I have been a professional tattoo artist for the past 11 years and these paintings are my tribute to my childhood heroes.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Ice Cave - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I gather experience, play with proportion and paint with texture. I have several areas of emphasis, Climate Awareness, Women’s Concerns and Urban Landscapes. I continue to point out the enlarging threats of rising temperatures, melting ice and flaming forests that all weave their way into my work. My theme Les Femmes Mondiales —Women of the world and from a variety of cultures and colors. I point out the difference and the similarity of all women. The climate of urban areas is also a changing one. Cities are growing yet decaying culture. Income Disparity particularly in our affluent country has become a way of life. I do seek to include some of the lasting beauty in our cities. As an artist I feel an obligation to present my interpretation of the ongoing climate catastrophe and the crisis status of women and urban settlements. What can we as caring beings do to improve these conditions?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I work mainly in gouache and oil paint, and my subject matter consists of interior spaces and landscapes. I feel that individual spaces have a unique voice, and I cannot help but listen to them when they demand that I paint them. I engage in multiple drawing sessions, absorbing the essence of the spaces. I become engrossed in the forms and shapes that the colors take rather than just direct observation. Memory abstracts the scene, and I am left with a fusion of direct observation and an emotional interpretation. Light is a huge focus in my work. I depict light as an expressive force interacting within the space. These scenes have a pressurized feel to them because of light being restricted within one space. In my paintings I portray the aura of the spaces that hold my attention. Through composition and color relationships, I am able to convey the observational and emotional essence of these scenes.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m Tatyana Overton, a 17-year-old artist from Cedar Hill, Texas, with a deep passion for creating art that explores complex emotions and relationships. My submission, “Suffering,” is a digital piece made in Procreate that captures the intensity of two people so entwined with each other that they’re unaware of the pain it causes. I aimed to convey both the beauty and tension of a relationship where boundaries blur, exploring how love and attachment can unintentionally lead to harm. Through detailed expressions and body language, I wanted to reflect the closeness and underlying strain that can exist in relationships, inviting viewers to reflect on these complex emotional layers.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My current artwork explores and interrogates nostalgia, memory, and repetitive thought through reiteration of high saturation colors and allusion to space. My figurative oil paintings start with underpaintings that are alive, mimicking moments of fluorescence in nature. My process begins with this luminance which I then cover up, layer by layer. It explores the process of thought, constantly adding, layering, and revisiting memories. Through the lens of self-portraiture, the works explore the complexity of emotion that come with unrelenting changes of life. Lost in thought or movement, unaware of the surrounding real world, face and body still as the rhythm of the world moves around them. Surroundings fade into a void-like space. You get lost in the intense yellow glow, the warmth contrasting the coldness of such loneliness. Flowers leap from the sheets, creeping Viridian vines ascend the walls, and pastel brushstrokes swirl around the solitary still form.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - The Beholder - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“‘The Beholder’ Oil on Canvas, 24x18 inches, 2024 This painting explores light and emotion through the subject's upward gaze, captured in a moment of introspection and discovery as they look toward an unseen source of light. The figure is both literally and figuratively illuminated, depicted in a state of enlightenment. The subject’s parted lips and upward gaze convey vulnerability and openness. The skin, achieved with finger painting, emphasizes a tactile relationship between the artists and the artwork. The oil paint gives the subject a luminous almost ethereal quality. This glow contrasts against the flat acrylic background, forefronting the emotional and visual depth of the figure. The stark, minimalist background focuses attention on the subject, emphasizing the inward journey of transformation. This painting invites viewers to reflect on internal transformation, posing questions about art’s role in uncovering the light within: How can art illuminate darkness? And where do we, as individuals, find this light?”</image:caption>

Creating works of art that focus on common human interactions that tie us together has been my dominant subject matter. My paintings and drawings have an expressive figurative focus, capturing a gestural, symbolic “meaning of the moment”. The figures in my work are often portrayed in a decisive, emotional minute that will have lasting impact on the human condition.”</image:caption>

Syria welcomes all religions with the majority being Islam, and since gambling is frowned upon in Islam the game is usually played without any sort of incentive or money.

I put down pieces of each, some representing letters of my Arabic name, some of Islamic geometric design, and some being a symbol of Islam as a whole. The colors I chose here also represent the main color theme that is shared throughout my pieces like green and red. These two colors are shared between the Middle Eastern countries’ flags, specifically the two countries I am from, UAE and Syria.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a painter and visual artist, my practice centers on large-scale works on linen, most often in the format of large cascading drapery, merging themes of collaborative creation with deeply personal explorations that uses fictitious, surreal and imaginative compositions to experience a nuanced interplay of the familiar and the unsettling. Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of my artistic journey, with much of my work rooted in socially engaged projects. Through social projects, therapeutic art workshops and art production I cooperate with participants from diverse communities such as Parkinson's, autism, homeless and school dropout. I aim to create shared artisti experiences that deepen the relationship between art and social engagement, materializing in collaborative works and exhibitions, fostering inclusivity through art, relating the figures of users to that of the artist and to the concept of artistic production. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia (2017) and a Master of Arts in Visual Cultures from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan (2024). My work has been featured in several exhibitions, such as 'Secondo Open Studio' (2021) and 'Miniciccioli' (2022) at La Caienna, and 'Open Studio' (2023) and 'Chorus' (2023) at the Chiostri di San Lorenzo in Vicenza. I also curated the outsider art exhibition "Revolver" at DoRobe, showcasing the work of Lorenzo, an artist with autism. Social engagement and artistic innovation form the core of my practice, positioning me as a dynamic figure within the contemporary art world and the evolving realm of therapeutic art.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - ‘Evicted’ Series - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My artistic agenda considers alternative photography’s democratic potential—I seek society’s discarded bits, the castoff trash of restless purchasing power. Artists regularly claim technologies that are no longer commercially viable, but I also focus attention to discarded cultural elements and intentionally disregarded individuals. These themed photographic series convey narratives of the vernacular of Baltimore’s street life, and especially the streets most people actively avoid and pretend do not exist. These images were shot with Holgas, Dianas, and DIY plastic toy cameras. Evicted is an ongoing photo essay paralleling abandoned homes and homelessness in Baltimore translated through the lenses of unpretentious, cheap plastic cameras.“</image:caption>

It's about feeling the weight of that wrongness, recognizing our smallness in the face of it, yet burning with the need to resist. It captures the quiet, often unseen moments of helplessness.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I'm a contemporary portrait artist who works with oil paint in the classical tradition. My main goal is to capture the true essence of my subjects by revealing their vulnerable selves, free from any masks. My style focuses on precise technique and careful observation. I want my art to make people think about the deeper meanings and connections in everyday human interactions, encouraging empathy and reflection in the midst of life's chaos. I believe that art has the power to connect people and evoke strong emotions, inspiring action and devotion.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Veiled Gaze - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“"I am a 27-year-old artist who moved to the U.S. when I was 10 years old. From an early age, I was immersed in art, constantly drawing and painting my way through countless sketchbooks. Specializing in portrait and figurative paintings of women, my work captures emotion with a distinct focus on the eyes and hands. I deliberately portray women from a female perspective, aiming to break away from the historical lens of male artists. I believe that the gestures of the hands are just as expressive and revealing as the eyes. While oil paint remains my primary medium, I also enjoy experimenting with mosaics, glass, and acrylics, continually pushing my creative boundaries. Within the last year, I’ve also worked on five large-scale murals for Mural Arts of Philadelphia, including ""The Mother."" Recently, I’ve been working on a series of bodyscapes and sensual paintings of women under fabrics, inspired by some photos a photographer friend took of me years ago. Transparent fabrics draped over the female form can evoke a sense of vulnerability, delicacy, and intimacy. They hint at the layers of complexity within femininity, revealing without fully exposing. The way light and shadow play through the sheer material captures both strength and softness, symbolizing different aspects of femininity. All the paintings in this series were done in oil on canvas, and each piece is over 4 feet in size."“</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My current artwork explores and interrogates nostalgia, memory, and repetitive thought through reiteration of high saturation colors and allusion to space. My figurative oil paintings start with underpaintings that are alive, mimicking moments of fluorescence in nature. My process begins with this luminance which I then cover up, layer by layer. It explores the process of thought, constantly adding, layering, and revisiting memories. Through the lens of self-portraiture, the works explore the complexity of emotion that come with unrelenting changes of life. Lost in thought or movement, unaware of the surrounding real world, face and body still as the rhythm of the world moves around them. Surroundings fade into a void-like space. You get lost in the intense yellow glow, the warmth contrasting the coldness of such loneliness. Flowers leap from the sheets, creeping Viridian vines ascend the walls, and pastel brushstrokes swirl around the solitary still form.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My name is Conrad Valone. I am a twenty-six year old conceptual fine art photographer that grew up in the American south. I tend to roam though; I have never felt tied to a specific place. This group of photographs is about the enigma of being know. One never truly knows what space they take up in the minds of others or how they fade in memories if remembered at all. There is a pain of existing and attempting to be familiar and understood. Connections are ephemeral, but forgetting is permanent.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Currently, I express myself through 2D digital animation, painting, and photography, all of which evolved from my early passion for illustration and comics. While my arsenal of media is wide, they typically bleed into one another through interdisciplinary opportunities of mix-media. My artistic methods have given me the power to explore my identity with full authenticity. The stories I tell pay homage to my past; my work includes religious imagery contrasted by queer themes of androgyny and flamboyancy.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This series is titled ‘Art as a Collaborator of the Environment: The Landscape and Its Symbols and the Theoretical-Visual Mapping as a Tool for Exchanging Knowledge about Ecosystem Transformations.’ This piece examines my artistic and pedagogical practices that intertwine multiple media, including painting, ceramics, photography, and installation art, to explore the complex relationships between environmental and social issues. The article delves into the concept of the landscape as an evolving, symbolic entity that communicates ecological transformation. Through visual storytelling and community-based methodologies, I document and interpret symbols within natural environments—such as bioindicators like lilies in polluted rivers—as a way to reveal deeper ecological narratives. My work focuses on a "sacrifice zones" in Mexico, impacted by industrialization, areas where the lives of both human and non-human inhabitants are at risk. By engaging in interdisciplinary research and dialogic knowledge exchange, I aim to foster awareness and collective action toward more sustainable interactions with our ecosystems.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Flame Touched; Trapped In - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“‘Flame Touched’ is a 70 x 50 cm oil painting on canvas. This artwork explores the deep emotional bond between two figures, connected through their vibrant red hair that resembles a glowing flame. Their intertwined forms and intense gazes symbolize themes of unity, shared experiences, and emotional connection. The lush, organic background with curving shapes suggests the influence of nature on human relationships, adding depth to the story. The use of oil paint brings richness and texture to the piece, enhancing the luminous quality of the fiery reds and soft greens. These colors create a striking contrast, capturing the viewer’s attention while evoking a sense of warmth and intimacy. ‘Flame Touched’ is an invitation to reflect on the profound connections we share with others and the emotions that bind us together, much like flames intertwining and growing stronger.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Flame Touched; Trapped In - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I’m Mari Abramishvili, a Georgian artist who works with oil, acrylics, and mixed media. My art is all about emotions and how colors can tell stories that go deeper than what we see. I love exploring themes like femininity, nature, and self-discovery, aiming to create pieces that make people pause and feel something real. The artwork I’m submitting is called "Trapped In" and is a 25 x 35 cm oil painting on canvas. This piece is about the emotions we feel when we’re stuck—whether it’s in our own thoughts, situations, or relationships. The Venus flytraps symbolize both protection and confinement, reflecting that complicated feeling of being safe yet held back at the same time. I used oil paints to create this work because they allow for rich, vibrant colors and smooth blending, which helped bring out the contrast between the softness of the figure and the sharp edges of the plants. The interplay of these elements tells a story of vulnerability and strength, inviting viewers to think about their own experiences of feeling "trapped in" and how they’ve navigated those moments.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This is a painting I started based on my memories from when I was younger. Since I have been getting older I realize that I do not really remember much of my childhood. If I do remember, I usually remember things that weren’t so good. I like to pick pictures to paint that have good memories behind them. As I grow my little memory of the good times will fade, too, so I paint to remember them again. When I paint I feel like I remember more. It is not the same as looking at a picture, it feels like I am recreating that memory on the canvas. I think that is the main thing I love about art, I can paint, draw, etc. and it feels like I am getting old memories to last longer. This acrylic painting is of me and my cousins when we were younger. It is a photo my mom took of us eating all together African style.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Hikari no kizu - light through scars - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hikari No Kizu, meaning “light through scars” in Japanese, is a photography series that celebrates the resilience of the human body. Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, this series aims to reframe the way we perceive scars – not as imperfections, but as testaments to strength and healing. Through studio portraits, each subject is bathed in an enveloping light, creating a safe and empowering space for them to connect with their personal story. The scars, symbolically covered in gold leaf, become luminous elements, highlighting each individual's uniqueness and journey. Hikari No Kizu explores the transformative power of photography, offering participants a new perspective on themselves and fostering self-acceptance. The project also includes written testimonials, adding depth and perspective to the visual narratives. Together, the images and words aim to spark conversation and inspire empathy, encouraging a broader dialogue about beauty in imperfection. Brief Description of Work Hikari No Kizu is a series of dramatically and movingly lit studio portraits featuring individuals with their scars gilded. The images celebrate the resilience and unique beauty found in the marks life leaves on our bodies.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - One on a Way - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“As an artist, I believe that the power of art lies in its ability to connect with people on an emotional level. My art is a reflection of my own emotional journey. One of the most important aspects of my art is my commitment to honesty. I create works that are deeply personal and emotional. My art is filled with intimate moments and intense colors that are meant to evoke a strong emotional response from the viewer. I strive to create pieces that are raw and unapologetic in their expression. I believe that art should never shy away from the difficult and often uncomfortable truths of life, and my works are unflinching in their exploration of the human soul. I am not afraid to depict the raw and intimate aspects of life, and I believe that this honesty is what draws people to my work. Bold shapes and soulful characters are at the heart of my artistic vision. My characters are deeply introspective, always looking inward to explore the complexities of their own emotions and experiences. Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to encourage viewers to take a moment to look inside themselves and connect with their own emotions. My soulful characters are meant to be a reflection of the viewer's own experiences, and I hope that my art inspires others to embrace their own authenticity and emotional depth. Every color, shape, and item in my art is carefully chosen for its symbolic meaning. I never put a dot on a paper without first analyzing what it means and how it contributes to the overall narrative of the piece. Even the smallest details are infused with symbolism and metaphor. My medium of choice is pastels and watercolors, which I use to create works with a little bit of texture and brief lines. I find that pastels and watercolor combination allow me to create works that are both soft and intense, capturing the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength that defines the human experience. At the heart of my artistic vision is a commitment to authenticity. My artworks are created on paper and are intentionally small, ranging from A5 to A1 sizes. I prefer working on a smaller scale because it creates an intimate experience for the viewer. I believe that artwork carrying deep emotions and significant life moments should be expressed in a delicate, personal way. Smaller pieces invite the viewer to engage with the work privately, allowing a more personal connection. In contrast, larger works can be viewed by multiple people at once, which can dilute this intimacy. That's why I choose to create on smaller paper, with A1 being the largest size I work with. Through my art, I hope to connect with people on a deep and emotional level, to inspire introspection and encourage viewers to engage with their own emotions and inner worlds. I believe that art has the power to heal, to inspire, and to connect, and I am committed to creating works that embody these ideals. Ultimately, my artistic vision is guided by a deep sense of purpose and passion. Through my works, I hope to create a legacy that reflects the power and beauty of the human experience.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - After II - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I focus primarily on the human figure depicted in environments that create a context for psychologically charged open ended narratives. Many of these narratives explore ideas about power and vulnerability, about enchantment and play. Children are often featured because children often play. Quality of light is a common theme. In particular, the way in which atmospheric light and locale can suggest a sense of mystery and silence. These works are dark, humid and hopefully, at their best, memorable. For me, the most successful are those that evoke the feeling that an event is about to happen or has recently happened. Images of figures or figures in landscapes, in groups or in isolation, share a common feeling of significance. Wholly absorbed within themselves or the dialogue shared between one another, they wait for the unfolding of their private story.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Charusheela - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a self-taught artist &amp; an Engineer based in California, USA. Sneha Gindodiya creates a striking contrast in talents that harmonize splendidly. Indeed, these two realms not only coexist but also enhance each other, forming a cohesive and enriching creative synergy. Her portfolio not only celebrates the beauty of world cultures, femininity, textiles, jewelry, and motifs from a bygone era but also shines a spotlight on the intricate beautiful details that often go unnoticed. Sneha's discernible style brings even the simplest matters into sharp focus, all the while emphasizing the profound beauty of being a Woman. Through her lens, she invites viewers to appreciate the artistry of both the seen and the unseen, proving that there's beauty in the everyday. With meticulous attention to detail, each stroke in her work reflects a deep reverence for tradition, weaving a tapestry of cultural richness and artistic brilliance. The use of fine detailing, ornamentation, schlagmetal &amp; vibrant colors shows how deeply she has studied Mughal paintings and also her remarkable inventiveness in using them to create a unique, easily recognizable personal style. Artist Statement: I have always been captivated by the beauty in the surrounding world. Being always the quiet and aloof one, I have been a keen observer of the beauty around me, and wondering how people experience and perceive beauty surrounding them. We progress through life acquiring a rich patina of individualized experiences &amp; perceptions. But what does this beauty mean? Is each of ours' understanding of beauty different from mine? To what extent are people oblivious to the beauty around them? Mohini Artwork: For this artwork, I have reimagined a modern-day Mohini dressed in a silk dhoti with gold work, layered with a delicate red saree on top! She is embellished with beautiful gold jewelry and traditional red bangles. In my portrayal, she stands amidst her world, where has just played with the red holi color, her soul serene. Lost in her world, she has let go of all her inhibitions and is in a pure bliss state. Charusheela Artwork: 'Charusheela' captures the unadulterated essence of a woman lost in her world. I have dived deep into the complexities of womanhood, presenting a woman who is not posed or staged but rather depicted in her natural state. Societal expectations or conventions do not confine her; instead, she exists authentically, embracing her vulnerabilities and strengths without inhibition. The central image radiates beauty and elegance, a fearless presence, and an aura of resilience. Exuberant Artwork: This artwork is different from my usual style of detailing, this is where I let go of all my expectations and inhibition and went to play with colors. The final artwork makes a vibrant display of excitement, fun, and child inside all of us.</image:caption>

My creative sensibilities and stimuli are owed in part to growing up in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by the fresh and salt waters, majestic mountains and old growth forests, in addition to the years spent in the Bay area. My artwork has always focused on the balance of opposites and patterning to order our complicated world, revealing humans’ desire to connect to nature and each other, even in a time when it feels difficult to be part of the whole.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I began working with wool in 2005 to create sculptured textiles and wearable art. I turned to wool because of its color, warmth, and sociability after a long period of working with mild steel. I discovered that wool, with its pliability and saturated palette, is similar to other fine art mediums like paint and clay. I enjoy exploring wool and other fibers as a fine art medium and felting techniques in particular which involve wool's natural ability to matte together or to be enmeshed using barbed needles to create dense materials. Wool has an ancient history that has only recently been rediscovered; I try to engage with it and to fully explore its artistic implications.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Ethereal Embrace - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“The medium I preferred for this piece was mixed media, ink, and acrylics on canvas. I used gestural, sweeping gestures, stippling, dabbing, and a washing technique while layering lighter colors over the more vibrant free-form and stippled acrylic on the canvas. My abstract paintings explore the tension between chaos and harmony, inviting viewers to engage with the depth of human emotion and experience. Each piece serves as a visual narrative, challenging conventional perceptions of beauty and evoking a sense of wonder. By utilizing bold colors and dynamic shapes, I aim to evoke emotional responses, prompting contemplation about the complexities of existence. The key themes in my work revolve around fragmentation and reconstruction, mirroring my journey through life's uncertainties. Each stroke represents a moment, an experience, or an emotion, layered together to create a cohesive whole. The interplay of light and shadow within the compositions signifies the duality of human nature, illustrating how beauty often arises from turmoil. On a deeply personal level, my art reflects my inner landscape. It embodies my struggles, dreams, and reflections on identity and resilience. The process of creation itself is therapeutic, serving as a conduit for my unexpressed feelings and thoughts. I view my artwork as a dialogue with the viewer, inviting them to interpret, reflect, and connect with their experiences. Ultimately, my art aims to inspire introspection and connection. I want to challenge viewers to embrace their vulnerabilities and recognize the beauty that can arise from their own experiences. Each piece is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure, transform, and derive meaning from moments of chaos, embodying a profound message of hope.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I create visual escapes using palette knives and oil paints on canvas. Dynamic texture and vivid color amplify depth and draw the observer into the painted space. My art is described as simultaneously vibrant and peaceful, qualities derived from my deep faith in God and my battle with leukemia as a teenager. This taught me to see the beauty in life regardless of circumstances. Inspired by nature, I believe the splendor around us is one of the most amazing ways God touches us with His presence. I have a deep interest in the connection between art and healing. A universal language, art reaches people across boundaries, offers alternative perspectives and inspiration, and provides a visual break from daily stressors. Art connects communities and promotes physical, emotional, and mental healing. Akin to my own experience with the healing nature of art, my work aims to provide a visual refuge where viewers are reminded of the joy, hope, and wonder around us.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My artwork serves as a reminder to cherish moments in one’s life that may be gone in an instant. Using oil paint and graphite in limited palettes, I capture these moments with varying intensity and focus. Much like how a memory fades and only captures important elements, my drawings and paintings use classical techniques to showcase the important details while leaving what is forgotten within negative spaces. I reflect upon and explore the complexities seen within the minute moments in our daily lives. By playing with figures and representational imagery, I create scenes of everyday life that offer time for introspection. I explore the duality present within life’s highs and lows. The calm moments which we forget to acknowledge as time rushes away from us, moments where we appreciate and show love for what makes our life well lived. In contrast to the grief and sadness that takes over and fills us completely until we are overflowing with emotions and forced to slow down and just be.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work honors the histories of trauma and resilient narratives of my close female relatives. Through material and psychological acts of construction and repair—stitching, collage, print and transfer, their stories materialize shared human experiences of loss and hope. Layers of painted paper reference both the body—specifically skin—as well as the formal language of painting. The layers accrue, constructing form, or are ripped away. In rebuilding the image, the painted paper functions as a poultice. Through acts of patching and decoupage, practices associated with woman’s domestic labor and craft, I pursue collage as a female act of repair and re-envisioning. I often use domestic textiles as substrates to explore the resistance inherent in making do, which connects to female traditions of labor and innovation. Each textile comes with a history. My alterations combine with the existing stains, tears, burns, and bleach marks to locate and magnify the narrative of my female protagonists”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Creating abstract art offers me a profound sense of freedom, liberating me from conventional constraints and allowing me to fully embrace my creativity. In my practice, I focus on conveying emotions of peace and tranquility, channeling these serene energies into each stroke and hue. My work is driven by the belief that art has the capacity to heal, to soothe, and to restore. Through abstraction, I explore the depth of human emotion and intuition, aiming to create spaces where viewers can connect to a sense of calm and restoration. This approach not only reflects my artistic vision but also underscores my message: art is a powerful conduit for healing and harmony.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Freedom Within - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I am a young artist from Turkey, where the really faced situation all around the violence against women and the femicides. These tragedies have engraved themselves in our society and have awaken in me a strength as an artist within my soul. From an artist’s point of view, I do understand as a form of creativity that has the mandate to cause change in ways that people has been doing things. This is my way to say I stand with and believe women who struggle for their liberation and protection on a daily basis. In this representation the wig that symbolizes freedom can be described as the fine line between freedom and bondage in this oil painting. The birdcage consequently represents societal structures and patriarchy especially in capturing refined elaborate features of the birdcage. Behind bars laying three peppy birds, poised in rhythm and trapped in a cage. Hence, the background color is as calm as more introspective thought yet plays with the juxtaposition of enclosures and the entire world outside. It was a reply to directions outlined in the project “How to let go”, exemplifying the determination when throwing the ropes off as well as the endeavor which is necessary to construct the world free from suppression of the majority by the minority. To me ‘letting go’ is synonymous with shedding inhibitions in the war against women, liberating women from structures that restrict them politically, and throwing off restraint to create a world characterized by liberty and power. This is my stand and my hope is that anyone who views the piece gets informed on the kind of injustice women endure in my country and the world over. The aim that I have set for myself is to create awareness, provoke people and raise voices for creation of awareness against gender violence. Since art is a language of its own it is my hope that this painting moves something inside the viewers to ponder on concerns of equity, strength and to join the battle for rights of women across the world. Mediums used in this painting: Oil Paint, Pastels, Charcoal.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>James Frew’s practice explores expanded painting and post-digital art production in the age of the Internet and social media. Specifically, how paint(ing), images, and language translate via traditional mediums and new media, through the process of using digital technologies. Thematically, his work nods to contemporary Internet culture and imagery, frequently employing irony, profanity, and transgressive humour. Formally his work attempts to reassess and rejuvenate the histories and languages of painting, expanding its territories by using analogue and digital technologies to blend medium (discrete, analogue objects) and media (networked, digital information). His recent work explores post-digital art practices through the creation of what he calls ‘digipaintages’ – hybrids of digital paintings and photomontages manifest as both digitally circulated images and physical textile printed paintings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My name is Netta and I’m a mouth painter overcoming paralysis with my artistic spirit. A self-taught painter, I joined the international association of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) in 2003 - a unique association supporting artists who cannot paint with their hands due to physical disabilities. My oil paintings have been showcased in numerous group exhibitions and solo shows. As an artist navigating a severe physical disability, my art becomes a canvas of liberation. Devoid of hand function, the brush in my mouth is my conduit to control, independence and a profound sense of freedom. My realism captures intricate details, portraying the beauty I discover in my surroundings. I draw inspiration from my experience as a mother with physical challenges and take pleasure in painting my sons in beautiful everyday moments. My submission features five paintings that express my perspective as a disabled mother. They illustrate that having a disabled parent doesn’t condemn children to a limited life. Through this work, I aim to convey that disabled individuals can—and deserve to—lead fulfilling, normal lives.</image:caption>

