The Artists
Jules Webster (Guren)
Gardens of Eden: Super Natural Landscapes
Julie (Jules) Webster is a landscape painter and educator whose vibrant garden-inspired works explore the interplay of light, color, and place. She is the founder of The Art Supply Depo and a co-founder of the Sylvania Plein Air Festival.
“My work presents impossibly perfect and super-natural gardens that aim to restore contemporary humanity’s awe and wonder of the natural spaces. In an era where most people spend most of their time indoors or in front of a screen, my work presents an alternate reality where flowers and foliage exist in perfect balance.”

Tim Myrick (Orientation Theater)
Immersed in Nature: A Celebration of Nature in Watercolor
Tim has known he was an artist since the age of eight. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art, he pursued a corporate career as a creative director for more than 25 years while continuing to paint and exhibit his work.
Following a period of serious illness, Tim received the lifesaving gift of a kidney transplant in 2022. The experience marked the beginning of a new chapter, allowing him to fully dedicate himself to his artistic practice. During his recovery, he found renewed joy in spending each day in the studio, and both his creativity and commitment to his work reached new heights.
“My goal is to create art that engages the viewer. Painting is my chosen form of storytelling. Watercolor is, for me, the perfect medium to interpret and portray the sights and mood that make the story of a particular scene so compelling.
I dedicate the majority of my time to my art, in addition to gardening, landscaping, and creating bonsai. My lifelong love of nature and my passion for gardening and landscaping inspire me to capture the warmth, complexity, and abstractions of nature through my watercolors.“

Jeff Suntala (Eppig)
Cleveland Plein AIr Watercolors: Paintings of the Cultural Gardens and University Circle
Jeff is a Greater Cleveland watercolorist and retired illustrator who found his way back to watercolor after a 45-year career in traditional and digital art. Today, he focuses primarily on en plein air painting.
“These paintings reflect my interest in the University Circle area and the Cleveland Cultural Gardens over the last several years. They were created en plein air (on site), in some cases with minor touchups in the studio afterward…Plein air watercolor painting is an exacting experience, with intense concentration required while dealing with varying conditions, both favorable and unfavorable. It’s a matter of painting with water as much as paint and the behavior of watercolor media varies greatly between hot and cold, dry and humid, sunny and cloudy conditions.“
