Ice Cave - Make it stand out “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?” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/doorways-luminescent-hallway-lFbMB monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c883d565-b8a6-4a4e-ba0f-9d0b75db0dcc/doorways.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Doorways’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a09e2c33-47b2-4a60-b03f-fe24cd0bf720/Luminescent+Hallway.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Doorways’ et al - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/suffocating-7nleb monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f319d9d0-4624-42b5-aea0-27ce53c27dc4/Suffocatng.png 2025 ART - Suffocating - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/flipped-spiraling-ember-ryk8a monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/209c1b17-f0ad-4a6f-b1cc-99fdc2462463/flipped.jpg 2025 ART - Flipped - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-cost-of-wealth monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1af44517-0722-4cb0-b66d-24ad2700530a/DSC00125-Enhanced-NR+%281%29.png 2025 ART - The Cost of Wealth - Make it stand out “My series is titled ‘In The Heart of The City.’ The city is the most diverse place in the world, with millions of people, passing bustling crowds yet making no meaningful connections, all complete strangers.

You feel the heart of the city thump inside you.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-beholder-mdjww monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3ccc310e-3676-4b2d-8adb-ee858f1f00c2/The+Beholder.jpg 2025 ART - The Beholder - Make it stand out “‘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?” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/art-by-kateryna monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6eda56da-070a-4190-afd1-34b556415710/art+by+katarina.jpg 2025 ART - Art by Kateryna - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/it-seems-thenbspshape-in-purple-dvorV monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/226d57ae-7af6-472e-8421-9b9b0e6ac9c5/It+seems+the+shape+in+purple.jpg 2025 ART - ...It Seems the Shape in Purple - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/foggy-belle-isle-portrait-5os7I monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7145e0d9-437f-4ade-bcf8-64ffa20f152e/Portrait.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Portrait’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/912d31e1-dcb4-4d66-888b-80f33cfbf4c1/Foggy+Belle+Isle.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Portrait’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/bath monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7b463164-f59d-49f1-9611-19e72c99ef1a/Bath.jpg 2025 ART - Bath - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/walk-the-line-on-thin-ice-nuclear-family monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/84622426-ab00-4a0e-8001-9a282ee09e0f/nuclear+family.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Nuclear Family’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e710601d-48e1-4dcd-b1dc-2eab64468de5/On+Thin+Ice.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Nuclear Family’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4f1f4e3f-b6a4-4d92-9272-7a121567be60/walk+the+line.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Nuclear Family’ et al - Make it stand out “My art has always been a way for me to augment strong, personal feelings about my observations and experiences going through this thing called life. 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”.

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. Since Damascus is a small city, it wasn’t unusual to pass by a couple of friends you know playing this game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5a5ca8ac-aecc-47b2-952c-91728b81f028/Fragmented_Echoes.jpg 2025 ART - ‘A Typical Day in Damascus’ et al - Make it stand out “Everything can be broken down into pieces, even cultures, religions, and languages. 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.

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.

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.“ https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/rn8lk366jqdk7cjmnild4rsn10arze-4nj4c-wl6yk monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e44607e8-41d1-4ca1-912f-7672d9afa14e/Small+World+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Small World’ - Make it stand out ‘Small World’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2137a4f5-b99b-4796-917f-cddd7ca21e49/Painting+South+Philly.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Small World’ - Make it stand out ‘Painting South Philly' https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/rn8lk366jqdk7cjmnild4rsn10arze-4nj4c monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8db5b95b-5987-4cf0-bffd-42afdabed40f/Reflections+on+17th+Street+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Reflections on 17th Street’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Reflections on 17th Street’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d514fee1-8e67-4558-8dc3-0708981b2ff4/Train+Shed+c.1900+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Reflections on 17th Street’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Train Shed c. 1900’ https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/time-again monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/931d1951-5b61-4c6b-9b91-1e9382eb0fa3/time+again.jpg 2025 ART - Time Again - Make it stand out “Working with acrylic texture media, upcycled collage materials, oil, and cold wax, Camille draws out the patterns and layers of complexity that define our natural world.

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."“ https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/at-the-ravine monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1d8eb396-629e-464a-8e44-6fe8dda7e3a1/Thais-Glazman-At-the-Ravine-%28After-War%29-2024-ink-on-paper-42.5a-x-55a.jpg 2025 ART - At the Ravine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/return-the-visit monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/323ea666-3e07-4373-b5a1-73eea9a0d12f/ReturntheVisit.jpeg 2025 ART - Return the Visit - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/gil monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e31f15ca-f070-4340-8bdf-e88798125b12/Gil.JPG 2025 ART - Gil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/distortion monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3855c1c8-0822-49a9-99eb-f89ffeb49ab3/img20241023_13142956-2+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - Distortion - Make it stand out Photographed on 35mm Black and White Film https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/flipped-spiraling-ember monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a373ecfa-7cd6-429f-b97e-116cf2e8e2de/ember.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Ember’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bd19657d-92a6-4f59-9807-a758945ba6e6/spiraling.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Ember’ et al - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/dear-rodeo monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cd6bd730-f6c7-4c6b-b87c-163a5ef003ca/dear+rodeo.jpg 2025 ART - Dear Rodeo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0e5b53d0-c162-43ce-9a84-e1d6daf39ef9/dear+rodeo5.jpg 2025 ART - Dear Rodeo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/368c12af-ace4-4357-a52c-6eee29033805/dear+rodeo3.jpg 2025 ART - Dear Rodeo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/de4e792f-1b2b-4962-a375-f6109cb6f80b/dear+rodeo4.jpg 2025 ART - Dear Rodeo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/48779210-6bca-4a70-9e02-01051f5596ec/dear+rodeo2.jpg 2025 ART - Dear Rodeo - Make it stand out “Dear rodeo is a look in to the world of the North East rodeo circuit.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/flame-touched-trapped-in monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9a6af6c1-5471-463a-a8e1-aaf5ce7fe3c0/Flame+Touched.jpg 2025 ART - Flame Touched; Trapped In - Make it stand out “‘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.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ff8d1e0b-335d-4354-8119-70203ad96ad9/Trapped+In.jpg 2025 ART - Flame Touched; Trapped In - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-opening monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d25e5ce5-4ceb-47a6-a2f5-ff01a6cff0e5/The+Opening.jpg 2025 ART - The Opening - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/one-of-a-kind-lagniappe-sunglasses monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c313949c-deb7-46af-a23f-e6f6cd8ac458/one+of+a+kind.jpg 2025 ART - ‘One-of-a-Kind’ et al - Make it stand out One-of-a-Kind https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/86cbf2cd-a72f-4031-97de-ba7dbcea903e/lagniappe.jpg 2025 ART - ‘One-of-a-Kind’ et al - Make it stand out Lagniappe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dcfd107e-ddba-443e-bcad-67f228835289/sunglasses.jpg 2025 ART - ‘One-of-a-Kind’ et al - Make it stand out Lagniappe; Sunglasses https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/hyowon-and-butterflies monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/42ed15d5-c697-4b04-9c67-5ec3510d065e/paolo_morales-hyowonAndButterflies2022.jpg 2025 ART - Hyowon and Butterflies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-way-we-are monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b2c57975-d71b-478f-bbb6-741db8c43ece/oNGiCyY7oe7TYxcw.png 2025 ART - The Way We Are - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/61c84c5a-60b3-4ce8-aac3-61a5db388bc4/Harris_Journey_alabaster-steel_27L+x+7w+x+14h+_2018.jpg 2025 ART - The Way We Are - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/66766113-342e-4a88-b99a-bf0ce4dabe56/Harris_TheWayWeAre_bronze_7%E2%80%9Dx12.5%E2%80%9Dx5%E2%80%9D_2008.jpg 2025 ART - The Way We Are - Make it stand out “The purpose of my artwork is to stimulate a perceptual, internal and intellectual response for the viewer: a visual that speaks to life's experiences and universal connections.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/hikari-no-kizu-light-through-scars monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/936b3765-0968-45fc-88e8-4f3bcabb5653/Nicolas-Kalogeropoulos-hikarinokizu-2.jpg 2025 ART - Hikari no kizu - light through scars - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cc073b0f-8b9b-4dde-9a90-c89c50ce9b74/Nicolas-Kalogeropoulos-hikarinokizu-4.jpg 2025 ART - Hikari no kizu - light through scars - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/when-the-rain-hits-the-snake-in-the-head monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f85874d5-95a7-4827-9d84-5d044c293e42/Untitled+%28Stack%29_crayon+and+oil+on+panel_30+x+30+inches_2024.jpg 2025 ART - When the Rain Hits the Snake in the Head - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/36ba2966-84b2-4349-8b96-c9e5756ae0f6/1+through+25_crayon+on+canvas_48+x+60+inches_+2022.jpg 2025 ART - When the Rain Hits the Snake in the Head - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6511a02e-cca4-4f58-95a0-5ea7718f7f9d/When+the+rain+hits+the+snake+in+the+head%2C+Walking+through+the+dark+singing%2C+murmuring+to+myself%2C+take+out+some+insurance+on+me+baby_crayon+on+panel_55+x+160+inches_2022.jpg 2025 ART - When the Rain Hits the Snake in the Head - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/kingdom-animalia-selected-pages-in-an-erotics-of-ethnobotany monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bc823aa8-743b-4c29-9be5-9b03e9c47fcc/image5.jpeg 2025 ART - ‘Kingdom Animalia’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Kingdom Animalia’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/28199707-d3c0-4ef8-99d1-09d20d7e804c/image4.jpeg 2025 ART - ‘Kingdom Animalia’ et al - Make it stand out Selected Pages in 'An Erotics of Ethnobotany' https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/one-on-a-way monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/087f3a7b-5230-4047-8613-c570f9772ecf/One+on+a+Way.jpg 2025 ART - One on a Way - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/giving-back-family-golden-years monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/396d92ae-dc95-432e-9fe8-2339eb0b8fd8/Giving+Back.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Giving Back’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Giving Back’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/68fa9a0e-aae6-4c28-8f47-08cbbe7c11e3/Family.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Giving Back’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cdd46aed-77ee-4e74-bcb3-fead99cda707/Grandmother+Praying.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Giving Back’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Grandmother Praying’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6195710d-7016-44e5-9ba1-71c597f4b356/Golden+Years.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Giving Back’ et al - Make it stand out ‘Family’ https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/find-me-through-the-grey monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0fad2fc9-a9c7-4a8d-bbca-a486baed3cea/Collins-Find-Me-Through-the-Grey.jpg 2025 ART - Find Me Through the Grey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/after-ii monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5faa1a0b-8a84-4516-9137-6274d22dc404/J_Miller+After+II.jpg 2025 ART - After II - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/wormtea monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d1c1458d-7a74-4dfd-89f1-c3dcca7203cc/Charusheela+Artwork+%282%29.jpg 2025 ART - Charusheela - Make it stand out As a self-taught artist & 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 & 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 & 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/immersion monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c1110e83-49bd-4831-944a-88613e59391d/Immersion.JPG 2025 ART - Immersion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/tyla monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/912a1102-913f-45c8-a8cb-34c3a953e8ca/Tyla.jpg 2025 ART - Tyla - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/untitled-series monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f73b692a-0a01-4c79-be09-9b90610d9260/unnamed+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - Untitled Series - Make it stand out “My multidisciplinary artwork in painting, encaustic, photography, printmaking and sculpture is centered on the natural world, both the corporeal, such as birds and animals, as well intangibles.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/ethereal-embrace monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/09cfdbf8-82c7-446f-a029-f8279fddf550/Ethereal+Embrace.jpg 2025 ART - Ethereal Embrace - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/goodnight-kiss monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ff865af3-96f7-4e01-bd00-8d09982e4bf8/Goodnight+Kiss.jpg 2025 ART - Goodnight Kiss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3c440b2e-d74a-464a-85a5-f81c697720e3/The+Depths.jpg 2025 ART - Goodnight Kiss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e6f88c5d-d5b0-4e8c-809e-f3d81f388657/Love+that+Rejoices.jpg 2025 ART - Goodnight Kiss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e2faf574-d94e-48ff-8a2d-70385de1c76c/First+Snow.jpg 2025 ART - Goodnight Kiss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/43594d54-7a5d-40be-9e45-928347e9a5a8/Pavilionedd+in+Splendor.jpg 2025 ART - Goodnight Kiss - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/it-hurts monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fa4152ce-26d3-4ab8-bf5e-1314d8134cf7/It+Hurts.jpg 2025 ART - It Hurts - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/rn8lk366jqdk7cjmnild4rsn10arze-4nj4c-wl6yk-pwe2f monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/633ee476-6312-4d39-9dc2-52fa302848f3/Man+in+Mali+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Man in Mali’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0148b2ba-d349-4f48-9126-6baca49c73f4/Timbuctu+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Man in Mali’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/yesterdays-tomorrow monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ef880d19-4e59-4134-8a12-e0990a1e6026/Yesterday%27s+Tomorrow.jpg 2025 ART - Yesterday’s Tomorrow - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/fruit-salad-sunkissed-sweetness monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5a54dc29-101b-4b2b-8ec7-64fbe1995431/Sunkissed-Sweetness-copy.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Sunkissed Sweetness’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5204655f-7fed-4169-ab02-f53fbda03901/Fruit-salad.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Sunkissed Sweetness’ et al - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/no-to-impunity monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c8b83536-7ac3-43b6-a959-e3428137ea45/No+to+Impunity.jpg 2025 ART - No to Impunity - Make it stand out “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.

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.

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/ice-cream-pretzels-and-baked-goods monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/35ceb816-c16f-42c3-981d-eafebfd0a1d5/Ice+Cream%2C+Pretzels%2C+and+Baked+Goods.jpg 2025 ART - Ice Cream, Pretzels, and Baked Goods - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/between-reality-and-dream monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2a2f8975-fdf3-4023-8a39-603b59a82c48/Between+Reality+and+Dream.jpg 2025 ART - Between Reality and Dream - Make it stand out “I am an visual artist exploring the boundaries between dreams and reality, focusing on surrealism and multi-exposure photography.

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." https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/bark-beetle-volume-xiv-amp-xxxii monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9ff18103-b139-4c20-b62a-6beeca4d456c/Bark+Beetle+Book%2C+Vol.+XIV+-+Ars+datum+est.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Bark Beetle’ Series, Volumes XIV & XXXII - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9addba0b-4b46-4065-a590-2a5ebcd120e8/Bark+Beetle+Volume+XXXII+-+Obligate+Mutualism.jpg 2025 ART - ‘Bark Beetle’ Series, Volumes XIV & XXXII - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/wall-in-the-georgetown-steamplant-sidetracked-in-mineral monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b568d01d-3d85-42ac-a897-3aeb4ccbc7f0/Water+in+the+Georgetown+Steamplant.jpg 2025 ART - Wall in the Georgetown Steamplant; Sidetracked in Mineral - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/243a4e89-b32d-4368-ac17-1d3a95ffb725/Sidetracked+in+Mineral.jpg 2025 ART - Wall in the Georgetown Steamplant; Sidetracked in Mineral - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/a-wet-day monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cca47dbb-93da-4cc3-99e5-e6be10002490/A+Wet+Day.jpg 2025 ART - A Wet Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/empyrean-dive monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8d1a08f4-998d-472c-8387-f26d4cf5fecb/Empyrean+Dive.jpg 2025 ART - Empyrean Dive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/onlooker monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/582e7edf-1349-446b-afd4-2d2cd72dc5e1/Onlooker.jpg 2025 ART - Onlooker - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/breaking-through monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cdb37eb1-fc41-408e-9561-732da16a1886/Breaking+Through.jpg 2025 ART - Breaking Through - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/nerves-muscles-bones-blue-photo monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6a692444-e37e-4b01-b718-284dcdc29f99/Nerves+Muscles+and+Bones.jpg 2025 ART - Nerves, Muscles, Bones - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-candlestick-last-chance-on-the-way monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1e045617-7c86-4992-b5f0-87df42b902fe/The+Candlestick.jpg 2025 ART - The Candlestick - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/tradesmens-quilt-1 monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/026df20e-1cc4-4424-94d7-db7d593f9913/tradesmens+quilt.jpg 2025 ART - Tradesmen’s Quilt - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/fire-butterfly monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/59559c1f-89d1-4582-8e41-e13a2c2f2c8a/fire.jpg 2025 ART - Fire; Butterfly - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/253df9ea-a538-40a5-a071-509c386e8383/butterfly.jpg 2025 ART - Fire; Butterfly - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/portraits-of-marlene-dietrich-and-bette-davis monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a7dcfa5c-d328-4f3f-bd32-3cf5a65fbcf7/Portrait+of+Marlene.jpeg 2025 ART - Portraits of Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4d37bd6a-3db1-490f-a0ce-d15e767b326d/Portrait+of+Bette.jpeg 2025 ART - Portraits of Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis - Make it stand out “I am a professional artist and performer based out of Providence, Rhode Island.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/barren-in-bloom monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/eea490f2-1962-4d4e-ae9c-3f483e8cde92/IMG_1987+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - Barren in Bloom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/woman-life-freedom monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0f309ab4-b727-4198-8bbd-ced20081a82b/IMG_1992+Large.jpeg 2025 ART - Woman, Life, Freedom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/indigenous-peoples-in-medicine monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5457583d-ee1c-40f1-84ad-9762ac30f9a8/Indigenous+Peoples+in+Medicine.jpg 2025 ART - Indigenous Peoples in Medicine - Make it stand out “I'm a medical student in the Midwest who dabbles in art and loves history.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/flower-of-life monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3c614822-caf9-43bd-94b9-b9f414b5645e/Flower+of+life.jpg 2025 ART - Flower of Life - Make it stand out “Flower of Life, acrylic painting on canvas, the size of this work is 31"" × 31"".

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/berger-estranged monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/92789b91-e597-4fc8-a5ab-cf1b07499b9b/berger.jpg 2025 ART - Berger - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/leave-behind monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/827dbcb4-b31b-4a3b-8e11-786beb69ca5f/Leave+Behind.jpg 2025 ART - Leave Behind - Make it stand out “"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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/lighter monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/479bc5d7-046f-4759-91e7-73171c487f66/Lighter.jpg 2025 ART - Lighter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/santa-fe-idk monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d3a1fed9-6be1-4364-96dc-e76a5d35afee/Santa+Fe.jpg 2025 ART - Santa Fe; IDK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d89f5e46-745d-4a6a-96f9-c824f8783716/IDK.jpg 2025 ART - Santa Fe; IDK - Make it stand out “My influences are diverse. I love all forms of expressionism through art. I have learned that life is a constant, changing force, and I try to illustrate that through my art. 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?

During this trip, I photographed many visually captivating images in the style of street photography using a 35-millimeter film camera.

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.

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." https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/solar-time monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/44a46549-2486-4f90-bd29-4c7089c44c99/composite_framed_01.15_ext_3272x2000.jpg 2025 ART - Solar Time - Make it stand out “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.)

Hungary. I am self taught but have attended courses in painting and in craft materials. I work in mixed media, and my work is expressionistic, coming into being via a process of psychic automatism. More recently I have been experimenting with acrylic paint on canvas, working with pour and splatter technique to create visions of deep space.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/windows-of-opportunities monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/231ffdc9-00de-4cf3-aa47-f7b83754c948/mcdonald_windows+of+opportunities_2024+%281%29.JPG 2025 ART - Windows of Opportunities - Make it stand out “"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!” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/vitruvian-woman monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/69423c93-4c66-4a1b-8f39-76af2ebf5422/Vitruvian-Woman.jpg 2025 ART - Vitruvian Woman - Make it stand out “Vitruvian Woman seeks to exaggerate, skew, and poke fun at classical postures and proportions, as well as their orders. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/paleolithic-instinct monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e7a6cb1f-03d0-4b83-9e32-92c98554d092/PALEOLITHIC+INSTINCT+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - Paleolithic Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/tapestry-fireice monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b0ec5cbd-13be-41bd-b42e-da1b83302f74/tapestry.jpg 2025 ART - Tapestry; Fireice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8606a717-5cc6-4d1f-8b68-18917bfcfb0f/fireice.jpg 2025 ART - Tapestry; Fireice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-second-of-its-kind monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4c1ee89b-c257-4f03-a12e-7afa279b63af/The+second+of+its+kind.jpg 2025 ART - The Second of Its Kind - Make it stand out “I am an abstract artist specializing in handmade paper collages and vibrant, bold compositions.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/posthumanism-series monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d5764e32-6c11-4bc1-868c-7b4dac7afeb6/post+humanism+05.jpg 2025 ART - Posthumanism Series - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ea920adf-4125-4004-8c35-b3cdc1e735ca/post+humanism+series+08.jpg 2025 ART - Posthumanism Series - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/neola monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5aba2bdb-6223-419d-8a11-958ad53e8c21/Neola.jpg 2025 ART - Neola - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/azalea monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dd98197a-1cb1-4e9b-91f4-181fc98c2de2/Azalea.png 2025 ART - AZALEA - Make it stand out “AZALEA is a completely digital painting. I deliberately imitated the art nouveau style and created a biopunk-like alien creature on it, as if it grew out of the wall. Use bloody tentacles, teeth, blood vessels, and fungi to form divine wings. This is an illustration related to the protagonist of my animation/comic story series - Azalea, a mimetic existence.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/the-smoking-room-ii-the-breakfast-nook monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0016090d-6276-4c31-8fc1-f2bfc00544b0/PJAS+Submission+-+Hower%2C+Michael+Portfolio+%281%29-images-3.jpg 2025 ART - The Smoking Room II; The Breakfast Nook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f9bc09eb-f132-4a42-b508-d7de958aa1c1/PJAS+Submission+-+Hower%2C+Michael+Portfolio+%281%29-images-3.jpg 2025 ART - The Smoking Room II; The Breakfast Nook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/transcendence monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4a0b8b71-a6d1-41fc-aaee-f488436f7d53/Transcendence+%281%29.jpg 2025 ART - Transcendence - Make it stand out “As an architect and artist, I've always tried to participate in various fields of art.

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” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/dancing-letters monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/189759a2-d70c-4fd1-9460-8b367d9192a9/Dancing+Letters.jpg 2025 ART -

Intersections - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/breathe-gold monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f5a6e02e-435f-44f6-badd-8c4750a88fc4/Breathe+Gold.jpg 2025 ART - Breathe Gold - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/roots-kaleidoscope monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a5be47dd-57e1-4c91-965c-7d5580a896db/Roots+-+Sophia+Thurman.jpg 2025 ART - Roots; Kaleidoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cd834d64-552f-4456-a2b7-38e0e4141e4a/Kaleidoscope+-+Sophia+Thurman.jpg 2025 ART - Roots; Kaleidoscope - Make it stand out “My name is Sophia Thurman and I am currently a high school student based in Southern California.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/turquoise-ice-and-oranges monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c7117ffe-3ab7-4f9e-bcb9-2ab21d8e120e/Turquoise%2C+Ice+and+Oranges.jpg 2025 ART - Turquoise, Ice and Oranges - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/isis monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6c311363-5b1f-43fa-9b0a-401f752cf8f6/Isis.jpg 2025 ART - Isis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/coalesce monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5413a42b-5932-47ab-9d3a-9e6c3722526e/Coalesce.jpg 2025 ART - Coalesce - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/caffe monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9eb75077-6627-41ec-9f2f-937a5a6d8fb4/Caffe.jpg 2025 ART - Caffe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/painting-with-my-camera-daytime-fall monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d5d7599f-86dc-46df-8238-593c6f4ee9f4/Painting+with+My+Camera+-+daytime%2C+fall+%231.jpg 2025 ART - Painting with My Camera - Daytime, Fall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/urban-radians monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b5694d79-dddc-41c0-9568-f809a1f8e192/Fleur+Fall+Number+2.jpg 2025 ART - Fleur Fall; Urban Radians; Botanical Grid - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/eb90005a-c009-45f6-a86d-6a2afb58286c/Urban+Radians.jpg 2025 ART - Fleur Fall; Urban Radians; Botanical Grid - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/daa127eb-5db2-4eec-b7f2-024aa53298a3/Botanical+Grid+N+10.jpg 2025 ART - Fleur Fall; Urban Radians; Botanical Grid - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/arts/category/Artwork monthly 0.5 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025 daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/bloomenfolding-grn7b monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c48f497d-af57-41d3-a07f-f2fade4407ce/bloomEnfolding.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - bloomEnfolding “…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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/under-an-aurora-borealis-lit-sky monthly 0.5 2025-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ff73f6b7-983d-4d1a-9006-d425f819ff8e/Under+an+Aurora+Borealis+Lit+Sky.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Under an Aurora Borealis Lit Sky - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/aging-parent monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d4cee6e5-1b72-4482-94e3-38a0235fce34/Aging+Parent_Heidi+Brueckner_Oil%2C+Acrylic%2C+and+Paper+on+Canvas_35.5+x+47.5_2020.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Aging Parent - Make it stand out “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.

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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/perceptions-C4l4b monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ae2de37e-1150-49ec-a235-6853568960fd/IMG_0619.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Perceptions - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/slowing-down-XKMW9 monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1ec96b14-b4ae-4c55-8ad9-63316cceff7a/Slowing+Down.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Slowing Down - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/hollywood-calling-cX0f6 monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b9642073-3329-4b2a-83b6-c8d957221b2c/Hollywood+Calling.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Hollywood Calling - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/semester-abroad-falling-into-me-2ml19 monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e5243132-2b5a-466d-b33c-81d0051cf062/Semester+Abroad.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Semester Abroad; Falling Into Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5653c304-c3c6-4ede-a07b-751b81430831/Falling+Into+Me.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Semester Abroad; Falling Into Me - Make it stand out “As a watercolor artist, my work seeks to capture the delicate interplay of light, color, and emotion.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/muses-sMzJL monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b945974b-3be8-4e5b-b02e-c2db769a874e/Falk.Muses+%281%29.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Muses - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/mother-daughter-bsekZ monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/85dd1bcd-81a6-4cbe-950b-4ffd84e6f1c9/IMG_6438+%281%29.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Mother, Daughter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/new-york-city-at-night-JRW7Q monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e6fc4ab8-f7ed-41f7-afe9-31d2be110b4e/New+York+City+at+Night.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - New York City at Night - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/people-masquerading-as-themselves-2-aMfPn monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ea75b9cb-317e-4db0-97c3-64dbb628da42/People+Masquerading+as+Themselves+%232.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - People Masquerading as Themselves #2 - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/learning-to-swim monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2aa8fa6c-e0c2-4765-8cef-08edc8cfcec2/Learning+to+Swim.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Learning to Swim - Make it stand out “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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/for-lovefor-lack monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1d96ab99-c80c-4cd8-841f-28a04fca5b9b/IMG_0618.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - For Love/For Lack - Make it stand out 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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/sweet-nothings-as-i-am monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/efa9c741-1534-4e99-8674-f8d2525b6be9/Sweet+Nothings.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sweet Nothings; As I Am - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9d25ae79-20d7-4d73-9717-ccaaa2744181/As+I+am.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sweet Nothings; As I Am - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/self-portrait-in-studio monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f4dbb671-0417-48b0-9418-2ddee051af8a/Self+Portrait+in+Studio.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Self Portrait in Studio - Make it stand out “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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-center-could-not-hold-the-american-dream monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/16777557-17bf-4fe1-84ec-fb7906e21914/The+Center+Could+Not+Hold.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Center Could Not Hold; The American Dream - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1096a515-7cc1-4011-8332-5d3551e54e8a/The+American+Dream.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Center Could Not Hold; The American Dream - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/relationships-wild-mornings monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1326eb80-6449-4456-89c1-a8b2332d62b9/RELATIONSHIPS.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - RELATIONSHIPS; Wild Mornings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/53047e4a-a85d-46bc-905b-0ea7f793674a/WILD+MORNINGS.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - RELATIONSHIPS; Wild Mornings - Make it stand out ‘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 & 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'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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/red-satin monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/170895f9-a5b2-425c-81ea-cd750495b237/Red+Satin.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Red Satin - Make it stand out “Etienne Marquis is a channel island based artist whose work explores the twisted and visionary world of contemporary surrealism through the medium of oil paints.

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.

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.

Medium: Oils on a 10x10 canvas panel Artist Bio: Candice J, a burgeoning artist, discovered her passion for oil painting in November 2023, marking a pivotal moment in her creative journey. Despite lacking formal training, her innate talent and relentless curiosity fueled her enthusiasm for art. Born with a profound appreciation for family and music, Candice draws inspiration from these cornerstones of her life. Her artwork often reflects her deep love for family, capturing the essence and innocence of children in her close-knit circle. Music also serves as a muse, leading her to paint portraits of musicians whose melodies resonate deeply with her. Self-taught through experimentation and online resources, Candice began her artistic journey armed with raw talent and determination. She quickly adapted and honed her technique, demonstrating a natural ability to translate her observations onto canvas. Candice is particularly captivated by the interplay of light and shadow. Through meticulous brushstrokes and a keen eye for detail, she infuses her portraits with a luminous quality, bringing her subjects to life.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/burger-closing-soon-chicken monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7d2a0cb1-0173-4afe-bcad-a9a46250e9a4/PJAS+Submission+-+Win%2C+Eamon_page-0004.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Burger; Closing Soon; Chicken - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/db71c7f2-aab4-41c9-82af-17d3334cd606/closingsoon.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Burger; Closing Soon; Chicken - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f5ab6b2e-68cf-45fa-9a27-c64d83438eae/chicken.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Burger; Closing Soon; Chicken - Make it stand out Eamon Win's body of work revolves around an inherent persistence to project his perception of the spaces around him to embrace events of the past and the present. He creates oil paintings with the sole purpose of reminiscing and affirming his standings in reality. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, he has pursued methods of creating as an outlet of proving his artistry and vision of his surroundings. He graduated from Arizona State University with a BFA and has exhibited his works in galleries and markets.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/self-portrait monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/32c4b718-b9c2-4624-970b-b781b843a87e/Self+Portrait.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Self Portrait - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/sky-so-near monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/582d5007-1e9a-4274-88ba-ba32b5b56790/Sky+So+Near.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sky So Near - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/what-went-ye monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/246f17b1-2158-4416-8cfb-9d11a5c0885a/46FE2188-4F99-482A-8DA9-474CFA560B19+%281%29.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - What Went Ye - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/moments-before-snowfall monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/21a37e61-aef9-4584-b2e4-d66c02ecc776/Moments+Before+Snowfall.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Moments Before Snowfall - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/clavey-o-reflection monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8cc1e89a-c607-40ad-b744-956d0103eb96/Clavey+%27O%27+Reflection.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Clavey 'O' Reflection - Make it stand out “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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-house-is-black monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9759d200-5433-46d2-943a-5fb5154d1eaa/The+House+is+Black.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The House is Black - Make it stand out “I’m an artist and curator originally from Ukraine, now based in Israel.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/canyon-story monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8446f1e4-cbd9-4263-bcb6-dfb6dbed3e3d/Canyon+Story.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Canyon Story - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/untitled-1 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/49212d97-9f1d-4ca0-8616-7be50164a088/IMG_0818+%281%29.JPG SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Untitled - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8bb1040a-9993-4667-8861-ef8e1cd79418/IMG_0816+%281%29.JPG SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Untitled - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f45ed844-1463-4b58-9d9c-b49de07a227e/IMG_0820+%281%29.JPG SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Untitled - Make it stand out Emma Shleiger is a Russian visual artist and researcher working at the intersection of classical academic painting, portraiture, and cultural memory.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/untitled-4 monthly 0.5 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e668ba71-5b19-44cd-b459-9e93c921e739/5371552+%281%29.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Untitled - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/elowen monthly 0.5 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/04784826-a00c-49d0-bce4-191ba0c67fc3/image0+%281%29.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Elowen - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/sokcho monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d742a1b1-f8b2-4f6b-b846-e37e60bb0008/Sokcho.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sokcho - Make it stand out “I am a fifteen-year-old South Korean freshman living in the Bay Area of California.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/dhvhy70bx4t0mj59wiyj63jl10448g monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/its-only-tuesday-cold-world monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ef2ce127-2238-4b71-8689-2c81cf127fbb/Its+only+tues+2.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - It’s Only Tuesday; Cold World - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0a1b7292-8076-4dc4-a8d6-e01580a3601c/Its+Only+tues+22.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - It’s Only Tuesday; Cold World - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0f7dcf4f-c23c-454b-810e-80e990ec99b1/Cold+World.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - It’s Only Tuesday; Cold World - Make it stand out “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.