As Jan 6, 2021, unfolded in the news, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein looked on, baffled as every lesson she attempted to impart to her children was blatantly disregarded by the politician in our highest office. Using a single newspaper, retrieved early 1/7/2021, she found solace in an obsessive word find, combining recent studies of her favorite still-life fruit with the chaos of a fragile Democracy.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“"In my practice, I explore the topics of interaction between human and the external environment, contact between people, the feeling of oneself in space, the connection of the emotional, mental, spiritual with the physical, bodily. While studying and practicing body psychotherapy, I saw how trauma and unexpressed emotions manifest through bodily reactions. I also use this knowledge in my artistic activity. In general, my creativity has a therapeutic focus both for me and for the participants of my practices, it encourages reflection and self-knowledge. My States project was created in 2024 using media such as photo and collage. In today's world, people often feel like strangers in their own bodies. Constant stress, fatigue, the situation in the world, war greatly affect our well-being. I study how a person's subconscious manifests through the body, often a traumatic experience that the person has repressed and does not want to notice. All our emotional manifestations pass through the body or remain in it in the form of spasms, pain, when we refuse to freely express these emotions. The body seems to be numb and we feel it badly. According to the principle of metaphorical cards, each viewer has the opportunity to freely interpret the artworks, highlighting for himself those aspects that are important to him at the moment, in order to better understand his condition, feel his body, its reactions."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I represent self-protection and resilience mechanisms that women in my family used for their survival when dealing with physical imbalances and mental disorders that gradually affected their bodies. Through interventions I insert a constant tension into my family’s photographic archive to represent the gap in emotional references in my matrilineal heritage. To the cover-up of female health issues, and the taboos linked to mental disorders of females in my family is added the geopolitical context in which their bodies were inserted. The multiple family migrations between the United States and Brazil were not translatable experiences, leaving the ancestral female bodies permeable to political ideologies, social rhetoric and religious beliefs. I demarcate moments in which international policies, social strategies and cultural indoctrination permeate women in my lineage, causing them to lose possession of their own bodies.”</image:caption>

A former academic, specializing in Gothic Literature, I am a self-taught artist dealing in (primarily) soft pastel and charcoal artwork. I enjoy creating, portraits, fantasy worlds and pieces, and illustrating some of my favorite authors of yesteryear (such as H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, et al.). The color pieces submitted here are 11x14” soft pastel works; the black and white pieces are 9x12” formed with charcoal. I am currently designing a website for my full portfolio, but for those curious, my Facebook page, dedicated solely to my physical art, is The Dark Lady of R’lyeh.”</image:caption>

In the early morning light, a hot air balloon prepares for liftoff, its vibrant red and orange hues illuminated by the powerful flame that breathes life into its form. Silhouetted figures work together, grounding the balloon as it fills, capturing the anticipation and teamwork required before soaring into the sky. The image embodies the thrill of adventure and the beauty of moments just before a journey begins.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I sculpt biological structures that traditionally are only observed and discussed in the scientific context. My sculptures may seem abstract in nature, but I draw upon actual neurons, tissues, and organs to explore the realm of perception and emotion as they manifest in physical form. I created a retinal ganglion cell that is over 5 feet tall allowing the viewer to “see” a neuron that enables vision, adding enamel details representing depolarizing ionic inputs. A sculpture of the peritoneum uses dramatic glaze techniques to illustrate how upset your stomach feels and how much your body aches during times of emotional stress. My hope is that the viewer will see biology and mental well-being paired in a new and dynamic form. My curiosity about the brain has taken me through two degrees in neuroscience from UPENN, and a career as a lawyer, where I often represented clients that had brain injuries. I have been working with clay the past 7 years and now fully devote my time to it.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Luscious Lemons; Tangerine Trio - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I'm an advanced level certified pastel artist, who won an international award in 2023 for my work. I currently live and work in my native Goa. All my submissions are dry pastel on paper, measuring roughly 8" by 10". My work is available for international purchase through Saatchi Art. "In Memoriam" reflects the delicate beauty of remembrance and the emotional weight carried by memories. The two roses, depicted in vibrant yet contrasting shades of pink and red, symbolize both love and loss. Their upright, yet fragile stems convey a sense of strength despite the passage of time, while the soft, muted background adds a dream-like quality, suggesting fading memories and quiet reflection. Through this work, I aim to evoke a sense of peaceful contemplation and to honor the quiet resilience of remembrance, with nature serving as a vessel for our most cherished and poignant moments. "Luscious Lemons" captures the vibrancy and essence of nature through a still life of lemons, where the interplay of light and shadow conveys both warmth and freshness. The composition focuses on the simplicity and beauty of everyday objects, inviting the viewer to appreciate the textures, colors, and details of the fruit. The soft pastels allow for a gentle blending of hues, creating a rich contrast between the bold, saturated lemon tones and the softer background. In "Tangerine Trio", tangerines are presented with one peeled open, adding an element of spontaneity to the arrangement. The use of soft pastels enabled me to create texture, highlighting the contrast between the smooth outer rind and the fleshy, segmented interior. The vibrant orange hues stand in stark contrast to the cool blue background, enhancing the warmth and vitality of the subject. This piece, like the first, explores the theme of change, as the fruit is partially consumed, suggesting movement and interaction with the human hand.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My days often start with setting up a still life with a view outside the window or biking around Providence to find a landscape motif, such as ponds, woods, bridges, or tunnels. While intensively observing my chosen subject, I transcribe my spirit and thoughts through the back-and-forth acts of looking and creating. I constantly make marks, then erase and rearrange them, revealing my honest search, not a mere picture of a preconceived idea of how a subject appears. My works bear traces of covered and erased lines and repainted shapes and colors. Using multiple mediums, such as charcoal, pastel, ink, acrylic, oil, and collage on paper or canvas, I play with how laying in colors in different textures and brush strokes can connect with my observational experiences and internal thought processes. The continuous struggle between the two procedural modes in my practice—immersive looking and making use of what I perceive—emerges from my own personal history of existing between China and Western countries and the diverse philosophies in each culture. I believe the “self” is an illusion, Daoism’s concept of selflessness and the idea that existence is defined by our continuous search, doubting and actions of making decisions. I digest various cultural tensions, and they are expressed through emotional states, such as “meditative” and “ecstatic,” which I then re-locate in my works. Born in Anhui, China, where many traditional landscape painters are from, I carry with me the same longing for a quiet inner space and a pastoral lifestyle as these artists, even after many years of studying abroad. However, my family and my multicultural educational background have also taught me to continually look at things from different perspectives and question my initial point of view. My creative process, through painting and drawing, is my journey of navigating through such complex cultural influences. Between marking and looking is the experience of knowing and not knowing. Through painting and doubting, I process my existence and the world around me.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Layers of Emotion - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“"I am a 27-year-old artist who moved to the U.S. when I was 10 years old. From an early age, I was immersed in art, constantly drawing and painting my way through countless sketchbooks. Specializing in portrait and figurative paintings of women, my work captures emotion with a distinct focus on the eyes and hands. I deliberately portray women from a female perspective, aiming to break away from the historical lens of male artists. I believe that the gestures of the hands are just as expressive and revealing as the eyes. While oil paint remains my primary medium, I also enjoy experimenting with mosaics, glass, and acrylics, continually pushing my creative boundaries. Within the last year, I’ve also worked on five large-scale murals for Mural Arts of Philadelphia, including ""The Mother."" Recently, I’ve been working on a series of bodyscapes and sensual paintings of women under fabrics, inspired by some photos a photographer friend took of me years ago. Transparent fabrics draped over the female form can evoke a sense of vulnerability, delicacy, and intimacy. They hint at the layers of complexity within femininity, revealing without fully exposing. The way light and shadow play through the sheer material captures both strength and softness, symbolizing different aspects of femininity. All the paintings in this series were done in oil on canvas, and each piece is over 4 feet in size."“</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Art, for me, is a journey of expression and exploration. My work is deeply inspired by the beauty of traditional Indian culture, realism, and the emotions captured in everyday human expressions. I strive to create art that resonates with people, evoking a sense of nostalgia, wonder, or reflection. I focus on intricate details, from the folds of fabric to the textures of jewelry and skin, to bring life to my subjects. My inspirations often come from historical figures, cultural icons, and the richness of rural Indian life. The essence of my work lies in capturing the soul behind every face, allowing the viewer to connect on a personal level. My palette is often rich and warm, mirroring the vibrant spirit of Indian culture. Surrounded by incredible sources of inspiration, I have developed a deep appreciation for realism, Indian culture, and the intricate details that bring life to my work. Art has become my medium for exploring emotions, capturing the essence of people, and celebrating the beauty of everyday life. Each piece I create reflects a part of my story, blending tradition with personal expression. I primarily work with oil paints on canvas, occasionally incorporating charcoal and graphite to align with the concept. My work is deeply inspired by themes of women’s rights and independence, exploring the emotional resilience and strength women show in the face of adversity. Recently, I have focused on capturing the unique struggles and challenges women encountered during the pandemic, highlighting not only their hardships but also their courage, adaptability, and enduring spirit. Through texture, contrast, and symbolism, I aim to communicate a narrative that resonates with universal issues of equality, identity, and empowerment. Each piece seeks to evoke reflection on both societal progress and the ongoing journey toward gender equality. I've sought to capture the essence of rural southern India, immersing viewers in its rich culture and traditions by incorporating vibrant colors. My work reflects the spirit of rural life, celebrating the everyday beauty, textures, and colors that define its unique heritage. Through bold palettes and intricate details, I aim to convey the warmth, resilience, and vibrancy of southern India's rural communities, offering a glimpse into their cultural depth and timeless traditions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“"I am a French-Turkish photographer who has lived in many places, making the concept of home fluid and evolving. Through conversations with people on similar paths, I've noticed that many feel a profound sense of home near water. This suggests that water holds significant power in our human experience, evoking a universal connection to home and belonging. My work uses the metaphor of water to explore these concepts, particularly through the impactful experience of heartbreak. Heartbreaks touch every human life, often in different shapes and forms. It’s deeply personal yet universally understood. So intimate that it’s often shared only with those closest to us. I believe there is profound beauty and revelation in this experience. My submission is part of a photobook project called 'Heartbreak to Home' that combines essays and unretouched analog photography to capture the rawness and authenticity of my emotions during a period of profound introspection. It explores the dynamic interplay between personal relationships and self-discovery, highlighting the themes of love, loss, and belonging.”</image:caption>

My work explores the intersection of art, technology, and sustainability, shedding light on the environmental consequences of our throw-away culture. I focus on the growing crisis of e-waste and fast fashion, both of which overwhelm landfills and degrade our planet. By incorporating e-waste and second-hand clothing into my pieces, I aim to spark reflection on consumerism’s role in fueling this crisis and foster conversations about the need for conscious consumption and sustainable practices.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Art is a possibility filter. The brushwork heals, transforms, opens and changes minds. My life, as an artist, performance artist, and teacher, with over four decades of teaching Zen meditation, and non-violent martial-arts, are integral part of my art, and an important part of my spirituality. I want to make visible this inner world. The brush work comes out of an inner stillness I enter into before and during the creation of a piece. The Enso circle in my art, is a classical Zen symbol, practiced to unify the painter in a single movement of the brush, to the world without beginning and end. A central principle of Japanese calligraphy is Ma, the awareness of negative space around the brush stroke while painting has become a central influence in my painting and drawing. I have been integrating my two styles, brushwork and figurative realism, often placing the figure into the flow of the brushwork to illuminate it. I am a self-taught artist of Japanese and European heritage.”</image:caption>

It's one of the reasons that abstract is my favorite art form. Life itself is a wonderful piece of abstract art; its beauty and message are different for each viewer. Depending on what lens is chosen, it can change each time it is viewed. The greatest gift of life and art is the constant flow and energy creating a different journey for every participant. The choice is always there for the viewer to make. I absolutely love that about art I especially love it when I hear people discussing one of my works and happily describing what they see. To me, that is what art is all about. Each person may see something different, or they may see the same thing. Isn't that what life and art are all about? The diversity, the discovery, and the joy!”</image:caption>

From growing up in New York, the works of artists like Ron English, Kenny Scarf and Takashi Murakami have inspired my style to develop into its own world portraying daily emotions people can relate to. I am constantly motivated to expand my style by making the patterns and shapes either more intertwined or simplified depending on the emotions I’m feeling at the time of creating. My intent is for the viewer to see multiple different combinations of faces displaying emotions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In January of 2024, my fiancee and I traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to visit my family and see the land of my ancestors. During this trip, I photographed many visually captivating images in the style of street photography using a 35-millimeter film camera. Each photo tells a story of its own, but I noticed an overarching theme after I had already gotten the photos processed. January is the anniversary of my brother’s death; it is also my birthday month. These two events have been at work in my subconscious as I process grief and celebrate the optimism of a new year.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Charcoal, acrylic, and oil paint on canvas 48”x32”x1.5” “Queer bodies exist as the roadkill of American Society. We are something gross, pushed off to the side of the road, and uncomfortably avoided when possible. I find kinship in the beauty and the horror of rotting animals. Just like our act of living as transgender beings is often treated with horror, disgust, and violence, I find solace in the immutable truth that we all come to rest in the cradle of the earth’s crust. We all turn to rot. And we all are immeasurably more beautiful for it. This piece is dedicated to Kitty Monroe, a Latine trans woman who was murdered on the first day of 2024 in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. This was not the first instance of violence perpetrated against her due to her gender identity and expression –but it was the last. This painting acts as a reminder to not look away from the brutality and ugliness happening to members of our community. See the pain, see the beauty –feel how uncomfortable it is to have the line be blurred between the two, and whatever happens; please don’t look the other way. A quarter of all proceeds made from any sale of this image (painting or otherwise) will be donated to One N Ten, an incredible organization that works to support LGBTQ+ youth throughout Arizona.”</image:caption>

Color is my language, and I use it to capture the emotion and wonder of discovery. My work draws from the fleeting beauty of light, the textures of nature, and the stories of cultures encountered along the way. Each piece is a reflection of life’s unfolding paths, where inspiration lies not in the destination but in the moments we experience along the way. Through vibrant, expressive compositions, I invite viewers to join me in celebrating the adventure of discovery and connecting with their own sense of wonder.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My sculptural practice challenges and reimagines American identity through abstraction, using symbols like the American flag, religious iconography, and pop culture references in order to deconstruct and redefine their cultural significance. Growing up in in the midwest, I explore themes such as nationalism, and the complexities of American-ness in my work. By transforming these familiar symbols, I aim to question the narratives they reinforce and provoke a deeper reflection on their role in shaping our collective experience. Drawing on the technical foundations from my studies in Florence and London, I integrate these ideas with a material rationale informed by my upbringing. I work with recycled builder's materials which carry their own inherent histories—remnants of labor, class, and, industry. These materials, once used to build public or private spaces, now serve as vessels of memory and cultural commentary, allowing me to explore the intersections of industry, identity, and the American experience. I find myself greatly influenced by the Arte Povera movement and expressionist schools of thought, I manipulate these materials in unexpected ways, breaking down their conventional meanings and offering new, liberated perspectives on American identity. Through this process, I create space for critical dialogue, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationships with the ideas and values embedded in everyday cultural and political symbols."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a data artist, which means I explore the critical and expressive potential behind structured ways of understanding the physical world. This piece is a durational cyanotype exposure of sunbeams through the window of my London flat. I prepared the papers with light-sensitive cyanotype solution, then arranged them on a west-facing wall in a 6 × 3 grid. I exposed the papers to thirty minutes of sunlight on 2024/02/01, from 12:46 to 13:16, during which the beams visibly progressed — due, of course, to the apparent movement of the sun, which impressed upon the paper directly. The work represents the passage of time as a visible duration, ambivalent to human operational abstractions (i.e. longitude, clock time). Despite the apparent rigidity of the two overlaid grids, the ""artist"" is absent, as the sun simply impresses itself on the prepared paper. The piece therefore coheres with the theme of ""Letting Go,"" because it represents the act of relinquishing artistic agency over the final visual composition. (The sun does the work, instead.) Fixing the interior on the surface of the earth, in relation to the sun, the visual effect is both intimate and celestial.“</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This piece, measuring 150 x 150 cm, was created using acrylic paint, oil paint, gel medium, gesso, and newspaper magazine (ephemerals). The portrait is of Travis’s aunt, a Vietnamese-Cambodian who survived the Khmer Rouge genocide; surrounding her are six Khmer words, including “gold,” “aroma,” “cry/tear,” and “cook.” The portrait evokes not only the impermanence of life but also the struggle to find stability in a tumultuous world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“"Windows of Opportunities" is a vibrant dance of blues, pinks, purples, yellows, sages, and whites. This piece is more than just a painting; it's a journey through a kaleidoscope of colors and textures, each one a unique gateway inviting you to explore endless possibilities and dreams, while also encouraging you to let go and embrace new opportunities. The blues represent tranquility and wisdom, the pinks embody love and creativity, the purples exude mystery and inspiration, the yellows shine with hope and energy, the sages radiate growth and harmony, and the whites symbolize purity and new beginnings. Together, they create a symphony of emotions and opportunities waiting to be discovered. Every brushstroke is thoughtfully placed, adding layers of texture that invite you to reach out and feel the depth. It's a reminder that opportunities are everywhere, waiting to be unveiled, each window offering a new perspective and a new adventure, inviting you to 'let go' and embrace what lies ahead. 40x30x1.5" acrylic on canvas I am dedicated to bringing joy through vibrant and playful art. My passion lies in painting fun, colorful abstract pieces where I find inspiration in art, travel, nature, photography, and well-being. May my art brighten your spaces and bring positivity to your life!”</image:caption>

This series lays a foundation for a playground by which eccentric profiles might be interpreted from her shadows and be constructed into material formations for future sculptures. I would like to continue building on this idea of interrogating classical patriarchal operations of building with eccentric sculptural interventions, at a scale by which one could associate with the column, by way of process and materiality.”</image:caption>

My research explores the affective and cognitive dimensions of human sensory experience and tangible interactions through the integration of machine learning, physical computing, digital fabrication, and sensory design. My submission, Luminous Solace, is an interactive light installation that transforms subconscious fidgeting motions into a dynamic array of generative graphics. These graphics, rather than just light, are randomized and evolve based on the user’s tactile interaction with the embedded sensors. Powered by TinyML, the system detects various fidgeting patterns and translates them into visual compositions, modulating color, intensity, and pattern. The project integrates machine learning, physical computing, digital fabrication, and sensory design to investigate how tangible interactions can create an immersive and therapeutic experience that promotes emotional balance and tranquility.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Community is a notion that we are not only connected by our heritage and proximity, but also through an exchange of ideas and a desire to help one another. Trees personify this complex and vital system. In 2016, ecologist Suzanne Simard wanted to find out if trees could talk to each other. What she found was a network of fungi underground connecting the roots of trees that not only relayed information to each other, but also provided nutrients for young and dying plants. This discovery is an embodiment of community. Arboreal pictures act as a symbolic language for us to see how connected we are. By using different types of trees around my community in Lincoln, Nebraska and locations meaningful to me, I am portraying communities living together. We need our farmers, teachers, and artists just as much as trees need a forest. The threads that connect us may not be as visible as my work prescribes, but they are there; a continuous interconnection to one another.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Growing up in Pakistan, I was constantly with my artist mother in her studio and later ended up studying interior design. Ultimately, I turned back to the fine arts with a focus on calligraphy. Eventually, I came to the United States and for over a decade here, I have endeavored to refine my calligraphy and started working on architectural paintings as well. Along the way I have displayed in different galleries in NewYork, Chicago, Richmond and LA. Won best of show in galleries. Now in my studio in Pewaukee I work on commissions and give Calligraphy classes.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - The Boy Beneath the Crimson Cap - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“‘Crimson Cap’ is more than just a red hat; it stands as a symbol, perhaps hinting at childhood innocence or fervor, with an undercurrent of adventure and exploration. The boy's story likely holds many unspoken emotions and experiences, his world imbued with emotional depth, dreams painted in vivid hues, and a subtle touch of mystery yet to be unveiled. Thus, “Beneath the Crimson Cap” does more than describe his outward appearance—it symbolically captures the richness of the boy’s inner spirit, a universe of feeling and discovery concealed within. In this portrait I sought to capture the resilience and quiet strength that lives within the children of rural landscapes. Inspired by memories of my own childhood, where simplicity and hardship were constants, I used techniques influenced by Rembrandt and Velázquez to deepen the interplay of light and shadow, revealing the complex spirit in his gaze. The red cap, like a small ember, signifies hope amidst adversity, while his unflinching expression speaks of a life familiar with struggle. This piece, honored with a nomination at the 14th International Open Art Awards, stands as a milestone for me among 24 accomplished artists, encouraging me to continue exploring the human stories within the textures of rural life”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 ART - Intersections - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Creating a personal visual vocabulary to engage the viewer is key to my work. As an intermedia artist, abstraction itself speaks to a hidden language and unrevealed experiences. Over the years, my style has shifted from mixed media work to installation, and now, in recent years, a return back to mixed media and painting. The intersection of painterly marks allows me to puzzle and edit, weaving shapes, texture, colors and line into unexpected vocabularies and compositions. My intent is to allow the viewer to enter into a collective language and visual experience through their own imaginings.”</image:caption>

I enjoy making colorful art that reflects my background and culture, and many of my works focus on portraits that tie to my Hispanic heritage. I use a variety of mediums, including watercolor, ink, acrylic paint, and charcoal. ‘Roots’ is done in acrylic paint, and is a portrait of a woman and her baby wearing traditional Mexican Chiapaneca dresses. ‘Kaleidoscope’ is done in watercolor, ink, and acrylic paint, and is a portrait of an African tribesman wearing traditional tribal jewelry.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my art, I try not to limit myself to established styles or techniques, preferring to explore something new. My works are diverse, because I like to "break" ordinary images into pixels, creating something completely new from them. It allows me to play with optical illusions and show different ways of seeing the environment in art. This reflects our modern world and its pixel perception. If you look at my paintings from a distance, it may seem that this is a reflection of the everyday life characteristic of real situations. But if you get closer, it becomes clear that there are no familiar images - only blurred, color squares that are far from reality. This perception game overturns the usual vision of the world, offering the viewer to deeply immerse himself in the world of abstraction and pixel mosaic.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - bloomEnfolding</image:title>
      <image:caption>“…the verticality of this series is my exploration of boundaries in non-narrative abstractions and the correlations or contentions of color and form. After the 2024 presidential election, this series of paintings evolved by beginning with horizontal red and blue pencil lines. Sometimes drawn with pressure, sometimes drawn almost hovering over the surface, sometimes with those two colors overlapping, sometimes isolated or alternating. Regarding newscircleOne, bloomEnfolding and releasingHope, each work in this series is an exploration of what a news subject’s hidden layers of context could be and what unstated truths could lie at the center of each story worth publishing. After reading a news article and observing its corresponding photo, I explore not what is possibly beyond the edge of a photo, but am wondering if there is something more significant or illuminative beneath it.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art explores the fusion of reality and surrealism, creating fantastical visuals that blur the boundaries between the two. Inspired by the works of René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, and Giorgio de Chirico, I am captivated by surrealism's unrestrained freedom and aim to capture its playful absurdity in my creations. Through whimsical, otherworldly scenes, I invite viewers to dive into their imaginations, uncovering layers that reveal more than meets the eye.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Aging Parent - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We observe others as a way of understanding ourselves. My mixed media oil paintings are individualistic narratives which explore personage through self-presentation, facial expressions, and gesture. I often focus on the under-revered, appreciating the subject's presence and dignity, giving pause to honor the person, who is often additionally venerated by envelopment in color and pattern. I want the work to encourage people to appreciate and love one another. ‘Aging Parent’ depicts my mother, an artist, activist, and immense source of stability and influence in my life, who has been diagnosed with dementia. The process of painting her gave me time to think about her and adjust to new dynamics in our relationship, or rather a process of "letting go" of the past. It has been a way of spending time together which has been quite rewarding and personally important, when our verbal interaction can no longer be what it once was. Heidi Brueckner is a Professor of Art at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA where she has taught painting, drawing, and design for 25 years. Brueckner holds a BA in Fine Art and a BA in Art History from University of California, Santa Cruz; and an MFA in Painting from University of Kansas. Professor Brueckner’s work has been shown at museums, galleries, colleges, and in publications nationally and internationally.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Samuel S. Hernandez is a Washington, D.C.–based painter working in oil on canvas. He reorients the familiar by bending classical forms into quiet, dreamlike images that unsettle perception without spectacle. Each painting evolves slowly—atmospheric veils of color, scumbled edges that blur and shift, and wiped surfaces that reveal subtle underlayers—so presence and absence coexist on the same plane. Hernandez paints to give shape to what words leave unsaid, balancing what is seen, remembered, and felt. His work invites a second look, coaxing the invisible out of the everyday and rewarding the patient observer with a language beyond words”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Based in Philadelphia, Marlaina Schiman is an oil painter and fine artist. She studied at both Temple and Rowan University, earning her B.F.A at the latter. Working predominantly figuratively, her pieces show themes of intimacy, alienation, and liberation, focusing on individual subjects juxtaposed against themselves or parts of themselves, frequently in indistinct and liminal spaces. She is fascinated by the effects of transparency, playing with light and shadow, and experimenting with trends from art history. She is currently working on a body of work about body image issues, eating disorders, sexual trauma, and gender socialization.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Slowing Down - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“The exploration of sexuality and its complexities is a timely and important subject matter. I've always seen sexuality as a powerful force. It holds the power to either destroy or grant us a fresh start. It can be abusive. It can be loving. We live in an age where selt-expression is encouraged yet we are still sublected to criticism. Sometimes we hide our true selves.. Our own sexuality can be used as a weapon by others, but at the same time, it is an integral part of who we are. Each of us has different preferences and perceives the world through our own lens, experiencing our individual sexuality in unique ways. We need to find ways to coexist with this reality. Through my photographs, I hope to convey a strong message of resistance to the world. I want people to stop and think, perhaps ask questions, and reflect on the answers in silence. What do you see here? What do you feel here? What are your thoughts? Are you judgmental?”</image:caption>

I am currently working on Underwater photography, water balloon portraits, and a series called Inedible: The food we eat is killing us!!!

