Artist/Teachers Tanya Jenkins and Karen Hill Garman are environmentally conscientious and their love of nature is brought to life in their artwork -- both ceramic and paintings.

Tanya is the Ceramics Teacher, she personally has 12 pieces in this collection. There are four series with three pieces each, reflecting her interpretation of nature's beauty in her sculptures and the lifelike forms which hold texture and appliques in perfect harmony. Karen is the Drawing and Painting Teacher and will have ten Paintings with broad sweeping strokes depicting iconic landscapes. The Advanced Students work will consist of paintings and ceramic works.

ACAI Gallery would like to thank Taylor Gutermute, a past Visual Art Program Director in San Juan Unified School District, who contacted Karen Garman in order to bridge gallery with Bella Vista High School Art Department.
