Kathleen Casteel has been painting the Walla Walla Valley and surrounding landscape for over two decades. Her paintings of water, landforms, mountains, cultivated fields and remote areas, depict the widely varied and diverse regions of the Pacific Northwest. Casteel’s paintings are known for their dynamic use of light and dark, skillful handling of color, and varied brushstroke. Her work can be found in the collections of Pierce County, Port of Tacoma, Threshold Group, and many private collections. “Through my art, I hope to empower others to protect the nature we rely on for food, fresh water, and our livelihoods.”

Formally educated as a biologist at Whitman College, and later as a geologist at the University of Washington, Bill Roger’s career afforded him the opportunity to extensively explore much of the North American landscape for over 50 years – a camera always close to hand. After retiring in 2012, Bill began to dedicate himself to his true love, landscape photography, on a full-time basis. Bill’s works have been featured at the Utah Museum of Natural History, Washington State Magazine, and many Blue Mountain Land Trust publications including the organization’s first published collection of photographs, The Blues, Volume 1, which he co-edited.