      <image:caption>“In my art, in broad terms, I am interested in nature, culture and humanity. I explore their connections to one another. It translates into images of mostly water, some wood (as key environmental resources); into man-made objects, patterns, languages of some cultures and the human condition which is expressed mostly through body language. The metaphors of body language can be interpreted literally also. All of these interests confront a variety of identities we carry, and not necessarily just cultural ones. My own struggle with a double cultural identity propelled me to put it in a broader context and explore the nature of identity and the individual’s relationship to it in the era of globalization. I expressly tie together contemporary issues with individual and attempt to entangle their ambiguous relationship. We as cultures and individuals have a role in shaping our cultures, others’ cultures and our natural environment.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My recent work is where nostalgia flirts with rebellion and joy plays dress-up in vintage shades. Through layers of collage, mark making, spray paint, textured acrylics, and juicy oil paint, I build bold, vibrant portraits that honor the beautiful mess of being human—especially the feminine kind. I love mixing the unexpected: a splash of glam, a wink of humor, a touch of grit. Trained in fashion design but now fully at home in fine art, I’m forever chasing that sweet spot between stylized realism and abstract freedom. My paintings offer a place to pause, to feel, and maybe to remember some forgotten version of yourself—sun-drenched, wild-hearted, and fully alive. I create art that celebrates transformation and the tender strength it takes to be soft in a sharp world. These are not just pretty pictures; they’re layered invitations to connect—with the work, with the story, and most importantly, with yourself.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a watercolor artist, my work seeks to capture the delicate interplay of light, color, and emotion. Watercolor, with its fluidity and unpredictability, is the perfect medium to express the transient beauty I see in the world around me. Each stroke and wash allows me to convey not just the visual, but the visceral essence of my subjects, whether they be landscapes, figures, or abstract compositions.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Mirror to Mirror - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My black-and-white photographic project titled Mirror to Mirror explores the metaphorical use of the fragmented mirror or the frame within the frame. Unlike a mirror that reflects a complete image of what is in front of it, the mirrors in my work limit one’s perception. I use small mirrors varying in shape and scale, which create compositions that obscure the view of the subject. By placing mirrors within the settings of various backgrounds, the spatial appearance is altered to convey an atmosphere of surreality. Mirrors simplify and insinuate a gradual building of form throughout each image by constructing frames within the frame. The undefined edges of the mirrors suggest an illusion of depth, and the subject appears immersed within another layer. The overlapping of mirrors blends into a new formation of the face which alludes to a complicated sense of identity. Mirror to Mirror questions our possibility to perceive one unified whole from the multitude of one's self.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>An incoming senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Philadelphia native, Anna Falk is a two-dimensional visual artist working primarily with water- and oil-based media, creating figurative paintings that explore abstraction within the human form. Her work investigates the complexities of femininity, form, and the distortion of memory, aiming to reflect the dualities of womanhood; the inherent beauty and the pain, subconscious shield of strength to hide shifting vulnerabilities. Figures often emerge and dissolve throughout these illustrative pieces, echoing the ways in which memory morphs and withers over time. Falk's atmospheric application invites viewers into a space that feels both familiar and foreign.</image:caption>

During the creative process, we do not merely replicate the surface of things, but transform specific objects into abstract language through our own perspectives, and achieve new combinations and expressions through this abstraction. In this process, my task is to capture and present those overlooked details, allowing the audience to perceive deeper truths through the works.”</image:caption>

I primarily work in collage and mixed media. I use doll forms, wax, religious iconography, texts and imagery. Some are beautiful, some disturbing, but each speaks to a certain truth. The ability to overcome shame, stigma and guilt. My visual art often directly reflects my writing. In a sense, they nurture one another. Both are my means to explore trauma, sexuality, gender, and religion. Both are raw, immediate and honest. My goal is for my work to speak not just for me, but also for others who have found their way to new paths, reflecting a connection to what was or what could be.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sylvia Bandyke, from Royal Oak, MI, relies on the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is even more compelling because of the embedded story. Having been a playwright and technical writer, she is used to delivering content with a message. Now as a visual communicator, she continues to provide meaning via the structure of the collage format, wherein the four photos confirm, augment or even contradict each other. Bandyke enjoys offering the richness provided by the multiplicity of images along with the impact gained through thoughtful positioning of them. She began her art career by displaying in ArtPrize, an independent international art competition in Grand Rapids MI, from 2014-2018. Subsequently she was juried into over 100 group exhibits in 23 states and accepted into many online international shows. Her hope is that her work will act a doorway to the viewers' own mental/emotional framework regarding the images, offering a personal experience.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Hailey McGuire's work is deeply rooted in themes of trauma, human experience, emotion, and spirituality. She believes that these concepts are intimately interconnected, and that by exploring them through art, she can create a space for reflection and healing. One of the ways in which Hailey explores these themes is through the use of found materials and sculptural elements. By incorporating three-dimensional objects into her work, she is able to create a sense of depth and texture that invites the viewer to engage with the work on a physical level. These sculptural elements serve as a metaphor for the complexities of human experience, representing the ways in which our lives are shaped by both external forces and our own internal struggles. At the same time, Hailey’s approach to painting is intentionally inconsistent and ever-changing. Rather than adhering to a particular style or technique, she allows her work to evolve and change over time”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Based in Philadelphia, Marlaina Schiman is an oil painter and fine artist. She studied at both Temple and Rowan University, earning her B.F.A at the latter. Working predominantly figuratively, her pieces show themes of intimacy, alienation, and liberation, focusing on individual subjects juxtaposed against themselves or parts of themselves, frequently in indistinct and liminal spaces. She is fascinated by the effects of transparency, playing with light and shadow, and experimenting with trends from art history. She is currently working on a body of work about body image issues, eating disorders, sexual trauma, and gender socialization.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a child, each “be quiet” or “settle down” chipped away at my loud, joyful, and expressive self. Over time, I absorbed the implied shame in those words, believing I needed to change myself. Until later in adulthood, I had a revelation—maybe the self-doubt and anxiety I carried wasn’t proof of inadequacy but rather was an indication of a life spent measuring my worth against shifting expectations. What if my value was innate, not earned? The women in my paintings shamelessly flaunt their identities, symbolized by their bold, voluminous hair. Their hair becomes a metaphor for refusing to subdue or tone down any part of themselves. The abstract marks within their hair symbolize the noise of the world’s pressure and expectations. Yet this noise fades into the background as these figures radiate self-assuredness, untethered from external validation.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My interest in art lies in the exploration of self as well as in the physical construction of paintings. I seek out therapeutic craft practices and attempt to elevate them to the level of fine arts through the experimental mixture of media. I work not only with paints but with embroidery, weaving, ceramics, wood, and photography as well. Often these and other forms of art will come together in one piece, linked by color, pattern, or a unifying thread. Through a process of visually and physically breaking down and reconstructing a subject, which is often rooted in a deeply personal place, I can create something that is both structurally unique and personally rewarding.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As an artist, I am drawn to the expressive possibilities of black and white, as well as the dynamic use of color, on paper. My work combines elements of realism and impressionism, blending the two styles into something uniquely my own. I often begin with a realistic foundation, but as the piece evolves, it takes on a more expressive quality. I employ a variety of mark-making techniques to convey emotion and texture in my artwork. Bold brushstrokes and gestural lines, to delicate washes and intricate detailing, allow me to create dynamic compositions that captivate the viewer's eye and evoke a sense of movement and energy. Layering and texture are key elements of my artistic practice. I build depth and complexity in my artwork through successive layers of color, line, and texture, creating richly textured surfaces that invite viewers to explore the subtle nuances of my creations. I use shadows prominently in my work, allowing them to envelop isolated figures and barren landscapes”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Society is lost when it values a future that puts the present moment in the back seat. Through working with thousands of lottery tickets I found myself to be lost in the visions and dreams I had for myself without understanding where I was. Winning the lottery can be analogous to a dream coming to fruition. However, the distance between one’s immediate present moment and the gratifying culmination of an achievement realized isn’t measured by time. It takes time to accomplish anything at all, but the decision for the task to be done is an act of faith in oneself, one’s company, and even one’s country. Don Quixote, the madman that Miguel Cervantes wrote of, had faith in his sense of wonder and his unyielding battle for Dulcina Del Toboso’s requitance of his love. The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of hope for immigrants wanting to make America their home, stands off the shores of New York now as a reminder of what had been fought to establish a country that gave liberty and justice to all.”</image:caption>

After 30 years as an Architectural designer, in 2000, I began a long delayed passion, painting. I was fortunate to have had great opportunities &amp; many solo shows on the Monterey Peninsula, San Francisco and in Amsterdam. In 2019, a gallery in Madrid asked to represent my work. Since 2019, I am now represented in Madrid at: Galeria Fuentenebro. In Carmel by the Sea, CA. Since 2017, I am represented at: The American Art Gallery. I now have private collectors in eighteen states in the USA and in five countries in Europe. My great inspiration is the sea. I walk the beach daily and see the forms and changing colors of the sky, the sand, the rocks and the water. I am awed by the Abstract Expressionists who opened the world to a new style of painting; primarily Franz Kline, de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Based in Philadelphia, Marlaina Schiman is an oil painter and fine artist. She studied at both Temple and Rowan University, earning her B.F.A at the latter. Working predominantly figuratively, her pieces show themes of intimacy, alienation, and liberation, focusing on individual subjects juxtaposed against themselves or parts of themselves, frequently in indistinct and liminal spaces. She is fascinated by the effects of transparency, playing with light and shadow, and experimenting with trends from art history. She is currently working on a body of work about body image issues, eating disorders, sexual trauma, and gender socialization.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Original: “José Francisco Blasco Rivero (Écija, Sevilla, 1983) es un escultor andaluz con más de veinte años de trayectoria. Formado en la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Sevilla, completó estudios en vaciado, modelado y talla en piedra y madera. Su carrera comenzó como aprendiz en talleres de cerámica y imaginería religiosa, desarrollando un dominio técnico que caracteriza toda su obra. En 2006 fundó su primer taller en el barrio de Triana (Sevilla), y desde entonces ha trabajado ininterrumpidamente en Gines. Su producción abarca imaginería procesional, escultura profana, retrato y monumentos, siempre desde una sólida base tradicional con sensibilidad contemporánea. Ha expuesto y trabajado en Panamá e Italia, y en los últimos años ha consolidado su proyección internacional con importantes reconocimientos en París, como la Medalla de Plata de la Academia Francesa de las Artes (2024) y el Premio a la Mejor Escultura en la Exposición Oficial de la Academia y la Exposición de la Prensa (2025). En 2025 ha sido distinguido como Ecijano del Año y galardonado con el Premio Grandes Talentos en Madrid. Actualmente trabaja en el monumento en bronce al cantante Bambino, que se instalará en la Plaza de la Constitución de Utrera (Sevilla).” Translation: “José Francisco Blasco Rivero (Écija, Seville, 1983) is an Andalusian sculptor with more than twenty years of experience. Trained at the School of Arts and Crafts of Seville, he completed studies in casting, modeling, and carving in stone and wood. His career began as an apprentice in ceramic workshops and religious imagery, developing the technical mastery that characterizes all his work. In 2006, he founded his first studio in the Triana district of Seville, and since then he has worked continuously in Gines. His production spans processional imagery, secular sculpture, portraiture, and monuments—always grounded in a solid traditional base with contemporary sensitivity.

      <image:caption>“My work as a film photographer is based on the tactile and temporal aspects of creating analog images. I'm drawn to the silent remnants of Americana and underappreciated facets of daily events on the streets. I capture images that try to resemble distant memories in our minds in the hopes of bringing everyday abandoned places back to life. The duality of the locations I capture and the analog medium I use to do it allows me to show beauty where the average eye would not see it. A good photograph to me is one where the viewer cannot ascertain the exact year it was taken, I want my photographs to have a sense of both nostalgia and modernity.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I create pictures that help me explore the idea of escape, sexuality and ideas of mortality and passage after life, and about how to deal with trauma and healing from that trauma. My use of the figure explores my identity as a queer man that is still expected to justify my experiences and basic human identity. I use the human figure in order to communicate essential ideas of how we relate to each other, how we affect each other, and how to move to space that is empowering and encouraging. I often depict the figure (or figurative elements or components) in situations or stances that allude to ideas of fighting back, play and wonderment, as well as stoicism and quiet resolve. I also explore the idea of “passage” and “journey”, not only to communicate ideas of healing and working through trauma, but also to communicate the idea of growing beyond limitations and definitions of being”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My ultimate pursuit in art lies in profoundly understanding reality and its true presentation. During the creative process, we do not merely replicate the surface of things, but transform specific objects into abstract language through our own perspectives, and achieve new combinations and expressions through this abstraction. In this process, my task is to capture and present those overlooked details, allowing the audience to perceive deeper truths through the works.”</image:caption>

Using my grandfather’s Argus camera, I would document elaborate battlefield scenes of my plastic toy soldiers and Tonka trucks in my backyard. That childlike fascination continues to this day. The images depicted here are from a photographic essay entitled “A Tale of Two Lakes.” This project documents an urban lake near my Minneapolis home and a rustic lake in northern Minnesota. Combining the written word with photography, my objective is to inspire viewers to take notice of their daily routines and surroundings in a new way and find the “extraordinary in the everyday ordinary.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I find myself seeking liminal space: between many art forms and mediums, between poetry and painting, between macro and micro, between reality and invention. My paint flows between hard and soft edges, thick and thin paint, blended and rough textures. The soundtrack to my meditation is the scratch of an etching needle on an intaglio plate, or the sound of my carving tools being sharpened before I begin a new block. My curiosity as an artist branches into many different mediums and I embrace that. The transformative power of imagination is at the heart of my work. Art-making has helped me to better understand myself, to explore my own stories, and to put my experiences of trauma into a new context. It has helped me to heal. In the space of paper or canvas and with ink, paint, or pen the things that have hurt me become manageable. In that space I have the power to transform, to exorcise pigment into something new.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“For the past twenty years, I have painted primarily with my fingers in acrylic paint and the pieces I’m submitting here are examples of this. Recently, I started experimenting with an adapted type of Flemish-style painting, building up the majority of my images with thin glazing layers, which I paint over paper affixed to canvas. The glazing layers help create a greater sense of realism and depth and the paper contributes to the wrinkled textures in the background. On a contextual level, my paintings have a sort of “aboutness” that revolves around personal difficulty, contemplative prayer, trauma and good fortune. I consider my work to be thank you letters to God.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Elemental Dancer - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My work is rooted in the belief that creativity is an act of courage—one that requires us to cross boundaries, challenge norms, and bring our full, imperfect selves to the surface. Through vibrant, expressive paintings of dancing, female-presenting nudes, I create a space where human freedom takes center stage: raw, joyful, emotional, and unconfined. These figures resist stillness and silence. Their motion is messy, honest, and defiant—mirroring the creative process itself. By reclaiming bodies often hidden or policed, I invite viewers into a dialogue about what it means to take up space, to create without apology, and to celebrate the parts of ourselves that don’t fit inside neat cultural lines. In both subject and process, my work, like your journal, aims to foster a space where bold, thoughtful creativity thrives—where art becomes a channel for liberation, vulnerability, and radical presence.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I seek references from unusual places. Advertisements, screenshots from television, blurry images from online marketplaces, and other snapshots of the world around me. Mundane yet surreal images are collected like visions, carefully analyzed and replicated, reflecting a narrative of my specific time and place in the world. Throughout the personal, political, abstract, and representative, I document the world with a careful appreciation for beauty in the unexpected.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I try to capture beauty and sentiment wherever I find it. My lens is drawn to anything that brings me a strong feeling—positive or negative. I lean on other female artists for guidance and inspiration. Brooklyn-based architectural photographer Devon Banks provided crucial mentorship and insight for this series. Although the photos are very different in some ways, I like to think they all communicate something about the complexities of being young and female—both the desire to be seen and the discomfort of being looked at, the tension between a readiness to launch into the world and the urge to cling to what is familiar. There’s something achingly beautiful in that in-between space, where vulnerability and strength, yearning and hesitation, collide. Through these photos, I aim to explore that liminal state, capturing its fleeting intensity and subtle contradictions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gelovna is a visionary artist whose work reflects a life shaped by profound personal experiences, cultural depth, and relentless artistic dedication. Born in Khabarovsk, Russia, in 2003, and of Georgian and Siberian descent, she was raised by two artistically gifted parents who nurtured her early passion for creativity. Her unconventional childhood, spent traveling across Southeast Asia and between contrasting environments, from craft-filled homes to her father’s adult nightlife venues, instilled in her a complex, worldly perspective. After fleeing political threats in Russia and relocating to Miami in 2011, Gelovna faced further tragedy with the loss of her father in 2019, prompting a temporary retreat from art. In 2022, she reignited her practice with renewed purpose, using painting as both homage and healing. Today, her bold, emotionally charged work explores themes of loss, erotica, resilience, and identity, inviting viewers into a deeply personal and uncompromising artistic world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work is about celebrating experiences and moments that bring joy. Each painting is an expression of what this evokes in me. Color is one of the most important aspects of my work, with saturated hues creating a sense of energy. I love to experiment with techniques and textures, using layers of paint and other materials to create depth and complexity. This establishes a flow as the eye travels across the surface, discovering details and surprises.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work is semi-abstract, surreal, and avant-garde. I am captivated by interesting forms and juxtapose elements in order to create mystery and amplify the magic I see in the world around me. My images invite the viewer to stay longer, drawing them into a deeper kind of “seeing.” Photography, for me, is a practice in seeing and presence. We go through life taking things that are right under our noses for granted, seeing in a superficial or preconceived way, or miss beauty entirely, limited by our own inner blockages. When I’m out with my camera, I force myself to observe more deeply, and search for those breathtaking glimpses I might normally miss. I am intrigued by nature’s forms: Ice, flowing water, ancient trees, geological formations. I am drawn to seeing strong forms as my primary composition, and then I am interested in incorporating elements that can be juxtaposed, as found in a reflection, between foreground and background, edges, the contrast between flow and stillness”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Acted out on stage. Illustrated onto a page. Words becoming sentences becoming paragraphs becoming stories. Visuals taking shape within a certain frame. No matter the context, there is an idea there, a thought, possibly a story to be brought up from within. Put out into reality to make someone think, feel. And whether short or long, story or picture, hopefully it resonates in some way with the viewer. With a strong affinity for genre fiction and surreal art, there is possible truth in all forms.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m a wildlife and landscape photographer based in Wyoming, with a deep passion for capturing the natural beauty and untamed spirit of the West. My work focuses primarily on deer and other native wildlife, highlighting quiet, intimate moments in their natural environments. From snow-dusted mule deer in the backcountry to wide-open landscapes shaped by wind and time, my photography aims to preserve and share the raw, wild beauty that makes Wyoming so unique. Whether it’s a still winter morning or a dramatic summer sky over sagebrush plains, I strive to evoke a sense of connection to the land and the animals that call it home.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As an artist, I see my process as a “supply chain manager.” I seek out ideas, quotes, and funny sayings, as well as designs, ancient symbols, photos and graffiti. I also collect family stories, other peoples histories, and books - lots of books. These bits and pieces are recorded in my sketchbooks on a daily basis and become a source for new artwork and new imaginings. My process of making work is to engage in questioning, wonder, and to examine playful, irritating, exhilarating, analytical, and/or worrisome concepts. Many times, a painting plan feels as though it is a wrestling match. I begin with a design held firmly in my grasp, and then just as my confidence increases, the process slips through my fingers. If I am a good loser, I walk away and come back later, only to realize that what is emerging is another "better" answer. Thank you for considering my work.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I make work that speaks to contradiction—between beauty and waste, permanence and impermanence, reverence and ruin. My practice sits at the uncomfortable intersection of ecological anxiety, personal vulnerability, and the quiet rituals of making. Whether I’m working in glass, metal, or wood, my art is driven by an urgency to confront the systems we’re complicit in—and the ones we create inside ourselves. And yet, despite the heaviness, my work also holds humor, wonder, and hope. There is levity in excess, irony in reverence, and beauty in imperfection. I do not make work that offers solutions. I make work that slows people down—long enough to feel, to question, to wonder why things are the way they are and whether they have to stay that way.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work holds deep personal resonance, with each element carrying a fragment of my story. Every time I revisit it, I discover something new—layers of meaning, emotion, and reflection unfolding with each encounter. In classical Chinese culture, calligraphy—known as Shu—is believed to possess a transformative power, capable of altering the natural order of things. Yet in public spaces, the same calligraphic language has often been weaponized to enforce ideological conformity. Towering, bold characters on walls once served as propaganda, filling the landscape with scripted rhetoric. However, in the hands of ordinary people, the same script was also a vessel of resilience, embodying personal and cultural identity. My work aims to confront this duality—both the distortion and the spiritual resonance of language.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Milena Makani, born in 1984 in Sofia, Bulgaria, is a German contemporary artist based in London, UK. Marked by gestural, expressionist, and lyrical abstraction, Makani’s deeply psychological paintings depict inner landscapes characterized by layered textures, fluid forms, gradients and contrasts. Employing acrylics, watercolours and inks on mineral stone sheets, she blends control and spontaneity through the interplay of intention, organic process and manipulation. Makani lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a chronic, incurable condition and the source of constant pain and various disabilities. Guided by an intuitive connection to her inner world and rooted in curiosity and emotional interpretation of her lived experience, Makani investigates themes such as resilience, serenity, isolation, joy, stoicism and fragility.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work bridges the realm between storytelling and sculpture, exploring themes such as connection, mortality, memory, faith, and the human condition. I am endlessly fascinated by dichotomies of darkness and light; structure and form. Using traditional and modern carving techniques I create conceptual pieces that speak to the interplay between permanence and fragility. Each sculpture is a narrative, inspiring reflection on the moments, emotions and substance of our lives. These works are informed by a passion for the natural world and human creativity both, driven by a love of beauty, quest for truth, and deep sense of poise and dignity. Through this act of blending subjects, textures, and symbolism, I strive to invite the viewer into a literal and figurative space, evoking a sense of intimacy and connection.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I view my approach to art like a famous Bruce Lee quote about being like water. My art style varies and adapts depending on the message I am trying to convey. This helps me exhibit a multifaceted approach to being creative. My preferred medium is drawing with colored pencils, pens, or markers. This allows me to control how much or how little color i add to each piece. However, i paint loosely to display a playful childlike nature or detailed enough to command attention. I view creating as an essential progress to understanding myself and my surrounding world better. It helps me explore both the dark corners of my soul and look at the lighthearted moments that come often. Each piece has various hidden meanings that request for the viewer's engagement. I am constantly searching to create artwork that can give depth to what could be viewed as simply 2D art. This also plays into my choice of color hues/tints that represent tone the best.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m a Portuguese Brazilian digital artist based in Massachusetts. I was born in Portugal and moved to the U.S. with my family when I was around five, and I’ve been creating art ever since I could hold a pencil. I specialize in digital art and commissions, and I also work on personal animations when I have the time. I love exploring fantasy themes and deep emotions in my work—anything that tells a story or makes someone feel something. Even though I don’t speak Portuguese, my heritage is a big part of who I am and inspires how I see the world. My goal as an artist is to share my work with the world and connect with other creatives who are just as passionate as I am.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Black and white film photography creates a world that is nostalgic and timeless. It transports the viewer to a realm outside the world of color. My desire to work in black and white photography is because of the ambiguity it creates. The subject, laid bare, exposes who they really are without the presence of color. Film photography is more intentional than digital as each image once developed, can’t be undone. I have an intimate connection to the process as I handle the film and watch the photos come to life. Laura Aguilar is a lesbian Mexican American photographer who photographs her fellow queer Chicanos. They represent who she is and where she comes from. Similarly, my creative practice examines feminine and masculine ideals and how these ideals kin to their identity. I want their essence to show through these images and embody who they are. These photos are reflections of my own identity. I learn more about myself as I meet new people and learn about them too.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Brent Galen Adkins (they/them) is a Philadelphia-based artist whose work explores intimacy, presence, and connection. Grounded in emotional nuance, their practice captures fleeting gestures, quiet glances, and the subtle visual languages that shape how we relate to one another. Their current project centers on the richness and complexity of queer life. One part is a body of documentary photography investigating the liberatory power of queer nightlife—its role as both sanctuary and celebration. The other is a portrait series honoring the artists, organizers, and community members who cultivate and sustain these spaces. Together, the work offers a tender, layered record of queer joy, kinship, and resilience—affirming lives and narratives too often overlooked or misunderstood. Adkins holds a B.F.A. in Studio Art from Rowan University and has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including shows at Icebox Project Space, Practice Gallery, and Copenhagen Photo Festival.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I marvel at the efficiencies and opportunities created by the rapid ascent of technology, but tremble at how we strive daily to provide resources to feed these machines that steadily solidify their control of our waking hours. We wage wars, at home and abroad, to secure the fuel, rare earth metals, and other raw materials that generate life-giving nectar to feed our machines, only to dump their short-lived parts into waste streams creating environmental and societal dangers. The sense of community and connectedness offered by social media and technological advances has altered our existence. The events surrounding the 2024 presidential election, and the subsequent dismemberment of our civil society all in the name of technological efficiency cannot be overstated. I present an aesthetic judgment of technology repurposing found, scavenged, and repurposed materials to create vibrant, interactive, dynamic sculptures that challenge viewers to examine their relationship with technology.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Joshua H. Phelps explores the interplay between humanity and nature through a combination of sly wit and irony delivered via photography. To wit, humanity has employed natural resources for millennia. Originally for survival, as culture developed, so too did the depth of our relationship to nature. Things became more than themselves, symbols of magic, power, myth, and maps of the known world. At times serious, this ambiguity can also extend into the realm of kitsch and even the lines in a parking lot. At a time when humanity's relationship to nature feels all the more precarious, perhaps it is time to step back for a moment and examine the rules of the game which we have been playing all this time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Growing up in Philadelphia, Jessica was immersed in art, surrounded by artists and their creative processes, which fostered her deep appreciation for the craft. She earned her BFA from The University of the Arts and the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) before completing her MSW at Temple University. In 2007, Jessica took a break to stay home with her children. In 2018, she began exploring interests beyond her family, drawing on her fine arts background to discover sculpting in cement. Captivated by the medium, she started by creating indoor vessels, selling them on Etsy and at local fairs. During the pandemic, she shifted her focus, expanding into sculpting spheres for gallery exhibitions and outdoor landscapes. Jessica’s achievements include artist awards, participation in climate resilience programs, and securing grants for her work. Actively involved with arts organizations in New Jersey and Philadelphia, she remains deeply committed to community engagement. Through collaborative projects, workshops, commissions, and exhibitions, Jessica continues to bridge the gap between art and community, striving to make a lasting impact.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work explores movement, sensuality, atmosphere, and the anthropomorphic qualities of simple line gestures. Through painting and sculpture, I aim to evoke reflection, awe, and wonder, inspired by natural phenomena like sunrises and shifting clouds. My paintings often begin with gestural drawings of the female form in dynamic, dance-like motions. Layers of pencil crayon, watercolor, acrylic, and oil build depth and energy, sometimes obscuring the initial drawings and other times revealing them as focal points, offering a glimpse into the evolution of each piece. Inspired by the vibrant palettes of nature, my use of color enhances atmosphere and emotional resonance. Combining color, movement, and texture, I strive to create expressive, intimate works that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the energy of each creation, countering the mass-produced and impersonal.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I paint in oils to bridge the tangible and the transcendent, drawing from Old Masters like Bosch and Rembrandt while embracing modern tools—photography, video, Photoshop—to reimagine light and perspective. My work explores dualities: chaos and order, innocence and wisdom, the sacred and grotesque. These opposites aren’t just contrasts—they’re interconnected forces. Dreams inform my imagery, echoing in vivid color and fleeting forms. Each painting becomes a threshold between tradition and innovation, waking and dreaming. I aim to capture not just form, but presence—light emanating from within. My practice is a meditation on the Will to Meaning, a way of responding to the existential through creation. If my work serves a purpose beyond expression, it’s to invite viewers into a liminal space where transformation becomes possible.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Faces of War: Shujaa - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“In my series Faces of War, I explore the human toll of conflict through my signature painted mosaic technique—composed of individual, hand-painted color squares. Up close, the portraits are fragmented and abstract, reflecting the disorientation, trauma, and emotional rupture of war. The viewer is drawn into a visual chaos that resists easy comprehension. As one steps back, faces begin to emerge. From a distance, the human form resolves, inviting recognition and reflection. This perceptual transformation mirrors how time and distance affect our understanding of conflict—how clarity, empathy, and meaning often come only after we’ve gained perspective. Each portrait stands as a meditation on memory, identity, and survival. Influenced by Gestalt theory, the work asks the viewer to actively piece together what war has torn apart—inviting a deeper contemplation of how we remember, represent, and reconcile with the past.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my work, I reimagine the ancient art of buon fresco painting by exploring its contemporary possibilities. This technique, which involves the application of pigment onto wet plaster, has long been associated with grand architectural traditions, though its use today is rare due to the medium’s technical demands and labor-intensive process. My goal is to push the boundaries of fresco, both in its conventional execution and its historical associations. In a nod to graffiti art, I use an airbrush technique to bring a fresh dynamic to this old medium in ways that resonate with contemporary audiences.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Everyone was once a child with limitless imagination. However, as children grow up, the world becomes more complicated; many people gradually lose their happiness and clarity in the expanding chaos. In my small sized watercolor children’s portraits, I capture the natural innocence and sweetness of once disadvantaged children who were forced to be removed from broken families for various reasons. I believe that the flow of positive energy can be transmitted through a child’s smiles and fearlessness. To me, these paintings are like a mirror, subtly reflecting my inner true self. While it's almost impossible to always maintain a child's perspective, I hope these paintings remind us how simple and joyful our lives can be.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m a multi-media artist with a deep love for creative exploration. My work spans a wide range of materials and formats, shaped by a background in two-dimensional art, illustration, cartooning, and fiber arts. Over the years, my journey has included resort illustration, publishing a comic strip and tourist guides in Key West, and teaching museum classes, and exhibiting work across the eastern U.S. Nature is my inspiration. For forty years in Key West it was the water, horizon and incredible cloud formations. Now, in central Florida, it is forests, rivers and wildlife. I discovered Flora Yukhnovich and her work encouraged my personal quest to reduce detail and elevate suggestion in my images. Locally, a class in Creativity with Carolyn Land opened new doors to abstract visuals. Through it all, I’m guided by curiosity, intuition, and a deep connection to the natural world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“It’s not what we see, but how we see it. Most of my photographs evolve from something that catches my eye. It almost always starts with patterns of color and light. I am a colorist at heart. I am especially drawn to reflections, particularly in the context of water in all its forms. I live in Center City Philadelphia and I have been drawn to the serenity and simultaneously the burst of color that can be found along the banks of the Schuylkill River as night sets in. I have been walking on the path along the river for many years now and I have been able to observe the dynamism that has come with the development of a once secluded area. The colors and patterns that can be found there in the evening are more compelling than ever, and can be hypnotic. This path is heavily utilized and photographed at all hours of the day and night.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When I started photographing seriously, I was drawn to situations where people were in their own workspaces. These were places where people felt most at home, most themselves. They did not need “to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.” I tried to stand and watch a little before photographing to convey my appreciation for the worker’s skill and engagement. A man’s work is his life and should be respected. There is a Taoist phrase: “wei wu wei,” which has been translated a number of ways but the one I like best is “doing, not doing.” When one has become a complete master of an action, he no longer has to think about how to perform the act but has become the act himself. I look for this mastery and hope to record it. Doing work with skill and love is one of the noblest acts of man.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a mixed-media artist, I, Tinmin, utilize a lint roller to extract and manipulate fibers, transforming them into vibrant, textured compositions on paper. By repurposing materials from vintage garments, I create abstract imagery rich in color and depth, reflecting on the past and giving new life to what was once forgotten. My artistic vision is inspired by personal experiences, nature, and contemporary social issues, inviting viewers to engage in reflection and interpretation. With a background in architecture and influences from minimalist artists like Donald Judd and Agnes Martin, I challenge traditional practices through meticulous blending and layering techniques. Based in New York, I strive to expand abstract expression by exploring new methods that foster deep connections with viewers. My work serves as an invitation for contemplation, encouraging dialogue about identity and the human experience while celebrating the transformative power of art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I search for purpose in making, exploring latent communications and the tension between intended messages and hidden symbols. Rooted in personal experiences—loss, memory, and environment—my work spans various mediums, with photographic discourses central to my practice. Integrating traditional and contemporary techniques, I investigate the evolving nature of image-making and meaning. Through my process, I uncover double meanings—where the obvious and the profound, the banal and the exalted, coexist. Simple things become complex, and complex things become simple, depending on perspective. My focus shifts over time, from aesthetic qualities to the medium’s relationship with ideas. My inquiry explores identity through video, performance, and sculpture, drawing on Minimalism and Romanticism. The line between art and life is where boundaries blur, challenging interpretation. Meaning emerges in the tension between artist intent and observer perception.”</image:caption>