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/man-with-a-split-personality-confused-man-of-introspection monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bb25fbf4-8531-4b8f-aae9-596f8e120a6b/IMG_3081.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Man with a Split Personality; Confused Man of Introspection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8805438f-cfd7-4be5-8e20-9ebc36e3ab3a/11101+Lane_Alphonse.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Man with a Split Personality; Confused Man of Introspection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-cube monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/def65041-59ea-4f55-8a07-fbae67544181/The+Cube.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Cube - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/stump-house-direct-line-to-nature monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/95313761-21ea-4b6a-9302-b1b36e1b60e2/Stump+House.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Stump House; Direct Line to Nature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c27dac9c-5e02-4930-a3f9-3eff0cb5b66f/Direct+Line+to+Nature.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Stump House; Direct Line to Nature - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-color-of-spheres monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/89afa35a-cbb7-46a2-851a-1860b667e1a1/Sphere.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Color of Spheres - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/342901e2-067a-4f1d-94c9-30bb0916ce6d/The+Color+of+Spheres.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Color of Spheres - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/untitled-3 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7e270ca6-c0cb-4466-b395-3752ca5adf68/Untitled+3.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Untitled - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/behind-the-dissociative-looking-glass monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b2dd5138-1a95-4b5a-9f85-6b53211237c7/Behind+the+Dissociative+Looking+Glass.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Behind the Dissociative Looking Glass - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/fragile-cargo-installation monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d3f99678-56db-4159-9e8f-d090849bbc58/Fragile+Cargo+Installation.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Fragile Cargo Installation - Make it stand out “…Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/journey-to-the-light monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f5d1069f-c735-416e-b347-2bb211d02eec/Journey+to+the+Light.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Journey to the Light - Make it stand out “I am a self-taught artist with a deep passion for experimentation and storytelling—an emerging painter specializing in acrylic art on canvas, where every brushstroke unfolds a narrative.

I enjoy matching tone and catching little things others might overlook. My paintings often take six months to a year to complete.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/lesotho-34-di-shi monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4e5e5a03-771e-4385-b69c-555529407bb0/Lesotho+%2334%2C+Di+Shi.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Lesotho #34, Di Shi - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/rainy-day-puddles monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8cdbfcd2-e57f-4a2e-983d-31a4f775f242/whispers.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Whispers; Rainy Day Puddles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/861f0a2b-5605-431b-a5af-fbc30f6df618/rainy+day+puddles.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Whispers; Rainy Day Puddles - Make it stand out “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.

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.

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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/hamsa-aura-1 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4fc68b3b-7af2-43a1-9a06-2a515bfa0d90/Hamsa+Aura.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Hamsa Aura - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/camo-i monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1c34f1a1-ade6-46aa-a251-354d98dd289a/Camo+I.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Camo I - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/i-see-red monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1d25d38a-b61b-43ed-be1c-3a690826f888/I+see+red.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - I See Red - Make it stand out “I was first trained to paint by my father who studied painting at the Art Institute of Chicago.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/morning-sun monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d09cc39a-e0be-49ed-abbb-7b91402b4c14/Morning+Sun.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Morning Sun - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/free-the-songbird monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3052494d-0202-4c11-8f84-7c2698b5e26e/Free+the+Songbird+%282020-2022%29+2700px%2C+72ppi.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Free the Songbird - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/i675 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3fbf057d-9e0e-4cbc-a580-19730da53bec/I67.5.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - I67.5 - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-hand monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/91a1759b-3cdc-4536-9dfe-3b424ca817ff/Ena_Mork_Loretta_Acrylic_on_canvas+%282%29.JPG SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Hand; Woolf - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dd01f0ad-5e4a-468e-a5f7-8a4dd989cbce/Ena_Mork_Woolf+%281%29.JPG SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Hand; Woolf - Make it stand out “[Ena Mork] is a thirty-year-old artist, a political immigrant from Russia, who received her secondary education in the direction of the ancient folk art and craft of Russia.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In a society that romanticizes motherhood, Between Us confronts the coexistence of connection and disconnection, love and loneliness, presence and absence.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/touched-by-midas-liquid-crystal-independently-together monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/65453f6e-f5e3-4c88-9f3f-c810ec94477f/touched+by+midass.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Touched by Midas; Liquid Crystal; Independently Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/adb961aa-91ce-4e24-aeb8-1aa8d1ac6269/Liquid+Crystal.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Touched by Midas; Liquid Crystal; Independently Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2c20ae87-e3ae-48fc-9e94-728958ae8889/Independently+Together.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Touched by Midas; Liquid Crystal; Independently Together - Make it stand out “An “Escape Artist” one who creates abstracts in a purely aesthetic view point thoughtfully guiding attention to any subject with beauty and artistic flair.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-present-past monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/39edeefb-0ec2-4908-84f0-cebf53b4d165/The+Present+Past.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Present Past - Make it stand out Kristian Zara is an artist whose educational background and ex-periences have significantly shaped his artistic journey.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/afternoon-delight monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f391c8ec-e156-48bc-91d0-30ad7bb4fc1a/Afternoon+Delight.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Afternoon Delight - Make it stand out “My artistic expression is intricately woven into human experiences, reflective practice, and experiential learning through creation.

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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-windows-of-love-bring-light-to-the-world monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e7e9c6b0-e8be-4056-bbed-f155f23577fc/The+Windows+of+Love+Bring+Light+to+the+World.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Windows of Love Bring Light to the World - Make it stand out “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.

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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/present-moment monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2cbbc927-aed1-4ad0-aacd-32d46f35126e/Present+Moment.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Present Moment - Make it stand out “My visual language resides between organic and architectural form; a montage of fragments that are lyrical in movement, charged with emotions, and woven together with subliminal messages. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/impatient-egoism monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0459fc4d-016f-4f6a-9b74-1bc367d29844/Impatient+Egoism.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Impatient Egoism - Make it stand out Gonzalo Malagón is an artist who works primarily through photography. His interest in photography sparked from his father, Gonzalo Sr., who practiced it as a hobby. 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/abstract-series monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5ce49067-4c39-4896-aebb-6f796d43c128/Abstract+1.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - ‘Abstract’ Series - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c04c981e-a455-4290-b193-0f2b18a0649d/Abstract+3.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - ‘Abstract’ Series - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/linear-map-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b581f0cb-5e96-4c81-a208-bb7909bf4081/Linear.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Linear Map 2025 - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/borderline-22-amp-25 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3c8311c4-fc94-42c2-9c0a-e3dbbafe22c9/Borderline.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Borderline #22 & #25 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/499d8d40-5439-408f-ba26-86092ff7676a/Borderline+25.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Borderline #22 & #25 - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/in-the-absence-of-words monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b69d1752-2fee-4f1b-bca0-f9baa652ffa8/In-The-Absence-Of-Words.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - In the Absence of Words - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/proper-chopper-bobber monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9430e543-ea77-4508-a3e9-690b3cc884c5/Proper+Chopper+Bobber.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Proper Chopper Bobber - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/aspen-glow monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/75d78063-3837-4ca3-973a-bbe5e3717d82/Aspen+Glow.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Aspen Glow - Make it stand out “I am deeply inspired by the immediacy of old Russian oil paintings which I try to continually communicate in my paintings as well; I am inspired by the idea that “less is more”. Always pushing and striving for a deeper understanding, my direction and vision for my paintings is to be more refined in conveying the love and passion of the artistic sensory experience by celebrating intensity, color harmony, clear value separation and thick textured paint.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/famous-blue-raincoat monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0147217e-6ca8-45da-b4cb-f716e925649b/Famous+Blue+Raincoat.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Famous Blue Raincoat - Make it stand out “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 & 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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/bloodchild-v monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a1b797f2-7ea7-41da-ad14-ec5498c41fec/Bloodchild+V.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Bloodchild V - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/gold-entropic monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d9ff29d1-5b14-4724-9fb1-18bd9ff42629/Gold+Entropic.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Gold Entropic - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/growing-apart monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d8ea3007-0140-4bff-9d4a-73b14a00c637/GrowingApart_FloMeissner.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Growing Apart - Make it stand out Florian Meissner is an artist and illustrator from Germany.

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.

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 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/man-of-steel monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1f984cbc-f8cd-4af7-a1f7-95a1970cc95e/Man+of+Steel.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Man of Steel - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/super-shades-at-her-window monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8bf2bafb-2d39-4688-a9bd-5b3a62e5d50c/Super+Shades.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Super Shades; At Her Window - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ceba9b63-8c3f-4261-a0dc-e002744bdef5/At+Her+Window.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Super Shades; At Her Window - Make it stand out “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 & 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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/elvis monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/38ddc953-76e7-44cd-9aef-a065c0e1776f/Elvis.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Elvis - Make it stand out “Elvis was a cow that was bred for veal, but was rescued and lived his life at a sanctuary in New York.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/daisies-daisies monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0003fa48-5f81-4494-9ba5-07593a0dde2f/Picture2.png SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Daisies Daisies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/land-escape-triptych monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ea52507d-f3bf-4cde-a83c-93db04bc7247/Land+Escape+Triptych.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Land Escape Triptych - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/internal-echo-self-swaying-inward monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d9680df7-cefd-4a46-918c-32a931825ea8/internal+echo.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Internal Echo: Self Swaying Inward - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-guardian monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/62276e8a-1de8-4219-a739-8c560a887671/the+guardian.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Guardian - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/woman-on-a-train monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e7e0ad5a-45b7-4759-88cf-d5b440885995/Woman+on+a+Train.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Woman on a Train - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/june-13-2020 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d79e0db7-56b2-4754-b7ca-a9d39f44eb97/June+13+2020.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - June 13 2020 - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/chaotic-travels monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/74e3fba3-ee78-4df4-83ca-ccc95dc1360e/chaotic+travels.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Chaotic Travels - Make it stand out “Sim Garber is non-binary, pansexual, neurodivergent, and disabled.

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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-story-of-starting monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8f4221c5-0bc4-4d6c-b4a9-c04f4d28fc68/Story.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Story of Starting - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/heirloom monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dcc89793-b7bb-4cf3-9c60-28d2bf027c80/Heirloom.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Heirloom - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/altered-transactions monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/88a11183-08f7-4837-9262-6247e6e754bf/AT3.png SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Altered Transactions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0b44cb3e-515f-40bb-9fdc-e6e72cdecc08/AT2.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Altered Transactions - Make it stand out “Visual/Video artist and Veteran residing in the Capital Region of New York.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/prepare-a-face monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dde643e6-0c56-4103-8331-9c4326475fc9/Falk.PrepareaFace+%281%29.jpeg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Prepare a Face - Make it stand out 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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/ugh monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5f58680e-2534-42db-b1af-cd1b6ee358e2/Ugh.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Ugh - Make it stand out “Through painting and drawing, I explore the relationship between myself and my hometown.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/duomo-di-milano-ii monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/43a968dc-c32f-4bd6-bbf4-262c9fad0a6b/Duomo+Di+Milano+II.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Duomo Di Milano II - Make it stand out “‘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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/dreaming-of-a-tire-swing-journey-river-ruin-adrift monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c4f27d71-73f1-4880-a7a5-6166146e6e57/Dreaming+of+a+Tire+Swing.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Dreaming of a Tire Swing; Journey; River Ruin; Adrift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d001197a-cf26-41ed-8092-b24fe52fca1f/Journey.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Dreaming of a Tire Swing; Journey; River Ruin; Adrift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c05804b5-4da1-425e-b9c2-47b3722b3beb/River+Ruin.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Dreaming of a Tire Swing; Journey; River Ruin; Adrift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f3dde89e-3bf2-4de4-b22c-0b700113a58a/Adrift.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Dreaming of a Tire Swing; Journey; River Ruin; Adrift - Make it stand out “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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/subterranean-metropolis-ancient-echoes monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/924d3396-f193-4cf2-852f-bede14b6164e/Subterranean+Metropolis.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Subterranean Metropolis; Ancient Echoes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/da535d56-3772-4e82-809c-a47eeef35325/Ancient+Echoes.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Subterranean Metropolis; Ancient Echoes - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/empty-thanks monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d0d1c76c-c683-4353-aa58-1cc43b12c03d/Empty+Thanks.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Empty Thanks - Make it stand out “Drifting through art school phases, mediums and artistic focuses, I found myself always drawn back to the watercolor medium and its application in realism.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/tv-time-metropolis-bpEX5 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8a398f06-cd55-4054-8b72-217526ad0f8e/TV+Time.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - TV Time; Metropolis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7957035b-21e6-4e2c-abf9-4f38c93eb3ed/Metropolis.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - TV Time; Metropolis - Make it stand out “My artwork is intended to foster a Macro, Micro, Macro response—to capture attention with an intriguing glimpse, drawing the observer into details that ultimately result in a natural impulse to step back and determine a broader meaning.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/reason monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f4b7a1a7-eadd-4ac7-9ddc-5aa9522a554a/Reason.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Reason - Make it stand out “Banks Compton, a muralist from rural Alabama, has painted nearly 100 murals across 8 states.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/reach-for-the-stars-the-tree monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f1b29a66-fb37-4842-b2b7-fcb3a32eb5b7/Reach+for+the+Stars.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Reach for the Stars; The Tree - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e05d9e8f-9f4c-4136-a8b8-bc97445252a3/The+Tree.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Reach for the Stars; The Tree - Make it stand out “I connect with the soul of a place, then use photography to translate my connection in a way that everyone can perceive. 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.

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 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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/determination monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/42fa843f-7318-43fa-a13f-e4aa40d3b2d9/Determination.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Determination - Make it stand out “The great photographer of the mid-twentieth century, Saul Leiter, when asked if he could describe his philosophical view of the photographer's process, answered, "I don’t have a philosophy. 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.

My fascination with nature stems from a desire to connect viewers with the simplicity and complexity of life.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/sometimes-we-wait-alone monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c3894bca-864b-49af-91c6-ce56c51301ac/sometimes+alone.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sometimes We Wait Alone - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a41e1978-a4d7-4443-98c0-4bad94ff7a68/sometimes+alone+2.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sometimes We Wait Alone - Make it stand out “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 & 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/arrive monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f7bff0c1-372a-441d-8204-49454eb55375/Arrive.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Arrive - Make it stand out 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." https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/tattooed monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ecb8b4ce-ee2d-4d6f-9ab0-4d0793fd4649/Tattooed.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Tattooed - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/in-pursuit-of-invariable-a-circular-storyteller monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b3e96acd-4892-4683-b9fd-67f5a7c6a1df/In+Pursuit+of+Invariable.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - In Pursuit of Invariable; A Circular Storyteller - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4e71071e-4705-436a-8b54-6375254c73db/Circular+Storyteller.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - In Pursuit of Invariable; A Circular Storyteller - Make it stand out “As an artist, my deep curiosity and relentless quest for inspiration drive every aspect of my work. I draw from the rich tapestry of nature and the complexities of human experience, empowering me to push the boundaries of my craft. I create pieces that are both timeless and contemporary, inviting viewers to see the world with fresh eyes and rediscover the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. By blending tradition with modernity, I boldly challenge preconceptions and encourage exploration of our shared humanity.

Her unique artistic voice and evocative exploration of our shared human workings are exhibited nationally and internationally. Julie strives to uplift while creating beauty in her work without it having to be pretty. Julie is the founder of the global art project, Lift the Sky which offers a hopeful outlook for the future and invites artists to respond to the question, “what’s your message to the world?” After an early 2023 inaugural exhibition, Lift the Sky was seen at ArtPrize Grand Rapids in Fall 2023 where it was voted Top 25 Finalist (out of 750 artists). Julie served as Director of Front Porch Gallery, a nonprofit gallery in Carlsbad, CA where she worked from 2006 until 2023.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/future-ruins-ad-column-5 monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/12c9cdb9-575c-48b2-b692-d87b89f44ed7/Future+Ruins+AD+Column+5.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Future Ruins AD Column 5 - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/in-the-realm-of-the-infinite monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/26b6fcb0-f83a-4f06-90a9-7401fdfa0b58/In+the+Realm+of+the+Infinite.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - In the Realm of the Infinite - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/through-the-light monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8a5027f6-b9a2-484f-9579-3f63aea21e99/Through+the+Light.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Through the Light - Make it stand out “I’m a student artist based in Florida, USA. I recently graduated from high school and will begin studying Fine Arts at the University of California, Irvine this fall.

She seamlessly incorporates various styles of painting and textile work, drawing from both her formal education and cultural influences. As a professional in needle arts, she maintains precision and detail in the art of Heraldry while advocating for the value of craftsmanship and hand embroidery as a form of wellness. Johnson’s work serves as a testament to the power of creativity to transcend boundaries and inspire change.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/its-bananas monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0b0225c0-f26f-4cce-bfb1-755ae024e8f3/its+bananas.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - It’s Bananas! - Make it stand out “My work "It's Bananas!", represent the complexity of the current world.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/tamer monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cf9329a8-fd03-4a4d-9d6c-c54ea0280d67/Tamer.png SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Tamer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/purrrcaso monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5cdd1784-b24f-4f18-903e-3f11da46205e/Purrrcaso.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Purrrcaso - Make it stand out “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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/lucifer monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6f98dbda-c1e3-4141-94b8-70fa08b59df4/Lucifer.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Lucifer - Make it stand out “I am a surrealist painter based in Ukraine.

Always keeping a look out for the work to speak and drive the brush for a while. I sometimes work on a 3D object, taking a simple form and build some visual curiosity. Many paintings call upon memories of time spent observing frescos in Italy and the peeling grime of painted plaster.

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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/i-will-fight-no-more-forever monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/205de28a-a172-4c1c-98c8-50805b608bfe/Fight.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - I Will Fight No More Forever - Make it stand out “I am engaged in a life artistic expression narrative inviting viewers into a place where my art identity resides.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/bpn940j896fmx9fyavzf4ym7ebuytk monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/30472e80-a891-43f8-bd22-cde0a60a2195/Stuck.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Stuck - Make it stand out “I go by Aunt Sho the Artist and my style is surreal illustration.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/revival monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/596900b2-27c5-4523-b41b-7e611cbfdcb9/Revival.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Revival - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/rotten-eggs monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/04747c92-6be9-4b7b-9265-3e45ad39c70b/Rotten+Eggs.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Rotten Eggs - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/young-woman-brown monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9f94a2c2-09c7-4d9d-bf65-f4f2787fa4d5/Young+Woman.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Young Woman; Brown - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e2f3b020-d3e4-4751-b87f-3465e568fcb8/Brown.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Young Woman; Brown - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-good-mom-as-long-as-the-feedings-are-veiled monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/49aa0060-109f-4b25-831c-2faef386fee8/The+Good+Mom+As+Long+As+the+Feedings+Are+Veiled.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Good Mom As Long As the Feedings Are Veiled - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/kimmel monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c04bac7a-512c-4ac9-a8b9-908b54abe168/Kimmel.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Kimmel - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/moon-510-before-contact monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bbb8e0dc-7bcf-4424-a830-c782bdaf91a9/Moon+510+Before+Contact.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Moon 510 Before Contact - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/maasianbspgirl monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b50d58ea-d795-474c-ba39-e8ad84113019/Maasia+Girl.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Maasia Girl - Make it stand out “I retired in 2019 and my plan was to take some college classes & travel the world. I signed up for writing & 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 & 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 & on my SD cards.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/blink monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5685e1aa-1e85-4f93-9e03-70b8285f0b75/blink.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Blink - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/starchase monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/75343f91-7627-465c-a51e-971f453350b1/STARCHASE.png SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Starchase - Make it stand out “I am a nonbinary scenic artist living in Austin, Texas.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/sophie monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0f5a125a-e1c4-43f3-a1ad-8494686e6c3c/Sophie.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Sophie - Make it stand out “My work is inspired by seeing the beauty in what everyone else sees as ordinary.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/loves-trap monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/945c7b61-4ee3-4f42-ac89-4e5bba82a555/Love%27s+Trap.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Love’s Trap - Make it stand out “I’m a Puerto Rican based in Los Angeles, CA.

I learned that art is a vehicle to convey profound messages.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/between-consciouses monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3fe2dfd3-dcd1-4150-b416-715310f1d90b/Between+Consciouses.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Between Consciouses - Make it stand out “In my recent work, I use the tactile nature of charcoal to understand the complexities between life and death, the conscious and subconscious, and the microcosm and macrocosm; refining my understanding of self and us. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/changes monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4c34fe92-77e6-4a7a-b8d5-550cf8468d0c/Changes.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Changes - Make it stand out “My work is about sky. The sky is where we live – we just live there at ground level. It is the most important part of our world, without it there would be no life. 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” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/reminisce monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bbb9d837-6d97-4083-a2bd-ffbddc8c3465/Reminisce.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Reminisce - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/la-vague monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bf5caac6-498e-483c-ac21-d34d47134d87/La+Vague.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - La Vague - Make it stand out “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?'“ https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/gandergan monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b85c4e45-69d3-4fef-bfe3-3e83760c92b3/Gandergan.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Gandergan - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/angel-and-demon-mirror-dimension monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f6ab6804-6425-4781-b218-366721c3aa58/Angel+and+Demon.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Angel and Demon; Mirror Dimension - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/44cf7009-f5e9-41c5-a4a6-b019394c06c5/Mirror+Dimensino.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Angel and Demon; Mirror Dimension - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/the-challenge-snowy-egret-meditation-dna monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/416667ae-bde7-4135-abba-e16527f10a02/The+Challenge.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Challenge; Snowy Egret; Meditation-DNA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ceef4002-86c5-4c09-ac4a-f59f9d4380ef/Meditation-DNA.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Challenge; Snowy Egret; Meditation-DNA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/41f2ea1b-0bc8-42c7-b736-1c81850756c7/Snowy+Egret.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - The Challenge; Snowy Egret; Meditation-DNA - Make it stand out “I am a nature photographer.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/focus-of-her-world-and-ours monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3eb3eb32-44e2-4536-86d9-fce114a1e020/Focus+of+Her+World+and+Ours.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Focus of Her World and Ours - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/long-walk monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/959c8460-ade2-445a-828c-f4f4826cd055/Long+Walk.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Long Walk - Make it stand out “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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/peter-and-the-wave monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a264cb91-8d7f-45b4-b9e9-92a4894457f7/Peter+and+the+Wave.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Peter and the Wave - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/trouble-makers monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d0f3c15f-ac99-4f02-8019-e98e8a5f8aca/troublemakers.jpg SUMMER & FALL 2025 - Trouble Makers - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/blog-post-title-two-5zndb monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/blog-post-title-three-l5tw2 monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2025/blog-post-title-four-nslez monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026 daily 0.75 2026-08-31 https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/chaos-scrutiny-Sgxxk monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dcc1b842-8f54-4320-9039-3c1ffdfd7161/Chaos.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Chaos; Scrutiny - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/698d9041-3ec4-4eaf-9df6-4152ca78720f/Scrutiny.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Chaos; Scrutiny - Make it stand out “My artistic expression is intricately woven into human experiences, reflective practice, and experiential learning through the creation of art. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/unmasking monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ad54530e-e0da-4274-9b2a-ead069f92804/Michael-Potts---Unmasking.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Unmasking - Make it stand out “Much of my CREATIVE work has centered around water, introspection, and emerging from darkness into light.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/alchemy-of-a-shared-kitchen monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/077b885f-157d-4bfe-bbd6-6e7070766c8f/AlchemyofaSharedKitchen.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Alchemy of a Shared Kitchen - Make it stand out "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 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." https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/self-portrait-through-multiple-windows monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d20d06ec-b4f2-4421-bd39-d51b08cc5200/Self+Portrait+through+Multiple+Windows.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Self Portrait through Multiple Windows - Make it stand out “I believe photography, like all artistic endeavors, should tell a story. I want to present more than what I see with my camera. I want to present the story. Sometimes, the story is apparent, sometimes, the story is complicated; sometimes, the story is open to many interpretations.

Her current work in scanographic photography explores intimacy and quiet reflection in a chaotic world. Garden Electric is a collection of experimental scanography.

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/arms-up-multiple monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b050da37-6f8a-466d-82c7-b7bcc012e170/Arms+Up+Multiple.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Arms Up Multiple - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/excelsior-just-isnt-so-mighty monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5f8e7e75-d735-4c7a-8663-5efd594ec75c/IMG_3821.jpeg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Excelsior Just Isn’t So Mighty! - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/vincent-t4h3c monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8ff1e5c1-ab2c-4d1d-a099-03e92417bdb4/Smokin.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Smokin’ - Make it stand out “I love photography, and in particular I love the effect it can have on the people who view photographic art. I have photographed in such diverse places as Italy, Iceland, the Caribbean and Cuba, and in many of our nation's national parks and cities. My subject matter includes landscapes, architecture, natural settings and humanity interacting with all of those entities.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/what-once-was monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8cf58c86-ac2b-4134-af9e-0c58c64f83be/What+Once+Was.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - What Once Was - Make it stand out “Cardboard is one of the easiest materials to get a hold of. You can get it at most stores, in the dumpster, almost anywhere. 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.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/always-sleep-in-paw-paws-lap monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8089f241-8d1c-44cd-84e3-b26365ea41e8/Always+Sleep+in+Paw+Paw%27s+Lap.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Always Sleep in Paw Paw's Lap - Make it stand out 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.

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.

From the moment of capture in the field to the intricate experimentation in my studio, each creation is an intensely personal and joyful journey.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/ana-angela monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b105482b-f5ad-4fd0-8b8a-c623882d1e88/Ana.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Ana; Angela - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9d034e2f-cc27-499c-ab47-5d80ee66e09c/Angela.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Ana; Angela - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/remember-the-future monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d0aa8608-6bfd-4098-b95b-7767b1513a09/Rem.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Remember the Future - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/you-can-believe-in-anything monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/291dea62-d0c3-4d5c-98f3-3514c7ef0017/believe.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - You Can Believe in Anything - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/vincent-t4h3c-6yl3p-hxn92-bhed6-mkkye monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/901a4ac2-50a0-4380-85db-97b6ee240467/Solitary+Man.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Solitary Man - Make it stand out “I love photography, and in particular I love the effect it can have on the people who view photographic art.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/model-in-shadow-mr65m monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9fe86883-e892-482f-af6c-156ffb4288da/IMG_7826.jpeg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Sliver of Light - Make it stand out “We all project our ideas onto one another, and often we project who we want to be to the world.

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/somewhere-in-heaven monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/db41a197-60b3-4765-a0f7-a7c2d205c29a/Somewhere.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Somewhere in Heaven - Make it stand out 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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/more-than-the-cow monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4859fca3-e3b1-48f3-9c8e-8e0b7f2be683/The+Cost+%28Monkey%29.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - More Than the Cow - Make it stand out “‘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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/spine-candle monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c0e4bddb-1827-4c8e-a2c5-87db66cbb309/Spine+Candle.JPG WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Spine Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/fragmentos monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4fadd46c-cea2-4836-b4d0-a4694662f6c0/Fragmentos.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Fragmentos - Make it stand out Indiara Nicoletti holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from UDESC.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/model-under-blue-sky monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a137fdc7-f92e-4697-9431-1f6f87152ab6/0A01058F%403BE39143.A3C2816600000000.JPG WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Model under Blue Sky - Make it stand out Xiong Yanteng is a young artist, a member of the Professional Alliance of American Artists and a member of the Portrait Society of America.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/amethyst-amp-asphalt monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f592b8a3-dc4b-4609-b026-f79d1fbcc0ba/Amethyst+%26+Asphalt.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Amethyst & Asphalt - Make it stand out Michelle Oconis is a self-taught artist with a severe form of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/q-train monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/293c0fb3-c91f-42f2-a201-ba250c0ba0f0/q+train.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Q Train - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/lemonade monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0d02d0a1-648a-4191-8e77-708e0deb25bc/Lemonade.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Lemonade - Make it stand out “I am an established artist with many commissions, solo shows, and honors. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/at-mutso monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7b0e1068-2aef-4d07-9624-9f634351c09f/At-Mutso.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - At Mutso - Make it stand out Matthew Anderschat is Azerbaijani-American photographer from Silver Spring, Maryland.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/wake monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/976b947e-1d7a-4aad-bf99-3e7b9b436941/IMG_0040.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Wake - Make it stand out “This is a small, quickly painted acrylic. Given the theme of light and dark, I underpainted with bands of colour representing the visible light spectrum. "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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/mansamwad monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6b119e4b-a0a7-4a3e-b5d7-de141389cb08/Mansamwad.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Mansamwad - Make it stand out “Working intuitively, I channel emotion and inner stillness into imagery and words. My work explores love, loss, healing, and the hidden stories we all carry, societal reflections . Though often drawn to Cubism, I don’t confine myself to any one style—creativity, for me, is a fluid, spiritual force that cannot be tamed without loosing its essence.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/serenity monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f29d262d-b19b-49c2-8ab5-649742bae8ee/Serenity.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Serenity - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/in-situ-air monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/175d6b19-b4a4-42f5-ac21-6d65bf73b9cf/Situ.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - In Situ: Air - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/abou-ali monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/86b25cb1-4f00-4699-8d4f-9d4a973e88ec/Abou-Ali.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Abou Ali - Make it stand out Moushegh Karavartanian (Karamoush) is a Lebanese Armenian visual artist, born in Beirut in 1992.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/the-ghost-in-the-machine monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/18afaf08-2d00-4171-9758-4646c7ab5028/The+Ghost+in+the+Machine.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - The Ghost in the Machine - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/after-the-day monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/01325c68-46eb-4727-b42c-dcb6ce4f4359/After+the+Day.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - After the Day - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/the-slope-carries-its-memory monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ee162933-649f-4765-a568-b2495960db67/The+Slope+Carries+Its+Memory.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - The Slope Carries Its Memory - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/ridges-28 monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/28e67976-0416-4c9a-a27f-2f47e3fb1cc4/Ridges+28.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Ridges 28 - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/dinner-conversation-detail monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2b1bf709-c85b-421f-a06c-8f9667cfdf3d/Dinner+Conversation+%28Detail%29.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Dinner Conversation (Detail) - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/insistent-whispers monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/932e0905-8238-43f6-88ed-d933a3ca6955/IMG_7086.jpeg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Insistent Whispers - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/nr-17 monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/70402791-d6f5-4d80-9904-500f4f1ac2fe/Nr.+17+2025_Mixedmediaoncanvas_50x100cm.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Nr 17 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/jaguar-hunting monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3948cc72-49b5-47fa-aa96-1cc5dd55a0ff/jaguar+hunting+Pamela+Conley+300dpi.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Jaguar Hunting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/old-friends monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/27c9996b-9881-4ec3-bc2e-bee5bb3ed12a/Old-Friends3.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Old Friends - Make it stand out “Old Friends, mixed media (oil paint and digital), A tale of a coin with two sides; one of bitterness, contempt, and betrayal.

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.

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 & one 3.5" triangle shape. A lump of clay was deposited on each of the three shapes & then, I designed the clay to fit each pattern. These clay pieces were coated with oil, & plaster was poured over the clay. When the plaster was set, the molds were ready & 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 & 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 & using various glazes & color combinations, additional shapes & pieces of artwork were created.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/balance monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f8d3962b-086e-4154-bf66-4e6452d38d9b/Balance.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Balance - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/the-reach monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4de1c456-cb2e-4a8e-8fea-32f18d068594/Reach.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - The Reach - Make it stand out "My creative work is rooted in the sacred tension between vulnerability and transformation...I draw from personal experience, faith, and the emotional landscapes of those I serve.

