| Eileen Eller |
A Denver native, Eileen received her B.A. in English from the University of Denver. She and a business partner opened the first primitive art gallery in the city in the late 1960’s. Artists as people have always captivated Eileen as much as the art they create. She was asked to help out at Pismo for three days - that was over sixteen years ago. Eileen relishes her time at Pismo - Denver, learning new things about each glass artist and his or her work, and sharing that knowledge with everyone from new collectors to those with established collections.

| Gary Raymond |
Gary has always been involved with art in one way or another. He started working at an art store many years ago selling materials to artists and students. The owner of the art store also owned an art gallery where he learned custom framing and where he first sold art, mostly two-dimensional. Later, Gary and his partner co-owned an American Craft Gallery for eight years. After selling the gallery they moved to Denver where Gary has worked at Pismo ever since. He finds glass fascinating - a medium that is constantly changing, a medium that is both ancient and very new.