From the collective trauma of Covid through my involvement in birth work as a Doula and beyond my ever increasing frequency of Migraine I am being reminded that our point of power, personal and collective, is held within the honesty of our moments. Our Now. We leave breadcrumbs for those following. My art has beome an authentic statement of my every changing now, filled with fears (real and imagined), pain (chronic and seasonal), repressions and unimaginable growth. These pieces speak to my worsening migraine disease and the loss of my ability to continue with the things that have previously given my life immense balance and meaning. My balance issues have taken my yoga practice, my fatigue and neurological symptoms my ability to provide consistent support for birthing mommas.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In the stillness of the Louisiana wilderness, under the cloak of night, I photograph myself nude, entangled with nature. Using these photos as references, I explore self-portraiture with oil paint on large-scale canvases. As a woman shaped by the expectations placed upon the female body, my paintings are not a quest for superficial beauty, but rather a stark exploration of self. I deviate from my photo references, constructing imaginary, somewhat surreal landscapes that blur the boundaries between internal and external experience. My works encapsulate the viewer, forcing a confrontation between nature, autonomy, and identity. I reclaim the female form as a site of vulnerability but also power. Informed by ecofeminist thought, I explore the parallel exploitation of women and nature. My nudity is not an invitation but rather a declaration—an assertion of existence beyond societal expectations.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My recent work combines razzle dazzle camouflage with figure and portrait painting, I am exploring male identity, particularly queer male identity. Dazzle camouflage was used during WWI and later in WWII to paint Allied warships and planes to confuse German gunners. The disruptive technique, influenced by cubist patterning, was not intended to conceal but instead to make it difficult for gunners to estimate the target’s range, speed, and heading. This colorful experiment lasted only a short time before being abandoned with the development of sonar. Yet in its own unique way, dazzle camouflage functioned like queer signifiers in society: creating confusion, disrupting accepted norms, being illusive yet hiding in plain sight.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Art has taken precedence in my life since the time I could hold a pencil. Starting portrait commissions in elementary school, my love of the visual arts and dreams of being a professional artist only grew. Some of my inspirations include Dali, Kahlo, mental illness, eyes and the human form. I mainly work with acrylics and pencil, but upon request, I have used other mediums. The main message I try to convey, excluding commissions, is to think deeply about yourself and your surroundings. Open your mind.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Subhra likes to visualize emotion in his work, and weave a story with shapes, lines, and colors. He looks for the unexpected in the mundane, the interplay of light and shadow in form. He believes his visual art is a metaphor rather than a description. He grew up in Kolkata, India, among a myriad of colors, rhythms and verses and was deeply influenced by both eastern as well as western art and literature in his formative years. These images explore the human form through dramatic interplay of light against shadows. Each pose captures vulnerability and strength simultaneously—bodies in contemplation, introspection, and quiet revelation. The contrasting color palette creates an otherworldly atmosphere that transforms intimate moments into something transcendent. Through selective lighting and shadow, the work examines how we exist in spaces between exposure and concealment, revealing the poetry inherent in human solitude and self-reflection.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“These camera-less wet collodion (tintype) photograms on metal speak to our cultural and personal nostalgia for lost technologies’ cultural tropes such as the homemade cassette tape or the compact CD. This process – the wet collodion - reflects the subject matter by using an even older process to talk about process itself. The work centers on the disappearing methods of analog technology in populist and professional areas of various fields - music, photography, the sciences and even the home. Camera-less photography is often read as the ultimate rejection of the retinal image plane (and the camera’s ability to represent), questioning it as a language, emerging from 1970s conceptual work.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have spent a lifetime observing, researching, and making artwork about my passions: human diversity and the preservation of Mother Nature. Something as small as a fruit fly, a human head, or a winter landscape seen from the train as I travel between my studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large painting. I find joy in learning that the tiny eyelashes on some birds are modified feathers, the fruit fly has many body parts like our own, the bird’s nest in the yard holds fast in winds though porch furniture is in flight, and the shape of the human nose provides climate control and has adapted over generations. For the past fifteen years, I have created paintings that unite these passions. During this time, the number of endangered species has risen from 40,000 to over one million. The paintings often depict humanity monochromatically with the endangered species in full color because they are critically important to the fine balance of nature. All living beings are complex and sentient as scientists continue to discover. Colors are frequently placed next to their complement to show the strength of opposites while colorful grids represent images of DNA common to all life forms. Mother Nature is also used as a metaphor for women since many find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. With the planet suffering from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, pollution, poaching, and war, we must remedy what we have created through global partnership and individual commitment. I hope the viewer will internalize, reflect, and see the world that we have created. Within the work there is urgency but also an element of hope because we can all engage in the stewardship of Mother Nature while also respecting others of our own species.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Ever since I was little, I never understood why art had to stay in separate boxes. I get excited seeing how two colors mix into something completely new. Ballet lessons from my childhood still help me draw people in motion more naturally. Even familiar songs I have heard countless times feel new when I see them performed on stage, as watching them live evokes all my senses. These different art forms enrich the emotions and experiences, showing me that creativity is strongest when forms of expression inspire one another. I want to create art that encourages people to see things and relate in a new way. I’ve started adding movement and sound to my paintings, but I know there is more to learn. Each new project shows me how different combinations of materials can communicate emotions that are difficult to explain with words.”</image:caption>

In an attempt to start a career as an artist in Russia, she completely abandoned this idea for a business in another area. After escaping from her native country, she decided to start her creative work again and channel all those emotions experienced over the years into it. Her work is a reflection of political themes, relations between people, relations between men and women, the role of women in society, inner emotions, crises and endless questions about how difficult it is to feel like just a small grain of sand in this world. She performs her works in such styles as Figurative and Modern painting, Symbolism and Minimalism working only in acrylic medium.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my au plein air practice, I enjoy loading up the RV and traveling near and far to chase the light in inspiring places. Capturing a moment’s sunrise, a misty rain or the closing of a dusky day in pastels is my joy! Whether I am painting in an abstract style or realism, my work explores the relationship between form and formlessness. Art is all about cosmic questions for me. How long can the sea endure? How long have those mountains watched the valley? Where did that river originate and where is it going? How do all these aspects of nature manifest right here, right now? I consider plein air work, studio work, spiritual practice and everyday life as opportunities for personal growth and I do not draw distinctions between them as separate components. For me, making art is a path toward self-discovery, spiritual growth and intellectual enlightenment.”</image:caption>

It is a reference to the desire to disguise what we want to conceal from others - our fears, our fragility, facial expressions that give away our reactions to situations or persons. I am interested in the theme of carnival, commedia dell’arte, the Orient, but also the matters involving politics, religion, or hues of variety of landscapes. I combine a variety of media and techniques: traditional weaving, painting, assemblage. I encourage a discussion on various matters concerning the natural environment, emotions in both direct and indirect manner. My goal is to trigger imagination, and I welcome occasional subject ambiguity, leaving an opportunity for anyone to stumble upon a part of themselves. I enjoy experimenting with materials, I utilize fragments of used clothes, styrofoam, fabrics leftovers. I sew both by hand and with a sewing machine. My work includes tufting, experimenting with both 2D and 3D, emotions, sensory and tactile”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My deep connection to the process of trauma recovery work allows me to tell a story, one that speaks to the beauty which exists in healing. I primarily work in collage and mixed media. I use doll forms, wax, religious iconography, texts and imagery. Some are beautiful, some disturbing, but each speaks to a certain truth. The ability to overcome shame, stigma and guilt. My visual art often directly reflects my writing. In a sense, they nurture one another. Both are my means to explore trauma, sexuality, gender, and religion. Both are raw, immediate and honest. My goal is for my work to speak not just for me, but also for others who have found their way to new paths, reflecting a connection to what was or what could be.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I often think about existence. I often think about nature. I often think about death and life and silence. Birth, life, death, and rebirth. My art explores motifs and metaphors of who we are as people in a partnership with nature’s way of life. Accepting ourselves, our decisions, and our fate. Sometimes it can be difficult to put into words how I want my art to be perceived because of the heavy symbolism and metaphors I explore. I encapsulate my figures expression and existence in a relative silence. We all know what it feels like to be alone, we all know what it feels like to accept. My art stems from my personal connections to nature and the universe. Personifying my unanswered questions of who I am and where do I go. It is not confusion or sadness; it is a sense of relief and suspense when those answers may be revealed.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Motherhood is often portrayed as fulfilling and joyful - but what if the experience looks different? Between Us explores the unspoken complexities of early motherhood: the quiet isolation, heavy expectations, and emotions that remain hidden beneath the surface. Photographed from my baby’s perspective, this series captures a reality rarely acknowledged. In a society that romanticizes motherhood, Between Us confronts the coexistence of connection and disconnection, love and loneliness, presence and absence. Creating these images became a form of release, enabling me to face emotions rarely voiced, and to see myself as a mother, through my child's eyes - a perspective I struggled to find within.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My artistic practice can best be described as an exploration of temporality. I am influenced by poets Walt Whitman and A.E. Housman. The sourced photographs referenced in my art are black and white, suggesting a history of days that have passed. In my woodcut prints, I have added green pattern stencil overlays. My paintings include patterns enveloping figures, like peering behind grandmother’s peeling wallpaper, revealing a record of those once there. Passage of time is examined in these moments. I am investigating shared human experiences and relationships to their surroundings over the course of generations. Bicycles, birthdays, religious ceremonies, graduations, and weddings are all documented repeatedly. My multi-generational works of art are a collective journey through life. My work addresses and queries brief, seemingly heartening moments in time— delving into what appear to be photo-worthy joys, rites of passage, and simple contentment, which cumulatively represent an epoch.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a Georgia-based multimedia artist. My work often reflects growth whether it be subjective or representational. I often use themes of natural renewal in my printmaking to parallel the growth I gain as an artist through the act of creation and play; often utilizing techniques that aim to challenge my skill level. I then repurpose and transform these discards of education through alternative practices such as collage, sewing, and papermaking to give the visual information generated throughout the learning process a second life. I am deeply interested in our natural world and its renewability. I imply elements of material renewal, often foraging or recycling the mediums I'm working with, considering ideas of sustainability. I take these ideas of personal growth and depict them through landscape and plant abstraction, creating worlds of new life in destruction. I find these worlds to be a reflection of the trauma I have experienced in my life and how I have grown around it.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my formative years, I fell in love with the magic of light and chemistry of darkroom photography to create images of new worlds through experimental processes. I was inspired by modernists, admiring how they framed humble objects as majestic subjects. My work similarly reflects appreciation for the surfaces of everyday things. Moving to New York, the textures around me changed from the natural world to the concrete and spray paint of the city. Images in the Street Layers series are digital collages of graffiti and textures I’ve found traveling through urban landscapes. I pull images from different neighborhoods, experimenting with how they meld together. On the surface, the titles read as cross streets in NYC neighborhoods, but the titles represent new, liminal spaces that do not exist in physical reality. Preserving that which, by its nature, will be washed away, painted over, reconstructed, repaired, or torn down highlights the tension between holding on and letting go.”</image:caption>

Once through the Colorado Council of the Arts for my invention in printmaking. Then again, during the NEA 50th Anniversary, when they posted my work on their website, "ReArranging Denver," my zero waste organization's positive impact on my community. My recent invention in printmaking came out of death mask commissions, where an insufficient pour was unsuccessful sculpturally gave me the ideal do again in other face molds to create a raised surface to use as a plate for printing. The prints are monochromatic to allow the time of day or ambient lighting to change their values and colors.

      <image:caption>“I am a representational oil painter. I paint what I see. Painting for me is finding the solution. I simplify, depict what is necessary and leave out details that detract. I build my paintings from monochromatic to vivid color and contrast. My subjects are studio still life's, plein air landscapes and sailing vessels. I was born and raised in New Rochelle NY. My father was an artist and an advertising executive who had a strong influence on me and my art. My education includes art schools in New York and Philadelphia. I received my certificate from PAFA in 1976. I believe art is a universal language that adds value to the world. A visual dialogue that is eternal to all.”</image:caption>

He has lived and worked in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Rhode Island, Georgia, Mississippi, Wyoming, and Kansas. Using an iconography of nostalgic Americana, his art explores our connection to a bittersweet world of lost mythologies and faded reverie. Influenced by Pop, Expressionism, and the Surrealists, Flake’s paintings can be characterized as having a rich impasto of color and black and white mixed with earth tones. The paintings are often paired with sculptural works in wood, plaster, resin, concrete, or soap.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a Black folk artist, I try to capture everyday life using acrylic and watercolor. My journey began in 2017, and following my retirement from a military and professional career, I am now a full-time artist. My growth as an artist is fueled by a dedication to learning, collaborating with professional artists, and continually evolving my style to reflect modern sensibilities while staying true to my roots. Born in the US North and raised in the South, my art draws inspiration from sunsets and tranquil beaches of my childhood, while also reflecting the vibrant energy, and towering skylines of Northern cities. Grounded in a rich heritage and a profound reverence for the divine, my art explores themes of encouragement, spirituality, and Christian faith, conveying the presence of God in the world around us. These influences infuse my work with a dynamic sense of place and memory, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance of both natural, spiritual and urban scenes.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As an autodidactic artist, theologian, art historian, former special collections librarian/archivist, and service-connected disabled veteran who served as an US Army military police, I bring a diverse background to my work. My artistic inspiration, both in concept and execution, stems from my military experience and my subsequent studies of influential artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Albrecht Dürer, Bob Thompson, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Joseph Beuys. My artwork explores a broad spectrum of historical and contemporary religious, socio-political, and cultural issues, employing a distinctive blend of religious and secular iconography. This approach invites viewers to challenge and reflect on how we, as individuals and as a society, interpret and shape our understanding of the world and the information we encounter daily.”</image:caption>

She considers Giacometti, Vincent, Frida, Hilma Af Klint, Tascha Tudor, Bukowski, Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and RamDass to be of the highest inspiration. Artist Statement: The last few years my art has become a statement of the Present. From the collective trauma of Covid through my involvement in birth work as a doula and beyond my ever-increasing frequency of Migraine I am being reminded that our point of power, personal and collective, is held within the honesty of our moments. Our Now. We leave breadcrumbs for those following. My art has become an authentic statement of my every changing now, filled with fears (real and imagined), pain (chronic and seasonal), repressions and unimaginable growth.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Proverb from Tokushima As a painter and freestyle dancer, my work is driven by an appreciation for corporeal experience and its possibilities for expression. Heavily inspired by embodied cognition and the research of pioneers such as George Lakoff, I believe that bodily narrative and sensorial perceptions are responsible for how we conceive of and engage with every aspect of our lives. Cognition, emotionality, and the metaphors we live by are all married to our bodies. When creating visual stories, be it with brush or on the dancefloor, I strive to bridge the universal with my own psychosocial narratives. I aim to inspire viewers to consider how they ~wiggle~ through this life, and how seemingly isolating experiences may be vantage points for collective truths. I hope to peel away the divisive constructs we fashion around ourselves in order to reveal the shared patterns of experience and behavior at our core.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I try to capture beauty and sentiment wherever I find it. My lens is drawn to anything that brings me a strong feeling—positive or negative. I lean on other female artists for guidance and inspiration. Brooklyn-based architectural photographer Devon Banks provided crucial mentorship and insight for this series. Although the photos are very different in some ways, I like to think they all communicate something about the complexities of being young and female—both the desire to be seen and the discomfort of being looked at, the tension between a readiness to launch into the world and the urge to cling to what is familiar. There’s something achingly beautiful in that in-between space, where vulnerability and strength, yearning and hesitation, collide. Through these photos, I aim to explore that liminal state, capturing its fleeting intensity and subtle contradictions.”</image:caption>

My work addresses infinity as the succession of fleeting activities.Through my artwork, I convey that compassion is a meaningful solution to alleviating cravings. I focus on personal desires and suffering, and on people and things that are forced to suffer in order to satisfy the greed of others. Fear and disgust are also causes of suffering. I work to help people let go of negative emotions by finding new perspectives and turning negative emotions into positive ones.I am continuously examining the difference between art and craft and the potential of craft as an artistic expression. I pursue innovative art without being bound by preconceived notions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Yudan Ding (Yuna) is a London-based artist working across illustration, soft sculpture, and 3D visual media. Her practice explores bodily perception, emotional structure, and the subtle power dynamics within intimate relationships. Drawing from everyday life, she captures moments of psychological tension and quiet transformation. As a mother of a nine-year-old, Yuna embraces motherhood not as separate from her art, but as an integral, nourishing part of it. A rhythm of patience, listening, and repair flows through her visual language. Intuitively drawn to soft, flexible materials, she gives form to emotions and experiences that are often difficult to articulate—misunderstood feelings, shifting roles, and a blurred sense of self. Yuna’s work does not aim to explain. Instead, she creates spaces of quiet resonance, where viewers can encounter tenderness, discomfort, and recognition. Beneath her gentle aesthetic lies a sharp, persistent inquiry: Who am I, and how can I exist within and beyond these roles?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a painter inspired by the environments around me. The observation of nature has been a daily practice of awareness for me for as long as I can remember. Many of my images that I translate to a substrate are based on my experiences which I consider as a communion with the sublime. Most of my work is based in oil, but I also like to experiment with combinations of many mediums, including iridescent and acrylic inks, and cold wax. Not only content on conveying a sense of place to the viewer, but I am creating what I hope, is an attempt to connect one with the beauty of the everyday. To experience the quiet, and to evoke healing. I am very concerned with our environment, but more specifically with our relationship with the environment. If upon viewing my work, there is a sense of awe noted by observer, a desire to be a witness to natural phenomena, a moment for a pause, then I have done my job as an artist who loves this earth so much.”</image:caption>

My collages record my feelings, dreams, places and things that I love and remember. I wish to build a bridge between traditions that have been lost. And how I interpret the use of materials achieved through color, texture and scale that are often subtle and varied. Drawing from elements as diverse as vegetable papyrus, flowers, brass, copper, aluminum, gold and silver leaf, taken together, transmute to reflect polarities of struggle and transcendence.”</image:caption>

