Artist Diane Wlezien’s work is inspired by a journey of healing, compassion, and connection. Through her volunteer work with hospice and palliative care patients, accompanied by her beloved miniature horse Sunny, she witnessed the extraordinary power of comfort, hope, and unconditional love. Sunny’s gentle spirit touched countless lives—and continues to be a guiding light in Diane’s own healing journey. Sometimes, all it takes is a small nudge and a kind heart to help us move forward. ❤️🐴✨

For more than five decades, Kent Alexander has explored the space between representation and abstraction, creating paintings that invite reflection and discovery. Working in oils with brushes, palette knives, and other tools, he brings to life figures whose emotions and inner journeys resonate beyond the canvas.

Guided by intuition and experience, Kent's work embraces mystery, connection, and the search for meaning. His paintings encourage viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own stories within the layers of each piece.
