Linda Celestian
Linda Celestian has lived in Arden and shown her paintings locally for the past eleven years. Her "Naturescapes" strive to capture the beauty of forms found in nature that might otherwise be overlooked. In her oil paintings subjects such as leaves, twigs and seashells take the forefront on richly glazed backgrounds.

Rob Montejo
Arden painter Rob Montejo is inspired as much by the physicality of drywall spackling and house painting, as by the transcendence and timbre of music.Each work is an endeavor to embody but a fragment of the great spectrum between joy and pathos.

Melissa "D" Bittinger
Melissa "D" Bittinger, a former anthropologist turned data analyst, exercises her creative side outside the office cubicle. She is inspired by nature, storytelling and folklore. Her sculpture leather masks, each a piece of wearable art, invoke transformation, imagination and mystery. D believes a mask tells a hundred tales, every one unique to the wearer. She encourages you to play with her work. Wear it, dance with it, don't just hang it on the wall.