Gonzalo took it up as well, wanting to impress him. He would then fall in love with it as he learned more about the craft and what could be done with it. He recently received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art from Valdosta State University. Growing up in the United States, Gonzalo has experienced firsthand the negative effects capitalism has had on America and highlights them through his art. Gonzalo is Mexican-American and being a Latino also comes with its own experiences and he likes to share his own, whether they be pleasant or bitter.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have dabbled with art and creativity from an early age. As a teen I made my first attempts in painting, using big cardboard layouts, oils and acrylics to experiment with portraying movement and colors. Born and raised in Jerusalem, I studied graphic design in the city’s Academy of Arts and Design, “Bezalel”, earning a B.A. in Visual Communications. Working at a prominent newspaper and several graphic design studios, my true passion was to paint, and I never stopped exploring and experimenting the assembly of colors and movement on the canvas. Paul Gauguin said: “I shut my eyes in order to see”. That is the temper with which I approach the painting process. I let an emotional or contemplative trigger guide me in facing the canvas, organizing colors and brush sizes according to what it is I feel a need to express in color and form, and using them by flow of consciousness, letting myself be guided by intuition.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sarah has loved to draw, paint, and make things for as long as she can remember. One of seven children, she grew up in a creative and buzzing household. Homeschooled through most of her childhood, Sarah had a unique introduction to art through her teachers who were painting majors attending a nearby university. Although she intended to major in painting at RISD, Sarah followed an unexpected calling toward textiles. She was drawn to the tactile, timeless nature of the craft which involved spinning yarn, weaving, dyeing, and printing on fabric. Her experience in textile design continues to shape her understanding of how art, craft, and design can intersect. Yet painting has remained a constant. Through the years, her aesthetic evolved, eventually drawing her with full force into her current practice of abstract painting. Departing from the traditional practice of painting on primed canvas, Sarah chose to leave the raw canvas exposed- a decision rooted in her love for textiles and a desire to honor the woven texture as an integral, visible element of the work. Another departure from tradition was utilizing watercolor techniques with acrylic paint. This approach resulted in a more translucent, fluid effect, in contrast to the typically opaque, flatter appearance of acrylics. Through trial and exploration, Sarah eventually discovered a rhythm in her process, culminating in the fluid, abstract compositions showcased in her work. Sarah loves to paint with her daughter, Eloise. In addition to making art and pursuing numerous craft projects, they love long and chatty walks, picnicking, and dancing with hula hoops.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I wander through an undefined space, unsure whether I am inside or outside. People around me are also drifting. This place has no landmarks to indicate where we are, yet everyone strides forward with confidence, as if they know their destination.What time is it now? I can't even tell if this is a dream or reality. Dreams feel like reality, and reality feels like a dream. I believe that everyone carries at least one seed of anxiety in their lives, yet here, such anxiety seems nonexistent. I seem to have already arrived in a space where all boundaries—between life and death, the formal lines that divide nations, and the social distinctions between men and women—have blurred with the passage of time. After breathing a sigh of relief, I begin to drift once more, stepping onto another border.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The work I create is inspired by organic forms; their contour, color, and habits and ranges from abstract to slightly representational. My ideas come from two different reference points; my work as a gardener, and experience as a printmaker and surface designer. I think a lot about patterns, filagree, topography, layers, and silhouettes. For as long as I can remember, observation and experimentation have been my métier. Continually surrounded as a child by skilled artisans, designers and their materials, I developed my own unique skills founded in experimentation. My work on paper and sculpture are created by using a variety of mediums and techniques that might be found in a flower shop or print studio. I use acrylic inks and gouache to paint amorphous designs and layered patterns. I take and use photographs and collected ephemera to create intricate collage. It is not uncommon for my two- dimensional ideas to grow outside of their confines, and transfigure into three-dimensional sculpture made of thoughtfully selected natural and found elements, held together using techniques such as wiring, stitching, layering, weaving, folding, and entangling. These sculptural orchestrations range in size, complexity, and dimension and frequently reflect organic forms.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Being an artist for most of my lifetime, I have enjoyed the journey to find my style and mediums of choice. Dabbling in the fine arts from painting, sculpture, and collage, I found myself working with recycled materials. I had worked with cardboard as a supporting design element many times and increasingly fell in love with how versatile it was. I am fascinated by texture, and incorporating colored cardboard into various pieces. I took tedious steps to ensure that my pieces were accurate in size and appearance. During the process I found that the areas that I took artistic license on to be the most satisfying. My hope is that my pieces bring joy to anyone who sees them and hopefully a double take when they realize it is made of cardboard. Each piece contains at least one other hidden embellishment that is not cardboard. This is my distinguishing mark. I continue to find my path and it is lined with cardboard.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When I look at a clean canvas the excitement rises in me, akin to an author beginning to tell a story, a composer creating a symphony. After 30 years as an Architectural designer, in 2000, I began a long delayed passion, painting. I was fortunate to have had great opportunities &amp; many solo shows on the Monterey Peninsula, San Francisco and in Amsterdam. In 2019, a gallery in Madrid asked to represent my work. Since 2019, I am now represented in Madrid at: Galeria Fuentenebro. In Carmel by the Sea, CA. Since 2017, I am represented at: The American Art Gallery. I now have private collectors in eighteen states in the USA and in five countries in Europe. My great inspiration is the sea. I walk the beach daily and see the forms and changing colors of the sky, the sand, the rocks and the water. I am awed by the Abstract Expressionists who opened the world to a new style of painting; primarily Franz Kline, de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Words contextualize the world we live in, but colors provide an avenue to examine and interpret these perspectives. I am an abstract oil painter who explores the interplay of color, texture, shadows, light, and tone to create colorful, abstract worlds that challenge our perceptions of reality. Inspired by the power of words, particularly poetry, I translate narratives into visual language, using color as a tool to examine and reinterpret human experiences. Fascinated by the complexities of relationships and how they shape our understanding of ourselves, I use abstract forms and color to challenge conventional notions of beauty, love, and communication. My goal is to provide these colorful new worlds that transcend the limitations of words and invite viewers to engage in a profound exploration of human experience and existence.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“These days, “watching the fireworks” has come to mean a great deal more to me than it did earlier in my life. When I was younger, the local football stadium rested below a sky filled with noise and color, and I waited excitedly each summer for the experience. Fireworks are stunning displays to sit back and watch on their own, but a new way to appreciate them emerges from my interaction. I’m drawn to the craft because it’s my motion in collaboration with the expanse of light painting the sky that creates something new – something frozen in time and unanticipated. People often tell me that my works look like underwater scenes, like neurons, dreamscapes, or simply like nothing they have ever seen before. I can only agree with each and every one of them. My foremost goal is to add some beauty to the world, and to remind myself and others that even in the most ephemeral, dazzling moments, there are always ways to capture that feeling and make it your own to keep.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Through the intricate lines and textures of etching, I strive to convey my thoughts and impressions of the world. My graphic art often resembles a riddle or a mystery, inviting viewers to "read" the narrative behind each piece, much like unfolding the pages of a book. Working across a variety of genres, my creations reflect my mood and psychological state at the time of their conception, spanning a spectrum from irony and humor to seriousness and introspection. Details hold a special place in my work; they serve as keys to the stories I tell. Each element invites the viewer to join me on a journey of exploration, uncovering the hidden layers of meaning woven into the fabric of my art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Born in the industrial landscapes of a steel town in Western Pennsylvania, my journey as an artist has been shaped by the gritty resilience of my surroundings and the expansive realms of imagination. My work delves into the world of automatic surrealism, where unconscious images, thoughts and emotions materialize into tangible forms. Trained as an organizer, educator, and art docent, and armed with three college degrees, I have woven together diverse disciplines and experiences to forge an artistic voice. I started my art practice full time in 2012. My primary mediums are clay, ink, and acrylic, which allow me to explore the tension among fluidity, structure, and perspective. Through sculpture and painting, I seek to capture the elusive, often contradictory and ambiguous, nature of human experience, drawing viewers into a dialogue with their own subconscious. My art is a continuous exploration of the unknown, an invitation to step beyond the boundaries of the familiar.” Website: http://Amazonzahava.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Whether paintings, prints or drawings/gouaches, my work always centers on the use of the human body as an expressive tool. This is a natural extension of both studying and teaching figure drawing for many years, but also underlies humanistic themes in my content, which often address such ideas as power imbalances, relationships and our existence in nature. Thus the structure of the body, still or in motion, serves as the building block of my compositions, and even my landscapes are conceptualized in terms of bodies or body parts, as in many early creation myths, with clouds, for instance, acting as a kind of Greek Chorus to the figurative narrative. For me, every painting, print and drawing is an essential means of emotionally and intellectually understanding the confusion and tragedy of the world via narrative re-telling, or, visually speaking, a re-composing. It’s an idea that again, goes back to classical art and poetry and centuries old stories of creation.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Many images of Africans that we see in the media of advanced economies are based on negative stereotypes of people devastated by poverty, disease, and war; they depict people who come from places which are viewed as wild and dangerous. Such representation results in a distorted vision of an entire continent of people with diverse languages, cultures, and circumstances. These representations tend to limit our understanding of the very humanity of African people. Through resisting these two-dimensional characterizations, I aspire to create images that better express and document what I have personally seen and experienced over many years. I have volunteered, worked, and traveled in fourteen African countries off &amp; on since the 1990's. African people especially the children are my inspiration to create the work I want to share as widely as possible. My goal is to promote and inspire photography which offers a more insightful representation of African people than media typically portray.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’ve formed deep connections to specific places in nature during each era of my life in the coast of Southern California, deciduous forests of Iowa, and mountains of Colorado. Returning to these places countless times over the years, I see them through the lens of remembered past selves walking the same paths. I paint these landscapes on location and in the studio using various combinations of watercolor, ink, drawing media, and oil paint, while often applying the paint using found organic materials such as sticks and leaves as brushes. As I create numerous representational studies and abstract textures, I tear and reassemble them into larger fragmented compositions, repurposing the leftover scraps in accumulated textures. This process echoes cycles of nature while emphasizing the fragility of these environments amid growing human impact.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“For years, I wrestled with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the weight of expectations. Art became my sanctuary, a place where I could quiet the inner critics and embrace my truth. Through bold compositions and expressive mark-making, I reclaim joy, strength, and the power of self-expression. My art is also an exploration of resilience, transformation, and the freedom to be unapologetically authentic. Rooted in emotion and intuition, my process begins with color, movement, and layered textures—each piece unfolding organically to reveal deeper narratives. I draw inspiration from personal experiences, nature, and the human spirit, blending abstraction with representation to evoke connection and reflection. At its core, my work is an invitation—to step into the unknown, to release what no longer serves us, and to celebrate the beauty of becoming. It is a reflection of my own journey, but more importantly, it is a mirror for others to see themselves in new and empowering ways.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my photography, I am trying to examine an intimate view of an object rather than the grand thing we see daily without dwelling on it. We often fail to see something because it is so familiar and has become mundane, and ceased being a thing of enchantment. These intimate bits, when we are presented with them, seem often to become an abstraction and we must sometimes wonder how we missed it. Much of my work can be described as minimalist or as an abstraction. The size of the subject is not relevant to my seeing it and interpreting it: tiny or not. That idea may apply even when I am walking in a very big place. White Sands comes to mind: a vast landscape that can be described with just lines of two or three monochrome colors. That is all that is needed to tell it's story, nothing extraneous need be seen. I do not search for these, I walk city streets or wilderness paths, and see the patterns, textures, colors that present themselves as mystery.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am inspired by interior to exterior views, or vice versa. This helps me conceptually, as well as artistically, gain a “bigger picture” on both perceptual and environmental changes. I am interested in posing questions about the constructed boundaries between the outside world and inside world. Where are the boundaries? What sensations do we associate with the spaces in between? How do we envision our surroundings, and are those visions changing? I am also exploring the passage of time as we move through our landscapes. I hope the artwork provokes thoughts regarding our changing perspectives on, and from within, our environments.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I find myself seeking liminal space: between many art forms and mediums, between poetry and painting, between macro and micro, between reality and invention. My paint flows between hard and soft edges, thick and thin paint, blended and rough textures. The soundtrack to my meditation is the scratch of an etching needle on an intaglio plate, or the sound of my carving tools being sharpened before I begin a new block. My curiosity as an artist branches into many different mediums and I embrace that. The transformative power of imagination is at the heart of my work. Art-making has helped me to better understand myself, to explore my own stories, and to put my experiences of trauma into a new context. It has helped me to heal. In the space of paper or canvas and with ink, paint, or pen the things that have hurt me become manageable. In that space I have the power to transform, to exorcise pigment into something new.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work focuses on architecture, which, due to my family’s involvement in real estate, has always had a significant influence on me. Through this lens, my work explores a range of subjects from personal experience and the concept of home to human habitats and our relationships with our surroundings. Featuring architectural scenes cast in glass, my work seeks to merge elements from the past with concepts from fiction and the imagination, creating playful moments in lieu of traditional renditions. I’m drawn to imagery that evokes a sense of arrival and leaving, implicitly asking, “Where are we going?” I celebrate color, texture, and beauty through ancient ruins, doors, windows, blueprints, lighthouses, ships, and other symbols tied to my New England roots.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art is an expression of my creative impulse, a process of exploration and discovery that brings me into a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. Through the act of arranging items and experimenting with brushstrokes and paint, I enter a state of flow where thoughts and emotions emerge and find their place in the visual language of my work. For me, the act of creating art is a form of meditation, a way of engaging with the present moment and channeling my innermost thoughts and feelings. I am fascinated by the interplay of color, form, and composition, and how these elements can be used to create a sense of depth, movement, and balance. Whether through the use of symbolism, abstraction, or figurative representation, I hope to create art that invites viewers to engage with the mystery and beauty of the world around us.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I often feel overwhelmed with the degree of connectedness that exists in our modern world, and need time to react to what I experience. I find comfort in the Midwestern landscape, and use scenes from my daily life as backgrounds for thoughts and events that affect all of us. Episodes of blatant racism, misogyny, and wealth bias occupy a large portion of my brain, and creating is the only way to work through all the things that are brought up. Using photos as reference and the environment around me for inspiration, I take time to carefully arrange realistic painting with layered collaged elements. I return to certain scenes and events over and over, studying it from every angle and decision. My life has been full of the unexpected, and while I muddle through, I study and analyze everything. This often leads me down paths I dwell on for months or years at a time.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I love creating Art to honor Mother Earths beauty by painting landscapes in a variety of styles and colors, varying from abstract realism to whimsical or ethereal spiritual perceptions. My love for all animals, especially those that are endangered or abused/abandoned, I will create them and give the paintings a personified interpretation of how I see them. Gentle, magical creatures. I enjoy using bright colors and utilize Posca Pens with my Acrylic as a standard now. As I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis that affects my ability to have a steady hand, I’ve needed to adapt and find new mediums and a style that works with my disabilities. I also have permanent damage to my spine from degenerative diseases and have had 7 spinal surgeries. Art to me is very healing, and I utilize it close to daily as it can transport me to a place outside time and space where I can forget about my pain for a few hours.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My soul’s need to create art comes from my parents love of travel via RV. When me and my brothers were younger, we believed that the road trip was a part of the journey that you can’t get from a plane. We would sit and watch the landscape go by, as this was our Television. No reruns to watch, just magical views to ignite my child’s imagination insisting that my mind wander. The road trips recharge my soul and fuel my creativity that I share with the world in art. A few selected images will go on to be a part of my award-winning Photozaics. They are inspired where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. The technique is a labor-intensive multi step process that starts out with my journey into nature; recording the landscapes that I spark my eye. Print the selected images and match up stained glass colors. Glass is cut by hand and assembled the frame. Grouting finishes the artwork.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As an intuitive, abstract artist, my work is an exploration of the unseen and the felt, an attempt to translate the vibrations and frequencies that shape our existence into visual form. I believe that every element in the universe—whether animate or inanimate—is bound by energy, and it is this energy that guides my creative process. My art seeks to elevate the spirit, to capture the subtle currents that flow through us and around us, and to express the profound connection between our inner worlds and the greater cosmos. Drawing from my personal journey of spiritual growth, I approach each piece with an open heart and a receptive mind, allowing my intuition to lead the way. The strokes, shapes, and colors I use are not just choices but rather responses to the energy I feel in the moment. Each work is a reflection of my own transformation and an invitation to others to engage with their own frequencies, encouraging them to attune to higher vibrations.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Light Echoes is a contemplative photography project in which I take photos in my community and collage them digitally to create new meaning and understanding of where I have been. A light echo can occur when starlight reflects off interstellar material and becomes visible on Earth at different times. Astronomers “collage” snapshots of the sky over time to get more complete information. In a similar way, the final images I create are light echoes of my own past. They are made up of things that were illuminating to me in that particular moment, most often concrete, rusted metal, and disused equipment. Objects and scenes that countless others pass by every day. Light Echoes is also a model for a contemplative art practice that can be done by anyone, either visually or audibly, without the need for special tools or training. These selected works from Light Echoes speak to the heat and the solitude found during the intense southern Arizona summers.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I was born in 1979 in Quincy, Massachusetts, and started painting seriously in 2006. Over the years, I’ve been drawn to all kinds of modern and contemporary artists—people working across different movements and mediums. Music and literature are big sources of inspiration for me too, and they find their way into the work in all sorts of ways. When I’m painting, I stop when I feel that something has happened. It’s not a big moment, and it doesn’t mean the work suddenly has a power all its own—that’s rare. It’s just a quiet sense that something is now working that wasn’t before. I’ve learned that pushing past that point often destroys the piece. I’ve thrown out plenty of works because of that. I end up too far out and can’t get back, so I start trying to recreate what I already had. Really, it’s about recognizing when I’ve reached that point and finding a way to be content enough to stop.”</image:caption>

Really face nature directly Working seamlessly with nature Let nature be my unlimited medium The diversity of stones in nature creates patterns that cannot be copied and re-pasted. The series of paintings is so unique Cannot be copied and replaced by programmed AI The artist's creativity and nature reap bright gifts from this time and space that merges with each other. extremely precious It also proves the incomparably beautiful realm that AI cannot reach. I would like to use this series of works to convey that the form of art painting should retain the independent creative thinking ability of artists and the preciousness of our unique existence as painters that cannot be replaced by AI.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“For the past sixteen years I have discovered that I can enjoy the process of acrylic painting as well as the final product while not feeling as though I had missed attaining a certain standard of technical skill or mastery of materials. Over the past several years my style has changed but not my intent, love of expressing my imagination, or my interpretation of nature. As I have worked more in abstract and non-objective subject matter, I have enjoyed making the compositions look good and visually interesting while not dwelling on making the subject matter look right as I had been doing in my previous watercolor experience. Acrylic painting has given me more freedom to create whatever I want--with or without subject matter—expressionistic or tightly controlled--ambiguous or obvious—familiar or innovative. The strength of my abstract or non-objective acrylic paintings relies on my personal voice and how well I use the elements and principles of design in the compositions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>An incoming senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Philadelphia native, Anna Falk is a two-dimensional visual artist working primarily with water- and oil-based media, creating figurative paintings that explore abstraction within the human form. Her work investigates the complexities of femininity, form, and the distortion of memory, aiming to reflect the dualities of womanhood; the inherent beauty and the pain, subconscious shield of strength to hide shifting vulnerabilities. Figures often emerge and dissolve throughout these illustrative pieces, echoing the ways in which memory morphs and withers over time. Falk's atmospheric application invites viewers into a space that feels both familiar and foreign.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am an artist living and working in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with my two sons, August and Henry, wife, Maggie, and my dog. I work out of my barn studio where I’m often inspired by the rural landscape right out front. I was fortunate enough to study at Temple's Tyler School of Art on both their Philadelphia and Rome, Italy campuses and in 2010, I received my BFA. Currently, I hold a Master's of Art Education at Millersville University while joyfully employed as a High School Art Educator at J.P. McCaskey High School. As an artist, I work to document the landscapes that surround me through direct observation painting, drawing and enjoying everyday life through the wonders of nature. My artwork is an opportunity to learn more about my natural surroundings - an expression of my interaction with nature not only as an observer but as a humble participant.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a painter inspired by the environments around me. The observation of nature has been a daily practice of awareness for me for as long as I can remember. Many of my images that I translate to a substrate are based on my experiences which I consider as a communion with the sublime. Most of my work is based in oil, but I also like to experiment with combinations of many mediums, including iridescent and acrylic inks, and cold wax. Not only content on conveying a sense of place to the viewer, but I am creating what I hope, is an attempt to connect one with the beauty of the everyday. To experience the quiet, and to evoke healing. I am very concerned with our environment, but more specifically with our relationship with the environment. If upon viewing my work, there is a sense of awe noted by observer, a desire to be a witness to natural phenomena, a moment for a pause, then I have done my job as an artist who loves this earth so much.”</image:caption>

I am particularly interested in the town’s history and its role in the production of atomic weapons. In the post-Cold War era, it became the site of a massive environmental cleanup—a history that formed the backdrop of my youth and shaped my personal narrative. My work reflects on this complex legacy, blending serious inquiry with sardonic commentary.”</image:caption>

I live homogenously but think and behave erratically. I am not an especially emotional artist and strive to relegate emotion to the sideline.

      <image:caption>Robert T. Rogers is a multidisciplinary artist focused on contemporary views of mental health and spirituality. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, he highlights the importance of aligning with one's values to boost motivation and manage moods and emotions. Influenced by Christian ethics, Rogers uses various mediums like oil painting, drawing, photography, and text to create multilayered projects that reflect the complexity of his subjects. His oil paintings emphasize mark-making and explore color, shape, and gesture to convey emotions. He aims for an immersive experience that connects his experiences with the viewer's. Central to Rogers’ practice is subconscious painting and intuitive decision-making, often working directly on the floor. He references Western Christianity symbolically.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My paintings are a remembrance and reimagining of my childhood Victorian home and thus of the meaning of home. I employ architecture, antique objects and portraiture to create imaginative compositions with a narrative quality. Nouveau tiles from my current home, vintage neckties, heating grates and distinctive furniture are all employed for their patterns, design, and nostalgic qualities. The viewer can use these environments to create their own domestic pasts and presents. In my work, my youthful home is a space where objects float and oceans and sky invade interior spaces in a dreamlike setting that is both comforting and disquieting. I build distinct visual landscapes to connect my own inner life with that of viewers. You can return home, but those familiar places are always changing. The spaces we have lived in haunt us, so we revisit and remake them all our lives.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“‘Art is selective re-creation of reality’ Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead. The best way of expressing yourself, your inner I, your thoughts, your beliefs, your values, your worries, your feelings, your hopes, your fears, your love, your hate, your soul, your everything is with art. Any kind, any form of art, just find the one that best matches you. I adore painting, especially with watercolor and ink (sepia). In particular, I enjoy the process of my mini-re-creation, which for me is actually more a discovery, because watercolor is something relatively new to me. I admire the delicacy, the ethereality and the transparency of aquarelle. I look at a watercolor painting as a breathing, mystical creature that wants to be discovered. I love architecture, especially Gothic style and I paint mostly cathedrals and churches with watercolors and ink. I admire the human genius, soul, and patience. For me, painting architecture in watercolor is the best way to combine my two passions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work references the 19th century landscape tradition to address contemporary ecological concerns and humanities disconnect from the environment. The Hudson River School has the most direct influence on what I am painting; we may think of their works as quaint or picturesque but they were made to persuade the public to slow down “The axe of civilization”. I visit the areas my forebears succeeded in protecting and draw attention to the mess we are making of them. By emphasizing the physicality of the medium, I endeavor to establish how these places feel to me in both a physical and empathetic sense. I have a deep love for the environment in all of its varieties which is why my compositions focus on the condition I find the landscape in. Litter and other forms of pollution heavily taint many of the parks and rivers I have seen. Highlighting these occurrences brings this tension back to the galleries for a broader experience to consider.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bethany Sebin Hwang is a Korean artist based in Pittsburgh, PA, pursuing a BFA in Fine Arts with a minor in Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University. Her practice is rooted in the philosophy of deconstruction and wabi-sabi, celebrating impermanence. She is drawn to exploring traces of absence. She constructs environments that balance the edge of memory and time through painting and ceramics. By doing so, she presents complex scenes that cannot be defined in a single frame. In both painting and sculpture, she allows imperfections and unspoken traces to reveal themselves and offers a dialogue between what once was and what it is now. Her work is a living reminder of what once was—a testament to the subtle allure of passing time, inviting viewers to wallow in its inherent beauty.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My artistic practice centers on exploring the liminal spaces between the seen and unseen, the known and the unknown. I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and mystery about the hidden realms that exist beyond the veil of ordinary perception. In my "Ancient Cities" series, I depict fantastical urban landscapes suspended in otherworldly dimensions. Meticulously rendered details create a tangible sense of architectural forms, while the hazy, edges blur the boundary between reality and the unseen. These works invite viewers to ponder the stories and secrets contained within these forgotten places, where the normal rules of time and space no longer apply.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a contemporary colorist and landscape painter, I am driven by a passion for reimagining the natural world through vivid, transformative palettes. My artistic philosophy centers on the belief that color is an emotional language—a way to bridge the gap between the physical and the ephemeral. Inspired by Fauvism and influenced by the works of Van Gogh, my paintings seek to evoke the energy and emotion of a moment rather than a literal depiction. Through vibrant, altered colors and layered textures, I aim to create landscapes that feel alive and illuminated, much like stained glass catching and refracting the light. My process begins in nature, where I gather inspiration from light, atmosphere, and the interplay of colors in the environment. Painting en plein air allows me to immerse myself in the scene and respond instinctively to shifting moods. By layering India ink and oil paint, I create a stained-glass effect that illuminates the landscape in new and unexpected ways.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As an artist working in fiber and mixed media, themes of memory and emotion, particularly the female experience, take center stage. My art reflects personal and collective memories and serves as vessels of emotion, with humor and sarcasm occasionally peeking through. I strive to create a conversation between the viewer and the emotions embedded in the fibers and materials. A profound appreciation for fibers, traditionally associated with female artisanship, evokes a sense of heritage and continuity. I incorporate found or created objects, challenging conventional uses of these materials. This experimentation blends the old with the new, the personal with the universal This mix aims to evoke a sense of connection, inviting viewers to explore their own memories and feelings. The juxtaposition of soft fibers with unexpected materials mirrors the complex and multifaceted nature of experiences—where softness and resilience coexist, and where the past and present intertwine.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Over the past 30 years I have collaborated on over 100 film projects as a Director of Photography. I have relied on the alchemy of sciences, history, and technical skills funneled through a lens to distil visual order out of the emotional narratives set before me. As a mixed-media artist, I’m using the same creative alchemy to explore an even more intricate story I observe playing out on our natural stage. My work celebrates nature’s unbounded spaces by distilling the basic elements of line, color and texture from the west coast landscapes around me. My intent is to capture the pondering presence we get from nature, not as it appears but as it feels to experience: incomprehensible, indescribable, and often very chaotic. Unconventionally constructed with various colored fibers, metal foils, and glass tile, my painted canvases express the same underlying concept that I strive for as a cinematographer; Poetic narratives with kinetic energy.”</image:caption>

