The Windrush Gallery is always on the lookout for the finest artists available to showcase their talents. With that in mind we are proud to announce that these artists have recently joined the gallery.

Don Tiller: “I am intrigued with the imprint left on the landscape when touched by mankind. Whether depicting fields and fences or the urban scene, I have given my interpretation of man’s attempt to initiate order in nature. Natural chaos provides interest balanced with geometric repetition.”

Flavia Eckholm: Flavia’s western landscapes portray the land that the pioneers found. The work is imbued with the emotional impact of discovery.

Brigitte Woosley: After a long career as a courtroom artist, Ms. Woosley has turned her talents in the direction of the fine arts, fulfilling a lifelong ambition of being a full-time fine art painter. “I've loved every minute of courtroom art and continue to sketch trials, but my focus is changing. I've explored all the creative options possible within the courtroom genre and I want more. I've always painted and exhibited when time permitted but, with the trials, never had much time.”

Marc R. Hanson: A viewer of my paintings wrote to me recently and had this to say, “Your landscapes are so evocative, for me so emotional. You have a gift for portraying more than realism in your landscapes-not something fantastical, but something simultaneously approachable and not. Not everyone will do what you do, but so many of us are deluded or ambitious enough to aspire to.” This very generous and kind statement describes exactly how I would hope that my art is received by those who view it. I try to live up to this ideal with each painting.

Julie Davis: “Painting completes my adoration for the land and nature; for its long views and open spaces. Capturing scenes of life's quieter places allows me to transform the overlooked into something worthy of pause. An intimate relationship with my subject occurs naturally as I study its form and tell its story. My hope is to challenge my viewer to momentarily hold in esteem the often subtle treasures around us.”

Carol Marine has begun teaching workshops across the country about daily painting, and is a member of Daily Paintworks, a distinguished group of daily painters. Carol divides her time between painting in and out of the studio (out with Plein Air Austin), teaching and playing with her family.

William Wray went on to work in writing and drawing comic books, animation and illustration. He is mostly known for his painting style on the Ren and Stimpy Show, his work in Mad Magazine and his collaborations with Mike Mignola on Hellboy Jr. Bill is currently concentrating on fine art oil painting.

Joshua Been, born in 1974, had no shortage of outdoor adventures that cultivated his appreciation for the natural world. Drawing since he could manage a pencil, he was captivated by animation and cartooning.

Martin Grelle:  Whether painting the Native Americans in a dramatic, picturesque setting or the working cowboy peacefully on the range, Martin Grelle captures the spirit, beauty, and vastness of the West in his historically-accurate, compelling images. Grelle is proud of his Native American ancestry and studies diligently to portray their culture accurately and sensitively. The artist also has an intimate knowledge of the cowboy’s way of life; each year he enjoys the Cowboy Artists of America’s (CAA) trail ride and spends time occasionally working cattle with local friends. Grelle has the incredible ability to take the most mundane, daily tasks of his subjects and elevate them to a new level in each painting.
