Landscapes and cityscapes are the favorite subjects of Sarah Pollock, a former color stylist for Walt Disney Feature Animation who now works as a professional artist in eastern Tennessee. Sarah paints in oils, often working outdoors, directly on location, to capture the many beautiful landscapes around her home. She also finds inspiration in urban environments, drawing on their energy, architecture and humanity to capture the beauty of everyday moments she encounters while traveling throughout the United States and Europe. Sarah’s paintings are part of private collections throughout the country. She exhibits her paintings in juried outdoor fine art shows throughout the East Coast.

Jonathan Howe is a professional visual artist, continually developing his skills as a painter. In 2007, he graduated from Maryville College with a Bachelors of Art and soon launched into a full-time art career painting portraits and landscapes. Beginning with several portrait commissions, he soon discovered the joy of landscape painting as a way to communicate a story with moody light, color and expressive brushwork. His landscapes reveal his love for the outdoors developed by many years of hiking the trails of the Great Smoky Mountains and other national parks across the country. He has had the privilege of creating works for private and corporate collectors across the southeast.