In our bustling world, many forget to slow down and feel the therapeutic effects of, not just nature, but the entire world around them. As a highly intuitive person, I have found that through deeper observation and careful attention to the details, I am able to capture grand scenes as well as the minute elements that reveal the often missed emotional spirit of a location. The world speaks to us and supports us, we are part of it, and my work translates this message but also inspires those who view it to pay closer attention to the magic of the world around them.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Inspired by quilting's rich heritage, I celebrate the organic creative process. I find inspiration in colors, patterns, and textiles. Each quilt is a unique expression, reflecting the ever-changing world. I gather fabrics, buttons, and beads from antique malls, thrift shops, and flea markets. These elements, each with its own history, become the building blocks of my work. I spread them on my work table, intuitively moving them until a harmonious composition emerges. Once a design takes shape, I employ traditional quilting techniques of piecing together patterns. These time-honored techniques provide a solid foundation for my work, allowing me to explore both traditional and contemporary aesthetics. I further enhance the visual impact of my quilts through embellishment. By adding beads, buttons, and other decorative elements, I create layers of texture and depth. Each final quilt is a unique expression of my artistic vision, a tangible manifestation of my thoughts and feelings.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a fine artist specializing in abstract portraiture, my work is a deeply personal exploration of human connection. Each portrait I create is rooted in the reality of the people I know, yet it transcends the physical to capture the essence of how I perceive their energy. The abstraction in my work is my attempt to encapsulate a multidimensional moment of emotion—a fleeting, yet profound, expression of the human spirit. Kindness and inclusion are the cornerstones of my practice. I strive to create beauty that challenges the viewer, inviting them to engage with what they see on a deeper level. My hope is that in recognizing the emotions conveyed in my work, viewers might also recognize these feelings within themselves. Through my art, I subtly underscore the shared traits that bind us together while highlighting the unique individuality of each subject. In this way, my portraits are not just depictions of others, but reflections of my own journey as an artist and a person.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am an eclectic artist who derives inspiration from everywhere, but mostly through nature. The power of a sunset is timeless. Sunsets are nature's way of anchoring one in the present moment, and every so often I feel compelled to convey the resulting sense of awe by texturizing the canvas. Brief impasto techniques and expressive gestures aim to emphasize the sky and its myriad, irreproducible forms. I approach art from an expressive perspective, prioritizing authentic style over strictly realistic representation. My digital compositions expand on this naive attitude by incorporating bold color and collage-like textures in the work. In a more abstract sense, I derive inspiration from East Asian art and philosophy, both which inform the work in some type of way.”</image:caption>

I have a camera. I look into the camera and take pictures." My process often involves discovered art wherein I have no plans and look for locations that draw me in with their personalities or untold stories. Often these are subject or objects that many simply pass by, so seemingly common scenes they are. For me, they are small worlds in themselves, and I try to compose them so that they exude newness, a discovery by the viewer as if for the first time.”</image:caption>

Through vibrant colors and close-up perspectives, I aim to reveal the elegance inherent in the natural world, particularly in flowers. Each piece serves as a reminder of the tranquility and wonder that can be found in everyday surroundings. My fascination with nature stems from a desire to connect viewers with the simplicity and complexity of life. I draw inspiration from the interplay of light and shadow, the subtle variations in color, and the unique textures that characterize each subject. This exploration invites a moment of pause, encouraging an appreciation for the beauty that exists in the small things.”</image:caption>

My subjects range from flowers and fruit to animals and people—anything that captures my eye, feels alive and vibrant. Working primarily in watercolor because it allows me to express softness, transparency, and spontaneity, and with acrylics for the freedom to build texture. I seek the calm precision of a realistic portrait or still life but allow myself to enjoy the movement and unpredictability of abstract, flowing forms. Whether through the curve of a petal, the glint in an animal’s eye, or the energy of a bold brushstroke, I aim to capture the emotion of my subject and invite the viewer into that experience.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m an interdisciplinary artist practicing with a traditional mark making at the intersection of historical and contemporary creative technologies. I’m currently exploring themes of micro-expressions, remembrance, and mystery - through drawing, painting, and printmaking. The series titled "Why when I’m talking about you I’m talking about everything" are monochromatic paintings, and intaglio prints that draw from my research in critical studies and phenomenology, specifically Roland Barthes "Camera Lucia" and "The Poetics of Space" by Gaston Bachelard. Each work - depictions of places; nature, fountains, and paths - are invitations to our primordial memory of the tree and the mysteries of the cycles of life.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Sometimes We Wait Alone - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I have long been interested in how groups of strangers can stand in line, quietly, waiting their turn. People wait in line, sometimes without even being told to. They just know. Most people just mind their own business and wait. Somewhere between here and there, everyone on their own journey. And yet everybody is connected by the commonality they share in the act of waiting together. Individually and collectively. These paintings “Sometimes We Wait Alone 1 &amp; 2” and “Sometimes We Wait Together” (2025), started as a sketchbook drawings on February 22, 2003 at Penn Station in New York City. They show the relative calm of people keeping to themselves while waiting in a crowd. The air is filled with the din of fellow waiters, waiting. Everyone is together. Everyone is in their own zone. Everyone is waiting. These drawings waited decades to find their way to canvas.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Zorg (Yifan Jing) is a London-based visual artist with a background in Illustration from Goldsmiths, University of London. His interdisciplinary practice is grounded in field research and explores the politics of migration, cultural symbolism, and ecological transformation through drawing and digital media. Blending traditional techniques with archival materials, Zorg works at the intersection of observation and speculation. His projects often unfold through slow, immersive engagements with place—such as tracing the southward migration of Asian elephants in Yunnan or mapping multi-ethnic iconographies in East London. Drawing for Zorg is not just a representational tool, but a relational and investigative method that reflects on how images shape, disrupt, and reconfigure our understanding of space and belonging."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I create deeply personal art as a way to express who I am and what I feel. My work aims to evoke emotion and thought, as I encourage viewers to form their own interpretations. I enjoy making unconventional, thought-provoking pieces that resonate with me and are true to my style. A major theme in my work is femininity, which I express through neutral pinks, lace, and ribbons. Being a woman is something I cherish, and I use these elements in my pieces to celebrate and empower. I often depict deer as symbols of peace, grace, and gentleness—traits I associate with womanhood and myself. Deer skulls also appear in my work, symbolizing not death, but rebirth, to represent my journey of overcoming mental health struggles. This contrast between beauty and darkness reflects my past and present. I aim to create based on emotion and creativity. Art is my way of connecting with myself and others, while creating something meaningful and beautiful.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Three things want a frame to give them structure: a painting, a story, and a window. It is where you start from. Where you end up, on the other hand, is another matter entirely, because frames—for paintings, for stories, or for windows—are not so simple. They are points of entry that at the same time throw up barriers and define boundaries: the viewer is on one side or the other. A frame simultaneously organizes, invites, points the way, and separates. Windows, in particular, invite a multiplicity of meanings. Add a reflective surface, so light can work its magic, and you bring a sort of graceful confusion: what is on one side can coexist with what is on the other, the space behind and before the viewer overlaid. Where you have been shows itself side by side with where you are, or where you may yet be going. Inside Outside Windowphilia are life-sized watercolor paintings on paper. The pieces play with reflection and layers of external and internal space.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jimmie White is a conceptually driven artist whose work is guided by the demands of each idea. Her practice is rooted in experimentation, material truth, and the belief that process can be as revealing as the final form. Working across fresco, ceramics, and architectural fragments, White is drawn to materials that hold memory, resist control, or break down over time. Her work explores the intersections of politics, religion, and cultural mythology. Through sculptural form, surface erosion, and visual symbolism, White examines how dominant narratives are constructed, fractured, and absorbed into everyday life. These investigations are informed by both personal experience and collective history, drawing on sources ranging from myth and theology to propaganda and lived environments. White is particularly interested in the ways power becomes embedded in material culture—how objects can serve as both evidence and metaphor.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My artistic journey is deeply rooted in Chinese painting traditions, where nature is revered and meticulously portrayed. Growing up immersed in ink’s fluidity and the elegance of brushstrokes, I developed a profound connection to nature—now the cornerstone of my work as I bridge Eastern and Western art. I create a dialogue between Eastern philosophy and Western innovations, blending serene landscapes and symbolic elements with bold colors and dynamic compositions. My process is immersive, drawing inspiration from nature’s rhythms and nuances. Using mineral pigments, ink on silk, I merge traditions with contemporary approaches. This integration has been a journey of discovery and transformation, expanding my artistic perspective. Through my work, I hope to evoke wonder, celebrate the universal language of nature, and inspire viewers to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Much of life moves on the expectations of outcome. Art encourages me to let go of outcome and trust the process. When I relinquish control, the more creative energy manifests itself and arouses my authentic vision. Inspiration comes from the diverse beauty of the surrounding universe. I am fascinated by the symmetry, chaos, brilliance and the diffuse nature presented for each of our senses. One great canvas urges me to emulate its wonder with my voice. The beauty occurs to me. We all see it but sometimes unaware of the specificity of each miracle. My ambition is to capture an idea seen but previously undiscovered. Then decide what is the actual reality and what is the illusion. Since the beginning of what we know as time, our existence has been in a constant state of flux constantly moving, constantly reforming, constantly transforming our beings and our perception of reality. I seek to document the messages along my journey and my art embodies infinite movement.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>M. E. Klesse is a multi-sensorial artist based in Rockport, Texas, whose work has been exhibited internationally in cities including New York, London, Rome, Canada, and many other US major cities. Several of their pieces are part of permanent museum collections. Born in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, Klesse holds degrees in Philosophy from Rutgers University, as well as in Nursing and Management. Their professional background as a registered nurse and decades of volunteer work with alternatively advantaged individuals have deeply informed their understanding of the human psyche. This insight is further enriched by formal art studies at The Pratt Institute and the New York Studio School. Klesse's artistic practice encompasses oil, cold wax, and encaustic painting, along with tactile works in sculpture and assemblage. They create 'artwork-clusters', multi-sensory installations that integrate visual, tactile, and auditory elements, to engage viewers in dialogues about psychological trauma, survival, and the societal issues that contribute to these experiences.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Elliot Rose DeCaro is an artist based in Nazareth, PA. His work explores identity through the abstraction of human form, dissecting the interplay between flesh, self, and society - a focus of his BFA honors thesis, Identity In Society, at Moravian University. Through anatomical distortion, he traces the boundaries between flesh and identity, searching for the essence of humanity. Welcoming the opportunity to stimulate new ways of seeing, he often embraces mediums such as photography, alternative processes, printmaking, and sculpture, though he is first and foremost a painter. Captivated by the intricacies of individuality, he creates ambiguous compositions that challenge rigid societal ideals - advocating for a deeper understanding of identity. DeCaro’s work has been featured in exhibitions at Payne Gallery and The Alternative Gallery, persuading viewers to engage with his belief that art can subvert preconceived notions of the body as a fixed entity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a contemporary artist who specializes in surrealism, and animals. My work heavily influenced by my love for 20th-century animation, surrealism, and color. My art is a creation from an unknown origin. Often my ideas just come to me. They come with no explanation, or relativity. They are nonsensical but make total sense. I enjoy painting with acrylics. Learning to blend acrylics was a challenge. I have a fascination for bright colors. Layering acrylics helps me get the bright colors I am looking for. Always live life in full color.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Chasing Ephemera, Cloud Meditations Infinity is unknowable but available to see daily. Just look up. Contemplate the vast space rising above us, day or night. The sky; real, mysterious, infinite. Humans have looked to the sky in all cultures and times with marvel and awe. Projecting a range of emotions and thoughts of the spiritual and the afterlife. Clouds and stars are the forms that populate the limitless space of the sky. Clouds come from the simplest phenomena, water vapor and dust but evoke deep feelings and sensations. They are ephemeral yet real; quotidian and divine. They are fascinating. The first thing I do in the morning is look at the sky. My artistic process is eclectic. Some of these paintings are memories from that daily ritual. Others are from times of intensively looking skyward. Some are from photos, and some are plein air works. All are meditations on the sky.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work focuses on the potential for human beings to make use of the infinite possibilities of their existence in a manner of their choosing. The objects I create, which exist within or to frame these infinite voids of potential, represent the possibilities that exist in a world where what we do, and how we choose to spend our time, is bound only by imagination. Although I have spent my lifetime being nearly paralyzed with fear that the responsibility of giving my existence a purpose lies with nobody but myself, I have recently taken an optimistic approach to these thoughts. Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre has a quote verbalizing this idea, saying that: “Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.” Perhaps our brush with the infinite doesn’t have to be terrifying. Perhaps it represents the potential for a person to elevate themselves to levels far beyond the paths defined by anything”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Surrounding the silence of a painting music can be heard. The sounds are a universal language that lend themselves to color.  In those primal moments, before the brush strokes the canvas, a dance begins.  It is a call to the artist to journey into the unknown. In order to move forward, experience the beckoning sound, preconceptions are released. Freedom and untethered movement follow so that vision becomes tangible through creativity.  When I find myself with a palette and a canvas, I listen in the still silence.  Music then lifts me into the journey.   I have a passion for the sky, land and water, untouched open land; they are departure points.  In turn, the tones and hues invite the viewer to revel in the beauty and grace of our land, to lose oneself while finding another moment or place.  Let the colors lift you into a place of another's rhythm.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“An interest in antique photos lured me into portrait studies after a 40-year break from my art. I love the faces, the expressions, and the attitudes of these, usually, long-forgotten people. The theme for all of these portraits is the story behind each picture. I love pondering what kind of life each of them had while I am working on their portrait. I am fascinated by using a limited palette to create colors. I was taught in grade school that an artist only needs to use red, yellow, blue, and white to create every color. A background in commercial printing embedded that belief even deeper. I like to breakdown my paintings into the layers of color you would see if you were color separating a four-color process photograph. I complete this breakdown in my mind, with no computer aids, and it still thrills me to see the depth evolve as the layers go down.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have always had a passion for storytelling, wanting to create worlds from scratch and evoke emotions from the audience at a very young age. Born out of inspiration from Mythology, Fairy Tales, Spirituality/Religions, and Nature, while exploring themes such as Women Empowerment, Body Positivity, and Queer Love, I create visual stories that can often feel like dreams or strange memories. When I am bringing these worlds to life, my main goal is to uplift and empower the people in front of my lens. At the core of my work is connection. Connection to ourselves, each other, and nature.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Claire R Lynch pushes the delicate balance between beautiful fragility and aggressive violence in her mixed material and kinetic sculptures. Within these dichotomies, Lynch explores the cognitive dysfunctions experienced in bipolar disorder. Cognitive dysfunctions are symptoms of bipolar disorder that occur when the brain experiences difficulty sending neurotransmitters across the brain or when the brain is not producing enough neurotransmitters. When this happens, the brain begins to cognitively slow, leading to symptoms such as short term memory loss, confusion, intrusive thoughts, anger, and depression. From there, Lynch’s work dives into the emotional impact caused by these cognitive dysfunctions. Through reflection, Lynch believes we can begin to appreciate the complexity and depth of these cognitive dysfunctions, and recognize that we are not alone in our experience of them.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I try to place the viewer in a specific time and space. To do this, I have been exploring the intersection between technology and nature with humanity as the facilitator. With history as a guide, I use engineering schematics, designs, maps and architectural plans to show how, even in small ways humans continually shape our world and ourselves. Plans and designs document the ideas and dreams. Innovations, displayed in the drawings that were once groundbreaking and new are now discarded or considered irrelevant. As these change the outdated drawings, representing what was previously built, continues to affect us and the environment. Circuitboards look like neighborhoods, towns and cities. Nature is always nipping at us, reminding us to think beyond ourselves and look to and include it in our schemes. Placing the natural word with our ideas shows how important it is to consider more than immediate, short-term solutions, but ones that endure.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Girlhood overly sexualized, family secrets, personal denial and healing are pivotal themes in my artwork. My drawings, paintings and interactive work, explore traditional and nontraditional themes of cultural, political and gender identity in myself and the people I encounter. I like to bring the viewer into a very emotional space that might have one questioning what the subject is hiding from or trying to accept. Often met with an ambiguous uncertainty, I am questioning these narratives while relating them to cultural pasts within the history I grew up believing. In my drawing series, I am exploring how it feels to grow up identifying as female and what it feels like to have been a child of sexual abuse in my past.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’ve found three statements made by other artists that resonate with my approach to photography: The first is from Dylan Thomas, who said art is about telling the truth. The second is from Georgia O’Keeffe, who said what appeals to us about mountains and rocks and trees is not that they’re mountains and rocks and trees, but rather the lines, planes and textures they present to us. The third is from Joseph Campbell, who said it’s the task of the artist to convey the radiance behind the physical reality. I don’t do photoshop or otherwise manipulate images, aside from cropping and, when needed, truing the horizontals. I don’t even use filters or a lot of different lenses (Admittedly I do have a zoom lens, but my tendency is to use it in the wide-angle length so as to get the greatest possible depth of focus). The images are quite literally what came through the lens. They may not be technically sophisticated, but they are--or at least they are meant to be--deeply felt.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my work, I look deeply into the environment of a world and try to tell its stories from its data. I read scientific publications and appreciate their unbiased observations, but I want to satisfy that human need for storytelling by translating what I learn into a visual experience. I draw and paint with meticulous detail to make entire planets feel like part of a precious collection. I use translucent materials for substrates as a connection to the human pursuit of discovery: allowing light to pass through and reflect upon the painted landscape illuminates what knowledge we have of these places. Where data is missing, I fill in with other cultural associations, using color and texture to evoke various mythologies and science fiction. By using both sides of the substrate, and adding additional layered pieces, I can expose the hidden layers of planets and moons that make them so unique.”</image:caption>

I signed up for writing &amp; photography classes and I booked a world cruise that started out in Antarctica. Sadly, the world came to a screeching halt. When the cruise was cancelled for the second and final time two months prior to sailing, I realized it wasn't meant to be. I researched cruises to Antarctica &amp; set sail in January 2022 with my new Canon R6 and an rf 100-500 lens that I rented online. I took hundreds of photos of amazing wildlife and extraordinary landscapes. Thus began my obsession with travel photography. Since then, I've traveled to more than 20 international and domestic destinations. Each trip holds special memories in my brain &amp; on my SD cards. I'm looking forward to my next adventure and capturing images through my lens.”</image:caption>

My own work uses flat acrylic sheets laser cut into shapes held together by nuts and bolts and also works made entirely of paper but all designed so that everyone can build in their mind's eye an interpretation shaped by the art design. Although the artist makes the art in collaboration with the medium, the viewer of the art creates anew their own interpretation. The artist is a retired scientist whose works are influenced by the way that nature and especially its mathematical underpinnings create our understanding of how the world and its beauty is influenced by the basic structural elements upon which the universe is made.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“All of [my works] are video pieces. They can be projected or installed in a monitor of any size. I am a multimedia artist, creating video to produce painterly, immersive, hypnotic moods. I am fascinated by video’s material properties– color in motion, dots that form lines, hexadecimal pixels. A piece of video footage is both a document and a series of electric impulses and instructions. The emotion contained in even the simplest memory is inextricable from the material which transmits that feeling. My work explores the formal properties of video, breaking it down to its rawest elements: luminance, shape, rhythm, and nostalgia. To create my art, I build algorithmic visual systems alongside filmed and sampled material. The interaction of all these systems is controlled by my own physical instruments, knobs and slider which let me interact with generative systems in real-time. The finished work is a document of a performance, a fusion of code and intuition.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have always been fascinated by the deep past and distant future, both of which have heavily influenced my personal outlook and creative journey from a very early age. There is something so inherently captivating about our very real, but seemingly imperceptible connection to deep time; to moments long dead or so distant and abstract they can only be reached through decayed remnants of what was or conceived of only within one’s own imagination. The way in which these recontextualize our place in time, I feel, is vital to better understanding our humanity and the real value of time in our lives. As a means of seeking and expressing meaning in the world around me within this framework, my art primarily focuses on questions of temporality as explored through a wide range of mediums from mixed media to collage, digital art, photography, and music with a specific focus on prehistory, architecture, and the natural world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My weaving redefines memory spaces, moving beyond visual interpretations of lived environments to focus on their emotional and sensory imprints. Memory exists in parallel to reality, shaped more by sensations than sight—smells, distances, and physical interactions contribute as much as images. I see weaving as a diary, a quiet dialogue where emotions and memories take form. Each piece becomes a letter exchanged between myself and the fabric. Encounters and separations with loved ones are like interwoven wefts, forming an unseen tapestry of connection. Rather than recreating spaces, my work distorts objective reality to capture the emotions they once evoked. Colors express my feelings, and each palette reflects my personality. Inspired by cities I’ve traveled to, homes I’ve lived in, and fleeting moments of nature, my woven and printed works become an evolving archive—where memories, even as they fade, remain forever woven into the fabric of my art.”</image:caption>

I have experimented with different textures and intensities of charcoal to create complex patterns while also implementing various levels of depth. Playing with the dark, velvety black tint to engulf the eye in the patterns’ complexities and the physical depth to encourage interaction between the patterns and their environment. I consider depth on multiple levels of my work; tying it in by using extensive layers, shading, and contrast on a 2D level. Then, I push this depth further by exploring various ways of physically constructing the piece off of the wall. This has fueled my interest in taking up space. Crafting collages that extend on and off of its supporting surfaces.”</image:caption>

My work aims to help us realize how small we are in the face of the sky, yet how it unites us all. I call my signature method “refracturing”. The term was recognized by the international magazine Kolaj in 2016. I paint each scene then cut and reassemble, juxtaposing pieces with a partially matched edge giving a mix of flow and clash. Stylistically this has been described as “somewhere between 3rd generation orphism and unclassifiable” – a great place to be until I try to explain it to a gallerist over the phone. When we look at a view, we don’t do so in its entirety, but focus on individual areas, so my method presents the art in the way the observer would process them”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I began drawing at the tender age of two or three, a natural inclination and a gift from God that would shape my creative journey for years to come. My work has become a language, a way to communicate emotions that I couldn't always express with words. I believe art has the power to resonate on a subconscious level, allowing people to connect with emotions they may not fully understand but instinctively feel. I specialize in realism, black and white, the human form, and portraits. Although, I do not limit myself to one style or medium, I enjoy exploring in all forms of art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my work, everything is an experiment. It's not just about using or creating new textures for my designs. It's not just about mixing it up between the physical and the digital. It's about experimenting with themes. An autistic artist like myself might be expected to stick within her bubble of comfort. But I want to experiment out of the bubble! I want to create and show things that can impact people without being directly on point. I don't want people thinking that I'm blasphemous or taking sides. I don't want pity. I want them to look at my work and ask themselves: 'What do I see?'“</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have vision impairment resulting in low vision. My color perception and visual acuity often yield unpredictable results, requiring multiple returns to pieces as my perception shifts, and so my process is a continuous reexamination of the work through close viewing, photographic documentation and close inspection, and a more conventional distance viewing and working. This is all in the context of an expressive, gestural process in which subject and content are emergent through progressive layers of media and mark making. Myth and otherworldly visions coexist with a fascination with biology and nature in a personal symbology that informs the imagery that emerges as I express my experience and relationship with the world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Mainly painting with oil, I explore fantasy styles as an outlet to express an imagined world beyond reality. In my fantasy paintings, I focus on portraits of mythical creatures and animals transfixed in the shifting colours of seascapes and landscapes. There is a natural spirit and magic to these creatures and their energy draws me in. I choose to paint these creatures as real living wildlife rather than abstractions. I weave their bodies and the surface of the landscape into each other through organic forms and flowing brush strokes, finding beauty, strength and innocence in their presence. Incorporating a saturated colour palette in my fantasy work, I create bold and striking imagery, contrasted between foreground and background, subject and landscape, and light and darkness.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Brain activity during REM--the period during sleep when your mind is most active--can be depicted in a simple graph of troughs and peaks. High, then low, then high again, taking you on your nightly rollercoaster of dreams. But what will the graph look like when your eyes are wide open, the sun is up, and your head is stuck in the clouds? Daydreaming--arguably more deliberate and magical than your mind in the dark--has us all dancing through reality, our graphs wrapped up in flecks of gold and dotted in fluidity with splats and pops of pigment. Whimsical and full of light energy, the brain leaps and rests on pillows of possibility and enchantment. Daydream. A measurement of your mind’s conscious ability to create what does not yet exist but what can through your will. A measurement of what gets you excited. A graph of what keeps you hopeful and reaching for the stars.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My creative process is deeply personal, serving as a form of therapy, where I reflect on ideas, emotions, and memories. I aim to translate these reflections into tangible artworks. In a way, my paintings and sculptures articulate what I often find challenging to verbalize. My work is influenced by art history, particularly 16th-17th century portraiture and religious art created in Europe and its colonized territories; like the works of Peter Paul Rubens, whose influence reached the Spanish colonies. I reimagine and reinterpret imagery and symbols to infuse my pieces with new narratives and meanings. By engaging in a dialogue with the past, I am able to create visual commentaries on contemporary issues.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Classically trained in Barcelona, Spain at the Barcelona Academy of art and schooled at the University of Houston, I have been blessed to have many great teachers in my life. My first teacher, Nancy Hines, taught me classical figurative art techniques when I was 14. I have become enamored with the style ever since. I grew up the daughter of an immigrant father and Mexican mother in Chicago and Houston. My exposure to latine cultures is reflected in my art. I had several interests at the University of Houston majoring in English and Spanish while minoring in political philosophy. Ever curious, I plan to return to Barcelona to complete my figurative artistic training and get an MFA at the University of Houston in painting. I specialize in mediums such as charcoal, oil paint, and acrylic paint. My influences range from classical artists such as Bouguereau and Velasquez, to more contemporary artist such as Siqueiros and Kahlo.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Born in 1999, Klaudia lives and works in Łódź. A student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Her work mainly revolves around the theme of artistic and industrial textiles. In her works she combines traditional craft activities with new media. She looks for unique forms that allow a new view of fabric in costume and installations. She uses materials such as 3d printing, lenticular printing, garden mesh, metal, felt, handmade paper, leather and tulle. Her works analyze and weld the collisions between new and old notions of weaving. She uses a minimalist color palette where one color usually plays the main role.

