I started painting with acrylics about five years ago, so I am rather new to the arts world. I had one painting accepted for display at the Laurel Arts Guild show in Laurel, MD in the spring. I also will have about 10 paintings on display at the Meeting House Gallery in Columbia, MD in March. I primarily paint landscapes. I will retire from NASA in Feb., 2019 and plan to spend more time painting and displaying my artwork.

Nishita is a watercolor artist living in Maryland, USA. Born in India, she moved to North America in 2008 to explore a new professional opportunity. As a child, growing up in a home that was filled with books and conversations about art, Nishita took to painting literally like a duckling takes to water. Along with two of her siblings, who were equally artistically inclined, she participated in numerous painting competitions and won awards for her artwork (including the Soviet Land Nehru Award in 1988).
Lisa Battle is an artist who creates a distinctive style of abstract sculptures by handbuilding with stoneware clay. She explores form and line in three-dimensional space, inspired by patterns created in nature through wind and water erosion, and the graceful arching movements of dance. As a viewer moves around the work, the lines advance and recede, giving an undulating sense of movement. The subtle surface treatments of her work are derived from atmospheric firing techniques, including wood firing in a multi-chambered Noborigama kiln and pit firing.
