Carol Lutz is an Albuquerque, NM fused glass artist, enjoys creating many different types of pieces, from functional work such as tables, dishes and lazy susans to wall art and sculptures. Her inspiration is nature and one of her great joys was teaching art to students from PK through 8th grade. For Carol, there is nothing better than the moment on a child’s face that tells her they created something special. Her philosophy is that children can find many ways to be successful by exploring a variety of mediums and art styles. She has an AA in Studio Art and shows her artwork at a variety of places, mainly Amapola Gallery in Old Town and the Rail Yards Market.

Catalina Salinas Gamarra. Is an oil painter that exhibits internationally and is a full member of the Amapola Gallery in Old Town Albuquerque. She grew fond of the indigenous cultures that surrounded her birthplace of La Paz, Bolivia. Her artwork creates optical illusions, and the composition orientation allows the observer to keep looking deeper, discovering textures and shapes like we do once we discover the beauty of design in nature. Her paintings are exhibited in Bolivia, Mexico and here in the USA.
