Artist Mary Jean Mailloux is one of many of the artists whose work will be showcased in this exhibition.

Mailloux works out of her home studio, en plein air and at the OAS. Her subjects vary from florals to the human form in action. Micheline Likas, another artist in the show, is a potter. She specializes in teapots and other functional pieces designed and constructed from clay. Likas loves to sculpt add-on pieces to enhance her works. She has been potting for 26 years and has worked in the OAS studio and taught classes to both children and adults for the passed 14 years.
