Robin Annlot
Robin Annlot studied art at SUNY Potsdam. She’s continued her creative pursuits through consistent practice, local exhibitions, and classes. Robin uses art to slow the pace of life through meditative focus
on her chosen subjects. She favors uncluttered compositions that convey harmony and a sense of calm.
The aim of her still life work is not photo-realism, but an honest rendering that elevates the beauty of commonplace objects. Robin resides in Penfield, NY and is a member of the Penfield Art Association.
Brenda Lyness
I create “objective” and “non-objective” contemporary art using bold color schemes and high-contrast compositions. I don’t enjoy planning for a piece. I love the happy accidents that occur as I push paint. Ever-changing, evolving, alive, dynamic! It’s finished when I see it, and when I feel it! I use mainly acrylics as my preferred medium to express, explore and experiment. I love layering paint to achieve the depth of color and texture that best describes my style.
Jan Romeiser
Jan took all the art classes in High School. She went to college, but not for art. Married at 21, worked, started a family at 27, did very little painting. After years of not picking up a paint brush, at age 50, her daughters bought her everything she needed to start painting again. Her husband encouraged her to paint and the love for oil painting was rekindled.
Jan has been painting for over 20 years. She prefers painting with oils, but has dabbled in water color and acrylics. Has taken classes and workshops with local artists like Pat Rini Rohrer, Judy Soprano, Steve BonDurant, Kevin Feary and Elaine Liberio.
Besides studio painting, Jan enjoys getting outside to paint "Plein Air" (but only if the weather is good. haha) and you may hear her singing as she paints.
Jan is a member of several Finger Lakes art groups
Yui Kinney
Born in Thailand and now painting between cultures, I create acrylic and watercolor paintings that connect the spiritual and natural worlds. I believe animals are more than subjects—they’re silent teachers, symbols of wisdom, protectors of forgotten forests, and voices of hope.
My art combines realism with a mystical touch: golden keys, floating crowns, moonlit symbols, and dramatic carry layered meaning in each piece. I’m inspired by ancient Thai legends like the Himmapan Forest, where mythical creatures journey toward enlightenment—a theme I’ve reimagined in my series Unlocking Himmapan. Other series like From Ashes to Hope reflect on animals affected by wildfires and climate change, offering a message of strength, healing, and renewal.
Through my art, I hope to create spaces where viewers can slow down, reconnect with nature, and feel a sense of wonder. Whether you’re an art lover, collector, or curious visitor—thank you for being here. Your support keeps this dream alive.
Ann Hallick
Most of my work life was in Human Resources, sales and customer services and personal coaching. Now, I'm retired and enjoying my retirement. My mother was an award winning watercolor and collage artist. An inspiration to me in so many ways; she had an incredible innate sense of design.
For years my creative outlet was only pottery. I do both hand building and work on potter's wheel. I love it, but shortly after I retired I saw an advertisement for a class in collage. Of course I thought of my mother and I attended the class. Well, I took to collage like, as they say, a "duck takes to water." I'm now loving being creative in watercolor/collage world.
My work is unique. OK, we artists may always say that...LOL. Sometimes I simply create collages with papers I collect but the "unique" part comes into play as I alter papers using a technique that changes the ink configuration. I start with papers and magazine pages and treat them with a nontoxic solvent that results in creating really cool colors and patterns. Then I "study" these pages and it feels like the piece reveals itself to me. I proceed from there. Sometimes I add watercolor to my collages and sometimes I simply collage. I'm having so much fun!
I'm a member of the Penfield Art Association and participate in several of their art shows a year. In 2024 I won Best in Collage/ Multimedia category. So far this year (2025), I've won 2 Jurors Awards. I'm also an active participant in the Perinton Recreation Art Group and have my art in their Art Show Sales events. Additionally I have a retail display at the Artisan Cove gift shop at 52 Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua, NY.

Peggi Heissenberger
I fell in love with the creating process in the art lab at Bishop Kearney High School where I spent most of my time there. I moved from Webster, NY to the Finger Lakes area in 2005 and discovered a very active art community. I have been able to take classes from local artists and craftspeople to expand my skills. Primarily I paint commissioned furniture and create acrylic paintings. Other mediums I work with include watercolors, wood, hand-thrown pottery, wool, jewelry and paper crafting.
The philosophy for my work is to lift the spirits of everyone who sees it. I look for the beauty in the world and try to throw a spotlight on it.
I sell and exhibit my paintings throughout the Finger Lakes area in many public buildings with the Ontario County Arts Council. My furniture, pottery, paintings and crafts are also sold in local shops listed under locations.
I teach classes locally and in my home. It is WONDERFUL in a class to see peoples faces full of joy at discovering and unraveling new capabilities in themselves. If you see something you would like to learn, email me at Peggi.arts@gmail.com.
I am overflowing with ideas and just wish I had the time to act on all of them. Take a look through my galleries and see what I mean.
