Besonen, artist and art teacher, earned her masters in art education from the University of Minnesota.

One of Besonen's featured works in this show is a wire sculpture titled "Honey Vessels."

Rossbach, an artist and art teacher, focuses on drawing, printmaking, book arts and mixed media. She has been influenced by the use of gold leaf in the ancient art of biblical illumination, a technique used in her nine-piece work titled "Road of Love."

Horsma's work is primarily watercolor and oil portraits. She is able to bring the individual character of her subjects to life using a strong chiaroscuro technique.
