Diane Rajotte Skinner

A passionate photographer for many years, Diane Rajotte Skinner is currently inspired to create mostly abstract designs from original photos taken in different parts of the world.

Susan Daub

Susan Daub is an “accidental artist”, and started exploring painting as a means to minimize her perfectionism and enhance her recovery. She tends to focus on abstract florals, and bold bright messiness best describes her style and approach. She is always surprised when the chaos turns into something. Much like Susan’s own recovery journey, her art is a constantly evolving piece of her life.