Watercolor and ink are her mediums of choice. Drawing from her multinational background and personal history as an immigrant, her work focuses on the myths surrounding women, migration and home. She is interested to understand how women share their stories with each other to understand themselves and their complex worlds.

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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/routine-ascent monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/829ed8da-7a2d-4459-8e41-2b9872d6c576/Routine+Ascent.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Routine Ascent - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/the-offering monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/230ac1e0-b167-44f2-83f8-c44b78985fed/The+Offering.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - The Offering - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/in-sana-tea-dove-dream-blend monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/50135e43-bab8-48c6-b9e5-76d68fde14fe/In-Sana+Tea+Dove+Dream+Blend.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - In-Sana Tea: Dove Dream Blend - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/no-cops-in-earl-duncan-park monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e494baa6-3788-4478-9cc6-865b41ce2e8e/No+Cops+in+Earl+Duncan+Park.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - No Cops in Earl Duncan Park - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/nordic-rust-ii monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a92f425c-4b50-48e9-b997-f749d83c6aff/Nordic+Rust+2.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Nordic Rust II - Make it stand out “I photograph everyday objects in a way that highlights shape, color, and light, creating abstract images that invite people to look a little closer.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/by-the-mine-pool monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ca2f9fa6-9fec-42c3-bac1-b2d7ea181c1a/ByTheMinePool.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - By The Mine Pool - Make it stand out “From high above the ground to far below, I've documented America's industrial history through photography. 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/filtered-light monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8516ee58-1588-42d0-9caa-68029d4fb72e/Filtered+Light.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Filtered Light - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/harlem-freedom-equality monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d267f93c-7943-48a1-9911-d207e40fa056/Harlem.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Harlem (Freedom!

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/now-what monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3cee2eca-84b1-4fe4-879f-53bf96cbde33/Harris_Now+What_+v1_calcite%2C+steatite+green+and+rose+alabaster_8_x24_x9__2022.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Now What? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/cambodian-girl monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/80dc876f-afa0-47ff-8f89-5d1476c0487c/Cambodian+Girl.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Cambodian Girl - Make it stand out “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.

Or Just the Eye? - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/polaroid monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e7e80769-4ad5-4843-9309-2b72feae78e0/Polaroid.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Polaroid - Make it stand out “I think of the objects in my still life paintings as actors on a stage.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/solitude-048 monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/db971395-489f-4ccb-bfa8-2a4dbf6e7023/01_Solitude_048.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Solitude 048 - Make it stand out 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.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/traps monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/00ad0b9e-a5b9-4d49-afca-62f802b65163/ButlerStephanie_Traps.JPG WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Traps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/seeing-double monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/35965880-4b65-46a3-9394-8efea7178b4a/Seeing+Double.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Seeing Double - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/headspace monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3a4829c9-4d5e-4b65-b1a3-533319bf2faa/Headspace.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Headspace - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/james-baldwins-muse monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9f9fdb18-e68b-468c-a48d-f59a3396c68d/IMG_6953.jpeg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - James Baldwin's Muse - Make it stand out Rachel Clites is a Jim Henson Foundation and University of Maryland trained theatrical and visual artist located out of Chesapeake Beach, Md.

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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/nautranbspmorte monthly 0.5 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e24814f9-4b59-403d-820c-cf536c9ca491/Nautra+Morte.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Nautra Morte - Make it stand out “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 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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/two-canes monthly 0.5 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/37d202ed-f14b-4a0a-a96f-d15bbd574349/Two+Canes.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Two Canes - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/titus-canyon-abstract-1 monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a8e324d6-d506-45de-86c1-f54d7339d3fb/Titus+Canyon+Abstract+1.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Titus Canyon Abstract 1 - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/mindscapes monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b3a87495-6285-4f76-9aa7-dc2fef189ead/Mindscape.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Mindscapes - Make it stand out “Merges the form of a cube with a brain, creating a juxtaposition of logic and creativity.

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.

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.

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. https://www.pjasmag.org/winter-2026/where-did-my-waterlilies-go monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fbc2c9d3-d097-4c4a-8fd0-6765c030a506/Where+Did+My+Waterlilies+Go.jpg WINTER & SPRING 2026 - Where Did My Waterlilies Go? - Make it stand out “Graduated Master Architect, Lourdes Rivera, -LULU born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, USA, a bright and colorful island in the Caribbean, which has mostly inspired and define the particular color expression of the Artist's palette and technique.

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.

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.

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 & Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

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.

Her practice consistently revolves around the materialisation of the immaterial, working through sculpture, installation, performance, and sound to construct tension-filled immersive environments. In her practice, she has developed a compelling artistic language that constructs environments functioning as metaphors for ecological tipping points, palliative breakdown, and entropy. Her work draws on a wide range of knowledge systems, including nature, philosophy, craft traditions, science, folklore, mythology, religion, and politics. Through the use of unstable, porous, and “unruly” materials such as crystallisation, soil, moss, flowing water, rusted metal, and weaving, she deliberately disrupts the constructed binaries of modernity between nature and culture, order and chaos, civilisation and wilderness. Her practice reveals what lies beneath polished surfaces: residues of the past, unspoken desires, collective anxieties, and latent social fragilities. Her recent research explores how the five senses are subtly and unconsciously regulated and manipulated within social structures to shape human behaviour, and how these invisible forces construct bodily experience and collective consciousness. Freja understands her works as vessels for storing and transforming energy. Her installations often exist in temporary or unfinished states, within which personal memory generates a shared language of imagination, unfurls as a living ritual, and lifts viewers/participants past the surface layers of their physical and spiritual being. By continuously blurring the boundaries between the organic and the industrial, the visible and the invisible, she creates spatial conditions that are both poetic and unsettling, inviting audiences to develop a deeper sensory and emotional engagement with the world around them. Freja Jiahui Ye studied BA Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. After graduating, she was awarded a position as a Selected Artist Participant in Germany and continued her study and practice at Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, where she focused on sculpture and stage-oriented spatial practices. She has had several group exhibitions across the UK, Europe, and Asia. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/cloudy-weather monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/519e4af0-f9ed-4f57-8023-e78e5be78b65/CloudyWeather.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Cloudy Weather - Make it stand out Roey Xinqi Qiu is an independent photographer based between London and Shanghai. Her work explores feminism, queer perspectives, and East Asian cultural contexts through staged and conceptual imagery. Focusing on intimacy, self-representation, and everyday experience, she examines how personal identity is shaped in relation to social expectations. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Glasgow, Milan, Vienna, and Shanghai. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/k3vpddc9q445becybhu6949gxkjs76 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2829be9f-4947-4a58-b5a9-e035cc45e89f/Mono-Vision.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mono-Vision, Double-Vision - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7c802b9a-328d-49a3-b6a7-8c47bed5bab3/Double-Vision.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mono-Vision, Double-Vision - Make it stand out “My creative process manifests from an interest in cultural anthropology and our place in Earth's evolution. We are in a time of extreme change from the climate crisis to acknowledgement of racial disparity, political movements and global responsibility; all issues that will determine life going forward. My current work speaks to naming issues but also calls for solutions. Though we have undoubtedly had the deepest influence on our planet, we are part of the Earth’s process, not separate from it. The questions I seek answers to are what do we want our role to be and how do we want to affect the story? Currently, I create my images by drawing with paper. I use old, pre-1970 National Geographic and Life magazines to help me build the layers and formulate my message.

From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all." As a photographer, I capture light in the form of digital pixels. My task as an artist is more challenging: to capture a glimpse of the soul shining through. I focus on figure photography, with themes of identity and reconnection with that part of us that is natural and wild. My work strives to represent diversity in all forms, and to celebrate the beauty of human sensual experience. As a cis-male photographer, one of the things I am constantly reminded of is my childhood indoctrination, along with most of Western society, into the "male gaze." As I have grown as an artist, I've tried hard to avoid this reductive approach to photographing the female body, and instead, to capture the whole person, with their unique personality and sense of personal agency. Sometimes I get it right; sometimes I fall short; and sometimes I catch a rare moment that is right on the edge, and could go either way.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/us-constitution-in-a-knot monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e8448541-bafa-44e6-bc8e-dd4412ac6a19/two-.jpg SUMMER 2026 - U.S. Constitution in a Knot - Make it stand out “U.S. Constitution in a Knot” is a symbolic piece featuring the U.S. Constitution as a document, with all seven articles, tied into a knot, representing the complexities and challenges within the nation’s principles. The intertwined form reflects current turmoil, while intricately detailed hands symbolize individual responsibility and the struggle to uphold these values. The sculpture rests on a pile of rough granite chips, highlighting themes of fragmentation and disarray, contrasting with the smooth marble. Overall, it serves as a poignant commentary on the chaotic state of the nation, embodying both despair and determination in the effort to maintain important values amidst societal conflict. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/she-sat-with-yesterday monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/be03fa98-34b3-408c-afac-99b311d34a6e/RF.-She-Sat-With-Yesterday.jpg SUMMER 2026 - She Sat With Yesterday - Make it stand out “Growing up in Iran and living in New York, I have navigated complex social, gender, and cultural expectations shaped by displacement and identity. Experiencing patriarchy firsthand, I began exploring the objectification of women in my paintings while also delving into their inner worlds, sometimes through humor, other times through deep sorrow. I create imagined, satirical portraits that capture solitary moments, revealing, tenderness, defiance, strength and layered emotional relationships. My work is both psychological and playful, blurring the line between reality and imagination. Through these portraits, I seek to reclaim female narratives, challenge societal norms, and explore the resilience and complexity of the feminine experience. Humor often appears in my work as a coping mechanism, an attempt to soften heavy subjects, much like a bright bandage covering unseen scars. Some paintings take on grotesque qualities, reflecting my struggle to reconcile acts of inhumanity and violence. Beneath all these layers runs an undercurrent of loss: loss of life, loss of time, and loss of youth.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/binding monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/17aada87-69e1-4b84-8e5b-23fc9d942c86/Binding-Vladislava-Bordeniuc.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Binding - Make it stand out “My work explores the body as a surface shaped by tension, control, and vulnerability. I am interested in how an image can be physically altered so that it no longer functions only as representation, but begins to carry the sensation it refers to. In Binding, a photographic image is interrupted through the use of thread, which is stretched, knotted, and fixed across the surface. This intervention introduces lines of pressure that pull the image inward, creating a sense of constraint and instability. The body is partially obscured and held in place, as if caught between exposure and concealment. The thread operates both as material and as action. It does not decorate the image, but actively disrupts it, shifting the work from a flat surface into a tactile object. The intervention transforms the image into something that suggests touch, resistance, and restriction. What is depicted is no longer distant or purely visual, but begins to exist as a physical condition. I am interested in how the act of binding can function as a form of inscription. The body becomes a site where pressure accumulates, where external forces leave traces that cannot be easily undone. At the same time, the thread holds the image together, creating a fragile balance between control and collapse. Through this work, material becomes a form of language. Rather than illustrating an idea, the tension is embedded directly into the surface, where the image exists between fragility and force, containment and release.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/stone-gravity monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/36e2c46a-1887-40a0-b355-85e5fef0d3ce/Stone-gravity.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Stone Gravity - Make it stand out “My work grows out of sensitivity to inner states, nature, and quiet emotional movement. I often work through intuition — allowing forms, textures, and flowing materials to appear gradually, as if they reveal themselves. Abstraction helps me express what cannot be spoken directly: tension, stillness, vulnerability, strength, and transformation. In my practice, I explore how solid and fluid elements coexist — stone, metal, water, light, and cosmic space. I am interested in the balance between gravity and movement, between heaviness and openness, between what is stable and what is changing. Many of my works reflect an inner dialogue between the physical world and the emotional one. Painting for me is a way to listen inward and translate those sensations into visual language. Each piece becomes a moment of inner resonance — a trace of experience, movement, or memory that continues to live in quiet form.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/morning-stretch monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/41172d8f-f79d-4dc6-b5a7-89eb41ed9582/Morning-Stretch.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Morning Stretch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/89fdc5f5-0613-421b-ab91-ad5fd500994c/Moving-to-the-rhythm.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Morning Stretch - Make it stand out “The female figure has always been at the core of my artistic practice. I never cease to be inspired by the infinitely challenging form. I have recently incorporated the figure over collage, enjoying the juxtaposition between abstract and figurative narratives.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/palace monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cbb47082-e2fe-4c8b-b5a7-81ccb9980096/Palace-2023-Pink-8X10.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Palace - Make it stand out Palace examines the construction and reimagination of gender narratives through visual representation. The project draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese saying “女人不可登大雅之堂”—which translates to “A woman does not belong in the halls of power.” This phrase reflects a long-standing history of women being confined to passive roles, both in society and in artistic traditions. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/aging monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/badf75d1-1667-4e9a-bda4-bffb760426dc/1+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Aging - Make it stand out Janvi Bhardwaj is a photographer from Punjab, currently based in Bangalore, where she is pursuing her Chartered Accountancy articleship. Her practice began as a means of escape and self-expression, rooted in an early artistic sensibility and shaped by the rural landscapes surrounding her home. She first turned to photography through her phone camera, documenting the fields and everyday scenes of Punjab. Working across photography, diptychs, and double exposures, Bhardwaj explores the intersections of memory, perception, and emotional experience. Her images often emerge from ordinary encounters, revealing the psychological and affective dimensions embedded within the everyday. Photography serves as a process of self-inquiry through which she examines themes of home, belonging, intimacy, and the relationship between human presence and the inanimate world. Her practice includes dreamlike double exposures, observational studies of domestic and familiar spaces, and diptychs that draw unexpected connections between people, objects, and environments. Through these works, she investigates how personal histories and emotional states become inscribed within landscapes and daily life. Recently, Bhardwaj has expanded her focus to the urban environments of Bangalore and Chennai, engaging with the cities through photowalks. Moving between rural memory and contemporary urban experience, her work reflects an enduring interest in observation as a means of understanding both place and self. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/3055 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5e731f37-4cd0-4c78-8127-9af26bdf905f/3055.jpg SUMMER 2026 - #3055 - Make it stand out Dissipation, flow, forces in flux. In #3055, fluidity is a metaphor for transformation, adaptability, and the seamless flow between states. The different materials dissolve, colors bleed, and forms shift constantly — nothing is ever fixed, but always in motion. By capturing moments of transition, this work reflects on the idea that perception and experience are always changing, questioning the stability of boundaries and the permanence of form. Through vivid red color palettes but also shades of black and white, #3055 bridges stillness and motion, drawing attention to the adaptability and tensions within movement. As these irregular shapes dance across the surface, fluidity is not merely a property of the medium but also a lens through which time and spatial perception are reimagined. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/things-she-could-not-say monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fca39a3a-271a-4987-8abd-2c3e7024b474/Jordan_F_ThingsSheCouldNotSay_MixedMedia_Detail.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Things She Could Not Say - Make it stand out “My work explores the personal and intrapersonal relationships we have with our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Using techniques ranging from traditional carpentry to three dimensional fabrications, the works are created to show a visual representation of individual trauma’s experiences as well as the universality of loss. My works are meant to elicit an empathic response from the audience. There are common traumas and pains that bring humans together as a form of bonding.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/demila-venuto-the-waves monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/96a2ebfd-458f-415e-a5eb-79527e279779/Altman.Demila-Venuto.jpg SUMMER 2026 - DeMila Venuto, The Waves - Make it stand out “Art is a constant evolution. The need to explore, and change is a part of each of us no matter how we may try to stay ourselves. During current days, I am exploring balances. Those within waves, with the top and bottoms of the frequencies or sounds, extremes and even simple ocean waves. Distances between highs and lows, worldly successes and failures, the distances between joy and sadness. There seems a balance with everything that is in a constant state of flux. We can energetically try ride those high points, but when we are inevitably back visiting the lows, it is the memory of the highs which helps shine us forward. To have grace during both the highs and lows is my quest to find the balance. Recent images speak to this struggle of balance, between light and dark, self and other, movement and timelessness. My hope is to unsettle enough, that the viewer may find balance both within the image, and possibly, momentarily, within themselves.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/a-tale-about-a-lumberjack-from-love-to-hate monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/47dba788-be80-4db9-853b-c3b503857fca/IMG_9088.jpg SUMMER 2026 - A Tale About a Lumberjack / From Love to Hate - Make it stand out This project explores the artist’s relationships with men at different stages of her life. Drawing from her personal experience of heterosexual relationships, Olga reflects on love, sex, friendship, jealousy, rivalry, disappointment, and other conflicting emotions that arise in her interactions with men. Using ironic metaphors and everyday objects, she creates still-life compositions that tell intimate stories – whether they last just moments or span years. The artist is intrigued by both fleeting emotions and deep, thoughtful feelings. She finds inspiration in everything from failed speed dates to long-term romantic connections. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/secrets-of-the-tides monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0395864d-348a-40ff-a6f4-34ee2bdc1a80/Secrets-of-the-Tides.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Secrets of the Tides - Make it stand out Linda H. Post creates paintings of women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. These works occupy a mythic place in our consciousness where timeless dramas are played out, questioning what we know about the world. Her imagery is powerful and richly pigmented. She incorporates landscapes, seascapes, people, architecture, and curious details that have never existed together in reality to construct a singularly compelling narrative. In Post’s larger pieces, her viewpoint is just outside the picture plane – one more step and you feel as if you can walk right into the painting. Post’s paintings, while following her own distinctive vision, fall well within the realm of contemporary realism. She has always drawn and painted the figure. Her work is organized around the geometry of patterns and the painterly flow of skies. She creates a realm where women are on the cusp of change and in sync with the natural world, a place where the spirit resides. "Secrets of the Tides" is part of a continuing series of paintings featuring striped, shape-shifting tents. These dramatically lit adolescent girls gaze downward as they walk away from the tents in companionable juxtaposition. Enigmatic, evocative, and mysterious, all of Post’s work asks the question: “What is real?” Post's work has been exhibited in museums throughout the country, most recently including the Danforth Art Museum, MA; Mead Art Museum, Amherst College; Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, MA; Loveland Museum in Loveland, CO; New Britain Museum of American Art, CT; Cape Cod Museum of Art, MA; Brookgreen Gardens Museum, SC; Customs House Museum, TN. Collections include the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College; Jacob’s Pillow Dance Theater; Boston Public Library; Reader’s Digest; and Equitable Life. One of her two solo shows at Mary Ryan Gallery in New York City was reviewed in the New York Times. She has had seven one-person shows at R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, MA and solo exhibitions at the University of Massachusetts, Wisteriahurst Museum, and Mary Washington College. Her paintings are digitally represented on the moon in The Lunar Codex: A Time Capsule of Human Creativity and included in the hardcover art book about this project. Her work has been featured on covers and in extensive photo essays in The Gettysburg Review, Poets & Artists, American Art Collector, Raw Art Review, American Artist, Cornell University's Epoch literary magazine, and The Artful Mind. Reviews and images of her work appeared in the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Fine Art Connoisseur, Artscope Magazine, and many other national and regional publications and exhibition catalogues. A 24-page color catalogue was published in conjunction with her solo show, “Balancing Acts”, at R. Michelson Galleries. She is a Juried Signature Member of the National Association of Women Artists and a Signature Member with Distinction of American Women Artists. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-alter monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5292e995-78f8-4652-95ea-197e901f643f/The-Alter+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Alter - Make it stand out “My photographic practice is rooted in my pursuit to find beauty in the everyday as I strive to find, observe, and honor what most people do not see.

I see beauty in simplicity and composition, eliminating extraneous details while preserving recognizability - Minimalism takes the great American road trip.I enjoy adding a touch of whimsy to my photographs and the attempt to capture a “decisive moment” of an object in motion or in a momentary organization of pattern that completes a composition and brings an image to life.I am inspired by the peripatetic works of Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, and Stephen Shore - fresh eyes on old places. I love minimalism and pop art, particularly influential are Piet Mondrian, Ed Ruscha, and David Hockney.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pretty-with-yellow-wall monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b64b5cca-81f8-42e8-99e7-507dc185cfe7/PrettywithYellowWall-Wurtele-.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pretty with Yellow Wall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-golden-standard-8 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c6002dae-09e7-4d22-971c-cd05a806eb86/The_Golden_Standard8.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Golden Standard # 8 - Make it stand out Through a pinhole camera I can view the world not as I see it, but as I hope to see it; a curious, imaginative, and somewhat strange world. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fire monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/42241672-94bf-452b-b4e3-9b29d9de7253/FireFinal.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fire - Make it stand out “As a student photographer, I use the act of photographing as a way to study how meaning emerges in everyday life. I focus on photographing moments that exist in between intentionality and pure coincidence; whether that be in overlooked spaces, subtle gestures, or the emotional traces left behind in ordinary environments. My work is shaped by mostly intuition and attentiveness to a moment rather than strict adherence to traditional photography “rules”. I often photograph while quietly moving slowly through a space, because I feel that this allows moments to unfold naturally. This approach really explores my interest in how authenticity develops when control is loosened and the photographer becomes more in tune with their surroundings. In response to the accelerated pace of our contemporary lives,I aim for my photographs to encourage a slower observation. I aim to create images that feel intimate and familiar by elevating the mundane. My work functions as both documentation and personal archive, which marks my ongoing development as a student and my evolving relationship with photography as a tool for observation, reflection, and understanding.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/herd monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0f1611a5-0066-4608-a0a5-ecb7b7a86772/Herd-72x60in-Acrylic-on-Canvas-2024.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Herd - Make it stand out 72x60in, Acrylic on Canvas, 2024 “While the digital age has brought information to our fingertips, it has also laid bare our personal lives, making our triumphs and tragedies fodder for public consumption. As we seek the approval of complete strangers via follows and likes, our feelings of self-worth become increasingly intertwined with the judgment of others. My work examines the erosion of humanity in our increasingly intimate relationship with our screens. The bright and bold colors I use represent, at first glance, a joyful expression; but beneath the colorful palette lies a more shadowy existence, which I see as analogous to lives curated for consumption on social media, where a darker truth often lurks beneath the façade of smiles. Through my work, I strive to bring attention to the fragility of the modern state of being, the destructive power of anxiety, and the critical importance of mental health in the 21st century.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pressured monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/efa0a417-8b48-4194-9546-f4eb0e38be9a/IMG_0011.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pressured - Make it stand out “As a painter, I have always been drawn to experimenting with different techniques and materials. My recent work takes this further by painting directly onto shapes and symbols that carry meaning of their own. Pressured is a response to the expectations placed on me as a Gen Z only child in an Asian household in Bangkok, where art is rarely valued alongside science or mathematics. Much of my practice explores the intimate and often conflicted relationship we have with social media, the pull between comfort and self-sabotage under constant pressure. This piece poses open-ended questions about our ability to separate expectation from reality. I paint on wooden sculptures with added functional elements, where the shapes and symbols of each object directly correspond to the feelings and thoughts I aim to convey.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/third-position monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/29fc19e6-8942-4feb-8edc-23e1dd3d1559/BoneThirdPosition.png SUMMER 2026 - Third Position - Make it stand out “The title references the now-obsolete third position in ballet. It’s made from a 3-layer risograph print on fabric squares that were then sewn together. It depicts a corroded photo of my mom before a dance recital, overlaid with blurred flowers, ruminating on the slip of memory across generations.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-vision monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dc06f2e6-aad0-4834-8f42-c6266a88e3a9/The-Vision-Final.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Vision - Make it stand out “The work that I create straddles the fence between the traditional, familiar and known, and the arcane, strange and uncomfortable. My paintings and drawings feature serene, quaint nature scenes as often as alarming visages and contorted bodies. Each side of this spectrum--deemed good or bad, beautiful or ugly--is as important as the other. Closing the perceived gap between perfection and ruin is where I focus most of my energy. In tandem with the content of my work, I use a variety of mediums needed to emphasize this dichotomy. Precise pen and ink, scrubby dull-colored acrylics, highly saturated oil paints. The inspiration is everything that grows and lives and dies. I see affluent neighborhoods butted up against blocks decaying with inattention. In all nature, death and disintegration of matter coexist with life and the regeneration of each new spring. My art is an addition to a tale as old as time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/non-human monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9ad620d1-5193-4f66-a0a1-f39e2a4089b9/Gaya-Vartanyan_NON-HUMAN_2026_59HA42.5WA15D-cm.jpg SUMMER 2026 - NON-HUMAN - Make it stand out Gaya Vartanyan is a London-based artist using ceramics to explore the human form, investigating the boundaries between vulnerability and the protective outer shell, the hidden and the visible. Born into an Armenian–Ukrainian family in Tbilisi, her creative perspective is shaped by a rich cultural intersection and a deep foundation in architecture, which she uses to redesign and distort the silhouette. NON-HUMAN is a sculptural ceramic series that explores the light and dark sides of human nature, evolution, and visions of the future. The forms channel an internal struggle—a dualism of darkness and purity executed through radical geometry that alters natural body proportions. Infusing the "alien chic" of theatrical, avant-garde fashion from the 1980s and 90s with the heavy, imposing language of Brutalist architecture, the series constructs silhouettes that are defensive, powerful, and unapologetically otherworldly. The hyper-exaggerated shoulders, sharp angles, and rigid geometry are not merely a nod to the past or a futuristic aesthetic; they are a deliberate way to reshape the human silhouette, making it alien, aggressive, and fiercely protected. This tension is mirrored in a strict dialogue between form and surface. The pieces feature a stark textural contrast, combining self-developed, harsh vinyl-like glazes and raw satins with restrained, deeply tactile, leather-like surfaces—an opposition that embodies the fine line between ultimate power and profound vulnerability. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/higher-self monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/25a809f8-d0fa-4359-8734-42dc2ab6b10d/Higher-Self-36x36-2.0.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Higher Self - Make it stand out Selina Barraza - a multidisciplinary artist whose practice bridges the material and the mystical. Known for her vivacious, free-spirited approach, she moves through her studio with a dancer’s intuition, allowing rhythm and instinct to guide her hand. Her paintings, collages, and written works transform everyday materials into layered narratives that explore symbolism, spirituality and the unseen forces that shape the human experience. Barraza views her body as a vessel- a conduit through which imagery, dreams, and intuitive knowledge flow into the physical form. Each brushstroke, fragment of paper and line of poetry is placed with intention. Her work frequently invokes the Divine Feminine, Mother Nature and archetypal symbolism, inviting viewers to reconnect with inner wisdom and the natural world. Her creative process is rooted in optimism, boldness and a deep sense of purpose. Barraza’s art seeks not only to express her own revelation but to spark recognition in others. When a viewer feels reflected, moved, or awakened by her work, she considers the piece complete. For Barraza. connection is the ultimate measure of artistic success. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/veil monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c448212f-5429-4958-b791-14833b7dde8d/David-Miller_veil.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Veil - Make it stand out David Miller is a UK-born visual artist whose work explores memory, identity, and emotional disappearance through staged, AI-assisted imagery. Drawing on a background in filmmaking and narrative structure, he creates quiet psychological scenes that exist somewhere between photography, recollection, and dream. His images often focus on figures who appear suspended between presence and absence — partially obscured by light, fabric, gesture, or space itself. Rather than illustrating fixed stories, the work invites viewers into uncertain emotional territories where memory becomes unstable and meaning remains deliberately unresolved. “Veil” forms part of an ongoing exploration of concealment, fragility, and the thin surfaces that separate intimacy from distance. The image uses translucency and soft spatial distortion not simply as aesthetic devices, but as metaphors for the way people become hidden from one another emotionally, psychologically, and over time. Miller works between the UK and Finland. His recent projects examine themes of disappearance, ritual, false memory, and the quiet traces people leave behind. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/if-it-were-only-up-to-me monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9b7dad98-575e-4cf4-a817-8c2bc37cd590/If+It+Were+Only+Up+To+Me+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - If It Were Only Up to Me - Make it stand out “As a painter and printmaker, my work is in conversation with themes of aging, guilt, fear, love, and a bittersweetness that has tinged my life for as long as I can remember. Though I primarily work in gouache and acrylic paint, I often incorporate non-traditional materials in my practice, experimenting with expanding foam, glass, clay, and jewels. My usage of various materials acts as a conduit for my understanding of the boundaries between restraint and liberty, permanency and transience. The subjects of my paintings typically encompass a memory or recurring thought, and whether my recollection of it is vague and distant or strong and palpable, it is meant to be viewed through a hazy lens with the surreal quality of a dream. Some areas feel materialized and tangible, while others feel as though they could dissipate at any moment. Though my palette primarily consists of vibrant fluorescents and warm sanguine colors, I work to offset it with the delicacy of my subject matter. In my practice, I am offered the opportunity to realize the fragments of a dynamic world I’ve built and am rooted in, leaving the evidence behind in a painting.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-light-dance monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/53a7c4a1-4983-4da8-8b47-dedcc8db5873/IMG_0792.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Light Dance - Make it stand out "The Light Dance" captures the interplay of light and shadow, but equally important it features the subtle choreography of the people therein. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/meditation monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a9b05792-939c-495f-8d89-13a21fb015c8/aeaaaa+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Meditation - Make it stand out This series of works explores the intersection of individual identity, multiculturalism, and historical memory. Through traditional oil painting techniques, classical portraits are combined with modern abstract symbols, showcasing the dialogue and coexistence between different cultural backgrounds and artistic styles, as well as the individual’s identity recognition and the inheritance of historical memory within a multicultural context. The figures in these works are painted with eyes closed or turned inward, serving as an entry point into a quieter register of experience. Rooted in a personal practice of meditation, the work draws on the felt sense of consciousness at rest: the moment when the boundary between self and surroundings softens, and awareness becomes its own subject. The recurring motif of the circle echoes this quality, self-containing and without fixed origin, tracing the shape of attention turned inward. The abstract concepts of time and space are incorporated, expressing static moments amidst the passage of time through changes in color and form, delving into the relationship between the eternal and the ephemeral, and the interweaving of multi-layered reality and the subconscious. Color functions atmospherically, with pale golds, soft pinks, and dissolving blues marking the temperature of an interior state, a consciousness that has gone quiet enough to simply be. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/girl-with-red-stockings monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6529b954-abd5-4c52-9209-3e0d2432308f/GIRL-WITH-RED-STOCKINGS.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Girl with Red Stockings - Make it stand out Carolyn Schlam is an award-winning artist and author of four books on art that include THE CREATIVE PATH, THE ZEN OF ART and THE JOY OF ART series of books.

I create work with light, sound, and code—often using technical systems as metaphors for human experience. These computational metaphors become immersive installations. Systems of lights pulsing erratically in an indeterminate network embody a trans experience; data-driven sculptures translate 20 years of climate-caused color change in our oceans. The installations create a physical and conceptual space to reflect on these embodied experiences and recontextualize our relationships to them. As we acclimate to a world where AI systems render most human software engineering irrelevant, the craft of computational art becomes even more meaningful. Artist-generated code is a site of inquiry, play, and emotional discovery. Inefficiency, interference, and glitch are the brush strokes of this work. For me, the noise is often the signal.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/o17vzze1do4m6ixpg3z3vqled01gl7 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0a7a6dc0-c36c-498b-9f0e-17851f009cde/dominique-clara-LeReposdeIo.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Le Repos de Io, Combattante - Make it stand out Clara Dominique is a French artist born in Normandy. She pursued her artistic education at the School of Fine Arts in Nantes and the School of Fine Arts in Paris. She obtained a Certificate of Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art. Influenced by her grandfather, a blind poet, Clara understood from a young age the privilege of expressing herself through visual arts. Her artistic project invites viewers on a journey toward peace, contemplation and reflection, celebrating women’s strength. In an oversaturated world where everything must be said in under a minute, slowness becomes an act of resistance for Clara, who cherishes the concept of taking time. Through oil painting, Clara portrays women seeking balance, immersed in dreamscapes, to raise awareness about the beauty and fragility of the world. Her work explores themes of contemplation, sisterhood and acceptance. Her goal is to engage viewers, inviting them to slow down and to feel, while offering a positive vision for the future. She offers a suspended moment for meditation, while leaving room for emptiness and mystery, allowing for multiple interpretations and encouraging dialogue. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/still-from-un-deux-trois monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9965018c-78d8-4da5-8243-b64df8400823/Still-from-un-deux-trois-%28dir.-Brooke-Dooley-2025%29-showing-Woman-%28Genna-Moroni%29.png SUMMER 2026 - Still from un, deux, trois - Make it stand out Still from un, deux, trois (dir.

