Anna Roberts, Bob Meyers, Pat Hooper, Cherylex Lowe, Diane Kiemeyer, Ann Cole Rose, Jerry Smith, Rebecca Chapman, Noël Johns, and Kelly Johnson. Hoosier artist Rena Brouwer is this year’s featured artist. From renabrouwer.com: “Rena Brouwer … has been recognized and winning awards for her watercolors since her high school years. She has studied under Zolton Szabo, Christopher Schink, Charles Reid and other accomplished artists. A self-taught artist, her collaborative spirit and pursuit of independent creative thinking, resulted in a career in visual design with a corporate company upon graduation from high school. Her career has included working with international fine arts companies in the promotion of their products. Her philosophy has always been to accept challenges and learn from those whom she works with. This directive has brought many diverse opportunities and jobs throughout her artistic career. Having created exceptional watercolors throughout her career, Rena has taught watercolor at national art conventions, colleges, museums, state and nationwide community venues. She has served on national, state and local boards for art organizations, including the Watercolor Society of Indiana, Midwest Watercolor Society, Indiana Artists Club, and Wabash Valley Watercolor Society.”
