BayWood Artists is a talented group of professional landscape painters who are dedicated to preserving the environment for future generations to enjoy. Through exhibits and painting sales these artists focus public attention on, and raise funds for, environmentally sensitive projects.

Marking their 10th year anniversary this year, BayWood Artists joins the Angel Island Association and will donate proceeds from their art sales of this show to assist the State Park on shoreline restoration and other environmental projects.

Centered in Marin County and encompassing the Bay Area at large, this thriving group, whose sole purpose is to protect and preserve the land they capture on canvas, is excited to be partnered with such a wonderful and important non-profit organization such as Angel Island Association. BayWood artists include Chris Adessa, Christin Coy, Ben Farnham, Jon Francis, Sherrill Miller, Zenaida Mott, Lissa Nicolaus and Thomas Soltesz.

Guest Artists for 2008 include Paul Kratter, Victoria Mimiaga and Davis Perkins.
