Stan Welsh, Margitta Dietrick Welsh, and Erin Goodwin-Guerrero are multi-media artists who explore the role of water in our lives: its critical socio-political issues, and its effect on our psyche. They combine photographic processes; printmaking, drawing, painting and ceramic sculpture to express the passions and personal experiences that make water so compelling.
