Annie Beggs
106 E. Pine St. Cascade, ID 83611- Cascade Cultural Arts Center
I am a multi-disciplinary artist and craftswoman working in ceramics, printmaking, fiber arts, analog photography, and painting. My work consists of utilitarian and decorative objects. In collaboration with natural materials, I aim to facilitate a sense of belonging in domestic spaces, as well as a connection to the earth and one another. At the Cascade Cultural Arts Center, I lead a variety of community art-making workshops for all ages as well as after-school Art and S.T.E.A.M. programming. I have always enjoyed working with my hands and I’m always learning something new, but most of all, I love encouraging and inspiring others to create.

Debra Bonsack
Bonsack Studio at Roots & Relics Gallery
Hub: 503 Pine St., McCall, Idaho 83638
Bonsack specializes in textural Acrylic. The medium is fluid like watercolor yet thick like palette knife oil painting. This unique technique has become her signature work. The artist has experienced great success from this self developed formula and it was not until recently has chosen to teach this to her students. In addition to the unique medium, Debra has added textural silk painting to her portfolio. These unique textile paintings are enhanced with free motion stitches, needle punched wool and silk roving and embroidery. The defining element between the two unique mediums is texture, BonSack’s signature art element.

Llona Jensen
Artwork by Llona
1002 S. Mission St. McCall, ID 83638
My life and work have been spent in the outdoors and my artwork reflects my experiences and love for the natural world. Art has been an integral part of my life as far back as I remember growing up in an artistic family. Outdoor recreation is another important aspect of my life, which has led to a lifetime of exploration, observations and appreciation of the natural world around us.
Although I have worked in a number of different mediums as an artist, I have been primarily working in pastels for the past 20 years. What I love about pastels is the sensitive and soft nature of the medium. Details are almost impossible to create, so impressions and moods are more appropriately expressed. I like my artwork to give a feel for the moment, rather than a photographic like representation.
My artwork includes scenes from all seasons. Images include scenes of landscapes, wildlife, waterscapes, and outdoor recreation.

Sheree Sonfield
I love to ski, cycle and travel. I thrive on learning languages, experiencing other cultures, time outdoors, memories. Photography keeps those memories alive. Color, light, and composition are essential.
If my image brings back a special memory or puts a smile inside your heart, I’ve accomplished my mission.
My work has been chosen to be shown in the National Wildlife Museum, Jackson, WY, the Rossland Mountain Film Festival and the local BC Arts and Culture Week artists’ project, Rossland, BC. I’ve participated in McCall events: Charlie’s Garden, Art in the Courtyard.

Gallery Fifty-Five (Hub): 311 E Lake St. McCall, ID 83638
As an Idaho native I truly appreciate the beautiful state we live in and I do take advantage of it. I have painted all my life.
The most satisfying part though is when someone love you art and takes it home.
You have been successful in your pursuit of doing what God does perfectly.
Connie McClaran
Gallery 55 (Hub) 311 E Lake St. McCall, ID 83638
Hi, I’m Connie McClaran
My work is an expression of the deep connection I feel with the natural world. When I’m on a photographic “walkabout”, I let the lines of separation from that Natural World to blur and blend into an immersion that becomes the images you’ll see at my booth.
Before I even begin to find a photograph, I wait for all of the sensory experiences of the place I’m in to come alive in their interwoven relationships with one another: the bird’s song, the stillness of the lake, the voice of wind in trees, the rush of the creek, the distant movement in the clouds. When they come together and I feel a part of it, I pick up my camera and get lost in the magic of bringing it into a photograph. Minor White, a famous father of photography, described this process:
“No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer it has chosen.”
I hope you’ll choose to come by and see for yourself!
Jane Cropp
13800 Raptor Loop, McCall, ID 83638
I have enjoyed drawing and painting for my entire life. I get inspiration from my many outdoor adventures and paint landscapes and animals in outdoor settings. The medium I use is acrylic paint and I infuse color to dramatize the scenes.
I am an active member of Gallery 55 in McCall, Idaho and have participated in many local outdoor fine art shows.
