Montgomery Art Association has a diverse group of members from established well-known artists to new or emerging artists. We have monthly get-togethers, presentations, or workshops. Our MAA Art Gallery in Westfield Wheaton Mall has member shows that change every month. We also sponsor the Kensington Labor Day weekend art show "Paint the Town".

Photography comes from the Greek meaning "light writing"; photo = light, graphes = writing. I like to extend this meaning of light to also include it to mean elation, joy, and happiness. I hope my images rekindle a sense of lightness in people's hearts, to bring out our intrinsic nature.

Artist and Illustrator for Ellen S. Cromwell's children's book "Splash Puddle Splash". Desiree is a Silver Spring artist who works in Sennier oil pastels and Prismacolor colored pencils to create award winning art. She layers and blends the vibrant colors with her fingers and torillions on archival textured paper, board and canvas. Children, women of color, and the simple lives of ordinary people are her primary subjects, often with the theme of the innocence of childhood.

I like to think of myself as a jack-of-all-trades. I am a Studio Art major in college and do artwork in many styles including still life, abstract, landscape, portrait, and Japanese anime. I also dabble in crafts from jewelry to perler beads. Wherever my ideas go, I follow.

Howard Clark is an award-winning professional photographer with over 50 years of experience behind the lens. His prints fall into three basic categories - INTIMATE NATURE (animals, flowers, plants and trees), DESTINATIONS (architecture, icons, people, and travel), and A BROADER VIEW (abstracts, gardens, landscapes, and seascapes). Many images from Montgomery County and nearby areas are included.

The gallery represents the work of contemporary artists with a specialty in Test Based work. The work includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and installation.
