PENELOPE CARROLL, Artist / Penelope Carroll transplanted from Ellicott City Maryland to the Shenandoah Valley in 2004. She became enchanted by the incredible skies and mountain vistas which surround us here and began painting in oils in 2010. She then branched out into a variety of media, styles and techniques, giving her art an eclectic feeling. Penelope retired from Veterinary Medicine in 2016, ran a Café-Gallery in Edinburg for 7 years which she closed, February 2023. Penelope is returning to VECCA after a 6-year hiatus and is excited to once again be a member. ​
JESSICA DELLINGER, ​Artist / Jessica L. Dellinger was born in Roanoke, Virginia.  She was welcomed into the Dellinger family off Red Banks Road in Mount Jackson, Virginia by the age of 3.  She has always been artistic and musical!  Beginning with piano, then dabbling in the school band and finding her 'fingers' on the Viola and eventually the Violin.  She graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School (now Mountain View High School) and attended James Madison University.  She earned her degree in Music Business & Violin becoming the Concertmaster (first chair Violin) of the JMU Orchestra for her Senior Year.  Throughout her life she continually found peace in art as well as the process of creating.  Watercolor, acrylic, woodworking, gardening, repurposing of antiquities, sculpture, pottery, photography, and macrame, just to name a few!  She is eager to work with the community to collaborate and curate art that is meaningful, significant and dynamic! 
ANN HEAP, Fabric Artist, Photographer, Writer / Ann Heap was born and raised in Washington, DC. She lived in Pittsburgh after graduation from Pitt in 1965 and later in northern New Jersey near Lake Hopatcong. She came to Fort Valley in 1986 and now lives with her dog Buddy in Mine Mountain, offering her work under the business name of Mountain Ridge Creations. Ann draws inspiration from the year-round beauty, as well as the culture of caring, that is so much a part of her beloved Fort Valley and the greater Shenandoah Valley. She is retired from Warren County Public Schools where she taught English, Journalism, and Photography.
SARAH KOHRS, Potter, Photographer, Poet / Sarah E N Kohrs is an artist and writer, with over 125 journal publications, including poetry most recently published in Arboreal Literary Journal, Culinary Origami Journal, and Kitchen Quarterly Review; photography, in The Nassau Review, Paper Dragon, and Progenitor Art & Literary Journal. She is the 2022 Kingdoms in the Wild Poetry Award winner for her chapbook, Chameleon Sky, which was published in February 2023.

KEVIN SEABROOKE, ​Artist / Kevin Seabrooke is a self-taught artist living in Front Royal, Va.  Here shares: “I can't remember a time when I haven't mentally framed the world around me as a photo or a drawing and, much later, a painting. I'm always looking for patterns and shapes, sometimes becoming intoxicated by the light. Much of my work, including some in this show, comes from frenzied moments of pulling over on rural roads and running to capture views I have to paint.”
BILLY SMELSER, Artist / Billy began painting in 2019 and is mostly self-taught. He loves trying new mediums and combining these mediums with different techniques. He enjoys watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, jewelry making and other crafts. He draws inspiration from nature, beauty and emotions. He plans and sketches a work that is more realistic opposed to just diving in on abstract works and seeing where it leads him. He has had his work displayed at the VECCA gallery, The Barns at Rose Hill in Berryville, VA, Muse Winery and The Halls at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. He has also displayed with Shenarts Artscape13 and currently with the Woodstock banner project. He has three daughters and two grandchildren. He is originally from Wytheville, VA and currently lives with his partner Clay in Strasburg, VA. 
STEVIE WATKINS, Artist / Stevie has been painting since she could hold a paintbrush but has been a professional artist since 2014. Stevie spent many years training under award winning mentor, Kat Turner.  Her passion is bringing watercolor and acrylic together to make abstract art that resembles the natural beauty of the world. Her style is distinctive in her ability to capture, with shape, line, and color, the ineffable attributes of emotion.
