Alcohol Ink

Albina Papows creates vibrant alcohol ink artworks inspired by the colors, textures, and movement of the natural world, especially the ocean. A retired teacher of 40 years, she brings a spirit of curiosity and creativity to her work. Embracing the spontaneity of alcohol inks, she allows intuitive experimentation to guide each piece, resulting in unique visual stories that evoke wonder, beauty, and a meaningful connection to nature.

Mixed Media

Cindy Efinger is a mosaic and sculpture artist who transforms broken, forgotten, and discarded materials into works of beauty and renewal. Drawn to the quiet language of fragments, she creates pieces that honor both history and new life. Her recent mixed-media tabletop works, featuring stacked and spinning blocks, invite viewers to engage with and reimagine the artwork anew each day.