This photographic work examines the paradox between adornment and erosion—how recycled plastic ties and polyester tubes, once symbols of protection and beauty, now embody ecological fatigue and corporeal fragility.

This wonder led me to an entirely new way of approaching photography. Piqued by curiosity and driven by a passion for the art form, this combination of feelings progressed into a desire to see where this light streak photography would lead - and where curiosity goes, my heart inevitably follows. By starting small and choosing to simply recreate this concept, the basic foundations for light streak photography eventually advanced into applying different types of motion to the process - some that you’ll witness here are freehand motion, axis rotation, and zooming. Like many art projects across different mediums, Motion Commotion is a series that is all about trusting the process. While some types of movement are able to create distinct effects and add depth, the final product is impossible to control. Despite the uncontrolled outcome, each image is unique and harbors a different rhythm of energy. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/vision monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/58cf9e4c-b8ce-434f-9398-5f6602083e76/dave_hanson_vision.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Vision - Make it stand out “My photographs are elements of my ongoing visual autobiographical journey. They are the outcomes of the variations in my thoughts and the evidence of my presence in the places that I have been to, the things that I have seen and of the people I have experienced. They tell of the moments in my life that I have been paused in my steps and have awakened from life’s visual slumber. The body is the coat of our bones and the choir house of our souls. And for a moment in time, we receive the gift of the dance of life. Using long exposure times and motion, I capture unique visions with my camera, that my naked eye would never have seen and that are eternal gifts for the mind to ponder.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/shoulder-to-shoulder monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2f3d071a-4361-4427-a66c-2740d758c42a/2.Shoulder.to.Shoulder-Kait.Steward.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Shoulder to Shoulder - Make it stand out “Soaked in color and steeped in nostalgia, these works revolve around the malleability of memory. As days pass and moments begin blending together, my recollection resembles less of a truth, but a vibrant alternative. Like memories, perception changes over time, whether reimagined with hindsight or altogether blurring. These candy-colored glimpses of everyday interaction are musings on the complexity of reflection and the nuance that comes with the passing of time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/soar-golden-eagle monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2eb56965-ce6e-4b28-9b69-f41146e64c58/Soar.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Soar, Golden Eagle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cd8d9a59-5158-4a72-951f-548d4765a81e/80-Golden-Eagle-2024.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Soar, Golden Eagle - Make it stand out “The world never stands still. Reality is a transient experience. We try to make sense of it by creating images and telling stories. Most people buy into the belief that they can accurately capture the truth and reality of what they see. Most photographers do this by freezing a moment in time. My camera and computer are my paints, brushes and canvas. I use the camera, intentional camera movement (ICM), multiple exposures, and the digital darkroom to have the viewer share the emotions and feelings that inspired and prompted me to push the shutter button to capture that moment.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/lost-in-the-stars monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f76f91fd-d34a-486d-9fab-c1d006862d69/Lost-in-the-Stars.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Lost in the Stars - Make it stand out “I started making art as a teenager then abandoned it for 50 years before taking art classes again in my 70s at Napa Valley College.

His dreams, hopes, and curious glances toward the future are at the center of the work. The project raises the question of what kind of future we, as today’s generation, are leaving to children and young people. How long will their innocence last before they are forced to confront the realities of this world?

By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion, sound & moment. By questioning the concept of the here & now, I use a visual language that incorporates time as well as space – a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.

My paintings are formed around their "portraits"; the thoughtfully chosen species is placed in a new space, removed from their usual habitat or environment. It is here, protected within confines of the canvas, they take on a new story. Here, these animals can be appreciated for their remarkable power, beauty, and resilience. The need for a careful placement, protection, and power/strength comes from a groaning and longing.

Her pieces explore the tension between self-expression and cultural expectation, offering a dynamic reflection on individuality in the face of societal norms. As an academic living with a learning disability, Liefeld often centers her work on the emotional toll of masking...shedding light on the quiet grief that comes with trying to belong. Drawing from her dual roles as therapist and educator, she uses the artistic process as a vehicle for healing and connection. Through an ever-evolving blend of materials and techniques she aims to create work that is visually and emotionally resonant. Her pieces explore pain and growth, abstract elements of the human experience, and the beauty found in what is unexpected or even unaccepted. Through her expressive and experimental lens, she invites viewers to reflect on their own stories and the cultural forces that shape them. This piece focused in on the parts of the artist creative versus creating...often two distinct processes, struggle and gestalt. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/r3qfov0qoq40vr2hr6gj839xtw9g5z monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3e66310e-f7c6-4cee-a52a-872d1fffbb3d/Melina-Ahmad_Gray-Matters-%284%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mining - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4db125af-3c13-4427-b89e-e97ed698b99b/Melina-Ahmad_Gray-Matters-%282%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mining - Make it stand out “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.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/willow-project monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ca96cd09-5781-449f-be34-64e0a653a2f1/Avery_Nielsen-Webb_willow-project.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Willow Project - Make it stand out “This project adopts the name “Willow Project” from the Trump policy proposing expanded oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Using Google 3D satellite imagery to depict the landscape as a system of crunched data points. A bunch of ones and zeros in an Excel spreadsheet from a suited man thousands of miles away. Injected into these landscapes are models, whose bodies function as fantasies to the gaze. Something to be consumed and fetishized. Their bodies are marked with scars of the Alaskan pipelines that are currently upon the landscape. These pipelines spill at least 2,000 times per year and, in the worst cases, have leaked 53 million gallons of oil taking 30 years to clean up. At its core, the project interrogates a corporate fantasy: a worldview in which the Arctic is not a living ecosystem, but an abstract site of consumption. The land becomes a target, a mode of seeing where everything is flattened into value.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/quiet-down monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c5ea1105-9d0b-4525-bd13-3c76f17d2aba/QuietDown.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Quiet Down - Make it stand out “My work is bold and impactful. Driven by a desire to question society and push the boundaries we all are trapped within, I wish to inspire thought, provoke action, and create a mindset focused on the individual. I explore identity in a way that brings to light the borders everyone else traps us in.

Captured on a neutral gray background, the two horses' movements put them in a harmonious dialogue and symbolic negotiation. What is really 'Framed' in this stance is the relationship between two horses whose complementary hair colors convey the sense of trust and harmony between the two equines. Each subject, moving closer or distancing themselves from the camera, becomes either a subject or an object whose 'topography' invites the viewer to join visual explorations and reflection.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/date-with-hermes-im-on-fire monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c698314e-4d90-4b02-9909-0af812029364/5567345.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Date with Hermes, I’m on Fire - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/2 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2480bfe2-1657-4ee6-8425-1cbef359d389/Fukumaru_Portfolio_20+%281%29-02.png SUMMER 2026 - #2 - Make it stand out “My practice explores repair as both a material process and a conceptual framework through the philosophy and technique of Kintsugi. Rooted in over 28 years of experience in ceramic conservation, my work engages objects as carriers of history, where fracture, intervention, and restoration reveal layered narratives of use, damage, and care. Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with urushi lacquer and gold, informs my practice both technically and philosophically. Rather than concealing damage, I emphasize fracture as an integral part of an object’s life. The repaired surface becomes a site of transformation where breakage is neither erased nor hidden, but rearticulated as a visible and meaningful element. My work bridges traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art. While grounded in historical techniques, I incorporate ceramic fragments and materials from diverse cultural and geographic contexts. This cross-cultural methodology reflects my background in museum conservation and positions my practice within broader conversations surrounding material culture, preservation, displacement, and memory. Since relocating to Canada, my work has increasingly engaged with place-based narratives and cultural histories. Recent projects developed with the Nikkei National Museum incorporate materials connected to Vancouver’s Japanese Canadian community and former sites of displacement. Through these gestures, repair becomes a way of reactivating history and making it materially present. At its core, my practice considers how objects — and human experience — transform through rupture. By foregrounding care, continuity, and change, my work reflects on resilience not as a return to an original state, but as an ongoing process of adaptation and renewal.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/sagging-flesh monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0620da50-3202-4c1d-a092-1158e2049fb1/Smith-Ky---Sagging-Flesh.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Sagging Flesh - Make it stand out “By way of photography, printmaking, and collage, my body of work investigates themes of identity and gender, often with elements of satire. This piece aims to explore my identity and body as a queer and transgender person, commenting on the social constructions of binary gender, heteronormativity, and the common notion that bodies should look a certain, “appealing” way. When photographing the body, I enjoy stylizing and distorting it, treating the form and flesh as a sculptural material. For this piece, I intended for the body of my subject to appear peculiar and disconcerting, positioned in a manner atypical for portraits, with deep contrast and shadows further accentuating the malleability of said form and flesh. This photograph is part of a larger exploration of the innately beautiful and captivating, yet unsettling and even grotesque nature of the human body.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/blue monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ce6f1d56-f4aa-4b8f-9943-ba93389d9a97/blue-compressed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Blue - Make it stand out “My paintings move within a dual space—between figuration and pure color—where the legacy of classical painting encounters the language of modern painting, and the two simply coexist. As an Iranian artist, my central concern is understanding the historicity of painting and finding a way to connect my personal practice with the broader global currents of painting. The figure—referencing the body and narrative—stands alongside expanses of color that possess a purely abstract, self-sufficient presence. In this interaction, the figure is freed from the constraints of direct narration, and color is released from its merely subordinate role. My aim is to create a visual language that, while rooted in the history of painting, can also articulate something new—where every brushstroke is both an homage to the past and a small step toward the future. This effort is a search for a sincere and respectful position within the global discourse of painting.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/indifference-a-vendre-france-paris monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7803955b-2c1f-4808-b3b6-cd89ca12729f/IndiffeIrence-aI-vendre-%28France-Paris%29+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Indifférence à vendre (France, Paris) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fractured monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/05b05c09-4f1f-4f15-befd-513a736d83e5/Anna-Sirota-Fractured-2023+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fractured - Make it stand out “My body of work combines self-portraiture and movement to examine internal contradictions of the self and the duality of thought and feeling that exists within us all. My work aims to disrupt preconceived notions of beauty, acceptability, and worth. I seek to inspire introspection, self-acceptance, and a willingness to reconsider. While my past work reflected fear, inadequacy, and inner chaos tied to mental health and body image struggles, my practice has shifted to reflect personal growth and transformation, and explores themes of life and death, relationships, subversive thought, and vulnerability. Aesthetically, my work reflects my nostalgic spirit and fascination with the ethereal. Movement creates a ghostly ambience, blending the spiritual and corporeal as a metaphor for emotional fluidity and life’s intangibility. Much of my imagery is inspired by unseen sources: music, literature, poetry, and human connection.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-last-resort monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/565439fe-f9a4-4c34-9d21-eec541e07699/The-Last-Resort.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Last Resort - Make it stand out Adam “Swayve” Sumner is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is at the intersection of collage, assemblage, and digital media. At the core of his work is a use of everyday items, paper materials, and organic matter for irreplicable pieces of contemplative art. By recycling materials that have been discarded as waste, Swayve uses his artist practice to serve his passion for environmentalism through sustainably sourced art. His art is full of intentionality, juxtaposing the tension between structured symmetry, the dreamlike abstraction of Surrealism, and the color theory of Impressionism. Swayve utilizes combinations of disparate elements to illustrate a narrative with his pieces. They contain purposeful arrangements of balanced, intricately placed components that transcend the traditional frameworks of art. The results offer a contemplative interpretation of the modern world, challenging the viewer to find beauty within the mundane and harmony with the dichotomous. Creating art is not just a means of expression for Swayve, but it is a method for transcending the cognitive framework of everyday life. Often using mirrors as canvases, Swayve’s introspective approach to creativity is certainly captured in his art. He also acts as the COO of independent record label based out of Raleigh, NC, 47 Eyez On Me, and the creative consultant for the Portal HQ. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-palace monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a95c004c-9819-44b5-8fc2-7cafe07138b2/The-Palace.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Palace - Make it stand out “The Palace Theater in Albany appeared as I explored the New York town on foot.

I begin by photographing figurative subjects, which serve as the foundation for creating a dynamic composition. The goal is to form something cohesive and intentional, focusing more on the arrangement of shapes than on color at first. As I work, the shapes gradually take shape and suggest subtle color choices. Once I’m satisfied with the overall composition, I begin envisioning colors that will enhance the forms. The first color introduced often leads to the discovery of others, with each one influencing the rest in a delicate balance. My focus is on exploring composition, color combinations, and abstract flat backgrounds, while continually refining my painting techniques. For me, each painting is an intentional experiment, a journey that builds the groundwork for future experiments.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/wait monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a298d869-eaf3-4ef7-9683-c91d275d39e9/Wait+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Wait - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/echoes-in-the-cloister monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0ea77c97-d6ce-49b0-bb20-e0b556e00a07/Golden-corridor2.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Echoes in the Cloister - Make it stand out Soft light filters through arched stone corridors, casting shadows across the ground.

The home is supposed to be a loving, safe place but in this photo the house is dark, chipped, and run down. Reyes creates a tone of hollowness and an ache to be somewhere warm. The viewer is the one witnessing the depths of the soul of the person hurting. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/cafouillage monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b8b0a88c-2a84-4a4c-b643-fc6dcc9c507d/Obradovich_cafouillage+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Cafouillage - Make it stand out Isabella “Isa” Stéphanie Obradovich (b. 2004) is an artist, educator, activist, and content creator from McLean, Virginia, and is currently a senior studying both Art Education and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Miami University. Her work employs a variety of media, colors, and textures, emphasizing the interactions between these layered elements as an allegory for the intersections within her identity as a first-generation, disabled, and queer Latina in the United States. Though "Cafouillage" is not a self portrait, Obradovich often utilizes self-portraiture as subject matter, incorporating her ever-changing self (and perception of self within the world around her) as a motif in her work. Her art serves as a testament to her perseverance and passion for self-expression despite the predetermined circumstances she continues to work within. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/self-portrait-with-ghost-hat monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cdd6f232-6d92-4cba-87da-dfa68b9f7487/Tom_Miller_SelfPortrait_Ghost_Hat.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Self-portrait with Ghost Hat - Make it stand out Tom Miller is a figurative artist who uses the ancient conventions of portraiture and storytelling to explore his identity in a variety of historical contexts. His recent portraits use the ghost as a metaphor to address the power of the past over the present, pushing the premise that we are often marionettes dangling on the whimsical strings of historical puppeteers. Miller embraces the radical acceptance of observational drawing and painting coupled with expressionistic invention. His self-portraits feature the artist's brush as a symbol of rewriting history to confront and clarify multigenerational traumas impacting family and cultural narratives. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/sugar-creek-revisited monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/29590182-e4ab-41c7-bca4-760cb08b81cd/Garden_Cropped_03+%281%29.png SUMMER 2026 - Sugar Creek Revisited - Make it stand out “My practice explores the identity of my nuclear family, examining how inherited perceptions and expectations are conveyed through creative narratives. As a printmaker, I transform archival images and historical family documents into layered visual narratives that function both as repositories of inherited truth and facilitators of fabrication and misinterpretation. Raised between two socioeconomically divergent families–each differing in class and outward presentation, yet similar in the nuance of their internal affairs, values, pursuits, exploits, and social etiquette–I examine the commonality of expectations and traditions regarding domesticated behavior, social practice, and private experience. By blending original imagery with disruptive textures and visual metaphors, I animate and exploit the abstracted and romanticized narratives I have inherited. In this way, I compose family secrets and unspoken histories alongside outwardly polished representations of domestic and socially performative life. By intertwining imagery and stories across different timelines, my work challenges the concept of linear time, navigating the space between real and imagined histories.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/together-we-stand monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/df2fa94b-3d9b-4a98-8be2-82ede4d02936/Together-we-stand.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Together We Stand - Make it stand out “My abstract and mixed media work explores how visual environments affect the nervous system. Drawing on a long career in academic medicine, I create art intended to transform spaces into sources of calm, reflection, and renewal.

I take inspiration from natural and industrial environments. My emphasis on material and conceptual contradictions attempts to articulate my interpretation of the absurd, where illogical relationships between ideas and materials become logical. I immerse the viewer in this realm of familiar yet unfamiliar objects, the vague interactivity of my sculptures creating a sense of uncertainty. This sense of doubt prompts the viewer to question how the natural and urban worlds encroach upon each other and coalesce into our surroundings. These processes and materials merge into a body of work that creates an uneasy union between the natural and manufactured, effort and outcome, and the functional and nonfunctional.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/were-taking-this-and-theres-nothing-you-can-to-stop-it monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/994e3afa-b0cb-4cd0-b8b1-d24e6adb8d20/9069BDEF-1313-46FD-AE8D-8FD59F5BF940.jpg SUMMER 2026 - We're Taking This and There's Nothing You Can to Stop It! - Make it stand out “In my paintings, I find connecting threads throughout the world and infuse humor into everyday scenarios. Sparked by personal experiences and the observation of my surroundings, I seek resonance in our shared thoughts, dreams, and idiosyncrasies, weaving them into the tapestry of my artwork. I use a bright luminous palette to inject humor and color into the dull or show a different side of the expected. My paintings blend humor, rich color, and texture, encouraging viewers to find beauty in the unexpected. With a focus on human experiences, I use color as a universal language to evoke emotion and reflection. If a viewer stops for a moment to reflect on my work—feeling something, whether it’s emotion, curiosity, or a memory—then I’ve succeed.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/coexistence monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2cf733f7-da04-47d5-8f53-99617c057d8d/20250817_181221-%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Coexistence - Make it stand out “This artwork is titled “Coexistence”, the latest one of my four current collages related to being transgender/queer. The background is marbled paint, and the bodies (from left to right) were made with watercolor, oil pastel, and acrylic paint. I also used gold foil to highlight the “trans” aspects of each portrait (top surgery scars, binding and testosterone shot, and chest taping). The colors of the bodies align with the trans flag (pink, blue, white ((I used gray tones for the white portrait, as my reference was a POC)) ). My biggest inspiration for my art is my own gender and queerness, and the personal experiences that come with it. In “Coexistence”, the surface level meaning is that that being trans/queer can coexist with Christianity. It's not one or the other. Growing up Catholic turned me away from religion, especially after the discovery that I am trans. I never understood why being gay/trans is a sin, while in the first book of the Bible, it's stated that "God created all mankind in his own image..." (Genesis 1:27). Whenever people use religion as a crutch against their transphobia, I'm reminded that God views one who judges equal to the one they're judging (Matthew 7:1). The biggest/main aspect of Christianity is to love each other as you would want them to love you. My sin is love. Yours is hate. I also used different body types to showcase that you don't have to fit in the stereotypical "skinny and white" box that a lot of the internet deems as "conventionally attractive" in trans men. This has always bothered me, especially as a bigger person. Looking up trans influencers, clothing styles, or even music/art, it's almost always a smaller white person. I sought out the plus sized influencers that I see myself in. I looked up trans POC influencers and artists that I can admire and support while learning their own struggles that come both in and out of the LGBTQ community. I encourage you to do the same. Almost every element in this piece is symbolic to the overall theme, such as the olive branch in the middle portrait and the actual crucifix necklace on the third portrait. A hidden example is that many of the pieces are held down to the backboard by little nails, such as how Christ was nailed to the cross. The two bible verses at the bottom were found in my prior research to working, as I remembered from my youth that there were many examples of acceptance in the bible. The other line on the bottom right of the piece is from the song Fable by Gigi Perez. The song explores grief, religious trauma, and her queer identity. It highlights how the singer is worried she won’t get to see her sister (who died in 2020) again because of her queerness. Overall, I really resonated with the line “Love was the law, religion was taught”, and thought it was super important to add to the piece.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/orbit-expo-installation monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ce0e7bd6-e351-4320-a1e9-84d9a56eafe3/Dana-Major---Orbit.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Orbit; EXPO Installation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7d4409a8-c582-4e3a-b434-8f1c0ca02476/Dana-Major---EXPO-Installation.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Orbit; EXPO Installation - Make it stand out “My interactive light installations investigate how perception creates reality. Studio-made LEDs, repurposed glass, reflection, shadow, and lensing explore the surprise of worlds beyond what we usually see. The lenses of microscopy and astronomy show patterns and processes that, bound up with the inherent limitations of seeing, come to be called reality. My work brings an opportunity for slow observation of lights we see, but don’t notice, every day. There are no computers, no digital programming, and no projectors involved in my work. I fabricate my own light emitting diodes at the soldering table in order to control color and intensity. When the light leaves the emitter, it goes to me, the human maker, to lens, colorize, and move, and not to a computer that is limited to the parameters of its manufacture. This is slow light, at the pace of the human.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/small-smiles monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/602a7659-3d3a-4ec6-b35b-d5595072dc4c/IMG_6167.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Small Smiles - Make it stand out “Small Smiles was photographed on a road trip to move me into college. I went two hours out of the way to go to a small nature reserve in Wyoming. When we got there, there was a small family with three kids playing on the beach of a small pond. This scene really stuck with me while I was walking around, as it reminded me of the joys of childhood. It reminded me so much of a younger me playing with my friends, and it made me think about how I was going to college and growing up. This photograph captures a fleeting moment of innocence and joy, something I often find myself searching for but rarely notice in the everyday rush of life. By pausing to observe this quiet scene, I was reminded of the simplicity and wonder that come with being present, even in unexpected places.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/these-died-with-you monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d4b41bf5-29b7-4dbc-a9fa-49c2903d8e29/Paige_Young_These-Died-With-You_2025-1+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - These Died With You - Make it stand out “Humans hold onto photographs, items, and objects that hold memories or stories of the loved ones who have passed away. We may have no actual connection to the physical person who once held these narratives, yet because the stories were explained to us, or because we have been told they are connected to our family, we keep them. Without these explanations or experiences, items that we find in attics, homes, or spaces that need to be cleaned out would be considered junk and often would be tossed away. My grandfather passed away in 2024, and when he moved out of his home and into a care center, I acquired many of our family photo albums. Some found images contained reproductions of my family from the 1850s through the early 1900s. These people are strangers to me. While my grandmother was still alive, I decided to take these photographs and ask the story behind them, and she shared with me my grandfather’s lineage and family history. These photographs are more impactful to me now; however, the people still are unknown to me personally. The more distant these narratives are, the more unclear the stories resonate with me which is shown to the viewer from reproduction in the darkroom. We assume or hope that our family history includes ‘good’ and ‘decent’ people, but the truth is we will never know. The closer the timeline gets to our time of living, the more we are familiar with the setting, characters in our story, and the situations that came about. Without these handed-down tales, these stories would die with those who were told them last. Without my questions, these stories would die, and without me telling anyone else about them, these stories will end with me.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/women-in-power monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2cc3d853-3642-440e-8915-3f350cd7e8ba/ART_20211017-204726.png SUMMER 2026 - Women in Power - Make it stand out Cubist Portraiture Carousel Faces Spinning Around Multi - Perspectives; Fractured but round.

Her practice incorporates traditional and alternative processes, such as cyanotypes and analog photography. Her work seeks to push the boundaries of photography by experimenting with subject matter as well as the print medium itself. In one of her ongoing series, "Animalia Exotica," she digitally manipulates and collages images of animals and plants. Each image is carefully comprised of several different photographs that are pieced together before being printed as cyanotypes onto recycled tea bags. The result is a body of work that borders on humorous and absurd. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-last-time-mystery monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c0fb365a-2045-4070-a524-a8a76a262c4a/The-Last-Time-Mystery.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Last Time Mystery - Make it stand out “I want to show time in motion and frozen, the liminal moment when story becomes history.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/reflection-of-emotions monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7f8f34ae-f76b-49bc-99e7-891a2519ef18/img031-1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Reflection of Emotions - Make it stand out “I am a multidisciplinary artist whose sculptural art practice spans everything from glass to textiles; driven by curiosity and material transformation. My art reflects my lived experience through themes of the body, memory, and personal resilience.

I met this couple inside a small local restaurant, where conversations about contracts and community matters unfolded in the midst of everyday life. Although I arrived in Rangtang in a professional capacity, I was struck by the quiet dignity and steadiness with which they carried themselves. The patterned wallpaper and warm interior light of the restaurant became an important part of the composition, grounding the portrait in a lived, shared public space rather than a staged setting. Working in oil allowed me to explore warmth, texture, and layered surfaces—the folds of heavy garments, the weathered quality of skin shaped by altitude and time. Rather than presenting them as subjects of documentation, I sought to capture a moment of presence: two individuals inhabiting their world with composure and subtle strength.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/twiggy-ish monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/70e52b78-20a4-4816-9de9-2e0091f1c336/Twiggy+ish_IsriyaMcFillin+%281%29-compressed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Twiggy-ish - Make it stand out “Silk screening intrigued me with how it can simplify an image into only light and shadows and nothing in between. I’m always fascinated with faces and portraits and I was inspired by the pop icon ‘Twiggy’ for this particular piece. As a fashion designer and illustrator, I’m drawn to curves and fluidity of the lines, so using a hand-cut stencil with bright color ink was an experiment for me. The end result was a bright ombre of her portrait with a touch of fashion-illustration energy.

By combining these elements, my art is able to explore the interplay between technology, humanity and natural phenomena. I aim to create art that is both aesthetically pleasing and conceptually intriguing. Through my art, I hope to explore the implications of technology and its impact on our lives.

Inspired by late 19th, early 20th century artist collectives, she is wholly enamored with the medium of paint - what can be achieved with color and brushstrokes to communicate mood and energy. Themes in her work include nature, atmospheric light, spaces we create to inhabit, and interpersonal observations. Her work is in private & public collections across the US & Europe.

Working primarily in graphite, I carefully construct figures through crosshatching and shading. I am interested in how the figure acts as evidence of one's experiences and how, through careful artistic construction, they can reflect ephemerality and emotional, physical, and personal struggle, while remaining atemporal. I aim to have my figures stylistically reflect academic traditions while engaging in and being contextualized by contemporary political and social challenges, ultimately resituating the nude figure in the artistic zeitgeist. Alongside my work in graphite, I enjoy working with oil paint and documentary and portrait photography.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/where-the-lupins-grow monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e0570d80-9b3b-441c-a1cc-10cc86c92eed/Where-The-Lupins-Grow.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Where the Lupins Grow - Make it stand out “My creative practice is grounded in a deep reverence for the physical mass, narrative mystery, and tactile memory of transitional spaces. Working in a heavy, expressive impressionist style informed by historical impasto techniques, I seek to bridge the gap between architectural structure and wild, organic growth. Each canvas begins with a foundational blend of oil mediums and ground marble dust, transforming the flat surface into a sculptural, relief-like terrain where thick palette knife strokes catch and shift ambient light. In Where the Lupins Grow, this methodology explores a profound visual threshold. The composition follows a young boy stepping through a door in an ivy-covered brick wall, caught between two distinct worlds. Behind him lies a structured landscape of manicured gardens and formal architecture - a realm of order and containment. As he crosses the threshold onto a winding path, he emerges into an immersive, untamed field of lupines that erupts across the foreground. Built with dense, gestural layers of paint and mineral grit, the brick wall and the sprawling flowers become tactile, physical presences. The painting serves as an allegory for discovery, growth, and the courage required to step away from the familiar into the vibrant, uncultivated beauty of the unknown. Ultimately, the work invites the viewer to stand at the edge of this threshold, experiencing the transition not merely as a narrative window, but as an intimate, sensory encounter with the literal weight of light, architecture, and wilderness.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-forager monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fd724eee-f66d-49f6-af95-0fe11c85844e/Alexis_Avlamis_TheForager_2025.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Forager - Make it stand out “The Forager belongs to my Sacred Feminine series, which is suggestive and focuses on wax portraits of women, which resonate with themes of introspection, transformation, resilience and spirituality. They are painted with molten pigmented beeswax: the ancient encaustic technique which imparts a lifelikeness to the figures. Its longevity and durability contributes to a sense of timelessness. The multilayered brush strokes of color, texture and volume build up a low relief on the painting's surface. These women are unknown to me, they are usually set in natural, historical or abstract backdrops and represent archetypes such as the dreamer, the visionary, the guardian, the seer, the forager, the warrior and finally points to a personal vision of what's to come in the near future. My influences are drawn from world mythology, the Symbolism movement, science fiction and indicate a dialogue between the past and the future, the tangible and the imagined. They can be seen as a visual representation of complex inner lives, filled with dreams, memories and unspoken emotions. Through this narrative exploration, I seek to portray the depths of human psychology, particularly female experience through an interplay of vulnerability and strength, imbued with a sense of mystery and reflection.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/well-be-with-you-soon monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b1977b8e-9015-4bcb-9c03-dcab010de929/hospital-waiting-room.jpg SUMMER 2026 - We'll Be With You Soon - Make it stand out Aether Schneider is an artist from Kansas City Missouri studying Seqeutial Art at Missouri State University.

I love to be outdoors and almost always have a camera with me to capture photos of scenes and objects which pique my interest or speak to the artistic side of me. This photo came about during one of several walks along the Susquehanna riverbanks. To me, photography establishes a connection between the outside world and my creative sense inside of me.

I am 61-year-old survivor of oral cancer living in Danville, Illinois, who suffers significant complications from surgeries and radiation. As I cannot generally attend festivals, I rely on online submissions to showcase my work. I also was once a reporter for the Danville Commercial-News, but my PTSD made it very difficult to write. I took up painting and digital photography to express what I can no longer write about. I taught philosophy for 28 years, 18 years of which were full-time, before my inability to swallow or speak forced me to retire. In the last few years, I have taught art and film as well. I have been shown at many physical galleries across the U.S., from Hawaii to Rhode Island. I also have been shown in many digital galleries. I love to paint, but lately have taken to digitally manipulating “bad photographs,” structuring the image so that there is an unironic tension in the work between the beautiful and the distressing. This tension is found in all my works – an otherness with a desire for itself (to put it philosophically). This calls into question the artistic object and reference, since I drain the referential content of altered photographs and my paintings. My influences include Modernist Art – Mondrian and Pollack especially – and the rather unclassifiable Gerhard Richter. The work “Precession Of Healing Energy” was originally a closeup photo of ice in a tea glass. That’s interesting on many levels, considering what my manipulation uncovered in the photograph.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-body-electric monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0a37e710-2c02-40e3-994c-aa4768e76fe5/Bardach_Nancy_The-Body-Electric_full.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Body Electric - Make it stand out “Contrast these impressions of rough spinal columns and abstract bones with elegant x-rays of my knees.

I’m especially interested in shapes and items that when combined with color and structure result in more complex images. In photography I utilize black and white to emphasize contrast and form. Most of my paintings and photographs are intended as a visual celebration, but I will address ideas and themes intended to invoke thoughtful conversation.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/mother-and-child monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/365e23f6-2d0f-43b8-8f32-b23c16a43f5e/Aakhus-U-Penn-publication-Mother-and-Child.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mother and Child - Make it stand out “As a gay man, traveler and a person deeply interested in the diversity of human culture my practice has been shaped by my growing awareness of the unique character of our shared world. When I travel it is not to urban settings where globalization is in the process of shaping a monolithic culture but to those places that are remote, slow to change and have preserved, as much as possible, indigenous ways and beliefs. So I go, to the remote small communities of Latin America, the Indian Himalayas, the villages and shrines of Southeast Asia and the Ivory Coast of West Africa. The conquest and colonization have been brutal, but the resilience of indigenous culture is short of remarkable. What fascinates me is the ways in which indigenous cultures have used the contact to barrow and build on their own traditional beliefs. As much as Picasso’s encounter with African art was instrumental in shaping cubism, my encounters with remote cultures have shaped the Magical Real world in my art. In this space I am weaving a new personal mythology that examines gender roles, traditional cultures and their persistence in the modern world. A narrative begins to emerge reshaping my images into some new amalgam of their story and my own. I look at religious iconography and spiritual questions from diverse cultures to inform the content of my art. My process is to select a group of photos, some that I will use and some that I will put aside. I rely on intuition to select images that have esthetic appeal and remembrances from travel. An artist needs to build a compendium of works that are extensive and from time to time something almost magical occurs. A painting or image that takes on a life of its own, hardly recognizable as something that you made. In ages past they would have called it the muse, but a more modern view sees the emergence of subconscious connections to forgotten encounters and emotional responses that arrive at some magical real conclusion. In the end the important work is not the painting or digital work that proposes the answer, but the work that in its transcendence raises some unsalvable mystery.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/delray-at-night monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/515316e6-f2e3-44cc-b8c5-16752990aa5e/Delray-at-Night.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Delray at Night - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/tea monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c2a04625-0581-4e88-9cad-6241b5be77d5/Snider_Tea_Sculpture_14x4.5x3in_2024.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Tea - Make it stand out “My sculptural practice brings internal, often unspoken experiences into physical form. These are things we know by heart. We feel them long before we have names for them. “Tea” is inspired by the afternoons spent with too many girls gathered in too small a space - a bedroom, a bathroom, a booth at brunch - when the latest gossip is being shared. Tongues overlap in the same way sentences do. Everyone is talking at once, every word an important contribution to the intertwining web.

