| Paintings by Steve Garst - I’m not going to try and explain my approach to painting because it doesn’t mean anything to anyone but me. Let me just say, I’ve been an illustrator most of my life and I’ve always taken on assignments that challenged me creatively and artistically. In my opinion, it’s the only way to improve your skills. To me, anyone that ever picks up a brush and applies paint to a canvas, whether you do it for your own amusement or you’re trying to impress the world, you have my deepest respect. No one tells you it must be done but you do it because you want to. That is art! And remember, no one should ever attempt to dictate your subject or your pallet, that’s personal, and only serves to remove any doubt about their lack of credentials. | ||
| Prints by Steve Garst - All prints are gallery quality, limited editions, signed and numbered by the artist. | ||

Happy 4th of July...we started with a bang!
at 1:30 this morning our dogs went crazy looking out our front windows. I went out to see what was causing this fuss and found a 4'2" timber rattler coiled up next to our bird bath. Not to worry, I calmly placed a couple of hollow-points through his wishbone... Watch your step!!! |
Paintings by Deb Garst - Using a combination of learned and created techniques, my one of a kind creations emerge from somewhere deep in my soul. I have always enjoyed stretching the envelope when it comes to painting and photography. Breaking all the rules is one of my mottos. My paintings seems to flow…literally … as my husband who has his drawing table facing mine can testify. He actually raised his table and tilted it to avoid my splattering and spilling. Keeping an open mind and relaxing, not trying to be constantly in total control, but allowing the painting to move to a place where it needs to be, is very important. | |

Photography by Deb and Steve
- Steve’s background in Wildlife Photography and Deb’s in
Photojournalism and Portraiture merge to reveal images that tell a
kaleidoscopic story. Each photo is a team effort, whether during the set
up, click of the shutter or final print. We draw inspiration from each
other and work as one.
