Margaret Salisbury developed a love for painting landscapes after a plein air workshop in Italy. She continued to evolve her techniques by learning from her mentor, who profoundly said, “The world is your vehicle for color.” A statement that stuck with Margaret throughout her career. By combining all of her inspirations Margaret captures​ the beauty of the areas she avidly hikes and uses her favorite colors to paint the world through her own eyes. She leans into her favorite oranges, yellows, and greens to represent The Appalachian Mountains with a bright and technicolor perspective.

Scott Boyle is a well-traveled man. As a pilot he has seen much of the world, yet chooses to hike and paint the wonders of the North Carolina mountains. He explores and paints the rich green foliage, the crystal clear waterfalls, and vast balds of The Appalachian Mountains to The Great Smokies and beyond. Scott is particular about his painting style though. He does not represent things exactly as they are, but enhances them. Using a heavy application of paint in some areas, an emphasis on light and atmosphere, and a vivid color palette, Scott captures the feeling of the place itself.