The work explores the dialectics of relationships and the limitations of spoken and written language. It draws on personal and embodied experiences, including swimming during a period of depression, living with dyslexia, and the logic of Boustrophedon, a style of writing in which alternate lines are reversed and mirrored. This mirrored structure, derived from the Greek for “as the ox turns while plowing,” informs my thinking about physical, conceptual, and perceptual folds. The act of folding creates proximity across distance and forges connections. Folding becomes a form of “languaging” that transcends spoken and written words.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/into-the-mystic monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/13d8ae95-fb9d-4594-8188-fd5d640b9754/Into-the-Mystic.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Into the Mystic - Make it stand out “My work is driven by deep curiosity and a passion for exploring the intersection of art and science. My medium of choice is copper. I create abstract compositions through the development of colorful and morphologic patinas on bare copper via chemical reactions. Copper serves as a visual representation of elemental nature, while the patinas represent both scientific and artistic processes. The final works fuse these worlds, resulting in pieces that are aesthetically pleasing yet intellectually stimulating. Copper patinas elucidate the tension between the material's metallic and oxidized states, creating a dialogue between the two. The process of layering and manipulating patina combines intentional choice with the element of surprise, yielding a dynamic body of work.

She is an active member of the German Association of Artists and the winner of prestigious art awards. Kristine Narvida prefers working with oil on linen, using models as her subjects. Her paintings explore the dynamics of human emotion through abstract figuration. With the theme “Presence” she is driven by human characteristics and sensations, looking at Presence - as it is and engaging in conversations about what cannot be said. Mastery of form and technique are extremely important to her. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fantasa monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6f70e865-7c99-4982-a0fc-b7ade3e57cec/Fantasia.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fantasía - Make it stand out Jesica Frustaci began her artistic journey practicing art therapy.

Almost all of my female figures are self-portraits — they embody my inner monologues through color, texture, and form. Working with textile (cold batik), ceramics, and graphic media, I combine northern austerity with eastern sensuality, balancing control and spontaneity, tension and warmth.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pigeons monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f1c25186-14fa-4742-84dd-7e052e18047f/Pigeons.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pigeons - Make it stand out “In my work, I continue to explore and develop my own artistic expression, striving not to limit my approach to a single style or predefined framework. An openness to different visual languages allows me to move freely between abstract and realistic representations, depending on the needs of the inner impulse that guides the work. My paintings can be seen, in a way, as a personal diary; through them, I record my own feelings, states, and the phases I go through. Each work carries a trace of a particular moment, an inner experience or transition, expressed through symbolism, form, color, and composition. In the process of creation, my focus lies in the relationship between emotion and visual expression, where style emerges naturally as a result of exploration rather than as a predetermined framework.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/drawing-33 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fdb1083c-142e-4788-bc71-fd0d9197547e/Drawing-33-20-x-25.5.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Drawing #33 - Make it stand out “My work seeks to subvert the traditional hierarchy between drawing and painting. By utilizing sketches derived from my own completed paintings as a structural armature, I elevate the drawing process to a primary medium. During each studio session, I rotate the orientation of the piece, forcing a constant re-evaluation of the entire picture plane. This iterative approach is mirrored in my physical technique: a rigorous additive and subtractive process where the scraping off of the oil pastel holds as much weight and intent as the pastel itself.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/reflection monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/692b8f15-073b-49ce-8701-22390e54a011/IMG_0586.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/between-worlds monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0896c1eb-7d32-4f94-b86a-c3ac59a6e14a/Kendyll_Hillegas_Between-Worlds_2025.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Between Worlds - Make it stand out “Light as a physical presence — the way it passes through skin, pours through windows, coats strands of hair — was something I remember being fascinated by as a child. Then and now, these images evoke a sense of longing, an almost painful desire for eternity, paired with a knowledge that the object of my attention is temporary. As a mother, I cannot help but see the parallels between this lifelong visual obsession and the experience of bringing a child into the world. There's a feeling of intense connection juxtaposed with clear differentiation, of interminable ordinariness right alongside aching temporality. A quiet witnessing of their expanding universe, even as they still need me to wash their hair. Both of these experiences demand the same thing: to stand inside the collision of permanence and impermanence, and to not look away.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/emotionally-unavailable-to-rejection-letters monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/903c7e76-1135-4ba9-8e78-cbaf63e92b53/Emotionally-Unavailable-To-Rejection-Letters_2023_Latex-paint-and-resin-on-wood-panel_24x18x2.5-inches_JENNY-WU_large.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Emotionally Unavailable to Rejection Letters - Make it stand out “My sculptural paintings explore composition, color, expertise, control, chance, and surprise. They acknowledge the sensational and perceptual properties of materiality and then transforms the materials, from their original forms and purpose, to present them within new contexts. Long interested in tactility, in-betweenness, embodiedness, and construction, I currently transform liquid paint into sculpture, a process derived from making oil on canvas paintings and discovering the many layers of oil paint beneath the surface. Those layers of oil paint embody linear time, repetitive processes, and material characteristics. Now, I exemplify the layering by pouring a thick coat of latex paint one color at a time on a silicone surface, allowing each color dry completely before adding another layer, and repeating the process many times. The colors of each layer are premeditated. I later cut the dried paint to reveal the layers of cross-section, which I then use to build up relief and composition—piece by piece—on wood panels. The cross-section juxtaposes order and chaos: the consistent order of paint from old to new, and the imperfection of subtle differences in thicknesses. These sculptural paintings operate as both built objects and records (of labor, gesture, accident). Each piece follows a specific pattern, uniting the differences to present a systematic imagery. Resin coating is added later on to amplify the colors, as well as to protect the paint. These works question our basic assumptions about what we consider paintings can be and what sculptures can be. Transforming latex paint from its original, liquid form—before fashioning it within new contexts and forms—the artworks acknowledge an abiding passion for the sensational and perceptual properties of materiality. Titles play an important role in my practice, in some cases mirroring my process of cutting and rearranging layered materials: I Wish The Moon Meowed (2024); From Type A to Type A With Gratitude (2022). Sourcing my titles from inadvertent sayings by myself and people around me, my titling compounds the humorous and constructive elements, and expands the space from the physical work to its title. Balancing clarity and surprise, my sculptural paintings are the result of countless juxtapositions and an expanding set of contexts.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/show-me-your-papers monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4a6103a8-d2aa-4df9-baa3-323489dc4944/IDs_ShowMeYourPapers_Compressed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Show Me Your Papers - Make it stand out Maria Eduarda Lima-Roope (b. 1999, Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian mixed media artist based in California whose practice explores identity, culture, and the layered meaning behind materials and forms. In her own words: "I hope to start a conversation in someone's mind, built upon conversations I have had with myself." Her series IDs: Immigration and the Self is a first-person account of navigating the American legal immigration system, doing things the right way, and discovering many reasons why someone might not. Working with newspapers, official documents, and the physical materials of bureaucracy, the series holds two questions in tension: what does this system say about a person, and who is that person once the system is done with them? Show Me Your Papers brings those questions into sharp relief. ICE coverage sourced from newspapers, her own green card denial documents reframed almost like a cage, and at the center, two origami birds folded from marriage certificates. The paper that traps and the paper that binds. The birds suggest freedom and partnership, but they are held inside the very system that defines their limits. The title means what it always means at a border: prove yourself. But the papers are all present, denials, acceptance, a real marriage, a country that calls immigrants criminals. The demand turns back on the institution: here are my papers. Now show me yours. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/alps-14 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ed2f4fce-411f-4248-be33-59169b2842fc/Alps-14-100x100.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Alps 14 - Make it stand out “My practice excavates the material investigation, where the artwork becomes a site of layered processes unfolding over time. At the core of this investigation is industrial cold tar—a primordial substance formed from ancient biomass, carrying geological memory. Tar absorbs light and resists immediate clarity, introducing structural friction and eruption into the visual field. When tar is combined with the fluidity of oil and pigments, merged with stabilizing material as gesso, it produces a tension between contradicting materials (diluted by turpentine and water), this is the basis of the central notion of layering as a structural condition. Each painting develops through successive strata of material interaction: absorption, oxidation, sedimentation, and reactivation. Layers merge, collapse, crack, and reshape, generating forms that cannot be fully predetermined. Layering functions both as a material process and a perceptual model. The strata evoke the body as a layered system, where internal and external states continuously interact. Emotional registers, such as tension, security, and anxiety, are translated into shifts between density, exposure, and movement across the surface. The resulting surface becomes an archive of temporal shifts, evoking the artwork as a layered system in which internal and external states remain in constant flux. This practice is the basis of the Event Horizon body of works dealing with what is hidden and what is revealed in human life. This process aligns with FLY - my broader research framework - which examines how complex systems evolve through the interaction of opposing forces. Within this logic, reality itself is stratified: what we perceive as surface is always the visible threshold of deeper processes. The work is constructed through a sequence of encounters—between control and unpredictability, density and dispersion, concealment and revelation, darkness and light. The concept of Centar operates as a conceptual anchor within this layered field. As a synthesis of “center” and “tar,” it proposes that structure emerges through accumulation and tension around a core. This condition can be observed across scales—from cells and molecules to organs, planets, stars, galaxies, and galactic clusters. Each evolving phase forms a new layer, while each stratum retains the trace of those preceding it—an inscription in time. The center, however, remains dynamic, continuously shifting as new material is introduced. The resulting images evoke cosmological phenomena—nebulae, stellar dispersions, gravitational fields—as structural parallels. Just as galaxies form through the accumulation, collapse, and expansion of stellar gas and dust, the paintings mirror these dynamics at a material scale. The work traces a trajectory from the matter brick stones toward the logic of the universe’s structure.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/1906-avant-garde monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d7d76159-1cf9-45f1-9ad9-d67241af8423/1906-avant-garde-by-Charles-Matta.png SUMMER 2026 - 1906 Avant Garde - Make it stand out “While my formal training and practice is in the realm of architecture, the art component of my profession contributes and influences my outlook in photography. My passion for photography as a story telling medium continues to evolve and enrich an interest in capturing compelling images whether in nature, architecture, travel, or observing people.

I experiment with oils, acrylics, palette knives, dripping, pouring, and unconventional photographic materials, allowing texture and spontaneity to become integral to the creative process. Influenced by Abstract Expressionism, I embrace movement, energy, and the unexpected. For me, art is an evolving dialogue between observation and imagination.

I began as a landscape painter, drawn to nature’s ability to offer refuge by bringing outdoor environments into interior spaces as sources of comfort and escape. Early training in photorealism shaped my commitment to careful observation, while my love of impressionist painters emphasized light, color, and emotional resonance over strict realism. As my practice evolves, abstract elements allow for greater symbolism and reflection. Informed by my work as a PhD-level ethicist, I believe artists have a responsibility to engage truth and justice while offering a compelling vision of the future. My goal is to create paintings that are visually uplifting yet meaningful—works that invite contemplation, emotional connection, and hope.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/dream-under-the-city monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/781d7ea3-32c5-4d8a-8df1-cabb9061276d/IMG_1478.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Dream Under the City - Make it stand out Acrylic on canvas, 45.6 × 35 inches “Beneath Paris, far from postcards and storefronts, hundreds of people live in unimaginable conditions, inside unsafe underground tunnels, largely ignored.

This painting explores a quiet moment of pause and inward reflection set within an idealized landscape. The solitary figure, viewed from behind, stands at the edge of a terrace overlooking still water and distant hills. By turning the subject away from the viewer, I invite a sense of anonymity—she becomes less an individual and more a vessel for contemplation, memory, and longing. Light and color play a central role in shaping the mood. The cool blues of the water and sky are balanced by warm stone and greenery, creating a harmonious space that feels both real and dreamlike. The scene is not meant to depict a specific place, but rather a state of mind—one of stillness, escape, and quiet anticipation. Ultimately, this work reflects my interest in moments that exist between action and thought, where nothing outwardly happens, yet everything feels possible.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/jimi-hendrix monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b9c363e6-e0cf-4e9e-ba56-49a6338bc9e2/Jimi_Hendrix.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Jimi Hendrix - Make it stand out “My work focuses on visual development, creating sci-fi inspired artwork with bold, vibrant palettes.

I’m drawn to the tension between realism and abstraction—where familiar imagery begins to unravel into dreamlike, fragmented worlds. Using layered paint, collage, and gestural mark-making, I construct compositions that feel both grounded and unstable, reflecting the way memory, media, and emotion overlap in the modern visual landscape.

I create forms that dramatically twist and curve, rising and folding in ways that appear to defy gravity. Each piece is captured in a moment of near-tipping or bending, a state of tension where instability is held, not broken. The raku firing process is integral to the character of these vessels. The extreme thermal shock combined with heavy reduction atmosphere generates the distinctive metallic surfaces: iridescent blues transitioning into copper, silver and gold shifting with changes in light and perspective. This unpredictable dance between flame and clay produces unexpected beauty while the curves of the vessels lean into instability without collapsing.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/nurses monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a1b9f131-78be-4508-a5c7-7da0b2bf828a/Nurses.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Nurses - Make it stand out “My work examines autobiographical depression and anxiety, and the emotional reactions inherent to these states of consciousness.

Merging photographic texture, digital painting, and typographic abstraction, he creates limited-edition works on paper that transform letterforms into reflections on how language shapes—and distorts—our shared perceptions, exposing the complex relationship between symbol, meaning, and truth. About this work: This triptych is the weather report issued for the day before creation, referenced in the unprecedented conditions described in Genesis 1:2, the second verse in the Bible. The triptych progresses from right to left. Part 1 (right) reports on the chaotic conditions in which the Creator had to work, ultimately resulting in the inclusion of the word ‘tohubohu” in the English dictionary. This piece contains the first phrase of Genesis 1.2: (in transliterated Hebrew, "Ve-ha’aretz hayeta tohu vavohu"), “The earth was a formless void and chaos.” Part 2 (center) examines the role of insufficient ambient light on the sea surface. This piece includes the second phrase of Genesis 1.2 (in transliterated Hebrew, "Va-hoshech al pnai-hatehom") “And darkness was upon the surface of the Deep.” Part 3 (left) explores the influence of the Creator on the weather report itself. The third and final phrase of Genesis 1:2 is cited: (in transliterated Hebrew, "Va-ruach Elohim merachefet al-pnai hamayim") “And the Breath of Elohim (or “an almighty wind”) hovered over the face of the water.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/mens-safe-space monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/732206a4-0826-457b-91e0-8789441bd245/IMG_0502.png SUMMER 2026 - Men's 'Safe Space' - Make it stand out In "Men’s ‘Safe Space’," Misha Nicholas uses the manicured grounds of Pennsylvania’s Longwood Gardens to challenge the idea that "leisure" is a neutral experience. Through a feminist lens, Nicholas explores how gender and race dictate who is truly granted the luxury of safety in America. The people walk freely through a sunlit corridor, yet the scene is disrupted by heavy glitches. These distortions represent the "safe space" not as a place of true peace, but as one of hidden chaos. For Nicholas, this visual interference suggests that the figure's experience in these public gardens is a filtered reality—a fragile peace maintained by systemic power and the labor of others. By deconstructing this walk, Nicholas asks: In a landscape built for beauty, who is actually allowed to rest, and at what cost is that peace kept? https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/frantz-fanons-last-coffee monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6531334a-b5a8-494f-a10d-2ec54cf78615/Alexandre_Desane_Frantz_Fanon_Last_Coffee.png SUMMER 2026 - Frantz Fanon's Last Coffee - Make it stand out Frantz Fanon’s Last Coffee is a pastel-on-canvas painting that depicts an intimate, suspended moment rather than a historical scene. The work presents Frantz Fanon alone, shortly before his death, in a quiet interior marked by tension between presence and disappearance. Through a restrained composition and a limited but expressive palette, the painting explores contrasts between clarity and exhaustion, thought and silence, light and shadow. The use of oil pastels allows for direct, tactile gestures, emphasizing vulnerability and immediacy rather than monumentality. Rather than illustrating Fanon’s ideas, the work focuses on a human pause—an interior moment where political consciousness, physical fragility, and solitude coexist. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/innocence-amp-code monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cb503089-defe-4f29-bec9-36147f4996fd/innocence--CODE-BOAPS-Submission.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Innocence & Code - Make it stand out “My work explores emotional connection in a rapidly changing world where human sensitivity increasingly meets technology, urban life, and shifting identities. Through intuitive painting, layered textures, and symbolic figures, I seek to visualize invisible relationships — between people, environments, and emerging forms of intelligence. Innocence & Code reflects this dialogue through the encounter of a child and a humanoid robot. Rather than conflict, the painting suggests curiosity, trust, and the possibility of coexistence between human emotion and artificial intelligence. My practice often moves between abstraction and figurative symbolism, guided by energy, movement, and intuitive mark-making. Each work becomes a visual reflection on how connection, empathy, and imagination shape our shared future.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/untitled-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/73cc08a6-9b13-4d79-b6ba-a5536f783550/Casey_Untitled_Fullsize.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Untitled - Make it stand out “The consuming feelings of paralyzing indecision and anxiety make progress feels impossible. Every path forward is a jagged edge, so I retreat into myself when those edges slice and stab. This piece comes from the feelings that arise when I have an idea of what may lie ahead, but that image is distorted in my mind, obscured behind some impassible barrier, splintered into unrecognizable pieces of a whole I can’t fully conceive. The overwhelming feelings of anxiety and uncertainty of a good future are themes that informed the material and making of this piece. The fragility of the shattered glass, held together with tape, is akin to holding onto a vision for my future – it needs to be handled carefully, and the vision itself – looking through the glass – is fragmented, abstracted, and nondistinctive. Textures found in nature and outdoors provide glimpses of something familiar, but they aren’t fully clear, acting like blinds on a window.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/gift-of-the-seed monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bf59a9fe-4935-4f45-b7f3-ce4655143694/Shicoff-Gift-Of-The-Seed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Gift of the Seed - Make it stand out “I have been making art, looking at it, thinking about it since receiving an easel at 6 years of age. Studio work is the passionate thread that runs through my life. My observations and reflections have resulted in a visual art that includes paintings, prints, collages, and public art installations. My studio is a place where I create visual statements about people, their relationship to themselves and their surroundings. My work is figurative yet not realistic. The humans are connected to the eternal land and are, when appropriate to the subject, situated in fragmented or whole landscapes. The question for me is always, how can I organize the colors, lines and shapes or forms to fit together to result in a cohesive whole and that the viewer reacts to its beauty while simultaneously seeing a message about themselves and other people.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-sanctuary-of-one monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e3fa8f39-4c70-4c91-9611-79fb21333174/Sanctuary-of-One_Mark-Sajatovich_2026.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Sanctuary of One - Make it stand out Inspired from an early age by the Group of Seven, Alex Colville and Canadian folk art, Mark Sajatovich discovered a life-long interest in color, line and composition that led to an exploration of abstract expressionism and the discovery of Kandinsky, Albers, Dubuffet and Kline. Together, these influences eventually resulted in the production of a series of post-covid works that blended aspects of geometric abstraction with modern gothic-inspired elements. Paintings that captured his observations on social and environmental challenges. Today, his works interpret the evolution of society through creative uses of color and lines. His paintings combines the motion of abstract expressionism with the authenticity of art brut and the strength of geometric abstraction. More recent works by Sajatovich have successfully forged a style of contemporary art that is guided by a belief in the canvas as a conduit for self-exploration as well as artistic expression. His work calls upon the viewer to engage with the pieces not as finished objects but as sites of exploration, where texture, color, and form come together to generate new meanings and promote contemplation. At the heart of his artistic philosophy lies a deep appreciation for the authenticity and the growing capacity of abstract and art brut to challenge traditional perspectives, provoke courageous interpretations and inspire honest reflection. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/heart-led monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/08ab7db2-c4ab-426f-b791-304d9edd52cd/heartled1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Heart Led - Make it stand out “I am an intuitive mixed-media Artist that explores the space before identity. Before the labels, roles and conditions that accumulate over a life of layered storms and complex experiences. Drawing from dreams, psychological archetypes and art as self-discovery, I create paintings, body art and mixed media works embedded with living materials: herbs, spices, flowers, seeds. Each piece is a fragment of an evolving mythic transformation, a shedding back toward what I am rather than who I have been told to be. My works serve as portals. Not to be intellectually understood but viscerally felt. When someone views my work they are being invited into a new mode of perceiving. There's an invitation for a momentary pause of recognition, a dissolving of preconceived conditioning. A conversation that predates language. When I create it becomes ritual, ceremonious. My materials mainly consist of donated, recycled and found objects, already transformed by living. Living art. Like the work itself, nothing starts from scratch. Everything is a resurrection. I create for those in the in-between. The crossing between states of being. Not who they used to be. Not yet who they're becoming. I create for everyone who has survived the threshold home to themselves. My art isn't just seen, it looks back.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-venerable-smile monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5d5e5f04-ec77-43da-879d-bbbb99541869/The-Venerable-Smile.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Venerable Smile - Make it stand out "The Venerable Smile" is a realistic watercolor portrait of Somdet Phra Yananawachirodom (Luang Phor Viriyang Sirintharo), a highly revered Thai Buddhist meditation master celebrated for his lifetime dedication to spreading peace. Created with a strict focus on high-fidelity anatomical precision, this artwork seeks to go beyond a simple likeness, meticulously capturing the profound depth of tranquility, inner wisdom, and the unconditional compassionate warmth that defined his iconic, gentle smile. Every wrinkle and facial plane is rendered with careful attention to structural truth, serving as a visual testament to a life spent in deep mindfulness. In direct alignment with the journal’s theme, 'Presence,' the piece visualizes how a great master's spiritual legacy, teachings, and serene energy do not fade with departure; rather, they continue to endure, occupy space, and be deeply felt across time and generations. The portrait acts as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, capturing a fleeting human expression and transforming it into an eternal state of being. The technical execution relies on disciplined watercolor layering, a patient process where transparent washes are built up gradually to create luminous skin tones and precise tonal control. This demanding method allows for both subtle gradations and sharp structural definitions, mimicking the complex textures of aging while maintaining the fluid, organic quality of the watercolor medium. Ultimately, this artwork aims to transform a personal journey of spiritual reverence into a universal visual narrative. By presenting the master's serene countenance to a global audience, the piece transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, offering a quiet sanctuary of peace, a reflection on the beauty of aging, and an inspiring testament to human resilience. It invites viewers to pause, connect with the silent energy of the subject, and experience a shared moment of universal spiritual peace. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/in-her-own-light monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2e5668bb-71ec-40ee-9d91-b41759aa7853/IMG_0310.jpg SUMMER 2026 - In Her Own Light - Make it stand out “I paint to evoke the feeling of standing at the edge of something vast. In this work the figure becomes both human and ocean, rendered in a saturated palette that blurs boundaries. The turquoise and gold tones whisper of waves and sunlight; the hair spills down like a cascade of seaweed. By giving the skin an aquatic blue hue, I want to suggest that we are more water than flesh, that memory itself can be fluid. The surfboard is not merely a prop but an extension of the body, part sail, part shield carrying dreams toward a horizon that always recedes. My process begins with drawing; I sketch digitally, using bold outlines and flat planes of color to distill emotion into simple shapes. Pop art’s graphic language and the kinetic energy of surf culture inform my choices, but so does the quiet of watching light shift across the ocean. Each line is laid down like a wave cresting; the bright fields of color are meant to radiate warmth. Working in this stylised manner allows me to tell a story that is both personal and universal about longing, movement, and transformation. More than a literal scene, this painting is a meditative ode to resilience and joy. Surfing, to me, is a metaphor for living: you surrender to forces beyond your control while discovering your own balance within them. I want viewers to feel the salt on their lips, the wind in their hair, and the promise that the world is wider than it seems. Even if you have never stood on a board, perhaps you have stood at the edge of possibility and felt the pull of something bigger than yourself. That sense of expansion is what I hope to share here.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/purple-still-life monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6c94516e-8ed4-452a-93c6-df1b1c7029fc/IMG_6809+%281%29.png SUMMER 2026 - Purple Still Life - Make it stand out “I am an artist, designer and illustrator who lives in Kandy, Sri Lanka, the world centre of Buddhism. My artworks are inspired by Sri Lankan nature and culture, as well as myths and fantasy stories. To me, Sri Lanka is like another planet! In 2016, the year I moved to Sri Lanka, I graduated from an art and design school that continues and develops the traditions of Avant-Garde art movement founded by the famous Soviet artist Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935).

It’s a celebration of that defiant spirit to be strange without explanation or justification. I admire Julia’s stance, their head held high, creating a bold image of themself not easily ignored or consumed. It’s weird and labor-intensive to do all that googly eye placement, but it’s a good weird. Drawing that image was similar: certainly labor intensive, and maybe an odd choice, but good for me. I’ve always admired Julia’s boldness, it’s a bravery I occasionally muster when making art. Clover is my oldest child. In ‘Clover in Chair’ she sits in her spike-studded jean jacket, Doc Martin boots, and bleach blonde hair, pointedly ignoring me as I take her picture. As I painted the scene, I could almost feel the stiff, smooth leather of the chair, hear the upholstery creak and grumble as Clover settles herself in its seat. I love that the realistic painting style creates that strong visceral experience of the depicted space. I’m also delighted by the swooping internal motion of the composition. The semicircular lines in the arms of the chair are echoed in the curves of her legs, the soles of her boots, and the oval of her terrific hair. The composition practically juggles your eyes in loops around the canvas. I wonder how this seated vignette can exhibit such a feeling of calm while containing so much movement. Much like the bristling emotional storm within the painting’s beloved and solemn teenage subject.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/unit-for-y-axis-4 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/17a4ac28-8028-4e4d-b6dd-19166d4f0354/Lotus04.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Unit for Y-axis 4 - Make it stand out “Since the Middle Ages, the sense of ambiguity, transience, and the quality of being like an illusion or uncertain has been called "yugen" and has been highly valued as a form of beauty in Japan. I have been incorporated this sense of Japanese aesthetics into my minimalist art. In painting, sculpture, installation, and photography, I am trying to capture the fleeting beauty that exists at the boundaries between the world that industrial civilization has torn apart, or beauty of the things that lurk and hide on the border between people's conscious and unconscious minds.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/whos-the-alien monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ea7c9969-548a-46e0-aa8c-cd7d514d8e18/WhostheAliencopy2.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Who's the Alien? - Make it stand out “Esoteric sigils and symbolism of ancient cultures, sacred geometry, arcane, and al khemical elements have been integral in my work since the early '80s. As an adult my research expanded searching for commonalities between cultures, belief systems, signs, sigils and symbols, and finding a way to incorporate those elements into the work. A significant aspect of the work involves 'found' imagery, or maybe imagery that 'finds' me. I can hear urban tableaus. I can be driving down the street and something reaches out, taps on my brain guiding to a conversation between materials.' Between 'real life' 'found' imagery, digitally-constructed surrealistic tableaus, and 3D assemblages, the works blend photographic sources from my imajBanq extracting slices from their original context similar to the 'Tumbler' painters who used wood veneers cut on the bias to create their paintings.

Revisiting female roles in contemporary society, my work begs the question of how feminine power shapes the commonwealth and how that power has changed throughout the years. Myth and symbolism are used to humanize the personal experiences that reflect larger societal developments. My characters move beyond a supporting role, addressing the viewer with their gaze and commanding autonomy.

My work blends structured design principles with the freedom of digital and experimental techniques. Influenced by contemporary culture, urban landscapes, and personal experience, I use vibrant colors and layered compositions to bridge the gap between art and design. As a Taiwanese artist based in New York, I’m drawn to the tension between tradition and modernity, East and West.

In this work, I use the poem as a source of visual components - the human body and the sea - and seek to expand upon its interpretation by linking concepts of ecological dissonance with the current state of climate change. In the photographs, scenes of crashing waves are intercepted with human hands and arms in positions that embody the water, embrace the ocean, or become engulfed by it. The prints were created from digital collages, transferred to a film negative, and traditionally printed on silver gelatin paper. By using a hybrid method of analogue imagery and digital technology, I was able to work nearly limitless in scale.

I start with a few marks and torn paper from an old magazine, placed arbitrarily on the canvas. Once it is glued down, it forces me to respond. From there I build layers of paint and collage around it, then work against what I’ve made. I scrape, wash, repaint, and cut back into the surface with a scalpel, digging through the layers to expose what has been buried. Earlier decisions remain visible; the surface carries its own history. I often return to flowers and the human figure because they are immediate. A body is something we recognize before we understand it. A flower is just as direct, holding beauty and fragility at once. When I cut into the surface, the marks begin to read as experience rather than decoration. The figure bears the damage; the flower quietly holds it. The imagery grows out of personal history, addiction, strained relationships, and the weight of what goes unspoken. I am not trying to illustrate events directly. I am trying to surface the residue they leave behind. What remains on the canvas is not resolution, but evidence of survival.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/emoting-opulence monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/27cfacd7-3e62-40c1-88ac-d6f318280856/Clubbing-images-2024---thesis.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Emoting Opulence - Make it stand out “Fashion is more than something we assert monetary value to or wear, it is a way of expressing, identifying, and representing through having a bold reality. Matthew Cook’s art explores the aesthetics of his environment through showing the political “eleganza” of Saint Louis, Missouri. Conceptualizing race, gender, sexuality, and body image, the assumptions of these topics are the core of his work. Manipulating materials through intense draping, complex patternmaking, and quality construction balance the eclectic and vibrant choices of materially. This provides a jarring juxtaposition where the aesthetics collide with power shown through unity in an everyday fantasy.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/big-sky-is-falling monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b0e0237a-ba3f-47ce-ac15-4d5e1f2c7856/bigskyreal-1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Big Sky is Falling - Make it stand out “My work primarily revolves around themes of environment and time. These are inspiring, as they represent an objective external world or principle that surrounds each of us, yet there is a relationship that each individual has with environment and time that is entirely subjective. The interconnectedness of ourselves and the things external to ourselves is vitally important to how we perceive and act out our lives. It is difficult to recognize the impact these themes have on my daily life and the impact that I have on them in turn. I seek to understand the functions of environment and time and our place and part in them. Mediums of indexicality, the phenomenon of a sign pointing to (or indexing) some object in the context in which it occurs, are important in this understanding. Photography is one such medium that indexes light, which is an actual measurement of time, and the environment that it captures representationally.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/needle-work monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b3432e0f-cb37-4eae-a355-1cbe9942099f/Sortor-Needle-Work-2014.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Needle Work - Make it stand out “In my work, I explore the way and which cumulative learning and labor can form abstract compositions. In Needle Work, this examination of labor is multifaceted. While I originally conceived of this work without a specific theme in mind, elements of the American empire began to emerge organically during the creative process. The repeated application and removal of media, paired with the incorporation of old New York Times newspaper, reflects the cyclical nature of labor and the impermanence of power structures. The whitewashed section of the canvas, resembling a tattered American flag, inadvertently symbolizes the crumbling of the empire. The work's emphasis on ongoing labor through the use of thread and a needle evokes the constant effort required to maintain an extractive and destructive system. In this piece, a visual commentary on the contemporary political and climate landscape organically emerged, highlighting the interconnectedness of individual actions and societal structures.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/dame-maxwell-scott-and-her-sister-in-the-orangerie monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/82ee0eed-8d97-4a6b-adc9-6747594e67bb/dame-maxwell-scott.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Dame Maxwell Scott and her sister in the Orangerie - Make it stand out “This painting is a homage to an era gone by — a gentler world of orchard visits, wide-brimmed hats, and unhurried afternoons.