      <image:caption>“As an autistic individual my paintings and drawings are an illustration of my social range. On one end there are the most abstract works where the brush strokes are aggressive, bold and seemingly uncontrolled. In these works, the logic and reason is more attributable to me and how I understand and see the world. On the opposite side when I work in and around social norms I see and create more representational paintings and drawings, with elements of how I prefer to see and interpret the world still being evident. It is my intent that by working within range to provide a positive social commentary for autistic individuals and promote inclusion for anyone who may be perceived as being different.”</image:caption>

This is a world where the delicate boundaries between reality and illusion are constructed and deconstructed by the convergence of perception, transcendentalist pursuits, and dreams. DimensionXChi DreamScapes are my love letters to the eccentric world in my head weaved by theories of physics, such as the Holographic Principle and the Observer Effect, and the poetic essence of transcendentalism, offering an opaque glimpse into the dreamlike nature of our being.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my work, I explore the transformative power of abstraction; how color, texture, and form can combine to create something far greater than their individual parts. I grew up watching my mother paint. She taught me that life has so many moments worth capturing. My recent collection, "Golden Alchemy", symbolizes not only the artistic process but also the way I incorporate gold into each piece, weaving it through the layers to evoke a sense of depth, warmth, and luminosity. Gold is more than just a color; it's a symbol of transformation, value, and beauty. Last year was a difficult year personally for me, as I lost my mother to cancer, and I was diagnosed with lymphoma. Through my treatment, I felt so overwhelmed by a range of emotions that eventually inspired my artwork. Gold has become even more of a representation of overcoming adversity and perseverance. The gold shining through texture in my art now holds a deeper meaning of hope that guides us through our tough terrain in life.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SUMMER &amp; FALL 2025 - Peter and the Wave - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This is a requiem to my brother, Peter Jeremiah Quinn. His death came untimely which made the loss more painful to myself and my four older brothers. He had his demons that he was earnestly trying to conquer. I tried to manifest this struggle with the use of the boy in the sea against the wave. My intention was to show the essence of my brother Peter. He was the quintessential boy at heart - the ultimate Peter Pan, my dearest and most loved brother. He clung to his sense of boyhood throughout his life. This is represented by the brightly colored child’s raft to which he is clinging. In the painting, we never know if the wave or the boy wins. It is left intentionally ambiguous. But what is not ambiguous is the struggle itself. We, as flawed people cling to our rafts against waves every day. We are all flawed children struggling against the tides of dysfunction, brokenness and hardship. However, beyond all this, my brother was the essence joy.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Focused on the theme of loneliness, my artwork explores the human experience through the lens of solitude and longing, while utilizing animals as symbols of comfort and connection. By incorporating animals into my paintings, I aim to evoke warmth and loyalty, inviting viewers to reflect on their own emotions and perspectives. Through my work, I seek to provoke discussion and foster a deeper understanding of the human-animal bond and its role in navigating isolation.”</image:caption>

I utilize quilting, handcrafting, and photography to examine the diverse facets of contemporary culture and society with meticulous scrutiny. Positioned within the arts and culture domain, it honors human imagination as manifested through art. Design thinking is fundamental to my methodology as I transform personal insights and concepts into tangible embodiments. Additionally, I creatively use digital technology to bring my ideas to life and craft a distinctive, engaging perspective that allows viewers to connect with me.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>David Lee Black is an award-winning New England-based photographer and sculpture artist. He is a storyteller on a never-ending pilgrimage to fill the gap between art and life, celebrating the differences between people, places and things, both simple and sublime. Black’s sculptural work, using liberated found objects and custom designed fabrications, is simultaneously whimsical and serious, graceful and awkward, understated and conspicuously complex. Black invites the viewer to open their mind’s eye to explore, interpret and be inspired by his work in relation to their own experiences and life moments. Black also applies his artistic skill and personal philosophy to his work in music, expressive arts therapy, educational workshops and visual artist performances.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I work with found materials, primarily maps, hand-written notes and letters, and books. All of this material relates to environmental/political issues and my struggle with memory and loss. The idea that underlies my work is drawn from my lifelong love of books, the narratives they contain and my passion for the environment. In addition, my work starts from a place of memory or nostalgia, then I move to symbol using subject (symbols and text), then I add found materials such as maps letters and books. I have always been a reader; I devour volumes in a literal and physical way, one that satisfies both the reader and artist, and allows me to give into my urge to destroy and compose something new from the remains.

I feel like this “magical” world coexists with the concrete one and access to it is a matter of simply changing perspective. My painting has taught me this different way of “seeing “and I hope it will also suggest to the viewer the wonder of this vision as it applies to their own life and experience. There is a technical craft to painting that has taken me years to acquire; I feel like I’m never done learning and perfecting it. I happily embrace this life long process."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"My work moves between intimacy and displacement, using bold color fields and simplified forms to hold lives that are often overlooked. I paint scenes of rest, desire, and waiting, where bodies, beds, and horizons become fragile shelters. Saturated palettes echo protest banners and sacred icons, turning everyday gestures into quiet declarations of existence. Years of working alongside marginalized communities inform my practice: each piece is an act of witness, shaped by stories of precarity, resilience, and care. I am interested in how love and exhaustion, tenderness and fear can coexist in the same room, the same body, the same image."</image:caption>

Long moments of silence and self-reflection stand out as defining or favored memories, with water used in moments of renewal, and light in communion with the spirit. My current works look to explore emerging, healing, and reaching one's full potential.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Multidisciplinary California artist Eileen Begley has been creating and exhibiting art for more than three decades in the Bay Area with work including large scale painting &amp; drawing, printmaking, fiber arts. Her current work in scanographic photography explores intimacy and quiet reflection in a chaotic world. Garden Electric is a collection of experimental scanography. All color glitch &amp; movement is created during image capture, with very little post production. The images reflect the invisible electrical energy and theoretical consciousness of plants.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I am a self-taught photographer and collage artist and am attracted to a variety of subject matter. My interests range from natural landscapes, botanicals and wildlife to images that provide either abstract expression or social commentary. I share images that evoke a story of some kind that may be simply documentary, reflect a sense of time and place, or resonate on a more abstract level of color, shape or form...Most often I am drawn back to images created while wandering through the back roads of the upper Midwest. These images of architecture, commerce and social life often reflect a mixture of nostalgia and a changing set of forces that shape life in the heartlands."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Guanhua Yao is a visual artist and researcher working with photography and computational practices. Drawing on backgrounds in journalism, fine art, and educational research, his work examines how images mediate perception, knowledge, and institutional authority. Through documentary, constructed, and AI-informed approaches, Yao explores the tensions between embodied seeing and technologically regulated vision, tracing how contemporary systems of visibility shape memory, subjectivity, and ways of knowing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I love motion and the late 19th century human locomotion photographic experiments of Étienne-Jules Marey, Eadweard Muybridge, and others that inspired me to start experimenting with the moving film stroboscopy technique of shooting motion on film. The first time I shot the photos with black and white film and now I am collaging and layering those earlier analog images in the digital world, creating new works of art. Through my photographs I examine the idea of motion and reality and seeing the unseen: what exists and yet cannot be perceived by the naked eye.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alex Lewis is a senior BFA Painter at Truman State University interested in painting as a psychic connection between the maker and the audience. Having dabbled in spirituality and art since very young, he merged the two mediums after creating subconscious soft pastel work which challenged his notions of time traditional messaging in artwork. He explores the unseen in everyday life and encodes his artwork with figures and personal mythological elements. He is building towards a Capstone pertaining to these premonitions by creating an interactive site-specific installation where gallery goers can freely touch, move, and explore raw canvas draped like curtains to reveal hidden and specific messages and figures others never see.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Photography is fundamentally documentary. Whether it be the simple act of recording a moment in time for others to experience later, or the more complex layering of emotion and interpretation onto a black and white canvas, ultimately the best photographic works communicate effectively to the viewer to elicit an emotional reaction. I find my photographic art at the intersection of human empathy and emotion with a desire to express my understanding and appreciation of the small wonders in the world around me. I’ve often heard artists express a deep need to paint regardless of whether anyone else sees or appreciates their work. I feel similarly, but for me it is a compulsion to visually scan the world around me for subtle patterns and meaning in context and shadow. My artistic practice consists of daily visual meditation on these oft overlooked and humble features. It’s there that I find transcendent beauty and it's my hope that through my photos I may help the viewer to appreciate it as well.”</image:caption>

It’s also one of the cheapest materials, whether it’s only a few bucks or for free. Its convenience and flexibility for various uses make it a peculiar substance that draws people to using it on the daily. Whether it’s to hold your personal items in a box, a cushion for hard surfaces, is sustainable and recyclable, and endless entertainment for kids with large imaginations, cardboard supplies a large amount of accessibility in more ways than one. I want art to feel this way as well.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I work with found materials, primarily maps, hand-written notes and letters, and books. All of this material relates to environmental/political issues and my struggle with memory and loss. The idea that underlies my work is drawn from my lifelong love of books, the narratives they contain and my passion for the environment. In addition, my work starts from a place of memory or nostalgia, then I move to symbol using subject (symbols and text), then I add found materials such as maps letters and books. I have always been a reader; I devour volumes in a literal and physical way, one that satisfies both the reader and artist, and allows me to give into my urge to destroy and compose something new from the remains.

      <image:caption>“I work in the multifaceted and often contradictory emotions that define intimacy in many forms. My work reveals the raw emotions intrinsic to the human condition and my subject matter is drawn from the world around me and the institutions that affect us all. I am captivated by compositions that convey a story or a feeling that resonates deeper, reflecting the beauty, complexity, and sometimes the stark realities of the human experience. My fascination lies in the rawness of the human experience, the truths we often hide from the world. I seek to capture and share this authenticity, this unfiltered emotionality, through my work. My work conveys the vulnerability that women are facing right now in this unstable administration. They are intimate explorations of complex sociological themes and are meant to start a quiet conversation about the truly historic and horrific times we live in. These works convey the raw, unspoken truths of being human.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My artistic inspiration comes from the natural landscapes of Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. I advocate for reverence and care for nature and the earth. Every life is precious, full of beauty and resilience; we need to protect them and avoid harming them as much as possible to maintain harmony between humanity and the earth. I always make time to connect with nature, engaging in spiritual dialogue with trees, rivers, mountains, and birds." I strive to feel them—the warm sunlight, the birdsong, and the babbling brook. I draw creativity and spiritual resonance from nature, exploring the reflection of light and shadow in minute details. It is a series of exciting sensory and emotional journeys, inviting visitors to marvel, meditate, dream, immerse, reflect, and connect. It aims to fundamentally rebuild the connection between art and its natural environment, seeking resonance with the inner worlds of artists and viewers, evoking the tenderness deep within everyone.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jazlyne Sabree (b. 1990, New Jersey) creates large scale collages that include paint, paper, and found objects. Sabree elevates her subjects, members of the African diaspora, as spiritual messengers highlighting the whispers of hidden histories. In her practice, Sabree explores environments, memory, and spirituality as it relates to African diasporic history and present-day existence joined to the capitalist economic system that relied on the labor of enslaved African people. She is interested in the Africanisms, the evolution of African diasporic beliefs and the syncretism and acculturation of African culture, spirituality, customs, traditions found absent from Africa and dispersed across the diaspora. The work explores themes of displacement, historical trauma, and juxtaposes ideas of resilience and fragility.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"This work explores the fragile boundary between identity and dissolution. Through layered transparencies and floating spherical forms, the painting evokes a suspended state where the body and psyche fragment, refract, and reassemble. The bubbles act as visual metaphors for memory, perception, and destiny—delicate containers that both protect and distort what they hold. A partially emerging human presence suggests the tension between visibility and disappearance, agency and surrender. Color and light create a fluid atmosphere, inviting the viewer into an inner space where emotion drifts freely and meaning remains unstable. The work does not offer resolution, but embraces uncertainty as a vital condition of existence."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Words have shadows––hidden meanings or ambiguous associations that refract how words are understood. While shadows of the spoken word are fleeting, those of the written word have permanence, and power to subvert, augmented by historical association, cultural context and visual delivery. My work interrogates this subversion; how the mismatch between intent and understanding enabled the systemization of these shadows, some insidious (such as racism), some inspirational, (such as written arts). By exploring the letterform and the structures it populates––word, sentence, page, book, screen––combined with the hyper-vivid color palette of modern media, my work queries the visual and morphological contradictions manifest in these shadows. The written world’s dereliction of duty has widened the chasm between word and meaning.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The Fire Keepers In ancient cultures, elder women often served as fire keepers—more than tenders of flame, they embodied transformation, memory, and wisdom. This exhibition reclaims that reverence, insisting that aging is not retreat but expansion. With every year, we deepen our power; with every line, we become more beautiful. The Fire Keepers is a visual ode to the sacred strength of women who wear age as a badge of radical evolution. In a culture obsessed with youth, these portraits stand in defiance—declarations of presence, resilience, and truth. Acrylic brush to canvas becomes memory to muscle, telling stories shaped by laughter, loss, battles, and boundaries. This work is not about turning back the clock, but moving forward with clarity and courage. To shape the future, we must honor their wisdom. Beauty is aging. Power is aging. Let’s make wisdom powerful. Let’s make aging visible. Let’s honor their fire.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Amuri Morris aims to show how western culture has tended to negate and undermine the place of black figures, not only in daily life but also in visual media and stories told. She aims to explore this displacement by forging reimagined spaces that break free from imposed identities, to create space for “the black protagonist” in western backdrops. Her paintings create a fantastical fruitfulness that gratifies Amuri’s inner child (and the imagery she desired to see). The intersection between the past, present, and altered spaces all pull together to varying degrees in her work. Her afro-centric reimagining generates an alternative history that also thinks reflectively about displacement and the biases of histories.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - You Can Believe in Anything - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>You Can Believe in Anything is a mixed-media collage made with torn paper, sewing pattern fragments, found text, and real bird feathers. Within the layers is a loose silhouette of a girl with wings — not fully defined, but suggested. The wings and the phrase “I fucking love you” are meant as encouragement rather than confrontation. The piece is about believing in your own ability to rise — to move, to grow, to fly — before the world ever confirms it for you. The sewing pattern paper references ideas of how we’re told to be shaped or instructed, while the feathers represent something real, light, and instinctive. This work isn’t about certainty or answers. It’s about self-belief as a starting point — the quiet, internal decision to trust yourself first.</image:caption>

Airbrush painting on motorcycles, bicycles and cars was exciting. Then she added a full time career in hairstyling and became a color educator. Once her two children went off to college it became her time to dive into her art pursuit. Abbe's paintings have now been in many juried shows as well as a solo show in Philadelphia an the surrounding areas. Exploration of representation; juxtaposed with abstraction is what she is working with now.</image:caption>

It allows me to channel my thoughts and emotions into something tangible, creating a sense of peace and clarity within me.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Tangled Memories - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a multimedia artist currently based in rural Missouri. I am interested in how art can be a vessel for memory and a vehicle for remembrance. Since returning home to rural Missouri, I have pursued performance art while thinking about my relationship to home. Rural Missouri is not a place I thought I would be after college, however it has proven harder than expected to leave. As an only child who did not grow up with anyone, I often worry I will forget pieces of myself or my past. However, being at home in my parents' house and in my childhood yard, I see many memories. I see the trees I grew up with and the ground I scraped my knees on. This landscape is a sentient place that had a hand in raising me. Sometimes I try to sink into it, hoping it remembers me, too.</image:caption>

I am constantly on the lookout for small enclaves of beauty, but they keep getting harder to find. So I try looking in different ways. I try looking with different types of light … soft light, strong light, light disturbed by strong weather, and the invisible light of infrared light. I try looking at complexity from new perspectives, and nature the way other creature see it. I can find beauty in symmetry, asymmetry. and chaos. I find beauty in nature as well as architecture. I find beauty in life and in the day to day struggle to survive. I find beauty in simplicity and in complexity. Beauty is everywhere if you look the right way.”</image:caption>

Mostly I prefer to use organic elements in the photographs and then manipulate them to abstract art. I love the story telling possibilities in the images we shoot. So many views and so many interesting ways to present the story to the viewer. And, then there is the way the viewer interprets your image. It can be such a different interpretation!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Berg- und Talfahrt (engl.: Peaks and Valleys) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Ride Through Peaks and Valleys is a spatial collage that treats landscape as a model of unstable reality. Built from corrugated cardboard and black-and-white photographic fragments, it forms a provisional topography: ridges and cuts that read as mountain range, infrastructure, or diagram, depending on where you stand. I am interested in how images organise what we call reality – through framing, sequencing, and omission rather than illusionistic depth. The accompanying collages extend this investigation on the flat surface. They assemble fragments of terrain and architecture into dense visual arguments that resist a single narrative. Seen together, installation and collages propose landscape not as scenery, but as a thinking space: a way to rehearse transitions, overlaps, and breaks in the worlds we inhabit and construct.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the Tao Te Ching, it is said that nothing lasts forever—everything flows in cycles of birth, growth, and decay. Xi Liu’s work searches for eternal rhythms through quiet observation, intuitive making, and spiritual reflection. Influenced by Taoist and Buddhist thought, Christian symbolism, and Jungian psychology, she explores impermanence, inner transformation, and our place in a larger order. Her practice follows two paths: building self-sustaining ecosystems with biodegradable materials like dissolvable paper, oranges, and handmade pigments; and returning to traditional media—oil, watercolor, and Chinese scroll painting—to reflect on permanence and change. Her aquarium project, inspired by life’s beginnings, became a meditation on care, humility, and trust. The circle, a recurring form, becomes a quiet gesture of grounding the fleeting in form. For Xi, art is not a means of control, but a space of listening—an offering between the inner world and the unknown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - More Than the Cow - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“‘More Than The Cow’ is a watercolor and pen illustration I produced in response to the devastating human-caused fires in the Amazon Rainforest in 2019. It is one in a series I made to bring attention to animal suffering caused by the environmental damage that results from deforestation, with cattle ranching being the primary cause of deforestation globally and animal agriculture the leading contributor to the climate crisis. I aim to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the meat and dairy industries, advocating for reduced consumption to combat climate change and both human and animal suffering.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My current work originates from a hand-drawn stippled portrait, reproduced on vellum and mounted on a card stock background of various designs. The final piece is mounted on media board for presentation. The transparency of the vellum introduces a shifting interplay of light, pattern, and depth, softening the precision of the stippling while simultaneously disrupting it with the layered background rhythms. The result is an image suspended between presence and obscurity, where detail emerges and recedes depending on perspective. By combining exacting mark-making with the material qualities of layered surfaces, the pieces explore the tension between clarity and obscurity, permanence and fragility.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My works are part of my painting series named “Love is Greater,” which tells the story of two interracial lovers who love each other despite coming from different ethnic backgrounds. The lovers approach each other from a space of love and belief that their love is greater than their differences. Their story embodies the ideal of love as a force that transcends ethnic or cultural prejudice. Through this series, I aim to portray true love as being far more beautiful than any ethnic or cultural prejudice that can divide lovers. The figures in the paintings are often nestled in close domestic spaces, surrounded by layered textiles, patterned motifs and natural elements. I have depicted the lovers with different skin tones to emphasize their diverse ethnic backgrounds. The thick, visible, and bold brushstrokes of paint illustrate their loving gestures toward each other.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My ceramic works are centered around themes of mortality and peaceful earthly departure, often through expression with underglaze painting, sgraffito, and other surface decorations. Through my education at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and my career in pottery, I seek to identify what makes a good death. All living things share inevitable expiration in common, so how can the fear and anxiety that is so common in modern societies be assuaged? I believe that planning, creating a peaceful environment (whatever that means for the individual), and a person’s right to choose how they pass on from this world are all essential steps to relieving this very human tension. What better way to capture this expression than with a medium that will exist long beyond its creator? Knowing that pieces of nature and humans that have lived and died before me exist in the clay and glaze that I use instills a deep passion in me to be intentional with all that I create.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work centers upon a continual search for belonging. Tensions between distance and proximity fuel a persistent pondering over the idea of home, and whether this is found in an actual space, or something unattainable altogether. Often expressed through self-portraiture, a practice that emerged out of the isolation of the pandemic, yet continues in my practice. I am thinking about the feminine experience and the complexities of navigating societal expectations, lived experience and the issue of desire. Who are we and who are we expected to be? In contemplating interior and exterior, whether implied internal landscapes or actual physical spaces, outside sometimes comes in, and a pervasive calm suggests things may not be as they seem.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Across my work, geometry becomes a framework for thinking—about perception, structure, and the ways we construct meaning. The String Theory series visualizes forces we cannot see, using lines, circles, and shifting fields to reveal the underlying order that shapes experience. The Garden Series reflects on human attempts to organize nature, translating cultivated landscapes into patterned systems where rhythm becomes a form of knowledge. Whimsy in the Abstract turns this inquiry toward identity itself, suggesting that character can emerge from the simplest shapes, as if the self were built from deliberate arrangements of color and form. Together, these series explore how the mind seeks coherence—how we read pattern as intention, and intention as truth. My practice is grounded in slow looking and precise making, searching for the moment when abstraction becomes not just a visual language, but a way to understand the world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The practice of finding beauty within a young, disabled body has been integral to my work. The relationship between mind and body is complicated, and often emotionally fraught. Whether due to disability, gender identity, race, self-image, or something else entirely, it is common for people to contemplate and quarrel with the state, appearance, or biology of their body. My work centers sculptural and watercolor representations of the human form, in all its imperfection and beauty. Often, I incorporate images of nature into my work, referencing human biology, decaying or fragmented images, or plants in order to explore the body’s intricacy. With non-traditional materials and colors, I depict the body’s inherent flaws as objects of beauty, rather than shame. Using the unique bodies of myself and my peers as subjects worthy of honoring, I strive to make space for viewers to navigate their own relationship to their bodies, viewing every cell as art in itself, as I have learned to do.”</image:caption>

My paintings are improvisations of realistic images fused onto fanciful themes, with a hidden story underneath each piece. My work is whimsical, colorful, and full of detail. A signature aspect of my artwork is the unique method of building my paintings into 3-dimensional compositions using paint, hand-carved layered foamcore board, fabric, and other collage elements to add dimension, texture and depth. Collage adds vitality and excitement resulting in tactile, bold work that engages process, form, and narrative equally. I create an integrated setting in each piece, spotlighting the scene while adding flavor to the total story and design. I create exciting, sculptural nature-based artworks with layers of texture and portraits that are alive with personality. Some of my artworks are hyper-realistic food sculptures and paintings with exciting 3-dimensional effects that look delicious enough to eat.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I wander city streets, wading through layers of chaos, to study a world of orderly structures, reflections and interplay of light and shadow. I surround myself with architectural history, evolution and revolution. Each of my subjects has its own personality, with examples of craftsmanship and engineering prowess that are elegant, powerful and endlessly fascinating. The architect creates a finished work, but also provides the raw material for my own expression. To me, a building is a musical composition that I am allowed to “perform”, creating my own arrangement and interpretation of the work. My goal is to amplify the impact of the whole by revealing the structure and interplay of the parts. I use weather, the time of day and even the time of year as tools to deliver the light to greatest effect. I do minimal post-processing, comparable to the manipulations performed in a traditional darkroom. It is important to me to create an honest representation of the architect’s work.”</image:caption>

