One of our group achievements is the artist collaborative.

These are formed by a week of art classes and caving experience.

This year we started with a class in understanding texture building and use to see how ideas are born.

We finished the week with two days creating a united canvas as an area of planning development using techniques learned by practicing team-manship and collaboration.

REPTILE ART
Not limited to just caves and rock art, but a creator of masterpieces. See the latest limited edition prints by artist and illustrator, John N. Agnew, plus original paintings available for sale, a portfolio of past works, murals, an exhibit schedule, information about ordering prints and paintings, and everything you ever wanted to know (and probably more) about the artist. In SpeleoArt's opinion he is the best 'true to nature' artist we've ever seen! http://www.angelfire.com/id/wildscenes/index.html

KVART
Glenn Mills' site is dedicated to cave art (and animated bats). The featured cave artists have graciously donated their art for viewing there. KVART is recommended for viewing in total darkness!