A sense of belonging, independent of geographical constructs, can only be experienced by being in nature and feeling a connection to its essence or symbolism, its visual characteristics, and natural materials. Material and place are interchangeable in my process, and they constitute an index, or trace of time and place. The gradual process of making a print is like the process by which we build our memories. ‘Path #6’ is a monotype that belongs to an ongoing series investigating how human movement shapes the landscape.

It incorporates my background studying and working in urban environments and for social justice. I started to explore connections between abstract ideas, art making processes and visual language. I was stymied by the limitations of my most familiar mediums of paint, collage and encaustic. Instead, I found that the layering and stitching of fabric was far more effective at communicating these complex ideas visually. Opaque fabric, transparent silk, thread variations, and machine and hand stitching worked well to represent and map the layered complexity of urban development, which I then augmented with paint and printmaking. I started with works about our government’s racist use of redlining in places where I had lived. With a foundation of personal connection to the cities, and throughout my slow and tactile artistic process, I was able to consider deeply the profound effects of redlining on a block-by-block basis. The resulting pieces reflect how this process, which began in the 1930’s, resulted in isolating and impoverishing minority communities. Ideas about race, class, entitlement, and privilege that many of us no longer believe, have shaped our built environment in ways that continue to influence the distribution of wealth and opportunities in our society.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-dual monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2f3becda-7fb4-4762-af5b-e6353cfa6fc7/MeredithBobb_The-Dual_acrylic-on-canvas_16x20.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Dual - Make it stand out “Every day the world grows more complex and we are in a constant rush to move faster, be more efficient and obtain more. We are presented with AI being used as a tool to create, however, it is in the human made mistakes and accidents of the creative process that leads to opportunity. Vulnerability is needed within the art making process. My goal is to bridge what is familiar with what is abstracted and yet give the viewer a place to connect on a personal level. My focus is on elements of emotion, tension and connection. It seems especially important to recognize that we are part of a “Collective,” all of us connected during this time of history. Artwork can serve as the reminder of who we are as people with more similarities than not. The paintings are created intentionally with no pre-planning so that I can capture where I am in that moment. I like to balance elements of drawing and painting in each piece. People are portrayed as bone-inspired sculptural faces and forms in unknown environments of movement. The process is organic and by rotating the canvas and layering colors, new visual opportunities are made. I use a combination of acrylic paint markers on top of thin washes of color to develop the flow in the work. I purposefully leave echoes of previous layers to show progression, something AI cannot learn. The creative process is a human process, which we need more of at this time. The balance of being both abstract and relatable is important to me to inspire dialogue with others. My goal is to connect with the viewer on an emotional and thoughtful level in the quiet space where we sit with ourselves.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/light-7 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d38c8d7f-b253-4cf9-ba74-d5e594af4ef2/Light-7.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Light #7 - Make it stand out “Because I was originally trained in painting and drawing my photography practice is fed by the little observations of the world around me honed from years of smearing graphite and layering paints. I try to capture the minute details of my environment, a practice I have developed due to my impermanent lifestyle as someone untied to one specific place in their early twenties. I believe that any image, when taken through the right angle, can serve as a portrait whether the subject is human or not. That is the case for this photograph, a intimate glimpse of my current home in the southwestern United States, captured through my eyes.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/stairs-in-my-brooklyn-apartment-series monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/450f7c44-c992-465d-aaf0-54f08fd580b9/PJAS-Submission-2_Du_Minglu.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Stairs in My Brooklyn Apartment (Series) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1328821e-0290-4ac9-9161-ddd75ec96d67/PJAS-Submission-3_Du_Minglu.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Stairs in My Brooklyn Apartment (Series) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8c7e3bd3-4f5a-4a94-b235-0343df033682/PJAS-Submission-1_Du_Minglu.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Stairs in My Brooklyn Apartment (Series) - Make it stand out Minglu Du (b. 1998, Guiyang, China) is a queer interdisciplinary artist based between Providence, USA and Shanghai, China. Her practice spans illustration, animation, games, and interactive installation. Combining literature, sound, and real-time media, she creates immersive narrative environments that move between personal experience and speculative temporalities. Her work often transforms human figures into metaphorical forms or surreal creatures, or adopts non-human-centered perspectives. Through dense, twisted forms and sharp visual contrasts, she explores ambiguity, transformation, and the lived experiences of marginalized communities. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/seasons-of-life monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0773c581-4bba-453d-ae28-c7cae9ca5535/Seasons.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Seasons of Life - Make it stand out For Jacqui, art is both a calling and a sanctuary - a way to connect with the beauty and wonder woven into the fabric of creation, and a place to find solace & purpose. Her journey as a self-taught artist has been shaped by a fascination for the Old Masters, the Pre-Raphaelites, and the teachings of American artist Mark Carder, whose approach to Classical Realism continues to challenge and inspire her. Jacqui specialises in large oil paintings on Belgian linen. Her subjects have ranged from vibrant native birds, to portraiture & currently she is crafting lush floral roses. The interplay between light & shadow, texture & form allows her to create bespoke pieces that are thoughtful, elegant and charming. Jacqui’s pieces offer her viewers a moment of stillness and wonder, encouraging them to notice the beauty woven into everyday life. Through each brushstroke and painted detail, she aims to celebrate creation and steward her God-given gifts with joy and gratefulness. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/m16-23 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8ffab598-a301-43cf-8dfe-b4944f09e7c9/r-james-healy-M16-23-animation-sequence.jpg SUMMER 2026 - M16-23 - Make it stand out “My practice explores perception. I am interested in how we see, interpret, and assign meaning to the world around us. I began my career in animation. Despite advances in technology, the underlying principles remain unchanged. A sequence of images is presented in rapid succession. The viewer perceives motion, but there is none. It is a quirk of perception. Such phenomena permeate every aspect of our world, from our senses to our society. The themes of my work are intangible: symbolism, coincidence, and memory. I make images and objects to give these concepts presence. The artworks typically include sequential, kinetic, and algorithmic elements. They are time-based and function as experiences. My process combines digital fabrication with traditional craftsmanship. Digital tools extend my limits through non-linear workflows, precision, and time. Craftsmanship connects me to the work. The process of refinement imbues it with care, creating a presence that is sensed by the viewer.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-creation-of-the-self-v monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7b64366f-e941-4086-a659-61f1e0597223/The-Creation-of-the-Self-V.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Creation of the Self V - Make it stand out In "The Creation of the Self V", Ahmad Khoshniat reflects on the fragile moment of encountering the self through the relationship between light and shadow. A hand reaches toward its own projected image, suggesting an attempt to connect with a reflection that is both familiar and intangible. The distance between the hand and the shadow becomes a space of tension, recognition, and uncertainty, where the act of reaching transforms into a meditation on identity and perception. The gesture subtly recalls Michelangelo’s "The Creation of Adam", yet the encounter here occurs not between divine and human figures, but between a body and its own projection. The shadow functions as a symbolic double — an image shaped by light that resembles the self while remaining unreachable. Rather than presenting the shadow as absence alone, the work treats it as an extension of inner presence, memory, and psychological reflection. Through the contrast of illumination and darkness, the photograph meditates on self-discovery, perception, and the unstable boundary between presence and absence. The suspended instant before contact becomes central to the work, emphasizing the emotional and philosophical distance that can exist between the self and its reflected image. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/heartthrob monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8f3cd2a6-ba93-485e-9e8e-80f3015f5bfb/heartthrob.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Heartthrob - Make it stand out “My recent series focuses on female bodybuilders from the 1980s, women who embody both defiance and discipline within the rigid expectations of femininity. Through watercolor, I slow down the act of looking, allowing the medium’s transparency and vulnerability to counter the hyper-controlled bodies it depicts. These figures become sites of negotiation—between beauty and power, desire and agency, control and collapse. Repeating disruptions appear across the surfaces like digital glitches, small ruptures that interrupt idealization and mirror the fractures within cultural constructions of gender. I apply an intimate scale in order to resist the monumental treatment often given to subjects of power, instead inviting a quieter, more personal encounter that mirrors my refusal to conform to traditional hierarchies of representation. In revisiting these images, I’m interested in renewing the purpose of portraiture in the twenty-first century: to reflect not only likeness, but the unstable systems of representation that shape how we see bodies, and how we are seen in return.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/whispers-beneath-the-pale-canopy monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ee706a48-b00e-45f6-8934-6e9c33cdedb5/IMG_7438.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Whispers Beneath the Pale Canopy - Make it stand out Whispers Beneath the Pale Canopy captures the quiet dialogue between shadow and light, where bare branches stretch through a veil of mist like forgotten memories.

Nothing here is fixed. The forest will outlast the deer, but even the forest is only temporarily still. What we call "presence" may only ever be a moment, held together by attention, gone when we look away.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/stone-witness monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/00c01195-ed2c-43ed-871b-c2f284694334/Stone-Witness.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Stone Witness - Make it stand out “Stone Witness emerges from a fascination with the inner life of landscape — the sense that rock, water, and sediment hold a kind of quiet awareness. Working in layers of blue, gold, and grey, I found myself drawn into the geology of the image, each mark accumulating like strata over time. Presence here is not immediate.

The work speaks to the mysteries written into our shared consciousness—the impossible shapes of feeling that appear and disappear between what we know and what we can never fully grasp. It is an invitation to linger in the unknown, to feel the warmth and the cold, and to recognize that every intersection, no matter how fleeting or unresolved, carries within it a fragment of the universal and the deeply personal. The moment passes. The gaze remains. Where every encounter contains, within it, its own quiet farewell. Where to be seen, even briefly, even imperfectly, is its own form of grace.

It forgoes representation of any object or experience, preferring to point to manifestation of "Presence" with the Artist, as transmitting Vessel be it forlorn or fortunate, enters into a meditative experience and state, whereby the painting functions as a reflecting mirror of this "Presence". This allows the Viewer to enter and experience a meditative condition parallel to the experience that the Artist manifested while discovering the painting. It opens the door to infinite possibilities experientially. Every painting is a fresh and new entry to this unique State of Being and not repeatable as 'IT' is 'discovered' within the emerging Painting-Viewer-Artistmaker relationship and incapable of imitation even by the Artist himself: a true work of the Imagination beyond usual projected visual, or social fantasy.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/up-up-up monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/dd13db5f-a14f-43ca-b31b-144d39adc335/Lee_04_01_UpUpUp.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Up Up Up - Make it stand out Lane Lee is an artist whose work explores ideas of cultural and bodily memory. Her art focuses on disability and the human body. Due to her family’s exposure to famine in North Korea and war, she—like many others—developed a severe seizure disorder. Despite this, she uses painting as a way to stabilize her brain pre- and post-seizure through the unique side effects impacting her physical, neurological abilities to process color, motion, and space. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/coral-form-26-stoneware-amp-glaze monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2d8f5a79-5b95-421f-bc7d-a46b33bede4a/MPetruzzelli_Coral_Form_No.26.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Coral Form #26, Stoneware & Glaze - Make it stand out Marissa Petruzzelli is a ceramic artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, originally from Connecticut. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Institute of Art & Design at New England College and a Master of Science in Museum Leadership from Drexel University. Her sculptural work investigates abstracted landscapes through clay, using hand-building and layered glaze application to develop form and surface. She shifts away from idealized representations often associated with domestic or regional decor, instead drawing from personal experiences of environment and place to construct forms that exist between observation and abstraction. Her methods are rooted in hand-building techniques, including thick slabs and pinched forms, allowing her to build surfaces with folds, edges, and openings that create visual depth and variation. She responds to how the material moves, settles, and fractures, allowing the clay to guide the development of each form. Through this process, Petruzzelli examines how home and environment shape identity. Using color, line, and texture, she constructs surreal forms that feel recognizable but not literal, often existing between interior and exterior spaces. Her glazing practice expands upon this investigation, layering multiple glazes that interact, pool, and shift during firing. She challenges fixed or romanticized notions of landscape through abstraction and distortion, reflecting the fluid and subjective nature of memory and place. Influenced by abstract expressionism, funk art, and surrealism, Petruzzelli embraces organic movement, distortion, and color. Growing up on the shoreline of Connecticut and now living in the high desert of New Mexico has shaped her understanding of landscape as both physical and psychological space, informing her ongoing investigation into how contrasting environments can coexist within sculptural form. Ultimately, her work invites viewers to consider their own sense of place, perception, and memory, forming personal and shifting connections through abstracted form. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/golden-hour monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d13616a7-251a-4c81-b285-7888d6755ed6/IMG_7329.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Golden Hour - Make it stand out The artist creates abstract paintings that are driven more by intuition and feeling than by a strict plan. Each piece usually starts with a loose idea—sometimes it’s a color combination, other times it’s simply a mood or feeling—and then grows naturally from there. Through layering, scraping back, covering, and revealing, the work develops in an organic way. Part of what interests her most is allowing the painting to hold onto its own history, where earlier marks, textures, and decisions can still be felt beneath the surface. Having lived in Florida, the Adirondacks, and now the Hudson Valley, landscape has become an important influence on her work. The tropical light and saturated colors of Florida, the forests and seasonal changes of the Adirondacks, and the softer, atmospheric landscape of the Hudson Valley continue to shape her sense of color, texture, and movement. The changing light, weather, and trees outside her studio window often guide the direction of a painting without her fully realizing it at first. Some paintings move toward bold, energetic combinations with reds, yellows, and darker tones, while others become softer and quieter, built around muted greens, blues, grays, and warm neutrals. No matter the palette, there is always an effort to find a balance between something emotional and expressive while still feeling calm and visually resolved. Rather than telling viewers exactly what to see, she wants the work to feel open and personal, allowing each person to connect with it in their own way and discover something different over time. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pandemonium-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/28fd9e22-89c6-4dfb-84a5-8909d27ca87f/1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pandemonium #1 - Make it stand out “In chaotic times, we are barraged daily with images and stories of the collapse of civility. Classrooms erupt, markets plummet, cities collapse, corruption prevails and democracy is in peril. In these images, illumination is both about light and terror, as hope ebbs and flows.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-anatomy-of-a-hybrid-presence monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c7432d10-c8f7-4648-89d3-3e89d3bd0fe1/IMG_6610+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Anatomy of a Hybrid Presence - Make it stand out “The Anatomy of a Hybrid Presence” explores presence as a layered, dynamic construct shaped by memory, culture, and mediated experience. The central figure is not presented as whole, but as a composite—fragmented, obscured, and reassembled through a convergence of organic and artificial elements. A translucent sphere partially conceals the face, acting as both a protective surface and a distortion, suggesting the tension between inner subjectivity and external perception. The work proposes an “anatomy” not of the physical body, but of presence itself. Marine elements—fish and jellyfish—drift across the composition, symbolizing fluidity, emotional depth, and constant transformation. These forms contrast with mechanical and historical references, including chrome objects, a vintage car, and classical busts, which introduce notions of permanence, memory, and constructed ideals. Their coexistence is not seamless; instead, it generates friction, reflecting the complexity of contemporary identity as something continuously negotiated rather than resolved. A butterfly near the eye introduces a quieter symbolic layer, evoking metamorphosis and the act of seeing as a transformative process. The saturated pink background situates the figure within a hyperreal, psychological space—one that feels both intimate and synthetic. Within this constructed hybrid environment, presence becomes an evolving interconnection of fragments. The work ultimately invites viewers to engage with hybridity not as contradiction, but as a condition of presence—layered, fluid, evolving, and continuously in formation. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/latif monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d8d9edb7-b716-424a-a87b-6f9e56c28661/Fitzgerald_Latif_20diam_2025.png SUMMER 2026 - Latif - Make it stand out “The relationship of matter and spirit is at the heart of my work. The physicality of the earth is tangible and real. Another dimension is indelibly linked to that materiality, one that is experienced though it cannot be measured or delineated. That elusive relationship between matter and spirit has been explored extensively in verbal form—poetry, philosophy, metaphysics—and those texts are essential touchstones in my work. Finding forms to translate that awareness into visual language is an essential commitment in my work. Latif is an evocation of something fine, delicate, tender; may it suggest the lightness, delicacy and transcendence of matter. The ephemeral can be something with great strength. I use fluid media—watercolor, thinned oil paint, mica. These layered surfaces are luminous and subtle. This way of working demands that I step back from my intentionality and trust the process, giving voice to the materials I am using. I incorporate gilding with precious metals as a way of adding to the “other worldly” quality I am seeking.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/elena monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/acef2c29-8a41-4fbb-bb67-3e7477d66475/IMG_4954A.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Elena - Make it stand out “Some points about me and my work from the Bodyscapes series: 1.

My favorite art school course was Color taught by a student of Josef Albers. 4. Skies filled with moving clouds move me. 5. I'm crazy about stripes because they define form. 6. “Bodyscapes” keeps developing as my visual interests evolve. 7.

But then I graduated, started my career in graphic design, and didn’t pick up another squeegee for 42 years. Upon retiring, I decided to pickup my squeegee again to see if I still felt that passion. The process was just as amazing as I remembered. And, unlike everything else between then and now, very little about it had changed. What most excites me about screen printing is its visual impact. My art tends to be graphic, in both style and message. And political. During my college years Ronald Reagan was president. I was not a fan, and it felt powerful to express my opinions. Our current political climate makes the Reagan years seem rather charming, and I feel an even a greater need to express my frustration. So, while I'm daily shocked at what our country has become, driven by a narcissistic racist wannabe dictator, my art allows me to maintain just the tiniest bit of sanity. For that I am grateful.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/reflections-of-a-raw-beauty monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2fbd76ef-f97b-4482-b688-ffc42691f638/Reflections-of-a-raw-beauty2023mixedmedia40by30cm-Khimji_Mixedmedia.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Reflections of a Raw Beauty - Make it stand out “Art has allowed me to dip my brush into my soul and paint away my fantasies.

The images reconstruct a duration rather than depicting a single limited moment, and investigate localized histories of mediated public space. This process results in a wide tonal range and a distinct surreality, but more critically, lends itself to intimacy with place, and absorbs the occasionally fractious nature of embedding oneself in the fabric of public space—which can lead to a variety of interactions as people may perceive and move in front of the lens. The surreal rendering, appearing simultaneously authentic and yet unreal, raises instinctive questions about the veracity of the scene, and this ambiguity toys with the trust the viewer places in the images as a photographic record and emphasizes their subjectivity. As presented, the final scenes reconstruct time nonlinearly, creating new narratives.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/dancing-in-the-boiler-room monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/afdd4f7a-0362-4cf9-af82-bf6ea03d5572/IMG_4272.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Dancing in the Boiler Room - Make it stand out “My piece, Dancing in the Boiler Room, is a watercolor painting done of my very own boiler. Although it was not the initial intention of the piece while I was painting it, I now find it to capture a youthful feeling, something nostalgic and unique to my childhood home. At the time of creating the piece, I was simply enjoying a quirky perspective and vivid colors in the place of what is usually industrial and dark with grime. Presently, I look at it with the fondness of an old memory. The colors were picked in an effort to capture the feeling of sunset in my boiler room. The windows of the room are flush to the ceiling, only allowing bright light in for a small period of every afternoon.

As a queer woman who has given birth, she connects to topics of otherness, desire, femininity, and disability through her body. Using her body as a plate to create monoprints, Lizzy illustrates the iterative, repetitive ways we process phenomena, from the remarkable to the everyday. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/centric monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/270862e0-0b95-4085-acf9-ecc628cd9aac/d4332703-36b6-485b-8e55-13bdecf1f9a4-1_all_18894.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Centric - Make it stand out “As a multidisciplinary artist of color with a practice that focuses on health and well-being my projects are a intergrated mix of sustainable found object, assemblage, new media, installation art and design with an integrative spirituality orientation that delineates an array of spiritual practices , psychology and contemplative education allowing me to create artworks that become physical expressions of a spiritual aesthetic.

Dismantling by cutting and shredding, then reimagining via folding, hand spinning, quilling, weaving, and collage, disrupts the papers’ original authority and treats them not as neutral substrate but as records of human intention and value. Working primarily with National Park Service maps and brochures—used to categorize, manage, and navigate nature—I challenge the perception of public lands and landmarks as neatly outlined resources to be consumed, while simultaneously reflecting their vulnerability at human hands. My meticulous, labor-intensive process is for me an act of mending, affirming that stewardship requires time and care. As a quiet form of advocacy, it emphasizes the need to slow down to think more critically about how we interact with the world around us.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/give-me-my-flowers monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d5cfdc10-2519-4a7e-bc13-cc56e47f0678/Untitled_Artwork-8.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Give Me My Flowers - Make it stand out “I am an artist based in Delaware by way of Philadelphia, creating work that blends traditional oil painting with digital techniques. My artistic voice is shaped by the raw, vibrant energy of Philadelphia and the quieter, more reflective atmosphere of Delaware, allowing me to move between intensity and subtlety in my work. In oil, I focus on texture, depth, and the discipline of classical methods, while my digital pieces give me the freedom to experiment and expand beyond physical limitations. My work explores themes of identity, emotion, and change, often capturing moments that feel both grounded and evolving.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/hybridscape monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e30942a8-c117-42d2-a8f8-9f13c9fd2057/Hybridscape7mb.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Hybridscape - Make it stand out “The Architecture of Contrast My practice, rooted in an MFA in digital photography and sculpture (2011), investigates the contemporary American psyche through a rigorous study of tonal architecture. For Shadows and Light, I present hybrid compositions that treat illumination and obscurity as a disciplined visual language. In works like Hybridscape, I orchestrate depth by layering tactile paintings over the precision of digital photography. Here, "light" represents the physical structure of our environment, while "shadow" functions as a conceptual inquiry into 21st-century stress. By merging these media, I create a quiet tension where brightness and darkness coexist in a measured, atmospheric balance.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/italy monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/71a22e9b-35b5-461e-88cc-2292bb15262c/Italien.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Italy - Make it stand out “The painting ‘Italy’ belongs to my series ‘Politics’, which depicts politicians fighting in their parliaments across different countries. I use oil on canvas to create a romantic contrast to scenes of legislative violence. I was drawn to these images because they show elected officials, whose role is to debate, becoming so frustrated that their voices are no longer enough and conflict turns physical. The work reflects the fragility of our democracies and the violence, fear, and frustration that shape political life today. As a political artist, my work focuses on the human experience within the power systems of our time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/last-dance monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c83fb774-3940-47e5-8479-89ef993873b7/Tomasello_LastDance_2017_FullView.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Last Dance - Make it stand out “I am an American, multi-media artist. My collage work fuses personal experiences as an LGTBQ+, gender-fluid person with narratives from the literature, music, film, art, and other expressions of culture I absorbed as a young person during the 1980's and 1990's. My diptych collage, "Last Dance" depicts a boy who has snuck away from his home in the middle of the night with his dog. Together, they venture into the dark and beautiful Southern California desert. The boy, wearing pajamas and his mother's high-heeled slides, climbs onto a rock and begins to sing Donna Summer's disco hit, "Last Dance". Magically, the desert moon is changed into a shimmering disco ball, wild horses become colorful unicorns, and the animals of the desert gather to become an audience for the boy who is transformed into a beloved pop star. My collage is inspired by an iconic scene from the 1978 film, "Thank God It’s Friday". In the film, Donna Summer, playing aspiring singer Nicole Sims, becomes an instant star after performing her song, “Last Dance” under a shimmering disco ball and surrounded by beautiful people. As a little boy, I secretly performed this scene many times (wearing my mother’s high-heeled slides and with my dog as the audience) while dreaming of transformation and unconditional love and acceptance.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/artistic-fabrication monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e0a38738-8c8d-4d5f-9e5e-075d9e80fd1b/Artistic-Fabrication.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Artistic Fabrication - Make it stand out “I create vibrant, abstract collages on canvas using bold color and layered materials — acrylics, watercolor, ink, textiles, specialty papers, cardboard, and found objects. Colors move across the surface to guide the viewer through a landscape of shape, shades and sometimes a little chaos surrounded by form, or is it form surrounded by chaos? My work guides the eye across dynamic layers of form and feeling. Each piece is a tactile journey inviting the viewer to explore texture and movement, blending my intuition and transformation to challenge the viewer’s imagination. I want to have a visual dialogue with you, the observer, so that you do not just see, but experience. To answer, “what do you see?” Part of my inspiration is taking photographs of the world around me. I am fascinated by tree trunks, old bricks, tree branches, peeling paint, and just ordinary objects that go unnoticed These materials inspire with their shapes, colors, and patterns as well as the randomness that invites the eye to wonder — and wander. I am also inspired by accomplished artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jackson Pollack, Anselm Kiefer and Gustav Klimt.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/anomaly-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/353dd5da-88a1-4e36-b18b-5d071a3713f2/ANOMALY-01.jpg SUMMER 2026 - ANOMALY #1 - Make it stand out “My anaphylactic allergies have engrained an anxious need for escape and a constant search for safety. I live in a perpetual state of fight or flight, there is no pause for me as any mundane dish at a restaurant, picnic, or even dinner party could conceal an unfortunate demise. This tension appears in my work as movie scenes - the quiet moments before a jump scare, the music swelling before a monster pounces on their next victim, the shadow of a someone or something creeping into frame. My engrained anxiety is unique to my disability, whereas film is a universal language. I use film as a means of translation, and as mentioned before, I often pull from established film tropes so that an audience is already prepared for some sort of suspense. As a subversion from the expected interventions however, I replace what is predictable with my own “monsters.” In some work that might look like a giant inescapable dinner party, for others its aliens constructed from distorted medical imagery or discarded food wrappers. To the average person these items are ordinary, but in my world, they become almost legendary dangers like Godzilla or the creature from the black lagoon. While I maintain a focus on photography and video, my work has now evolved into immersive installation work. In my latest projects I have been focusing on how to extend the boarders of my films into physical spaces, allowing viewers into my imagined landscapes with invisible dangers.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-weight-of-absence monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/24013845-678a-458c-97e0-63b2369a226f/Vanity-Project_Weight-of-Absence_2024_-03.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Weight of Absence - Make it stand out “The Weight of Absence converts a ten-by-twenty-foot wall into both medium and witness. Through systematic drilling, Vanity Project punctures the surface, transforming architecture into a field of impact. Beneath each incision, adhesive dust bags collect the displaced matter. What is typically lost is gathered, suspended, made legible. The wall no longer performs as a neutral boundary. It becomes a site where force is enacted and held in view. Set against the ongoing violence in Gaza, the work reflects on the lasting impact of Israeli government policies that enforce displacement, destruction, and denial. Palestinian lives fractured by conflict, rendered stateless, held in limbo, and denied recognition and basic human rights. The drilled scars etched into the wall evoke the relentlessness of this violence, inflicted on both people and landscapes, turning the surface into an archive of destruction and a site of shared memory. The Weight of Absence rejects the illusion of erasure. What is removed through force, neglect, or denial does not disappear. It lingers, unresolved and inescapable, urging us to confront our collective responsibility for what is taken and what remains, shaping the spaces and histories we inhabit. This work is grounded in a deep respect for humanity and honors the historical struggles and resilience of Jewish people. The critique addresses the policies of the Israeli government that prioritize territorial expansion over the human rights of Palestinians and Israeli Bedouins. We emphasize and further underscore the crucial distinction between a nation's government and its citizens, while advocating for a just and equitable future for all.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/vessels-of-motherhood monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7690cbd0-e6cc-41c9-9c6c-f33eeba019db/Vessels-of-Motherhood.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Vessels of Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/moonlight-in-the-backlands monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/39e2c1d3-cb65-4210-94e5-ec1560df6cdc/M.GUIMARAESLIMA-MOONLIGHTINTHEBACKLANDS.png SUMMER 2026 - Moonlight in the Backlands - Make it stand out Marcelo Guimarães Lima is a visual artist and writer.

It explores the tension between presence and disappearance, memory and extinction. Light operates as a metaphor for consciousness - temporary and vulnerable, yet persistent until its final moment.

Struggles, fear, peace, love, disappointments, hope… Every life is a story, let me paint your life. Modern Soul Art integrates the Western impressionist art style and the modern line drawing method. It uses drawing instead of narrative, with abstract art skills, to render the emotions that people want to express. Soul Art is concerned widely when it just shows. Soul Artist Roxanne’s works have received special recognition in many International Art Exhibitions and auctions since 2012. “There are but two kinds of people in the world. If given a bunch of grapes, for example, one kind will eat the best ones first, while the other kind will leave the best for last. In principle, the first kind of person should be an optimist, since with each grape he eats he is eating the best of the remaining grapes, while the second kind should be a pessimist, since with each grape he eats he is eating the worst of the remaining grapes. But in actual fact, it's just the opposite, the reason being that the second kind of person still has hope while the first kind has only memories.” --- Fortress Besieged by Ch’ien Chung-Shu.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fiesta monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/15346da6-beda-4383-81d9-7c26dbadb19c/Fiesta.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fiesta - Make it stand out “My work is a result of two major influences; my love of all things color, and the works of Janet Fish. What I love about art is its rainbow of colors. I have all media—paints, pencils, pastels, and on and on—in all the colors they come in.

My artworks are inspired by Sri Lankan nature and culture, its myths and folk stories. To me, Sri Lanka is like another planet! I love depicting both real and imaginary creatures and fantasising. While using just my hands, in spontaneous polymer clay sculpting, I experience a profound sense of healing. In 2016, the year I moved to Sri Lanka, I graduated from an art and design school that continues and develops the traditions of Avant-Garde art movement founded by the famous Soviet artist Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935). Inspired by my art teachers, I developed my own individual style of acrylic painting, as well as a unique polymer clay painting technique.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/revelations-will-the-protector monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ebfce8d6-cdb8-41eb-bb1f-b953d280f107/Revelation%27s_Will+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Revelation's Will, The Protector - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d491b399-432a-4212-834d-843f9e0328ff/The_Protector.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Revelation's Will, The Protector - Make it stand out “I deconstruct my own ideas, then invite the viewer to reassemble them. I’ve always been drawn to fantasy, a genre that embodies my imagination, emotions, and the intangible you can’t discover in real life. While fantasy is often perceived as an escape from the real world, for me, it’s my tool to connect with it. It enables me to create work that is both deeply personal and intentionally ambiguous, transforming my inner thoughts into something that viewers can reshape through their own unique lens. I see my art as a doorway where my inner world meets the viewer’s. By capturing diverse subjects and themes, my goal is to create work that inspires people to explore different pieces of themselves within it, connecting an infinite number of experiences, emotions, and identities under a single illustration.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/a-kings-solitude monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ddb24f63-a934-4a87-ab06-a53bc78f2b65/IMG_2026_02_14_1626304480.jpg SUMMER 2026 - A King's Solitude - Make it stand out “I am a mixed media artist working primarily with digital art and photography. My practice explores themes of identity, emotional dependence, time, and self-perception, often addressing the quiet psychological patterns that shape how individuals relate to themselves and others. Through surrealist compositions and symbolic visual language, my work invites viewers into moments of introspection rather than resolution. My process blends digital manipulation with photographic elements to create contemplative visual narratives that sit between personal reflection and collective experience.

We all have encountered moments in our lives where we need to "take a chance" or "a leap of faith". But what does that really mean? Metaphorically I explore these concepts. Taking a chance requires humility, being "on our knees" and giving everything we have, despite the chaos that might surround us. When taking a chance, we need to have faith- there are many unknown things in the future, sometimes its like being suspended in the air, letting something new guide our hopes. Finally, less thrilling, are the seasons in-between taking chances, where our faith is tested.. the waiting season. To wait for things like the results of a medical test or decision of someone you love; it is not an easy season to endure. Often we go through it feeling blindfolded. I came to the conclusion that the heaviest part of Hope, is the 'wait'... and the lightest part of waiting? is Hope. Having something solid to rest on is crucial for getting through such difficult periods of time. In each piece our attention is pulled toward the light... within us, extending from us & guiding us.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/to-sophie-seasons-of-love monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/62eb6897-2a45-426a-aca0-4aef5f0d1561/IMG_1676.jpg SUMMER 2026 - To Sophie.

