List of featured artwork | Updated Sept. 2025
Beth Barger
Beth’s paintings invite the viewer to linger in life’s quiet moments, where light turns the familiar into the sublime. She follows its shimmer across shorelines, meadows, interiors, and even the faces of animals, chasing the fleeting magic that makes the ordinary glow with mystery. Though her impressionistic style has earned national recognition, Beth measures success in something less tangible—the hush of recognition when a viewer feels what she once felt at the easel. For her, a painting’s journey is fulfilled only when it awakens that shared sense of wonder in another soul.

Min Zhong
Painting and Drawing is a state of living to me. As a portrait and landscape artist, people and nature are my inspiration; my style empathizes with the subject I paint. I am striving to see the essence of the person or the scene, to tell a story, explore an idea, and/or convey a particular feeling. I hope the captured moment will inspire and resonate with the viewer.
