Artist: Valerie Galloway
Artist/photographer Valerie Galloway depicts the beauty and elegance  
of the feminine mystique in a collection of watercolors. Each piece  
offers a portrait of a woman in a saturated mood - whimsical, pouty,  
unapologetic, curious, stylish, mischievous, sexy. Some dare to  
portray the darker side of the feminine psyche. Drenched in rich  
colors like crimson, blood-orange and coral, the cosmopolitan women  
captivate you with their je ne sais quoi. These watercolors began as  
studies for Ms. Galloway's photography. Native to Arizona, Ms.  
Galloway has has returned to Tucson after 10 years in New York City.

Scotscraig: Studio and Gallery
Scotscraig is an exquisite 1925 Tudor Bungalow located in Greater  
Coronado. Built during the same era as the Arizona Biltmore,  
Scotscraig has been expertly designed by Thomas Carlyle of Blee  
Studio, professionally renovated and meticulously restored in 2006 to  
create a significant designer showcase home in the heart of the  
Central Phoenix. There are hundreds of details and items that were  
carefully considered for their connectedness to history and  
environment, value and comfort, period design and function. The  
exterior and interior are breathtaking, featuring custom plaster  
walls, picture rail throughout, landscaping with two fountains,  
chandeliers and upscale period furnishings.

Thomas Blee Carlyle, Blee Studio
Thomas Blee Carlyle has been professionally painting decorative and  
fine art since 1989. Born the son of an accomplished painter, Barbara  
Blee-Carlyle, he is well acquainted with his medium and its history.  
For six years Thomas painted in New York for both his own clientele  
and as one of two primary painting assistants at the Chuck Fischer  
Studio in Manhattan specializing in large scenic murals. His  
specialty is ‘painted canvas installations’, which he began  
studying while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  
Thomas enlarged his scope of painting styles from Cubist and Post- 
Modern to Baroque and Primitive American while attending the  
University of Arizona. Thomas established Blee Studio in the Phoenix  
Metro area in 2001 as an outlet for his varied expressions in art. He  
has worked on projects for some of the finest homes in America. With  
Blee Studio, Thomas offers hand-painted decorative and fine art,  
premium specialty wall finishes and antique fresco effects as
