Cristie Baron
I am a teaching artist in Vacaville, CA. Sharing the world of arts with all ages is exciting and inspiring. I am dedicated to making art fun and doable for everyone. I believe there is value in the process of art and that all can learn through it no matter the final product. I own Joyful Art Studio, an art studio that provides classes in painting, mixed media and much more! With a growing team of artists, we have a mission of sharing our individual creative gifts with others to bring the JOY of art to our community.

Working with stark contrasting items and juxtapositions of elements and form, intrigues me. My art portrays life forces using juxtapositions of flora and fauna- many times fish representing the journey of life with strength & vegetable forms representing fertility and life.
I work with found art, assemblage, ceramic and bronze. Stark material contrast of metals with ceramic are seen in my current work. Although primarily working in sculpture -ideas are expressed in a variety of media from drawing and printmaking to painting. One will view a 3-d element in the paintings, paying attention to the 2-d surface elements in sculptures.
Social concepts and life forces are utilized in narrative approaches. Inspiration originates from everyday idioms and situations, dreams, mythology— used and created in a surrealistic manner. No matter the media—the message is delivered.
Nancy Donahue-Schuetz
As an artist hailing from Vacaville, California, my journey has been one of exploration, inspiration, and a deep love for the creative process. Having honed my skills at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, I specialize in a diverse range of subjects, from captivating portraits to the vibrant world of still life, and the enchanting beauty of animals. My studio in Vacaville serves as my sanctuary of whimsical creativity, where I craft pieces that seek to evoke emotion and give peace and tranquility to the viewer. Beyond my studio walls, I am dedicated to nurturing young artistic minds, volunteering at local schools to impart the joys of artistic expression to the next generation.

My artistic journey is driven by the deep desire to make a difference. I believe that art has the power to inspire, educate, and transform, and it is my mission to contribute to the positive social change that our world so desperately needs. Through my paintings, I hope to be a catalyst for empathy, understanding, and ultimately, a brighter future for all.
