“I make the city quiet.”
Tim Saternow is an American painter whose watercolor paintings explore the lost and forgotten areas on the edges of the urban scene. His work encompasses the old High Line train trestle above the gritty industrial streets of New York City, the empty homesteads of Joshua Tree, California, and the dignified and genial old houses of Provincetown, on Cape Cod.
Saternow, trained as a set and lighting designer in theater, and as an art director in film, has always used his design sensibilities to make paintings that tell stories of the people who live in these places.
He paints large architectural landscape watercolors with a thick use of watercolor paint, playing with the tension between the illusions of depth, carefully drawn linear perspective, and an obvious play on the surface of the paper through watermarks, paint runs, blooms and spatters. Saternow is particularly sensitive to the emotive power of light, especially the distinct light of fall and winter creating deep shadows while playing across the faces of the old brick townhouses in New York and the weathered clapboard of Cape Cod.
Tim Saternow was awarded the 2019 Fellowship with The Clark Hulings Fund, and is currently an Executive Fellow in the Clark Hulings Fund’s Art-Business Accelerator Program.

Whether painting landscapes, interiors or figures, Wagner’s focus is always the
“light” and how it affects the subject she’s trying to capture. An avid plein air artist, she
is inspired by the American landscape and that of her beloved Italy. Participating in
national plein air festivals, she travels the country to paint the uniqueness of each
region. She spends cold Michigan winters creating larger studio pieces, but still
chasing the light.
Jill’s artwork has been exhibited in solo and group exhibits throughout the U.S.
and is in many corporate and private collections. Her paintings have won multiple
regional and national awards.
One of Wagner’s pastel paintings graced the cover of Plein Air Magazine and her
work is often featured in their pages. Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine highlighted her
work, as has Pastel Journal. Wagner served as Pastel Faculty at the Plein Air
Convention for 5 years and loves teaching her own workshops. She’ll be faculty at
Pastel Live again in 2023 and has two pastel videos available from Streamline
Publishing.
Jill has been designated a Master Pastelist by Pastel Society of America and
Master Circle in International Association of Pastel Societies, as well as belonging to
American Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America, Great Lakes Pastel Society,
Degas Pastel Society and American Women Artists. Her work is represented by three
fine art galleries in the Midwest.
After receiving a B.F.A. from The University of Michigan School of Art, Jill
owned an award-winning advertising firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, before “seeing the
light” and becoming a full-time artist.

Kenneth Yarus was raised in Kalispell Montana, not far from Glacier National Park. The landscape inspired him, along with many artists who encouraged his passion. Using the John and Anne Taylor Scholarship he was able to pursue an Academic Education at the Ashland Academy of Art and Grand Central Academy of Art. New York City taught many lessons, and a longing for the wilderness was one. Ken returned to the mountains of Montana to paint plein air and large landscapes, aiming to capture the immensity and value of the mountains.
“My personal love for nature and adventure inspires my art. I strive to communicate an emotional value about my subjects by exploring the nuances of colors and textures that make them unique. Balancing the realistic representation and the deeper emotional value is a constant struggle that will always motivate my work.”
