I studied metals and jewelry as an undergrad and received my BFA from James Madison University. After college, I pursued a career in river guiding, ski instructing, and hospitality for many years. This time taught me the importance of pursuing my passions and I decided to get back to my artistic roots. I enjoy working with vibrant stones and seaglass, while keeping my designs simple and focusing on exceptional craftsmanship.

Debbie Wood
Hummingbird Studio
14120 Hwy. 55, McCall, ID 83638
My approach to painting, cold wax oil and mixed media is most often intuitive. Ideas or a vision will appear to me in my dreams or through experiences in my McCall life, I respond with my emotions on my brush on a canvas. Nature lives in my soul and through my work. The composition is often developed over time, I love how light plays on color and how harmonious colors captures the viewer’s interest.
My art journey began 20 years ago at Silvermine Art School in New Canaan Ct. Where I learned drawing and painting in all mediums and styles. I continue with my education in travel workshops throughout Mexico. Santa Fe and Wisconsin. McCall is my home for the last 8 years returning back to Idaho after 30 years of living across the United States and in Australia.

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.

GoldFork Galleria
1002 S. Mission St. McCall, ID 83638
With a deep love of color and detail combined with an organic medium possessing a “mind of its own,” Jan’s felted art paintings achieve a beautiful balance between realism and surrealism. Her subjects are varied, ranging from animals and landscapes to Native American culture. Wet/dry needle felting techniques using wool/silk/bamboo fibers, beads, feathers…well, just about anything to achieve the desired results!…are incorporated in her pictures. Also available are felted “soft pots,” flowers, scarves, and gloves (because winter is coming, my friend). Stop on by!

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.

Sharon Herther
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!
