Delma Soult is an artist, and accountant at Pie Ranch an educational farm up the coast. Delma lives in La Honda, CA and her art reflects the whirls and turns of her surroundings: paths of redwoods, amongst oak chaparral and a jutting coastline. Not to mention the warm and wet winds that wind it all together.

Denise Chasin “When growing up I had two favorite activities; playing in the woods and drawing. As I grew up I wanted to illustrate children's books and draw but life got in the way. Other peoples ideas became larger than my own and I played it safe and left my drawing behind. No regrets on that front as I found an abundant world full of family, friends, nature and many animals. Now having moved to the west coast and settling into California I cannot believe the abundance and diversity of flowers and plants. The bursts of color and pattern and their infinite grace brighten my world daily. I spend a lot of time in nature and finally am free to draw again.

E.Coletta, bird biologist, struck with check-out aisle promises of the surprising health benefits of regular foods, resolves to eat cherries. Similar resolve has not proven effective in the ways of love. While helpful in warfare, resolve and efficacy are conspicuously truant in cherry pies, as they are in dancing cheek to cheek.

Emma Wheeler (Alder) enjoys talking endlessly about the vague term ‘pockets of resistance,’ tending relationships, tending the land, checking out flowers’ sexy bits under hand lenses, and making music with pals by candlelight. Alder can usually be found giving or receiving IT band massages, amateurly blading out feelings at the roller rink, or eating takis on long drives until stomach linings start to burn.

Ethan Pezzolo ‘​​​​Hai, my name is Ethan Pezzolo. I am a little seed with a cracked husk, a south swell and a northern gust. I am a recent UCSC grad who is trying really hard to keep going. The Spring time is muddy and the Summer is crisp, I'm ready to uncover what the blistering heat will reveal.’
Grace Williams would rather be swimming in a pool. So she's going to do that instead of writing a bio, and then possibly she will also make herself a tuna sandwich.
