Pati Trippel and Pat Langewis are the featured artists for the month of June.

Trippel is an "award-winning artist," accomplished in a variety of mediums -- watercolor, acrylics, pastels, acrylic dyed tissue collage, art quilting, polymer clay and colored pencil, the release said.

"Raised in Southern California, with access to the ocean, mountains and desert, she loves 'being immersed in the beauty and tranquillity of the natural world.' Her paintings express the joy, wonder, splendor and peace of nature's inspiration," the release said.
