Marilyn Simandle | Plein air painter
Marilyn Simandle has always known that she would become an artist. Learning from her mother, a musician and painter, Marilyn started painting watercolors at age 6. She received her BA Arts Degree from San Jose State Univ. and went on to share her inspiration with the world.
A native Californian, she now resides in the Santa Ynez Valley where she explores all her passions: Painting, gardening and playing the piano. The former stewardess is an avid traveler and photographer that keep her fully stocked with subject matter for painting. Her late husband and acclaimed artist, Ted Goerschner, graduated to be with the Lord in 2012.

Cristina Fornarelli, 1978 | Figurative Palette knife painter
Cristina Fornarelli was born in Bari, Italy. After art school, she attended the Institute of Industrial Design in Rome where she still lives and works.
She has taken part in many national and international art fairs.
The subjects of her paintings are always women in equilibrium, hanging on swings, dangling in the air, dancing in an indefinite space emphasizing this delicate atmosphere. Her dreamlike subjects are relaxed and nostalgic, where the image seems crystallized and frozen.