Dynamic textures created through an expressive impasto technique are characteristic of my work and amplify the sense of depth in each piece. Vivid color creates unique energy that draws the observer into the painted space. Use of palette knives opens up the possibility of accidental forms and marks. I respond to those results, letting them guide the painting. The process continues over several layers, resulting in images that evoke both movement and tranquility. Throughout my work, there is an appreciation for the transience of life, and concurrently, our boundless capacity for hope. Many describe my pieces as simultaneously vibrant and peaceful, a quality that stems from my deep faith in God and a three-year battle with leukemia as a teenager, which taught me to see the beauty in life regardless of circumstances. My work is inspired by nature, as I believe the splendor around us is one of the most amazing ways God touches us with His presence. I endeavor to create work that speaks to our shared human experience and have a deep interest in the connection between art and healing. A universal language, art reaches people across boundaries, offers alternative perspectives, inspiration, and provides a visual break from daily stressors. Art can connect communities and promote physical, emotional, and mental healing. Akin to my own experience with art's healing abilities, the goal of my work is to provide a visual resting place where viewers can escape, unload the burdens of their day, and be reminded of the joy, hope, and wonder all around us.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fluttering-colors-pop-art-still-life-2 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1e6f0da9-624a-4c29-95d5-4da6279e0a04/Fluttering-Colors---Pop-Art-Still-Life-2-copy+%281%29.png SUMMER 2026 - Fluttering Colors - Pop Art Still Life 2 - Make it stand out “In the sprawling vistas of Montana's Big Sky country, where the horizon kisses the untamed wilderness, my art finds its heartbeat. I'm Charlene, an abstract artist born and raised in Ottawa Ontario and now rooted in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains outside the quaint town of Columbus, Montana, where the majesty of nature and the legacy of architectural composition converge in my work. My journey in art is not just a path walked with brushes and paints; it is an expedition across the diverse landscapes of creativity and design. With a foundation in architecture, my work mirrors the structural harmony found in buildings, blended with the organic chaos and geometries of nature. This duality reflects in my abstract pieces, where precision meets passion, and form dances with color. My art is a dialogue between the seen and unseen, a visual representation of the energy and unity found in music. Each piece is an exploration, a journey through the wild terrains that cradle our home and encompass our dreams. The sweeping views of Montana, with their endless skies and rugged earth, are not just backdrops but active participants in my artistic process. They are the muse and the canvas, the color and the form. As I venture through this artistic odyssey, my goal is to reach out to hearts that resonate with the wild and the abstract. Through my gallery, I extend an invitation to explore a world where art and nature intertwine in a dance as ancient as time. My aspiration is not just to showcase my work but to connect with like-minded souls, those who find beauty in the abstract landscapes of both the earth and the mind.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/midnight-symphony monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2f0ce244-128d-45f4-a1b4-6ada100dd2f9/Mechem--Midnight-Symphony.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Midnight Symphony - Make it stand out “I reference natural systems, terrestrial records, and astronomical phenomena through media that offer high relief and textured surfaces. My Midnight Series was informed by the Nevada night sky—its vast darkness, quiet intensity, and rhythmic mystery above the desert landscapes. My artwork functions as an abstract record of energy, movement, and time rather than as representations of specific topography. My process is driven by surface construction, in which material accumulation and relief form the foundation of each composition. I build my compositions using art and construction materials on wood panels, allowing texture and relief to play a central role in the work. These materials enable me to construct dense, layered surfaces that extend beyond conventional painting and approach near-sculptural surfaces. My work seeks to evoke mystery and wonder, prompting reflection on both the scientific and spiritual aspects of nature and the cosmos.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/you-dont-know-me-dont-know-the-colors-that-have-left-my-world monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5988342d-9e20-4851-93fd-895415b028ca/IMG_9584.jpg SUMMER 2026 - You Don’t Know Me. Don’t Know the Colors that Have Left My World - Make it stand out “I am a ceramicist and sculptor. My artistic work reflects my life project, understanding the formation of identity in democracies and as conscious animals emergent from nature. My first career was as a social scientist; teaching, writing and researching liberal democracy as a context for shaping human beings. My second career as a ceramicist and sculpture continued that exploration of human identify. I trained as a sculptor and ceramicist at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. Professor Margie Hughto was my principle mentor. I began exhibiting my sculptural work in 2015. I have exhibited locally, regionally and nationally. Online internationally. My multi-figure sculptural installations examine identity, often thru the lens of miscegenation, “race mixing.” I employ chimeras, mixed species creatures, curious and beautiful or abominations, to engage the viewer. My installations and sculpture reflect the cultures and places I have explored during global travel. I live and work in Syracuse, NY. My work suggests that human identity is best explored by considering the relationship of humans to the natural world, each other and by engaging diverse cultural understandings of human nature.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/bogart-place monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/78016163-7499-4f4d-bd21-397b42829474/IMG_6274.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Bogart Place - Make it stand out “‘A City in Renewal’ is a photographic series exploring transformation through the lens of place. Centered on Scranton, Pennsylvania, the work captures a city stepping into its second act, where historic architecture grounds the streets. As both a photographer and architectural designer, I approach each image with a sensitivity to space, proportion, and light. My process is observational and intentional, documenting moments where historic structures are adapted for new purposes beyond their original use. I focus on this dialogue between permanence and change: how the architecture holds the memory of the past while supporting new life. This series considers renewal not as replacement, but as layering. Scranton’s history is not erased; it is carried forward and reinterpreted. The images invite viewers to see familiar urban fabric as living and adaptable and an active participant in the city’s becoming.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/bills-and-wills monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5b294dd6-1871-4888-b033-0d303395c42a/PJAS-Bills-and-Wills.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Bills and Wills - Make it stand out “My art is influenced by the population of Blacks who lived free amidst pre-Civil War bondage in the South. The first civil rights activists who challenged unjust laws. Although law makers denied the ending of an unfair capitation tax placed on free people of color, they stood up to the system in the courts. Ann Eady who lived on Wentworth St. in Charleston is grudgingly on her way to pay the dreadful tax along with a horse described in the will of her uncle.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-illusionist monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8a861166-4256-46b8-8e72-033d0e0041b1/The-Illusionist.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Illusionist - Make it stand out “My work examines identity as a layered and constructed terrain shaped by memory, cultural imagery, and lived experience. Through painting, collage, and photographic fragments, I build surfaces that are repeatedly cut, disrupted, and rebuilt. The process is physical and intuitive. Tearing, abrasion, and overpainting are not decorative gestures but structural decisions that mirror psychological negotiation. I am drawn to architectural space, domestic interiors, and the female figure as sites of tension between visibility and concealment. Fashion imagery, ornament, and symbolic forms enter the work as both seduction and critique. These materials carry cultural narratives that I destabilize through fragmentation and reassembly. Rather than presenting identity as cohesive, I treat it as sedimentary. Layers accumulate. Traces of previous states remain visible. The surface becomes a record of revision, where mistakes and misdirection shape the final image as much as intention. I am interested in the friction between the material and the spiritual, between constructed environments and interior life. My work does not seek resolution. Instead, it holds instability and resilience in the same field, allowing the image to exist in a state of becoming rather than conclusion.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/downy-woodpecker monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d66adf59-ddba-4eab-bb75-4e47409553fd/5x7_downy-woodpecker-copy.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Downy Woodpecker - Make it stand out “Over the past nine years, I have cultivated a unique visual language composed of shapes, colors, and patterns. This language serves as a tool to express the dynamic energy that I perceive within the landscapes and moments I photograph. Each image is thoughtfully composed to convey this energy and the intricate relationships present in nature. My work goes beyond the realm of visual representation. I explore how we engage with nature through all our senses—not only sight, but also sound, touch, and an awareness of its spiritual presence. This holistic perspective allows me to create images that invite viewers to sense the atmosphere and emotion of each scene, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/all-in monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7f124efa-ad2f-4f99-9334-21ea7b2b484f/BOND_Framed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - ALL IN - Make it stand out “I am a local Firefighter and graphic artist in Denver, Colorado. I primarily work in the space between graphic design and acrylic on canvas. After graduating Arizona State University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Digital Design, I began to sharpen my skills in computer design with a growing interest in surrealist painting and a life-long passion to become a municipal firefighter. I am currently 3 years into both of these endeavors and am loving every second. I have found that the contrast between the fast-paced adrenaline ride of running 911 calls and the calming, therapeutic qualities of painting are an incredible balance. As you will see, some of my life shines through into my art. I am very driven by the relationship between chaos and order, often bringing geometric and organic styles to the same piece, which usually includes a wild and enthusiastic background. This approach usually tends to give my art a paradoxical edge, especially with my aggressive use of warm and cool colors. I plan to continue growing my art business alongside my journey within the Fire Department, and continue to appreciate all the amazing and unique opportunities Colorado has to offer.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/horseback-stable monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/de7a2375-2d86-40d3-8220-5b8e89675d18/Horseback-Stable.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Horseback Stable - Make it stand out “I am a visual development and background artist who creates imaginative worlds rooted in story and emotion. My work explores the intersection of fantasy and everyday life, building environments and characters that invite viewers into richly layered narratives. I am inspired by color, culture, and the way visual storytelling can evoke mood, place, and memory. Through digital painting and thoughtful composition, I strive to bring scenes to life with depth and personality, whether in environments, props, or character moments. My artistic goal is to craft distinctive visual worlds that resonate emotionally, spark curiosity, and communicate meaningful stories that connect with diverse audiences.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/needles-for-fates monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b24684af-0af4-4f2b-bf76-4f8b484e2a84/AGlenn_Needles-for-Fates_2021.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Needles for Fates - Make it stand out Allyson Glenn is a visual artist based in Saskatoon, Canada. Her practice takes the form of painting, drawing, and animation. Fascinated by the topics of myth, allegory, the mind, and the environment, her artwork investigates complexities between fictional and experienced realities. In re-examining Greek myths, she explores the role of archetypes, in both storytelling and the creative and unconscious mind. Engaged in inquiry around the imagination, she creates artworks that examine aspects of the mind, constructed realities, speculative fiction, and collective transformation. By collaging, amalgamating and layering imagery, her paintings interrupt and de-contextualize the visual language of the original source. Scenes are made be allusive rather than literal to activate the to reconsider the expected. Hands for Fates, is part of a larger grouping which is a polyptych centered on the myth of Icarus. Loosely linking Icarus’s iconic journey to The Fates, the series explores hubris, death and transformation. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/vieja-mi-querida-vieja-dame-my-dear-dame monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/add5134b-d636-4b28-b4ca-1566479a4e01/2.Vieja-Mi-Querida-Vieja.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Vieja mi Querida Vieja / Dame, my dear Dame - Make it stand out Fdez’s artwork utilizes allegory, sarcasm, symbolism, and striking imagery to delve into themes of autobiography, cultural critique, religion, and socio-political discourse. Rather than adopting a definitive stance, Fdez seeks to provoke thought and inquiry about society, reflecting on the profound shifts in political and social rhetoric of the 21st century. By conceptualizing a dynamic record of human injustices and social disparities through printmaking and other mediums, he aims to evoke an emotional response from viewers, prompting them to engage with the complex realities he portrays. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/atonement monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/81c0b483-28f2-464a-957c-8bd46932efe5/IMG_1355.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Atonement - Make it stand out “I have always been a creative person at heart. Though my formal training was in science, much of my artistic development has been self‑taught, shaped by curiosity and a deep desire to explore materials and mark‑making. Born in Canada, I moved to Philadelphia to complete a residency in periodontics at Penn. My years as a dental surgeon sharpened my spatial awareness, sensitivity to line, and habit of close observation, qualities that now inform my visual language. Two decades as a volunteer docent with Art Goes to School strengthened my connection to art and eventually led me into the studio. When I discovered cold wax and oil, it felt as though my creative and professional lives converged. I traded traditional brushes for improvised tools reminiscent of surgical instruments, using them to build, carve, and scrape back layers that reveal texture, transparency, and luminosity. The process is intuitive and exploratory, keeping each painting open to possibility. In times of political or social turmoil, my palette and gestures shift. Incised lines can become a release of fear, grief, or helplessness, while my final color choices move toward grounding, peace, and hope. The work holds a tension between internal and external forces, seeking solace and beauty amid chaos. My paintings are included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, as well as private and corporate collections across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

I attempt to capture what I see and feel with my art. I never know what the finished product will look like until I stop drawing. And when I stop, it’s because it feels complete and incomplete at the same time. It is not only with I draw but what I don’t draw, allowing the negative space to complement and oppose the graphite.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-plaque monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b3f3c9bd-5e5f-4eaf-861c-f5ca189ffb34/The-Plaque.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Plaque - Make it stand out “‘The Plaque’, based on a bronze relief by the Icelandic artist Einar Jonsson, is a body of work reflecting my love of Iceland, its austere environment, its culture, and its people." https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/unhinged-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a3d30800-9f8a-445b-a0f4-5be4e2819fe7/Benjamin-Gibson_Unhinged_2025-scaled.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Unhinged #1 - Make it stand out “I love New York. To me it feels like the beating heart of relentless American confidence and ambition — the ethos of a culture compressed onto an island. I visited the United States several times in 2024 and 2025, curious how the country sees itself in this moment in time. In Times Square, a performer dressed as Elmo works one of the busiest intersections on earth, where childhood nostalgia becomes street currency. A defiant mascot of survival in a distracting theatre of spectacle.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/lincendie monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9a28a3fd-5525-4eb8-a30e-016d1516f820/PJAS-Submission--ArtzHippo-LaIncendie.jpg SUMMER 2026 - L'incendie - Make it stand out “My work explores internal landscapes shaped by pressure, expectation, and endurance. Color and visual form act as emotional release, while distortion and repetition allow what is carried silently to surface. I am interested in accumulation rather than spectacle. Subtle shifts compound until what once appeared stable begins to strain. Each piece maps a psychological terrain that can be felt before it is explained. My paintings center Black women within emotional and psychological spaces, moving between surreal imagery and intimate moments. Rather than offering fixed or stereotypical narratives, my figures remain present, contradictory, and unresolved. Through painting, I examine how visibility, scrutiny, and self-awareness shape interior experience, and how vulnerability and power can coexist within the same body.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/duck-and-squirmles monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1c3e428d-6adf-40b1-9efa-92dfd8b64611/duck-and-squirmles.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Duck and Squirmles - Make it stand out “A few years back, my friend gifted me an orange worm on a string (officially named Squirmles). I had such a fun time playing with the toy, twirling it through space and along objects. I wanted to give life and context to this silly creature and so I created a tense scene between Squirmles and a wooden Christmas duck I found at a Goodwill. The two toys sit opposite each other in a tense standoff. Who will reach for the gun first? The Duck’s imposing form towers over Squirmles but he will not be intimidated.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/swartwout-portfolio monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a7c423a9-64f6-4a3f-acb8-f67ed022c8fb/Swartwout_Boomtown+Portfolio+copy.1.jpeg SUMMER 2026 -

Swartwout Portfolio - Make it stand out “Many years ago I had an incredible encounter, while living in Germany. I believe in many of our lives, there are highs and lows, throughout ones life. For me at this particular point in mine it was definitely a low, but an event changed that both in an unexpected way and place. Letting several u-bahns pass I sat there contemplating all matter of things. Then I noticed a variety of of people headed to the convention center with a common string. Most had name badges with a flags of their native country. With broad smiles and hugs their arms and hands moved at a furious pace. People from countries all over the world getting together as old friends. This was the deaf community I was witnessing a level of hope and joy I’ve never seen before. I thought if this chance happening at that moment and thought, “Someday I’m going to create a piece that pays tribute to a community that showed me the world can be a different place, a better place. Hence, this series "Boomtown" was born.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/knifes-edge-thinking monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1649460f-7b61-4c03-b432-7e9476e1bdda/Thinking-cropped-large-file.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Knife's Edge: Thinking - Make it stand out “For my Knife’s Edge project I set photographs of the human figure alongside common objects from everyday life to make digital/analog, single-exposure cyanotype prints. With each pairing I tried to depict some aspect of the tensions we negotiate as self-aware beings -- the “knife’s edge” we walk between nature and culture, real and ideal, hope and despair. Cyanotype is a way of making photographic images with no need for lenses, a darkroom, or even a camera. The Knife’s Edge prints were created outdoors in full New Mexico sunlight, requiring close attention to weather, light angles, and the passage of time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-gods-of-ophiuchus monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6c0a14a7-52e8-479f-ad6c-eb1c5e3c1783/20250730_215311.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Gods of Ophiuchus - Make it stand out “My artistic practice was born from a state of solitude and obsessive observation of the patterns that build our microcosmos. Using fountain pen ink on archival paper, I recreate patterns found in our natural world, such as leaf venation, trabecular bone, and skin texture. Observing this phenomenon, I realized that these are the fundamental structures that make us run, breathe, and dream. As a neurodivergent artist, I channel my ability to hyperfocus on projects that demand hundreds of hours to complete, resulting in works that combine abstract surrealism, biological microstructures, music, and free-verse poetry to create an immersive experience. I choose to work with archival paper and calligraphy tools such as oblique and dip pens because those mediums are, by nature, deeply connected to my vision of blending precision with authentic craftsmanship. Being self-taught across multiple disciplines has taught me to be in a meditative state, where silence and solitude are essential parts of my artistic process. Through my lens, silence is the foundation for observation, and Solitude is what enables my mind to flourish.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-sacred-romantic-profane monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/69f59314-e23b-4d76-96ae-e11e9800d6ab/o_sagrado_romantico_profano_madchen_vivi.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Sacred Romantic Profane - Make it stand out Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Mädchen Vivi is a visual artist with a degree in Social Communication. Her professional trajectory includes working as a photography assistant and managing photographic archives for women artists such as Vânia Toledo and Lita Cerqueira. In 2017, she held her first photography exhibition combined with illustration at Associação Cultural Cecília. That same year, she participated in both group and solo exhibitions at venues including Trackers, Estúdio Lâmina, and Virada Cultural. In 2020, she was awarded at the 15th CC Festival in Nazaré, Portugal, for the photograph When I Had No Strength to React. In the following years, 2022 and 2023, two of her works were selected for the experimental and traveling exhibition Share, Tag or Dye, which toured European countries such as Romania and Spain. Her practice also stands out in digital contexts. Vivi was selected for Festival do Minuto with the series Azul and Não lhe prometi, and her authorial works "Azul" and "Toyoko Hotel" were featured on Booooooom, a global reference platform in contemporary visual arts. She also shares her projects on independent platforms that promote women artists, such as Peach Mag and RageZine, both based in New York. Exploring virtual spaces, she participated in the immersive gallery Xepa World, dedicated to crypto art.Her visual research articulates what she defines as survival feminism, often symbolized by three recurring elements in her imagery: a flower, a lipstick, and a pair of panties. In 2026, Vivi continues to develop the series: Um corpo temporário modificável; O sagrado romântico profano and New Feminine Eroticism, deepening her investigation into the body, technology, feminine eroticism, autonomy, and survival. In parallel, she works as a fashion photographer. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/light monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2419bfff-37fe-45ba-9cc5-02fddf7f854b/IMG-20240309-WA0265.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Light - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/i-let-the-devil-in monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bfb0f683-1e66-4d32-966c-e657b1727564/No.-1-I-Let-The-Devil-In.jpg SUMMER 2026 - I Let The Devil In - Make it stand out Steph Lasater is a multimedia artist focusing on painting, drawing, and photography. She focuses her practice around mental health and the difficulties surrounding the human condition, including mood and personality disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Lasater primarily uses her own portrait at the forefront of her work, acting as an insight into her mind. She focuses on the realistic while melding painterly strokes and using color as a vessel for emotion to create a dream like effect that combines idealism with destruction. Drawing from lived experience, Lasater uses her own struggles with suicidal ideation in her practice. Her work seeks to call out lackluster resources and the stigmatization of those facing mental illness, trauma, and addiction. Her work shines a light on the uncomfortable and everyday lives of the chronically mentally ill while using aesthetic imagery to mock the romanticism of trauma, depression, and darkness and extend a conversation about the things that often go unsaid. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/my-light monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/659c3aea-9fea-48b3-85d2-81e4725f41d5/ILeung_LightDark_25_Signed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - My Light - Make it stand out “‘My Light’ is a digital illustration I created as a way to process my passion for art.

I move between woodworking, hand finishing, and careful fabrication and digitally produced components and materials. My sculptures borrow the language of tools, machines, toys, and functional devices. They are designed to feel approachable, then slowly tip into unease. I use play and precision as an entry point, and I am interested in the moment when an object begins to feel less like a toy and more like a thing with its own intentions.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/triptych-4 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9e41ce73-3b28-41fb-9096-745376617724/gootnick_david_02.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Triptych #4 - Make it stand out “I am a mixed media artist working principally with wood. My designs draw from kumiko-a Japanese art form developed roughly 1400 years ago. My works are contemporary interpretations of this technique and are at the interface of art and design. I respect traditional Japanese patterns while creating works with both modern and ancient motifs. Kumiko uses narrow pieces of wood to create intricate geometric patterns. My compositions are made of hundreds, in many cases more than a thousand individual pieces of wood. I seek to broaden the exposure to kumiko among artists, artisans, and the broader public. There are few examples of this form outside of Japan, and very few artists working in this tradition in North America. I see my work as a celebration of an enduring tradition. Through it I hope to create a vivid visual experience and to add my voice to this ancient art form.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/yet-another-crisis monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/788e2e8d-ec9e-422f-9cb1-c8cfb0af637d/Yet-Another-Crisis.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Yet Another Crisis - Make it stand out “I find the process of creating chemigrams to be alluring and sensuous. Traditional darkroom development of photographic prints is a tightly controlled process, whereas I find chemigrams to involve a looser process where improvisation welcomes surprise and intrigue. Images not of photons but of the recording of physical particles having mass reacting with and changing which silver halide grains are dark or light. Affecting one another as the reaction cascades across the page. I liken these images to cosmic vistas or the afterimages you see when you close your eyes after glancing into a bright light. Both infinitely close and far away, intimate in their detail and distant in their meaning. They also remind me of the scientific images I use to pour over in my incomplete set of encyclopedias as a child growing up in rural Missouri. I guide the development of these chemigrams without safe lights and with various household chemicals. I tend to use old photo paper most of the time, some of which expired long before I was born. Those common household items could be instant coffee, washing soda, wine, beer, salt, and vitamin C powder. I create these images in large batches, experimenting with the materials and pushing the limits to what is possible further each iteration. In my approach to working through and with chemigrams precision and timing are not of concern. All the images presented in this publication are on eight by ten-inch photo paper. I have many things that I wish the viewer to see and come away with. However, our differences in the way we perceive the world leaves each of us with something different. It is only through our shared language that we can come to some understanding to what we have seen.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/river-reflections monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/413b8282-b5b1-4cb1-9864-21159fb323d6/river-reflections---PJAS-Submittal.jpg SUMMER 2026 - River Reflections - Make it stand out “My work is an exploration of the human experience through glimpses of how the natural environment and built environment interact with one another. Themes focus on intentional juxtapositions, the passage of time, and savoring the small moments as a common thread. Inspired by the way emotion weaves through natural and built landscapes and ties our humanness together, I aim to explore moments of natural synergy that strip down bias and unify. In my process I study the environment of my city and pull out small glimmers. The light dancing across a river, the passing of a cloud across the sun, a discarded piece of trash all get a second chance at meaning, a passing moment painted into forever. I create to better understand the world around me, to reassign meaning and add perspective to an otherwise mundane passage of time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/youll-never-be-more-than-just-a-woman monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/db084724-1975-42e6-ae00-8f17e3d0950b/IMG_0106.jpg SUMMER 2026 - You'll Never Be More Than Just a Woman - Make it stand out Olivia Kays is a mixed media painter who works through the topics of power and confinement within American women’s history and her own experiences. Kays explores femininity through disempowerment and consumption. Reflecting on the nature of oppression generationally and personally. Kays’ work exists within the contradiction of desire for belonging and resistance to conditions that define it. Her work examines how ideas of womanhood have been shaped, sold, and sustained through external systems of control and internalized expectations. Her work portrays American women’s history in a layered format, explores an emphasis, and allows her to be angry with the unequal distribution of power. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/soft-animal monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1a9f2930-d087-4062-9e43-187d4990c926/20x-a4-Soft-copy.png SUMMER 2026 - Soft Animal - Make it stand out “We tend to look down upon animals as base, unrefined, primitive- but fail to acknowledge our own vicious nature. We spark wars, commit genocides and perform acts that make one reel at the sheer magnitude of human cruelty. This piece draws upon the poetry of Mary Oliver to explore the complex nature of human relationships, emphasising the futility of bloodshed and the need for raw, gentle kindness instead of hate and hard knuckles.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/geometrical-patterns monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b707864c-4d4c-4f17-b07a-70932c0ea57d/monument---Copy.png SUMMER 2026 - Geometrical Patterns - Make it stand out “I strongly believe that diversity in colors and shapes in art and in nature is very important because it gives art and nature more vitality.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/ephemeral-light monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8eed7cec-4f63-4f19-ab60-0fd50048df49/RDT_20260404_1825126746718104971095543.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Ephemeral Light - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/flying-home monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9840780e-7b0d-40a6-a902-e9bd347ba6db/Flying-Home.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Flying Home - Make it stand out Exhibited at the Oculus World Trade Center, Saatchi Gallery and Sotheby’s, Kevin Trinh’s artistic practice is an attempt to make sense of our senseless and chaotic world, an invitation of participation and dialogue. His recent work explores the complexity that mediates our body and the exterior - the exteriorization of our body and the internalization of our exterior. In his sports series, the human figures and the sports fields flash over the canvas, while encroach and melt each other. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/scarlette monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/77e79bb4-d7fa-48f3-b988-a9115036dc30/Whitehead_Danielle_Scarlette.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Scarlette - Make it stand out “My artistic practice is rooted in storytelling—of the people, for the people, and by the people. Inspired by the folklore shared with me as a child and my love of literature, I view my work as a cultural repository that bridges the past and the present, honoring the complexities of the human experience. I aim to preserve memories and amplify underrepresented voices, focusing on African American heritage, marginalized narratives, and environmental themes. Research is central to my process, especially when exploring culturally significant stories or themes beyond my personal experience. Whether studying African American folklore, reflecting on individual memories, or drawing from meaningful conversations, I strive to connect personal and collective experiences. My work draws inspiration from the writings of Octavia E. Butler, Toni Morrison, and Zora Neale Hurston, fantasy literature, the natural world, and my childhood in my parents’ garden. This rich foundation allows me to craft nuanced narratives celebrating human and cultural histories. Through figure painting, portraiture, intricate patterns and motifs, and my writing, I create works that invite empathy and reflection. Each piece is a deliberate act of preservation and celebration designed to highlight marginalized communities and cultivate spaces where individuals feel seen and valued. My exploration of environmental themes further extends this ethos, connecting our responsibility to care for the planet with the care we owe to one another. Through my art, I aim to provoke dialogue, nurture empathy, and elevate unheard voices. Each story I share is not merely a narrative but an invitation for connection—a bridge between diverse experiences and our shared humanity.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/exasperated-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d0ffe807-3aab-402f-b037-86c7872fc665/Exasperated-Full-size.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Exasperated - Make it stand out “I started expressing myself after a bout with depression. I tried art therapy. I wanted to see if I could understand how I felt and how to explain myself to others. I drew a wandering path that traveled through, around, over all sorts of shapes and colors. At last, I had a tool to show others how I felt. With my drawing in hand, I could explain myself. Sometimes even now as I paint, I can sense that something is up, but I don’t know what. I toss paint to see what’s going on – Pure joy comes out a lot. I’ve seen my thoughts of the sea, the trails I walk, songs, and feelings about family, friends and lovers. By tossing paint, I can identify, express, resolve and manage my feelings as well as invite others to know me better. I like to think I can add joy and a tool for self-discovery to others.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/calceolaria-pocketbook-flower monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b2be35ba-e69b-4346-afd0-433883e25ddd/Calceolaria-signed-20-mb-copy.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Calceolaria (Pocketbook Flower) - Make it stand out “My limited edition digital art prints are inspired by the natural world. I am influenced by the beauty of images found in the books and prints located in the archives of the libraries, museums, and botanical gardens from around the world. As these institutions digitalized their collections and made them available to the public, my sources for inspirations became unlimited. My digital technique is a natural progression from my work in cut paper collage.

The thing I love most is capturing my subject’s likeness through vitalizing details – both on the surface of the artwork, as well as the narrative behind it. I often use a mixed media approach combining acrylic and colored pencil. Working this way combines the freedom of laying bold washes with the tight control of drawing. As the piece is built up in many thin layers, I can carefully explore all the details. Quilting these details together as a visual story is where I find my greatest artistic passion.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/premire-rencontre monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e64fcab0-af0b-41ca-85f9-a8f6392c63f2/PremiAre-rencontre---Jean-Erick-Chery.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Première Rencontre - Make it stand out Jean-Erick Chery is an artist born and raised in Haiti and currently based in Florida. His art is deeply informed by the vibrant culture of the Caribbean. His paintings are characterized by a bold, expressive palette; rich vivid colors and strong contrasts that reflect the warmth and energy of his origins.

While wandering about a landscape, Caldarise seeks with the mind’s eye, noting first impressions to in the studio as source material. As she develops the painting themes, Caldarise researches plants, folklore, and geological histories to locate through-lines with her first impressions. With this process, she aspires to weave a lived experience with artist-created source material and research. Her artwork is situated in transitional moments, examining ephemeral qualities of a landscape to craft an experience of discovery for the viewer. Each space seems like something, or someone has just arrived at the scene. Caldarise’s paintings position environments as entry points for open-ended narratives drawing on the collective consciousness. Her paintings evolve over time, possessing a mutable yet distinct character — akin to the changing impressions one gets when revisiting a favorite book. The experience alters with each encounter, enriched by previous engagements. By investigating various viewpoints: historical, personal, and imagined, we can create empathy within our ever-changing world. These paintings are derived from experiences within the social and physical environments around us. Using the language of landscape, her art explores the tension between real and surreal. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/casa-parte-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/eeca195d-2987-45e4-ab85-aa6dd2fcdfc1/Fernandez_Casa-parte-1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Casa Parte 1 - Make it stand out “My artwork explores the theme of home as a feeling of connection to people, memory, and the natural world. I’m interested in how home can exist within us, across landscapes, and through ancestral memory. I draw inspiration from Latin American tilework, vibrant color palettes, and organic patterns that reference nature’s rhythms. These visual elements become metaphors for identity, migration, and the layered histories of the diaspora. I’m inspired by Spanish tilework, which became popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean through colonization of these lands. In response to this colonial influence, I create tile inspired paintings with symbols to remix the status quo and proclaim identity. By using the tile as both symbol and structure, I reimagine forms rooted in colonial history as spaces for reclamation and healing.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/rise-n-shine monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/04a8d2f5-8467-4759-8220-3daaa95b4247/Jenneris_Sui_RisenShine.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Rise ‘n Shine - Make it stand out Sui Jenneris has been making art since childhood, using creativity to understand and reimagine the world.

The print features the recognizable playboy symbol paired with fluorescent colors and protective, darker shadows, critiquing how society and consumer culture restrict their voices while objectifying them. The prints are connected to a broader history of female critique that spans generations, influenced by artists like Barbara Kruger and the Guerrilla Girls, as well as the voice of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" by the Boston Women’s Health Collective. Moreover, printmaking, with its long history of activism and widespread communicative power, helps bring this issue into a public, accessible space. The print itself serves as both a protest and a testimony to critical discourse, challenging ignorance and holding culture responsible for its portrayal of femininity within the context of capitalism. And through mass media and advertising, capitalistic culture perpetuates idealized images of femininity that both exploit and silence women, turning identity into a consumable aesthetic rather than a lived experience.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/dream-landscape-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0c986b8b-553f-4295-b641-11044cde0eeb/Tichenor_Stephanie_1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Dream Landscape #1 - Make it stand out “Throughout my career (as artist and educator) I have chosen to work with children. Children are infinitely inspirational for me, their energy, thirst for knowledge and insights are elating. I am not unlike a child, my aesthetic is childlike and messy, obsessive and sweet. My other influences include plants, animals, topography, cartoons, video games, plastic bits, toys, games, fruit, candy, sweets and treats. Previous works of mine include sewn thread paintings of stuffed animals and acrylic painted color studies of licorice. My current felt sculptures call back to my University focus in fiber arts, felt making and dying. Carding the wool, layering it as a warp and weft and hot/cold felting and needle felting these craft techniques are ancient, my take on it though, is not. It’s repetitive and calming despite using the brightest colors and exciting ideas. My dream landscape is filled with critters on a mountainous landscape.

