Both artists draw inspiration from trees and the natural world, creating works that draw attention to the beauty of nature and the details of our landscape that are often overlooked.

Mary Ellen Bowers

Mary Ellen Bowers uses her unique mixed media mosaics to uncover "hidden beauty" in items she rescues from "their one-way trip to the landfill." She creatively re-purposed discarded credit cards, gas cards, and gift cards to "create images that draw the viewer in to discover the details - and then realize in surprise, the materials used."

Sam Trout

Sam Trout’s installation combines sculpture, painting, and lighting to create a visual experience that seeks to evoke a sense of wonder within each viewer. Creating a three-dimensional version of his abstract painting style, the artist was inspired by ideas of sustainability, environmentalism and the balance between overwhelming hope and despair.
