Meet the Artists:
Jan Bittenbender's journey into the art world began 25+ years ago when she studied advanced seed-bead techniques and began a successful jewelry business. A couple of years ago, she became interested in wool felting, and started making wet/dry felted paintings. This medium is free-form, organic and spontaneous! Jan incorporates seed/bead work along with merino, bamboo, rose and silk fibers to create beautiful and fun pieces of art.
Gretchen Weitemier started Gretty Beth Arts from her interest in using wood and paper for woodblock printmaking, painting, and collage, and wood as a canvas itself for painting, carving, and pyrography (woodburning). Her passion is guided by intuition and a profound sense of gratitude.
