Lucy Watkins

Lucy Peterson Watkins is a quilter, graphic artist and photographer who has morphed her art pieces into fabric and fiber art.

Lucy has completed well over 400 fabric pieces using free-motion embroidery and quilting techniques. Most of her pieces depict the place she grew up and loves, Cache Valley. Lucy feels her success has come from the illustration of the familiar and sometimes odd places in Cache Valley that individuals are reflective about.

She prints many of her photographs on silk or cotton and then uses dyes, oil paints and ink to achieve the finished design. She uses her sewing machine as a sketch pad and then fills in with paints and dyes.

Some of her fiber art quilts have over 5000 pieces. She has recently started to do tradition silk painting using resist techniques. She does sell some of her art pieces and occasionally creates a consignment piece.

Lucy uses a standard sewing machine. She lives in North Logan.

Larry Winborg

Larry's interest in art began when he was very young, he never considered anything other than a career in art. He graduated with a M.F.A degree from Utah State University in 1965.

Early in his career he became a very accomplished designer/illustrator and art director. During his illustration career his work appeared in many national and international publications. Larry's desire to express his feelings about life and nature through his fine art were always most important to him. He eventually left the commercial field to develop his masterful impressionistic and realistic painting styles.

His work can be found in many private and corporate collections. His originals and prints are available in several premier fine art galleries throughout the United States.

Jarrod "JROD" Eastman

JRod grew up surrounded by art. He was fortunate to travel from an early age and has great appreciation for "otherness" and cultural diversity. In the early 90's he embraced the paint brush and his nickname "JROD" and began the journey of becoming a self-taught artist and a free spirit. Fifteen years later he paints full-time, communicating his imagination through images. He is influenced by the nascent pop surrealism movement and the art of Maurice Sendak, Ralph Steadman and Derek Hess. His most creative moments are infused with motion, music and color.