"Wake", at its most obvious, refers to the ship's wake; I wanted as well to contrast the ugly shape of the body with the beauty of nature, but my primary intent though was to reflect upon mental illness, which can make any place seem dark, and make strange decisions (such as leaping into the ocean from a moving ship) not only logical but inevitable.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Growing up in a modest household, I learned to appreciate the natural world and the potential beauty in things often discarded. This respect for materials guides my practice; I treat each object with care, giving it new life through a patient handcrafting process. My sculptures take time to craft, and in that slow, meditative process, I find a peaceful state of being. For me, art is not just a product—it’s a space where I feel most alive, connected, and whole. While my work might seem playful or abstract, each piece is layered with personal history, literary or cultural references, and reflections on my experience. I do not aim to explain everything I create—some aspects remain personal and beyond words—but I invite viewers to engage with the materiality and presence of the artwork, finding their own meaning in the forms.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work explores the tension between life, decay, and transformation. Inspired by the vast landscapes of the American West and the folklore of my Nordic and Celtic heritage, I create sculptural and illustrative pieces that reflect our fragile connection to nature and mortality. Using found and organic materials such as bone, stone, and metal, I craft objects that feel both ancient and familiar—part relic, part ritual. Each piece is stripped to its essential form, allowing texture, shadow, and absence to speak. Through the use of darkened surfaces and restrained composition, I seek to reveal the quiet beauty found in ruin, reverence, and renewal.Haunted by the ghosts of the past—both ancestral and environmental—my work becomes a dialogue between what has been lost and what endures. These echoes linger in each piece, suggesting that memory itself is a living material. Each work serves as a meditation on impermanence and the cyclical rhythm of creation and decay.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am a self-taught photographer and collage artist and am attracted to a variety of subject matter. My interests range from natural landscapes, botanicals and wildlife to images that provide either abstract expression or social commentary. I share images that evoke a story of some kind that may be simply documentary, reflect a sense of time and place, or resonate on a more abstract level of color, shape or form. Others provoke an indefinable question that does not readily yield answers without further study and reflection. Most often I am drawn back to images created while wandering through the back roads of the upper Midwest. These images of architecture, commerce and social life often reflect a mixture of nostalgia and a changing set of forces that shape life in the heartlands. I have exhibited widely and have earned recognition in local, regional, and national exhibitions. My photographs are also included in several corporate and private collections.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Fragments of Free Childhood; Hands of Time - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I have always been drawn to the quiet poetry of the everyday — the way light falls across a worn table, the texture of flour on hands, the stillness between generations. Growing up in a small village, I was surrounded by nature, craft, and the beauty of simple rituals. Those early impressions taught me to observe closely, to notice the interplay of form, texture, and emotion — a habit that later found expression through photography. Photography, for me, is a form of silent communication — a way of translating emotion into image. I don’t seek to capture perfection, but rather the fleeting, the intimate, the familiar. Every photograph is both an observation and an offering. I’m especially captivated by food and still life. A loaf of bread, a child’s glance, a flower from my mother’s garden — these become metaphors for time, loss, love, and presence. Through visual storytelling, I hope to share something beyond language — a memory, a feeling, a breath — that speaks directly to the vie.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This series is about the quiet, moody feeling of being part of a much bigger world by focusing on the way blue light defines our modern experience. This series investigates blue not just as a color, but as the atmosphere of a "modern nostalgia." It evokes a cool, isolated feeling that captures our longing for moments just passed while acknowledging a nervous anticipation for the future. I wanted to capture those moments when we feel small or alone, yet strangely at peace within the vastness of our surroundings.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - After the Day - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I listen for what a moment wants to say — to see what can be, to view it in a way that gives opportunity and chance the time they need to reveal what others often do not, and most will never notice. My work covers anything that offers the opportunity to be photographed with observance and wonder. My pictures are taken more with feeling than with sight — guided by emotion and intuition rather than by what’s simply seen. From landscapes and nature to the places where people and the natural world coexist, to buildings and structures shaped by time — I follow whatever invites quiet attention. My work invites viewers to slow down and notice the beauty found in what’s often overlooked — and to remember that every moment, if given time, has something to say.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - The Slope Carries Its Memory - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My painting practice is an act of excavation — a continual attempt to retrieve what resists naming. Each canvas begins as a search for the invisible architectures of memory: traces of a gesture, a place once inhabited, or a voice that has dissolved into silence. I paint to understand how absence becomes form — how what cannot be said still insists on appearing. Trained as a scholar of cinema and language, I have always worked in the threshold between the seen and the spoken. My early research on Brazilian and Eastern European avant-garde film revealed to me that every image carries the memory of time passing — not as a narrative but as an emotional residue. Painting allows me to approach that residue directly, without dialogue or plot, through color, texture, and the layered rhythm of marks. The surface becomes a palimpsest where light, loss, and perception meet.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art resonates with a sense of mystery, poetry, lyrical rhythm, and movement of patterns in nature and our environment. I am intrigued by symbolism and impressions which I like to present in a contemporary and abstract style with brilliant colors. Each painting is a product of deep reflection, meditation, and emotions that come from within. I enjoy bringing these bright compositions to my viewers with oils, acrylic, watercolors, and mixed media. Over the last several years I have been particularly interested in and exploring the interplay between forms, nature, and the environment which led me to work on a series of paintings on the earth called ‘Ridges’. My series of paintings depict the earth as seen from above.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Dinner Conversation (Detail) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My artwork serves as a visual narrative that encourages reflection on topics often considered taboo. I employ a variety of mediums as conduits for social justice; shedding light on issues such as women’s healthcare, sexual assault, and gender stereotypes. Much of my work draws inspiration from designs, patterns, and motifs found in antique dinnerware and portraiture. Through the layering colors and use of both classical, and modern techniques, I create a sense of elegance and nostalgia that warmly invites viewers to engage more deeply with the imagery. My work stimulates communal discussion around sensitive subjects, breaks down barriers of silence, and prompts empathetic engagement. Through participating in these conversations we celebrate the strength, resilience, and complexity of people's experiences, challenge societal expectations, and foster a sense of community and empowerment.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Insistent Whispers - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My initial decision to document trees and other plant forms may have been unconscious; hauntings from my internal world of dreams and untold stories. The shadows gradually asserted themselves as markers pointing to a doorway to walk through or a stairway to ascend. Other times the apparitions hovered like delicate drawings etched by light. Eventually, they covered the entire picture plane. By allowing these whispers to come forth into consciousness, their symbolic language is a reminder of the ways the past influences present life. Listening to their call and remembering that we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms – the echoes of our ancestors, our parental influences, our hidden dramas - and engagement with the mystery of these is key to becoming truer to who we are.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work in watercolor and ink is a quiet conversation with the natural world—an attempt to listen closely and respond with care. Visiting the wild landscapes of Montana and Washington State, I am always drawn to the subtle patterns of growth, decay, and resilience in nature. I spend time sketching outdoors, letting the shapes of leaves, branches, and shifting light guide me. In the studio, those impressions become layered washes and intricate marks that reflect both observation and memory. I’m fascinated by the tension between structure and looseness, precision and fluidity—how nature holds both. Painting is my way of paying attention, of slowing down, and of honoring the complexity and calm I find in wild places.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“A deep dive into tessellations energized my obsession with ceramic piecework. In this body of work, over 1034 clay pieces were individually formed to complete the 3D abstract design on wooden bases. I started the process with two 5.5" pentagon-shaped pieces of plywood &amp; one 3.5" triangle shape. A lump of clay was deposited on each of the three shapes &amp; then, I designed the clay to fit each pattern. These clay pieces were coated with oil, &amp; plaster was poured over the clay. When the plaster was set, the molds were ready &amp; the repetition began. Using an oversized padded mallet, clay was pounded into the press molds. Once the clay forms were released, I went over each one with my fingertips dipped in water—smoothing the form &amp; removing excess cornstarch. After the clay dried, the pieces were sanded with steel wool before the bisque firing. By simply rearranging the 14.5” x 14.5” wooden bases &amp; using various glazes &amp; color combinations, additional shapes &amp; pieces of artwork were created.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Knight &amp;amp; Knave - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This painting presents myself, done up and undone, as the titular foils of the Knights and Knaves puzzle— one who only speaks the truth, and one who always lies. The knight refuses eye contact, either from naked shame or her enraptured, unbroken focus on the knave. Lying is a freedom she covets. Staring straight at the viewer, the knave dares you to question her honesty. After all, is she not beautiful? Is she not more deserving of love? Is she not real? Depends who you’re asking.

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - What Do You Bring to the Table? - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My practice moves between glass and light, exploring how materials hold memory, transform under fire, and project light into space. I often use glass fusing as a way of painting with transparency, layering color so it shifts with illumination and deconstructs into multiple dimensions. Works like Remembrance recall my time by a lake in Haliburton, where light and water intertwined to create fleeting, multidimensional reflections. My ceramic cup Black Cat with Teal Eyes draws on traditional vessel forms while integrating sculptural detail, blending function with narrative. My plasma pieces extend this further, using glass as a vessel for energy itself, where light becomes both form and subject. I draw on my Chinese heritage and use color as a bridge to recall ancient times, while also engaging with contemporary questions of perception, time, and transformation. By combining techniques rooted in tradition with experiments in new media, my practice cross object and projection.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Routine Ascent - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This series is about the quiet, moody feeling of being part of a much bigger world by focusing on the way blue light defines our modern experience. This series investigates blue not just as a color, but as the atmosphere of a "modern nostalgia." It evokes a cool, isolated feeling that captures our longing for moments just passed while acknowledging a nervous anticipation for the future. I wanted to capture those moments when we feel small or alone, yet strangely at peace within the vastness of our surroundings.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - The Offering - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My work often deals with the intersection of the spiritual and the material, that which is both visible and invisible. This series sprang from an increasing interest in Vanitas paintings, the work of Antonio Lopez Garcia, and the overflowing bowls of odd-looking fruit and vegetables from our backyard garden. Forms I have delighted in every day the past few months. Beginning with a process of digital collage my works evolve as I paint. Objects, and spaces, materialize or disappear. Blurring genres between expressionist still life, and landscape, these scenes are invented, impossible and gesture towards that which is artificial. In a time when we are disparate from nature, in which reality is often considered to be a matter of perspective it seems impossible to paint directly from life. Instead, I piece together images from the past, weaving light filled scenes amidst ambiguous dark fields.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - In-Sana Tea: Dove Dream Blend - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My work explores the fragile boundary between reality and imagination, memory and dream. I draw from personal experience, childhood play, and spiritual searching, transforming them into visual narratives that are at once intimate and universal. In one series, I explore abstract currents, recalling the freedom of early imagination before the weight of adulthood. In another, a character I developed named Arty (Ish is his alter ego when he puts on a gas mask) confronts a world of cube characters who represent conformity and confusion. The In-Sana Tea series pours this inquiry into dreamlike still lifes, where teapots release oceans and windows open into realms of sleep and fractured perception. Symbols, both sacred and everyday, guide my practice, becoming metaphors for questions of identity, faith, cultural inheritance, and the persistence of wonder. Ultimately, my work seeks to chart the shifting terrain of perception itself, while keeping alive the spark of childlike imagination.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art uses hyperrealism, maximalism, and the juxtaposition of decay and beauty to open a window into intimate parts of the world that most people don’t get to see. I explore how the strange and unusual within the dirty cracks of life compost into a host for rebirth and growth. My intensive process of meticulously layering oil paints, water color, or colored pencil reflects the intricate nature I find hiding in the details of the peculiar. The result plays witness to an unexpected reflection of how the nuances and experiences of life sculpt the human figure and the environment around them. My paintings are initiated and guided by my experiences of real people and shared memories within their communities. I am particularly attracted to the endless variation of expression and detail within different individuals. My work creates a visual melody comprised of human emotion that becomes immortalized within the canvas.”</image:caption>

It started out as just raw adventuring until I began taking my camera along to photograph the beautiful interface between industry and the natural world. I specifically became fascinated with the underground workings of the vast system of abandoned mines under us. With long exposure photography and the use of both natural and artificial lighting, I have captured the beauty of countless mines from far below Pennsylvania to the dry canyons of Colorado. For many of these mines, it may very well be the first and last time they will be photographed before nature reclaims them entirely.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Filtered Light - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“As a plein air landscape painter, I’m drawn to the power of color and light, and the way they can completely change the mood of a space in an instant. Every time I step outside to paint, I’m reminded that nature is never still—the sun shifts, shadows stretch, and colors sharpen or fade. My paintings are my way of capturing those moments and translating them into something lasting. Sometimes it’s the strength of morning light dragging shadows across an open field, other times it’s the weight of autumn trees glowing against the late-day sun. I use bold, decisive brushstrokes and strong contrasts to not just record what I see, but to give shape to the energy and atmosphere of the landscape. For me, painting outdoors is about more than the view, it’s about being present, noticing the details most people pass by, and carrying that experience back into the work. Each painting is a reminder to slow down, look closer, and connect with the land in a real and honest way.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work explores the intersection of identity, marginality, and resistance through portraiture and figurative representation. Rooted in queer and punk subcultures, it documents lives and bodies that exist outside mainstream narratives. Using acrylic on canvas, my process begins with live modeling, drawing, and photography, fostering intimate engagement with my subjects. This method heightens attention to physicality, emotion, and the social forces shaping identity. By foregrounding queer, working-class, and subcultural figures, my art challenges norms of gender, beauty, and social worth. Through layered transparency, detail, and symbolism, I explore vulnerability as resistance. Ultimately, my work invites dialogue on exclusion, representation, and the power of art as a space for agency and recognition.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - The Evening Pond; Coronavirus Pause; By Itself; Whale Medicine - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This collection includes five paintings created between 2020 and 2025, each reflecting on different aspects of introspection, emotional depth, and transitional states. THE EVENING POND — Oil on canvas, 40 × 50 cm, 2024 A tranquil waterscape capturing the stillness of dusk. The mirrored surface of the pond becomes a metaphor for inner peace and contemplation. CORONAVIRUS PAUSE — Oil on canvas, 97 × 77 × 5 cm, 2020 A powerful response to global lockdown, expressing vulnerability, isolation, and collective stillness through layered brushwork and muted tones. BY ITSELF — Oil on canvas, 40 × 50 cm, 2021 An intimate portrayal of solitude as a space of restoration and self-reflection. WHALE MEDICINE — Acrylic on canvas, 60 × 70 cm, 2025 A dreamlike work inspired by poetry, invoking the whale as a symbol of subconscious healing and deep spiritual reflection.“</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nancy's interest in watercolor began at an early age. She took a few classes, painted on her own and illustrated her handwritten Masters essay in watercolor (MA in Spirituality, Mundelein College, Chicago, IL). But she did not have the opportunity to seriously pursue her watercolor painting until she attended an art retreat. Co-directing the retreat was Marika Popovits, an internationally recognized painter. Marika recognized Nancy’s “touch” for watercolor. Her encouragement was a turning point for Nancy and Marika began to tutor her. Marika and Nancy share love of painting, in addition to the deep pursuit of spiritual consciousness. Nancy was learning from a master. As Nancy improved under Marika’s instruction, she learned glazing, and the finer, classic aspects of watercolor. Her painting, “Autumn Light” has been in the Mozaik Gallery in Santa Fe. Another will appear in "Novum Artis", November issue. She has also been selected for the Beyond 2025 international exhibition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This little girl was watching us as a small group of Americans came trooping through her village, intent on learning more about the role of women in rural Cambodian communities. It was a casual photo, taken quickly, but it expresses both her curiosity and uncertainty about the invasive strangers.I grew up in a family of photographers – both my grandfather and father were award-winning amateur photographers, and my father was well known for his slide travelogues on many parts of the world. I received my first box camera at the age of seven and haven’t stopped taking pictures since. Keeping up with changes in camera technology has been a continuing challenge. Only recently, now that I’m retired from 50 years of teaching at Gettysburg College, have I found time to submit photos for exhibition. My digital images have been accepted by juried shows in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Virginia, Massachusetts, Washington and Maryland.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Through painting, my work explores the cyclical nature of trauma, decay, and social isolation around my disillusionment with the American Dream as a transgender individual. My fascination lies with landscapes that do not exist in our reality but mimic and allude to the vast spread of environments found within the continental United States, creating abstracted psychological landscapes. In particular, I have an innate interest in the myth built around the apocalyptic landscape, presenting a world that does not yet exist as a metaphor for the loaded home space, and how I find comfort within the post-human realm. The land, whether it exists physically or metaphysically, becomes a place of solace and queer homecoming as I work through my own feelings around contemporary events. Elements of the landscape are warped enough to be clockable as different to create a relationship between Otherer and Othered, where the viewer is put in the place of deciding which place in the dynamic they are.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Threshold of the Quiet Structure - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>‘Threshold of the Quiet Structure’ is a photographic abstraction built from a single architectural fragment, mirrored and stripped down to its essential tension. The work occupies a space between clarity and disorientation — a moment where form becomes both recognizable and alien. The piece reflects my ongoing interest in structures that exist at the edge of perception, where light carves out the boundaries of silence and darkness becomes a stabilizing force. By compressing the complexity of the urban environment into a disciplined geometry, the image becomes a threshold: a place where the viewer confronts stillness, density, and the subtle psychological weight embedded in the built world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>László Gálos collodionist, visual artist and performer (Budapest, 1978 -) Hungary As a creator, he explores the relationship between the subjective and „objective” reality. Testing the limits of perception and cognizance, since 2015 he has almost exclusively been using wet plate collodion in his photographs. His photographic works has been displayed at seventeen solo exhibitions as well as at more than a hundred and fifty group exhibitions and festivals in sixteen countries. At the same time, in his performative works, the reflection on the interaction of the physical and virtual worlds, and the investigation of their relationship is gaining more and more emphasis. He has been performing regularly since 2018. His performances, video works and stage works have been played in six countries. He has won the creative scholarship of the National Cultural Fund of Hungary eight times since 2017. In 2017 and 2019, he won the main prize at the Szentes Nude Photography Biennial. He is a member of the InstArt Group, the L1 Independent Artists Association of Public Utility and the Association of Hungarian Photographers. He works as a photo editor for Hungarian oppositionist newspaper Népszava.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Blackbird - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My work revolves around the emotional resonance of objects, the way they absorb time, memory, and human presence. Still life, often perceived as static, becomes a medium for storytelling, where the arrangement of ordinary things reveals the invisible traces of human presence. I am drawn to the aesthetics of the mundane, to the poetry hidden in chipped coffee cups, crumpled paper, and the familiar clutter of daily life. I am particularly interested in the way familiar objects transform under the weight of displacement. After relocating from my hometown to Los Angeles, I began working with the personal artifacts I carried with me as a means of understanding loss and adaptation. Still life, to me, is not just about arrangement — it is about storytelling. Each object carries its own weight of existence, shaped by the hands that held it, the places it has been, and the silence it inhabits.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“With concentrations graphite and other 2D media, my work investigates themes rooted in identity, mental states, and complex relationships with the external world. Often surreal in nature, much of my work tends to merge architectural elements, portraiture, and landscape together to examine how the natural and built environment influence perception, cognition, and everyday experience. Through detailed textures and a strong emphasis on realism, I create dream-like compositions that remain grounded in reality. Ultimately, my creative practice is driven by a desire to spark dialogue, challenge perspectives, and create engaging spaces where viewers can reflect on their own relationships with the world around them.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m a self-taught painter from the Pacific Northwest working in oil on canvas layered with oil pastel. My practice is rooted in representational figuration: oil builds presence and solidity, while pastel interrupts or exposes what resists containment. This dialogue reflects my interest in memory, vulnerability, and identity. I’m drawn to subjects that reveal tension—tenderness alongside defiance, humor with loss, beauty tangled with imperfection. At its core, my practice records shifting personal and cultural layers that insist on persistence, presence, and complexity.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Through paint, scraps, and passion I tackle my battle with mental illness, gender identity, and universal cruelty while stopping to also appreciate the beauty of existence. Oil, acrylic, mixed media, and relief printing can define my portfolio mainly, however I wish to dive into sculpture and screen-printing when my schedule allows it. Recycled materials such as paper bags, plastic, and scrap fabric are also a cornerstone of my mixed media pieces and wearable art (shirts, patches, stickers, etc.). Pieces are meant to be just as messy and chaotic as the human psyche. This lends me to describe myself as an abstract artist heavily inspired by the works of abstract impressionists, Francisco Goya, Medieval prints, and other art that bridges terror into the everyday mind. I am also inspired by illustrators and cartoons as they are what inspired me to start this path.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work crosses boundaries between languages. It’s influenced by Western art training as well as Chinese poetry of mountains and rivers and brush calligraphy. It reflects historically ‘Asian’ approaches to organizing space, which were later adopted baby artists in the West. While Western 2-D divides forms, figure differs from ground, nature knows no such separation. There's no empty space. There’s no center of identity. No inside or outside. My work attempts to capture that natural sense of unity. I pay homage to that which sustains us: the air, the fire, the land and the water.”</image:caption>

I use traditional image-editing software as my digital canvas, allowing me to reinterpret reality or invent entirely new visual experiences. Each piece is a direct reflection of the emotions I experienced during its creation—ranging from serenity to emotional distress. The color palette in every image is key to communicating these emotional states, making color an essential element in my artistic language.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“After years of painting with acrylics and digital art software, I have discovered the delights of assemblage. Working in three dimensions is much more fun than being confined to two. The components of my sculptures come from thrift stores, flea markets, and eBay. More than once, something I picked up from the sidewalk has ended up in an art piece. Among the objects that I especially like are picture frames, kitchen implements, bird and animal carvings, children’s toys, jewelry, finials, tassels, doilies, and all sorts of hardware. Most of the time, I begin an assemblage without a clear idea of where it is going; rather, I try to combine two items in an interesting way, search for a compatible third, and so on. To varying degrees, I favor symmetry in my art, but I also enjoy disrupting that symmetry. Some of my sculptures were inspired by coats of arms, and some by modern pinball machines, with their colorful, many-leveled complexity.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I see the world differently now. The camera, which narrows the field of vision, has actually expanded my vision. When I realized I was viewing reality as if it were a series of photographs, I initially questioned that perspective. Now, I know my perception is enhanced and enriched from my pursuit of photography. An already dynamic and interesting world has become more so. I am delighted by quality of light, vibrancy of color, unexpected and often unnoticed detail. The stunning structure of an orchid, the intricate ornamentation on an older building, a street scene, or dishes stacked in a dish drainer are fascinating to me. Abstractions and patterns are richer and invite investigation. My subject matter is limitless. Anything that appeals to my eye is fair game for my camera.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>WINTER 2026 - Anchored in Comfort - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My work explores nostalgia, whimsy, and emotion through bold color and playful imagery. My inspiration began with my dog, Knox, as I painted him resting on my couch. That simple moment sparked my interest in capturing the quiet beauty and comfort found in my everyday life by the beach. I am drawn to small, joyful details that evoke warmth and familiarity, from sailboats on the water to the simple happiness of home. These scenes often carry both a sense of calm and energy, blending reality with imagination to create storybook like scene. Through bold patterns and repeating colors in oil and acrylic, I create cohesive, whimsical scenes that celebrate connection, freedom and joy. My work invites viewers to rediscover the nostalgia of childhood and the comfort of beloved pets through a blend of real and imaginary experiences created through paint.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The spring reminds me of the cycles. The new blooms recall the time of your passing— a ring of flowers around your skull. In the beauty of you, I weep for the sacred moments that crack me open. Through grief, my heart was split. Hold me in your embrace. Comfort me in the darkness. Only then can I truly see the light. I am consoled by nature, from flower to seed, from seed to bloom.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Imagery from the unconscious is both the subject of my art and the fuel for my painting process. As I paint, I am in constant dialogue with spontaneously flowing imagery, as if I am both dreaming and, with an artist's eye, scanning the flow of imagery to determine which images I want to grab hold of and explore on my canvas. Painting seems a two-way process — not only does the artist create an image but that image changes and creates the artist throughout the painting process. Igniting the viewer's imagination is one of my main hopes for every painting so that the viewer too might be transformed. BIO: Jane Zich Is a San Francisco Bay Area artist whose award-winning artwork is exhibited nationally and featured on the covers of American Psychologist, Dream Time, Fiction Fix, Jung Journal: Culture &amp; Psyche, and Permafrost Magazine. Her book "PANTHER TRACKS Lessons from the Vision Journey Paintings" was published in 2025 (blurb.com)”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Veronica Rose Snead is an abstract painter disciplined in color and the exploration of the dot. Her body of paintings began an experiments in color theory and practices of intuition, however they became something much bigger than just the love of color. The dots can be perceived as inconsequential specks, but in groups they become forms and atmosphere outside of the bounds of our physical world. Her work is greatly inspired by philosophy literature such as Simone Weil, who believed that worshipping a cause beyond ones self is the path to spiritual enlightenment. Through a highly regimented practice, Veronica is driven by the beauty of mystery and what will be. Inevitability can only be dictated so much, and relinquishing one's self of that burden allows the spirit to flow, so the work comes into existence effortlessly.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Art is truly one of my greatest joys in life. Whether I am reading about an artist, visiting a museum, looking at art on my own walls or creating art in my studio. I am inspired by so many different art mediums and artists through the ages. I am particular to creating art that is messy, whether it's paint, matte medium or gelli printing the messier the more fun I seem to have. I am mainly inspired by color and I love to create pieces using color and black white.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am an artist’s artist, my work is rooted in abstraction, where I explore expressive, organic forms through a dynamic interplay of color and texture. I am drawn to scenes that ignite me through their color and tactile qualities, which become the foundation for my compositions. By selecting abstract, imaginary, and organic subject matter, I create pieces that evoke natural phenomena—such as water, mist, and organic growth—without literal representation. This approach invites viewers to connect on an emotional and introspective level, reflecting on universal aspects of the human condition.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I’m a first generation artist from rural Illinois, where my first introduction to clay came from agriculture, not art. Growing up alongside my mother’s flower farm, sowing seeds with her by hand every season, meant I spent a lot of my adolescence, literally elbow deep in our soil. This physical connection to our land has fostered a deep connection with the ceramic materials I use in my practice. Years of designing and building shelters, corrals, fences, and operating heavy machinery has instilled in me a hardworking problem-solving approach that is very prevalent in my ceramic practice. I design and fabricate my own tools like handmade osage wood ribs/knives, 3D-modeled extruder dies, laser-cut mylar stencils. Each piece emerges from this process of observation and invention that I learned working on my farm.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Spurred by dreams, and the idea that many things can be true all at once, Kylie’s art is a fluid retelling of what she sees in the world around her - literally and culturally. Sometimes centering on ideas more mundane and everyday, it often also contains elements more hidden as a magical place transition, transformation, and respect as its own beauty self made and claimed for it’s subjects. Kylie’s work has been published as a part of The Brooklyn Art Library. She has also studied at The Art Institute of Chicago and exhibited in Chicago, Los Angeles, and most recently Montclair Art Museum, The Manufacturers Village for the Garden State Art Weekend, and Art in The Atrium’s “Another Slice of Sweet Potato Pie.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Growing up in the desert southwest borderlands, the resiliency and richness of this land’s community and natural forms intertwining with one another has always been an inspiration in my life. This region is one that is frequently degraded- deemed dead, brown, useless- but those who are not a part of this community often divide and invoke hate over the people and nature living there, without understanding the beautiful abundance that this landscape and its people represent. Through my art, I aim to represent my desert life and borderland community through beautiful abundance against society’s materialistic, deprecating views. Colors and forms native to my homeland are constant inspiration, as well as their correlation to the sister cities I grew up in, El Paso, Texas &amp; Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. These plant forms flourish through brutal weather conditions similar to the ways in which my community thrives as one despite the harshest outside forces attempting to separate them.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The making of the work is a spiritual ritual that requires a dialog with the subject, materials and myself, often conducted by the grace of some unwritten poetry. It sometimes seems like the channeling of all the history of art that came before me to the work at hand.The path to a completed work is never the same. Sometimes it's a tango, other times it's a waltz. This work is from my current series of portraits that is inspired by both night and day dreams of my interaction with the subject. The face we present to the world is rarely the one we see in the mirror thus inspiring me to look deeper into each individual in search of how they became who they are. What life experiences and choices over time molded the face before me ? For me a portrait must express much more than a mere likeness. It can be an image as unique as the individual and pulse with the vitality of the life they lived. My work is my only voice in this wilderness of noise.”</image:caption>
