approved Professional Photographers of America instructor, and a PPA national judge, Janel is a master photographer and photography teacher. She has presented her workshops in Canada, Italy, Korea, England, Ireland.

Lynne Beck

Lynne, a Tillamook resident, graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh with a degree in ed- ucation and a minor in art. In 2005, she took a basic stained-glass class and learned mosaic work.
She continued working, increasing the difficulty of projects, and challenging herself to try various types of glass work. One of her first projects was making frames for mirrors for her daughter’s four bridesmaids. Each young woman had a different personality, so she created four different themes that included calla lilies. She’s continued reading and studying to hone her skills.
Lynne likes to garden and has a myriad of flowers, plants, and vegetables to tend. She belongs to a quilting group at her church that distributes quilts to the local hospice, hospital, police station, and charities.
Since her retirement in 2019, she’s been able to con- centrate her time delving into the many facets of the stained glass craft. She’s self-taught and tries to design panels with the beauty of glass, light, and the power of nature’s themes. “I often integrate and repurpose items and use natural found driftwood, shells, and other things into my work to accentuate the integration of art into the natural world,” Lynne says.
