Terry Biegler

Formerly a graphic designer, Terry Biegler has turned her attention to fine art since moving to the mountains.  Although she continues to try various mediums, stained glass and glass mosaics are her favorites.  She also creates wire-wrapped art and jewelry using gems, minerals, fossils and glass objects in her designs.  Photography, digital art and acrylic painting also keep her busy.  Formerly from Fort Worth, Terry and her husband, Jim, escaped to Fort Davis, Texas, in September 2004.  Her inspiration comes from music, nature and the creative spirit of other artists.

Jan VanLiere

I am a naturalist at heart.  I enjoy finding the magic and mystery in the ordinary.  From old dead trees, from insects, from the food we eat, even from the nuances of behavior, there is beauty and wonder and mystery all around. These are the inspiration for my paintings and sculptures.” I am not in any galleries out there yet, though I am a member of Big Bend Arts Alliance. If someone is interested in my work, my email is janvanliere27@gmail.com
