Lauren Rutten -- Photography
"Explorer. Artist. Photographer. Educator. Writer. Swashbuckling World Traveler. Photography has been my primary creative language since I was 16 and I've been blessed to earned a living as a photographer for the past 30 years. The world of images and stories has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love of travel took me around the world in 2013 and 40,000 miles across the America in 2015-16.
Kari Morton -- Quilts
"I have been involved with texture and fabric since making her first apron (too many) years ago. As a teenager, my goals were to have a law practice, a designer clothes store and a restaurant, as I enjoyed sewing and cooking and envisioned putting the bad guys away. As a stress reliever for the confrontational aspect of the practice of law, I discovered quilting.
