Jeff Allen is founder of the Plein Air Painters of Iowa. The group comes together once a week near picturesque locations in Iowa to paint the great outdoors.

His work has been described as pastoral with a dream-like ethereal quality. He currently resides in Solon, IA.
Pat Bereskin is an art instructor and owner of Beréskin Fine Art Gallery and Studio and Mrs. B.'s Art. Pat's first oil painting was a cityscape. She remembers that it took a long time to complete, but the process taught her many fundamentals of the art process. Her new "City Lights" series gives unique views of the architecture of favored cities in the US and abroad including New York, Chicago, Paris and the Quad Cities. "Cityscapes were the subject of my first oil paintings back in high school with Don Poston at Bettendorf High School," said Pat. "I wanted to return to my roots and paint all of my favorite cities. It has been a joyfilled challenge."
