Hazel Kahan
Hazel's background is as varied as her artwork. Born in India, raised in Pakistan and schooled in England, she has lived in Australia and Israel but now calls Long Island, New York home.

Sherry Tucker
The first time Sherry applied finger paint to paper in kindergarten, she was hooked on creating color and form on canvas. Sherry progressed from oils in high school, to watercolors in college, and most recently, to Japanese brush painting.

As a charter member of the Taka Sumi-e Society, founded in 2002 by Japanese Brush Painting teacher, Takashi Ijichi, she has exhibited annually at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. Sherry’s paintings are ... view »