These unknowable connections give life to my work in ways I never expect. MelissAllegories, is an evolving narrative with unique characters and settings intricately interwoven to convey a myriad of metaphors. This collection comprises five interconnected worlds within an overarching realm named Lében, the German word for Life. Grandpa Gladiolus is an elder figure with wisdom and experience, leader of the Iris family, and a survivor of tragic events in the Electric Forest. I think that some people need to be dreamers to give others hope. I love using lines, shapes, symbols, and patterns. I use acetate sheets, transfer paper, and stencils to convey concepts. My work emphasizes our relationship with the biosphere (on, above, and below where all life exists) as an interaction between nature and nurture—a willingness and consensus between biological and environmental factors to sustain life.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-myth-of-letting-go monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fa04ea1b-c656-4225-aff0-9bed4112f1e9/IMG_9704.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Myth of ‘Letting Go’ - Make it stand out This painting holds testimony to the futility of letting go when encountering the cadence of chronic illnesses. The sunny glow lingers as a veneer of vitality, veiling the fissures beneath. The growing black verticals stand as temporal bars, echoing the slow sedimentation of suffering. The composition communicates the fragility of healing as release. Any sense of release dissolves when existence unfolds as a series of symptoms. Here, time is not a healer but a witness to the blurring boundaries between body and burden. Through this work, the artist challenges dominant narratives that soften and simplify physical suffering. She summons the language of embodied experience to honour the weight of that which repeatedly remains. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/backdrop-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ff6a99f5-e33b-46b3-b147-4d6a3f215eee/2014.10-BACKDROP-I.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Backdrop #1 - Make it stand out “I incorporate scrap materials from my “day job,” painting murals and large-scale backdrops and scenery (for television, theatre, museums, cruise ships, parades, retail displays etc.) to make colorful, inventive, post-human paintings and collages. Working in the entertainment and production industries keeps me acutely aware of the colossal amount of waste they create, and I often salvage materials such as scrap lumber, muslin, and paint that would ultimately end up in dumpsters. This piece was crafted while I was an artist-in-residence at ArtScape Toronto Point in Canada, and was originally intended as a backdrop for a performance by upright bassist Slaveiko Savov.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/undersea-gold monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9270216e-470d-42ab-90ca-77130b06437c/Gail-Morrison-Hall_Undersea-Gold_20H-x-24W_acrlic-with-metallic-painted-string-and-pearlescent-colors-2017.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Undersea Gold - Make it stand out “A native of Philadelphia, I attended Tyler School of Art {Temple University) on a full scholarship, graduating with a BFA and certification in education. Subsequently, I earned an MAed and 60 additional graduate credits from Arcadia University. The first part of my professional career was spent as a teacher of art to young students. In recent years, I have been fully focused on making and exhibiting my own art. Putting into practice the inventive openness and lack of inhibition that I observed in my students, I adopted the mantra "Don't think, just paint!" permitting my heart and my psyche to direct my hand and eye, yielding an unfiltered direct emotional response to ideas in moods ranging from lighthearted and playful to strong and bold. I am, primarily, an abstract painter, although a friend described me as "six artists rolled into one", as I transcribe the many things which fascinate me onto canvas and paper. My recent work has been color driven, incorporating varied methods of paint application using traditional and non-traditional tools. I invite you, the viewer, to engage in a visual journey with me while getting lost in color driven moods of the moment.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/boy-in-front-of-mosque monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/35576ef9-4fd1-4ca8-814c-1039e1197dd8/resize13-large--edited_-croped-Single-boy-in-temple.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Boy in Front of Mosque - Make it stand out “Self possessed young person prior to full indoctrination into cultural life.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/bearing-down monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6aa0f0c3-2068-435c-931b-1476724cc861/Bearing-Down-copy.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Bearing Down - Make it stand out “The execution of this drawing was a metaphor for codifying the complex and fragile structure of identity. In today’s challenging environment, there seems to be a constant negotiation between seemingly opposed concepts of singularity and multiplicity. This drawing attempts to reflect contemporary concepts of identity that subvert conventional binaries like political parties, gender roles and classism.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/concrete-citizens monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e8854a18-2b7d-4757-b230-290af8eacca6/tikku_sidhya_12.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Concrete Citizens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/15953d99-5992-476c-a44f-a7423179ee9e/tikku_sidhya_11.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Concrete Citizens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ea2e9390-7161-4c7c-9b71-3a79cd66c432/tikku_sidhya_15.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Concrete Citizens - Make it stand out Sidhya Tikku is an award-winning, New York–based creative technologist whose practice operates at the confluence of contemporary art, computational systems, photography, and artificial intelligence. Educated in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design and further shaped by interdisciplinary study at Cornell Tech, his work is informed by both critical design discourse and emerging technological paradigms. His artistic output traverses digital media and algorithmic experimentation while remaining grounded in materially expressive photographic forms, including film, Polaroid, and digitally mediated imagery. Through this hybrid practice, Tikku investigates perception, temporality, and the evolving relationship between human authorship and machine intelligence, positioning his work within a broader international dialogue on art, systems, and post-digital culture. About the artwork: "Concrete Citizens" is an evocative series of images captured in the vibrant and ever-evolving landscape of New York City over the past three years. This collection, comprising both film and digital photographs, offers a multifaceted exploration of the metropolis through various perspectives, seasons, and atmospheres. Each image eloquently portrays the intricate dance between individuals and the urban fabric, revealing the myriad ways in which they navigate and engage with the city's complex systems. This series stands as a poignant testament to the indomitable spirit and resilience of New Yorkers, illustrating their collective journey through the trials of inflation, terrorism, pandemic, and violence. "Concrete Citizens" celebrates the city's capacity for healing and renewal, showcasing the unwavering strength of its inhabitants as they "let go" of their fears to rise above adversity and emerge even stronger. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/timbered-gaze monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3cb0382b-9e0d-4b91-8f3c-72a2d3b39341/2947.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Timbered Gaze - Make it stand out “My work is rooted in the quiet, unspoken dialogue between humanity, animals, and the natural world. I create ceramic sculptures to explore the deep kinship between all living things, and to blur the line between the self and the earth that shapes us. Inspired by the textures of weathered bark, eroded stone, and marine life, I use raw clay and fluid, organic glazes to mimic the slow, transformative forces of nature. I embrace imperfection in every drip, crack, and uneven surface, letting the firing process add its own mark to each piece—turning the craft itself into a collaboration with the elements. My goal is to capture the quiet resilience of life: the anger and defense of a puffed pufferfish, the stillness of a human face merging with bark, the quiet companionship of squirrels in a tree. Through these works, I invite viewers to see themselves in the natural world, and to recognize the shared strength, vulnerability, and interconnectedness that binds us all. For me, making art is a way to honor that bond, to slow down, and to reflect on what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/metaart-evolution monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/06629569-f5d7-4096-9a5d-f4c8c80036f5/MetaArt_Evolution_gallery.png SUMMER 2026 - MetaArt: Evolution - Make it stand out Lee Ann Heltzel Most paintings are made. Mine are received. MetaArt is a genre of intuitive, frequency-based abstract painting created through deep meditation. I act as a channel, not a designer. I do not approach the canvas until I perceive the next layer — a discipline that ensures what emerges is guided by something beyond thought. The result is work with a distinct energetic frequency, built in layers over weeks or months. MetaArt sits at the crossroads of visual art, contemplative practice, and consciousness studies. Research in neuroaesthetics shows that complex imagery activates the Default Mode Network — a system linked to introspection, imagination, and self-awareness — while inducing alpha and theta brainwave states typical of deep meditation. MetaArt works precisely in this space. Viewers engage through Ocular Meditation™, an eyes-open practice rooted in Trataka. Rather than withdrawing, they soften their gaze and let sight quiet the mind — opening receptive states long cultivated by contemplative traditions and now increasingly measurable through neuroscience. The paintings do not instruct or impose meaning. They function as mirrors reflecting back something the viewer already carries but may not yet be able to name. My practice is rooted in thirty years as a death doula. At the edge of life, I saw art reach people when words, medicine, and love fell short. Visual perception offers a direct path to awareness beyond language. Evolution is permanently installed at Sonic Serenity Healing in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania — created in response to a channeled transmission from the threshold between life and death, accompanied by sacred sound by Dovida Goodman. I exhibit and offer retreats at Evolutionary Minded Wellness in Etna, Pennsylvania. I am a 2026 Artist-in-Residence at the Chautauqua Institution School of Art, a 2024 MvVO Art Award winner, a Silver Pencil winner at The One Show, a 2024 artist-in-residence at Lily Dale Assembly, and Co-Founder of Millions Meditating. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/to-grow-you-have-to-look-at-your-roots monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/41a93a63-d4f4-46e1-a77a-07795520bd8c/Hauck_To-grow-you-have-to-look-at-you-roots-2025.jpg SUMMER 2026 - To Grow, You Have to Look at Your Roots - Make it stand out Larissa Monique Hauck is a Canadian visual artist whose paintings move through luminous colour and surreal figuration to examine identity, perception, and the construction of the self within the queer feminine experience. Rooted in self-portraiture, her work considers what it means to be seen, and shaped, by a gaze that both desires and distorts. Central to her practice is an exploration of mental health and its invisible impacts, and how the act of self-imaging alters one’s sense of self over time. Her paintings hold the tension of being perceived as delicate while carrying an undercurrent of defiance, tracing the psychological cost of existing within systems that demand both visibility and compliance. Hauck’s work invites viewers to confront their own gaze: what they project onto feminine and queer bodies, what they consume, and what they attempt to silence. For those who do not conform, it offers recognition—asserting resilience within fragmentation, and power within contradiction. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/doctor-amp-patient monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/78550a7d-e584-49a2-aac9-6d175f09a705/B7BB80F8-2A7C-43FE-AD9B-5A0C58C8B202.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Doctor & Patient - Make it stand out “A portrait is ever-changing. My artistry explores the self as a distorted concept. When my artwork is viewed, I want to curate a space in which people can interpret it in a way that ties it delicately to their own cultures, lived experiences, and interpretations, not unlike a Rorschach test. I use various methods, usually illustration and collage, to create scenes of the melancholic and narrow. My use of mixed media allows me to corroborate different aspects of the world around us, such as pop culture, fashion, and music. My illustrations consist of portraits and figures, with a focus on describing emotion through facial expressions and body language, artworks that are felt more than they are seen.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/foggy-morning monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6c068233-7867-4990-b1cd-79edbb6f66a6/sonnenaufgang.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Foggy Morning - Make it stand out “I’ve always dreamed of capturing that perfect moment—early in the morning, just as the sun begins to rise and a soft fog lingers across the landscape. There’s something so peaceful and almost otherworldly about that time of day. The world feels hushed, like it's holding its breath. The light is gentle, golden, and diffused by the mist, and everything around you seems to slow down. It’s a moment that feels both intimate and vast, where time stands still, and you get to witness nature waking up. For years, I imagined what it would feel like to photograph that scene. I pictured standing alone in the quiet, camera in hand, watching the first light of day break through the fog. It became one of those dreams that stayed with me—simple but meaningful, a moment I wanted to experience not just with my eyes but with my whole being. Last year, I finally had the chance to fulfill that dream. I found myself in the right place at the right time. The air was cool and damp, the fog wrapped gently around the hills, and the horizon began to glow with the first hints of sunrise. I could feel the anticipation building as the light slowly shifted, coloring the sky with soft pinks and golds. Then, just as I’d always imagined, the sun rose—casting long shadows, illuminating the mist, and turning the entire scene into something almost surreal.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/head-metaphysics monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/240b9fd7-10ff-4340-945a-ef8d16215d8e/Leo_Bacharach_Phase0_HostOfSpirits.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/723759b3-b122-42f9-a9d9-4e2f28252d09/Leo_Bacharach_Phase1_NewBornBaby.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2f4755c0-871d-43a4-a8fb-54c163041dac/Leo_Bacharach_Phase2_Golem.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/92ef223e-32f1-47cd-b859-9667a9d4c703/Leo_Bacharach_Phase3_Teenager.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/65767a6b-19de-4791-8a35-3ca56432939e/Leo_Bacharach_Phase4_Youth.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9c33ddda-b248-47e2-ab47-e81ddc885cae/Leo_Bacharach_Phase5_Graduated.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/359ad90a-effb-4c92-af8b-261e8804b157/Leo_Bacharach_Phase6_Adult.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6b21594b-d796-44d8-990e-33418722e04a/Leo_Bacharach_Phase7_Broken.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f2740037-bdb0-459d-b70d-d6e9333b5f92/Leo_Bacharach_Phase8_Death.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8214fb90-d606-47a4-b0c8-9b79dd774577/Leo_Bacharach_Phase9_Loneliness.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Head Metaphysics - Make it stand out “Head Metaphysics” is a photographic series exploring the human condition through a procession of sculptural portraits — abstract heads made from synthetic and fragile materials, each embodying a stage of existence. In the virtual space of the exhibition, the photographs become the only surviving trace of these ephemeral objects, transforming documentation into the primary medium. The journey begins in the astral plane: polyethylene skulls drifting in water beneath an open sky, evoking souls suspended in preexistence. Life then unfolds through increasingly corporeal yet uncanny forms — a newborn figure lying on a baby scale against a tiled backdrop, a spectral paper golem, a vibrant youth clad in disco reflections, an academic effigy cracked and inscribed with forgotten glyphs. Adulthood appears pierced and burdened, its canvas skin stretched with black geometry. Fracture follows: the “Broken” head split and bandaged, glowing red from its hollow core. Death emerges as a charcoal relic resting in cake-like repose, surrounded by soil and cutlery — a meeting of ritual and absurdity. The final head, nearly transparent, turns toward a single point of light: solitude. Each sculpture is hand‑crafted, faceless, and stripped of sensory features — deliberately devoid of humanity yet saturated with symbolic weight. A secondary sequence of smaller images offers alternate angles and moods, expanding the psychological space of each figure. “Head Metaphysics” is a meditation on the shape of being — its stages, ruptures, and quiet thresholds — an invitation to encounter our inner archetypes in silence and scale. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/superintendent-1-5 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3fb3e640-c0a0-4002-a983-5388100f423e/Whitney_SuperintendentNo1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Superintendent # 1-5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c7634800-73af-4e32-8628-cddde99e6fc3/Whitney_SuperintendentNo2.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Superintendent # 1-5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b87b450b-b98b-4029-9c19-daaced22b5e4/Whitney_SuperintendentNo3-.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Superintendent # 1-5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2db58e18-5749-490d-bd6d-0e501ab51cfb/Whitney_SuperintendentNo4.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Superintendent # 1-5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/36c9047a-3e80-4d69-878d-d6075bed9fd8/Whitney_SuperintendentNo5.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Superintendent # 1-5 - Make it stand out “I am a painter who investigates systemic violence in education by interpreting my experiences as a primary and secondary art teacher, considering the experiences of other educators, and current events. My artistic practice reveals the struggles that schools face as they seek to be safe and equalizing places for children to learn while fostering solidarity and community among educators. This work is necessary because issues such as school shootings, gender inequality, and racism weaken the public school system. While there is already data and research supporting much of what I discuss in my artistic practice, problems affecting education are easy to reduce to simple numbers, especially in a world desensitized to violence. Ultimately, the teachers, children, and communities affected by the systemic problems undermining our education system are easily ignored. In “The Supers”, I painted the highest-level administrator at every school I have worked at or attended. These works reference paintings of superintendents and presidents that traditionally line the halls of schools. All eight paintings are men, and all but one are white, reflecting my experience and the vast predominance of people in academic leadership. To create this work, I painted over copper leaf with oil paint. In art, gold leaf is often associated with power and found in places such as palaces and cathedrals. However, I used copper leaf instead, a material that, while similar, has more in common with a nearly worthless, outdated penny than a grand palace. This material is what covers the administrators' eyes, simultaneously blinding them while providing anonymity.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/drag-queen monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/df9b8208-46bb-459c-9b60-8b3bfb71b2e3/Drag-Queen-Yota-Yamaguchi.png SUMMER 2026 - Drag Queen - Make it stand out Yota Yamaguchi paints his works by superimposing various landscapes of the world and the people who live there. There is an aspect in human costume that is influenced by the local climate, culture, and nature. Hair ornaments, for example, are often modeled after local plants and animals. In other words, if we trace the origins of the costumes, we can catch a glimpse of the local lifestyle and stories. By superimposing landscapes and people in this way, it is possible to visualize latent information that is not directly visible to the eye, such as what kind of nature and stories existed in the land and how the costumes and facial expressions of the people in the work were created. Then, when Yota Yamaguchi finally puts all his works together in the same place, each one of them will play the role of a piece of the puzzle. They will compose a large work of art that represents the colors of the world in this age in which we live. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/dance-with-my-father-again monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f22332d8-6912-41bc-b28a-1f50242d4993/01-Adegboyega-Arohunmolase--Dance-with-my-father-again-2023.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Dance with My Father Again - Make it stand out “I am a multidisciplinary artist and art educator based in the United States, working across mixed media and writing to explore themes of migration, identity, and cultural heritage. My practice is shaped by my experience as an immigrant and informed by the visual language of Abstract Expressionism, alongside patterns, materials, and textures rooted in my cultural traditions. Central to my work is an experimental use of materials such as African wax print fabric, hot glue sticks, rug tufting, enameled copper, and pyrography. These materials function as both medium and metaphor, allowing me to examine the layered and fluid nature of identity and belonging. African wax print fabric appears repeatedly in my work as a symbol of heritage and transformation. Through cutting, layering, and reconfiguring the fabric, I reflect on the hybrid condition of cultural identity its ability to evolve while remaining connected to memory and history. Hot glue and rug tufting introduce labor, tactility, and process into my work, mirroring the reconstruction of identity in the context of migration. Writing in both Yoruba and English often embedded through pyrography extends my practice into poetry and personal narrative. Through these combined approaches, my work highlights the resilience, adaptability, and beauty of diasporic identity.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/into-the-lions-mouth monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/cb53649f-ac0e-4288-b52e-e1b2fc52192b/Into-the-Lion%27s-Mouth-20x20-300-dpi.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Into the Lion's Mouth - Make it stand out “Being a fan of big cats, I had to dedicate some of my time to work on drawing one of them.

Embracing home economics, I intentionally use traditional craft skills, cooking, and sewing to create my work. Using kitchen chemistry, I cook all-natural bioplastics and bio composite materials. The bioplastics encapsulate layers of personal and cultural significance, including leftover meals, family financial statements, shredded U.S. currency, and the language of flowers. The composites are then stitched and crafted into objects and quilt patterns that explore the domestic constraints, pervasive myths, and capitalist demands placed on women, marriage, and motherhood. The biodegradable nature of the pieces introduces a critical tension: their longevity depends on the attentive care of their keeper, paralleling the ephemeral yet demanding nature of the domestic labor they critique.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/schoodic monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/be4d2767-36f3-4bb2-8ebc-b0f172647800/Schoodic.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Schoodic - Make it stand out “My role is not to explain or justify my work, but to create pieces that communicate on a deeper, more intuitive level. My artistic intent is to capture memories and moments that have the power to transport you - to evoke specific feelings and sensations within the viewer through the language of color, texture, and composition. My painting process is an organic, ever-evolving journey of ‘becoming.’ The act of creation is a constant state of discovery, where I allow my subconscious and the materials to guide the direction. I'm not interested in dictating meaning or handing out interpretations. I want my canvases to be the visual embodiment of my creative voice, inviting the viewer to engage with the work and draw their own connections. As Stieglitz suggests, you will have to "sense it in the end through your own experience" in order to truly understand the essence of what an artist has to communicate. Ultimately, my paintings are my artist's statement. I hope that when you engage with my work, you'll allow yourself to get lost in the experience, to discover the underlying resonance through your own lived perspective. That, to me, is the true purpose of my art.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fireweed-desire monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/56af9d05-8b62-4554-8167-c1bccc0a1c36/Bumiller_Fireweed-Desire_48x24.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fireweed: Desire - Make it stand out “My home state of Colorado has experienced a rise in forest fires over recent decades. This work is based on firsthand observation of the landscape in the aftermath of such events—showing the regrowth that follows. Fireweed, a plant known for thriving in fire-disturbed soil, reflect s the ongoing cycle of destruction and renewal. In the face of environmental loss, my work offers a reminder of resilience, recovery, and the possibility of new life.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/self-portrait-2 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/eeac6961-375d-4415-a4c1-88cac3b2f4c5/Tezza-0184.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Self Portrait - Make it stand out “‘Self Portrait’ is titled as such because it represents the self portrayed to the world, while the inner world—something many try to hide due to personal shame and fear of being known—still seeps out anyway. I believe in embracing the full self, warts and all. This is when we are at our most arresting even when our secrets are exposed, and maybe even because of it. Ceramics allows me to pull myself and my ideas directly from my head, through my hands, and into the clay, bringing them into this world as tangible, beautiful, and imperfect objects.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/uncage monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/60cabc01-5e59-4614-8b4c-6810bab3c63f/Uncage---Farah-Art-Griffin.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Uncage - Make it stand out “Seeking to understand suffering found in the spaces of our collective being and my own personal being is where my art exploration resides. In my current work, I find myself at the intersection of text and found objects as I navigate paint, metal, fabric, and/or other mediums. ‘Uncage’ is a contemplation on the human caging systems that occupy our Earth and a wishing call to free all.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/midnight-garden monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1d76b499-ecb9-4cfc-b582-47528ec81a95/Moonlight-Garden.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Midnight Garden - Make it stand out Kathleen Miles is a New York City based artist who focuses on digital media, but also works with traditional media using acrylic and gouache paints. Her digital paintings are bold and colorful abstracts with geometric structures, layered elements, as well as painterly details and textures that are revealed when viewed at close range. Patterns and forms are repeated, conveying energy, movement and rhythm. The most basic shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles are a source of inspiration. The compositions are built primarily with many iterations of shapes that vary in size and angles, but fit together with the aim of expressing a dynamic whole. Color plays a vital role, delineating each element, creating rhythms and interplay. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/interwoven-expressions monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/360d68d4-049b-4082-84e4-fc3596246ddc/Interwoven-Expressions-AI-GPT-Interactive-Art-4-Jon-Montenegro.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Interwoven Expressions - Make it stand out Jon Montenegro is an interactive artist and AI developer working at the intersection of human experience, artificial intelligence, and data visualization. His practice begins with a single question: what if data could be felt, not just read? Montenegro doesn't use AI to generate art, he builds environments where AI is the art. Drawing from live data streams, collective human behavior, and real-time interaction, his work transforms raw information into living, responsive systems that audiences can step inside, influence, and experience firsthand. The result is a body of work that sits at the boundary between generative art, interactive installation, and computational design where the machine listens, the data moves, and the audience becomes part of the composition. His work invites a fundamental shift in perspective: away from data as something cold and abstract, toward data as something deeply, unexpectedly human. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pestoso-mugroso monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/fe7632ec-3a24-46a8-aad6-08ff913f1cc1/Sanchez_pestosa-mugrosa-septum-ornament-on-model-right_2024.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pestoso Mugroso - Make it stand out "Pestoso Mugroso" explores how icons and placements of jewelry objects can signal messages of Queerness. Septum jewelry is a shared visual indicator of Queerness, many forms of body modifications and chosen adornments function to disrupt hetero-patriarchal ideals and assert said Queerness. This piece of adornment functions as self- affirmation, flagging, and empowerment of the wearer. The title serves to humorously accept and display the prodding negativity that surrounds queer people. Translated the title is "Stinky Filthy"; the title, color pallete, and form is meant to draw attention to the rejection and disgust Queer people face daily. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/hushlight monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/99190fee-f995-4f64-a1f7-bba4a35a25c6/DelaneyM_Hushlight3.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Hushlight - Make it stand out “When I am in front of a canvas, my worldview changes. I become everyone and no one. I allow my imagination and interpretation of beauty around me to shine like a beacon that I have control over. My work leans towards Imaginative Realism but I like to experiment with several genres to keep my art fresh. I follow a comprehensive 5-step process with every piece: 1-Sketch on canvas. 2-Value study/painting shadows. 3-Complementary color under painting. 4-Color blocking of shapes. 5-Details and highlights. In every painting, I strive to connect emotionally with someone's heart. Since everyone is unique, I reach out in different directions to convey thoughtfulness, emotion and spirit. Currently I am participating in our local 'open studios' event to demonstrate and share my 5-step process in person with our community.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/wood monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/81d3c68e-1270-4505-bf21-3f3cc0839c29/IMG_2314.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Wood - Make it stand out “The title of the piece serves as a double entendre. On one hand, the image is made by large scale woodcut, hence the title "Wood". On deeper inspection, the viewer can see the image is depicting someone showcasing their genitals. Specifically, a transmasculine person drawing emphasis to their clitoris. The enlargement of the clitoris, which occurs when someone with a vagina takes testosterone, is sometimes referred to as a "T Dick". Hence, "Wood". The scale and craftsmanship of the piece elevates the work, and furthermore elevates the use of trans bodies in the fine art world.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/mask-in-the-spirit-of-our-second-selves monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7d048657-5f4e-49c6-82cf-f64752fd0409/DGLemeh_Mask_in-_the_Spirit_of_Our_2nd_Selves.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mask in the Spirit of Our Second Selves - Make it stand out Mask in the Spirit of Our Second Selves: consider the book by W.E.B. Dubious, printed in 1903, titled The Souls of Black Folk. In his book, Dubious describes the concept of the Negro people in the United States having "the individual sensation of feeling as though [our] identity is divided into several parts." Dubious referred to this as double consciousness. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/luckys-lane-mural monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/da052ac5-4fae-402b-bce5-3854a72a273d/Lucky%27s-Lane-Mural-South-7th-St..jpg SUMMER 2026 - Lucky's Lane Mural - Make it stand out Theron Cook’s work explores transformation, identity, healing, and human connection through intentional visual storytelling. As an award-winning muralist, educator, and brand strategist, his practice blends fine art, branding, public engagement, and community-centered experiences designed to inspire reflection and self-expression. Rooted in the philosophy of “Don’t Quit,” Theron creates murals, interactive installations, workshops, and visual communication systems that encourage creativity, resilience, and collective growth. His work is driven by the belief that art can serve as both personal therapy and a powerful tool for community connection and transformation. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/listenshe-speaks monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/35c4cb6b-41a7-4efe-85b2-d7f8017efa19/Sculpture-5.1.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Listen...She Speaks - Make it stand out “The female body is populated with many meanings: the sexualised male gaze, the necessity of the soft, comforting mother body and the youth/ beauty mystique. But I wonder what the female body would say if she could speak for herself. What stories would she tell? What wisdom would she bring forth from her depths?” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/depths monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2295dead-84ae-491e-ad14-4166e2c254d6/Depths-by-Maria-Go.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Depths - Make it stand out “Color is part of the very fabric of our world, of being human. It causes us to experience a myriad of emotions and allows us to tell our stories. I use color and form as an outlet, a healing process, a means of connection, and a way to stay curious.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/black-and-white-hen monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/23177dd2-02dd-4d5b-9966-fdfe4c5b1b79/black-white-hen-600.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Black and White Hen - Make it stand out “I am in my element when I have paper and pencil, and can doodle simples shapes. I enjoy seeing how small changes in lines, shapes, and color can alter the evolution of a design, taking a "doodle" and turning it into a geometric pattern. My art has evolved to include collages where I cut up prints of my geometric drawings and paste them to create a whole new piece of art. I love the texture collage brings to the art piece as well as seeing how my abstract patterns can be used to create a more representational subject.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/look-again-choker monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3b2e42c5-b0c4-4fb5-9fad-ceaa9797c0be/Detail_Lookagain_LuisaMFlorezHerran.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Look Again Choker - Make it stand out “Look Again” is a reflection of my journey—crocheting fine wire became a way to cope with my mental health, finding comfort in its repetitive motion and the memories of my grandmother teaching me the craft in Colombia. In moments of helplessness, the quiet act of making helped me regain strength, reminding me of the power of tactile experiences to align body and mind. Each delicate loop invites you to pause, look closer, and challenge assumptions. This piece blends textile and jewelry techniques, embodying patience, resilience, and introspection. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/velvet monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3fdd5a2c-4b9e-4b4e-8763-40728e90fe53/Velvet.png SUMMER 2026 - Velvet - Make it stand out “After being tired of minimalism and beige tones everywhere, I chose a deep turquoise background, velvety and matte, which reminds of the dressing room of a popular cabaret at the end of the 20th century. The air is filled with the sweet scent of powder and sweet perfume and the flirtatious laughter of dancers, whose beauty is bright and vibrant, yet fragile, like flowers in full bloom.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/educational-costs monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e89d2838-0d23-4348-b0be-ee5b1ed57859/Educational-Costs.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Educational Costs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/amblypygi monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/34f99baa-b172-4a2b-9bee-061e5cca5710/Edwards_Amblypygi_2023.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Amblypygi - Make it stand out Ezra Edwards is a scientific illustrator, based in Denver, Colorado, with a strong background in biological and anatomical illustration, dedicated to advancing public understanding of science through visual storytelling. They consider illustration to be a tool that can be leveraged to inspire curiosity and promote environmental awareness. His goal is to make science more visible and approachable—bridging the gap between scientific research and public interpretation, inspiring awe and sense of place, and ultimately illuminating our shared responsibility in sustaining the ecosystems that support life on Earth. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/jose monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e3f9f3ee-1f15-4900-83fd-51ffd0f6e1c3/Jose-BP.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Jose - Make it stand out “As a surgeon and a quilter, I am continuously fascinated by the intricate beauty of human anatomy and the delicate interplay of form and function within the body. It was in my years as an undergraduate at Penn that I first learned to appreciate this balances. Through my art quilts, I aim to capture the essence of this fascination while weaving in elements of my own life experiences. My quilts serve as a visual narrative of the connections between my professional world and my creative expression. Working with fabric, I utilize traditional quilting techniques alongside innovative approaches to bring my visions to life. Whether piecing together a complex anatomical structure or meticulously quilting layers to evoke texture and depth, I find joy in the process.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/coconut-swan monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b096164e-32f1-4343-98d2-1cfa22f220ce/IMG_0241.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Coconut Swan - Make it stand out “My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Mexican and Native American cultures which are a part of me and have inspired me since my childhood. These influences serve as the foundation of my creative expression. In my practice, I specialize in acrylic painting and the repurposing of rescued three dimensional wooden animals. My work serves as an ode to sustainability and the transformative power of art. In my practice, I rescue abandoned animals from resale shops, thrift stores, garages, and wherever else. These forgotten figures find new life in my studio, as I re-imagine them with colors and patterns drawn from various, also forgotten, artistic traditions. My goal is to create art that not only touches the soul causing viewers to pause, but also contributes to the health of our Planet and most importantly, pays tribute to often-overlooked global art and design traditions.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-temple-of-medusa monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/1f9ce59e-9c46-451c-b5ef-4129ebedbbed/The-Temple-of-Medusa.png SUMMER 2026 - The Temple of Medusa - Make it stand out “In the Temple of Medusa, we observe the Gorgon in her quiet Glory. A creature born with the strength and venom to protect herself, and those who need protecting. They say her gaze turns men to stone, it's true, one can see why. Gorgeous but fierce, her brightly colored serpents warn all that gaze upon her, that she is not to be trifled with. Those that seek her strength, guidance, and protection, will be welcomed into the cool safety of her Temple, and taught the ways of inner strength, and independence.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/school-lunch monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6c727b55-310e-48fb-bbf8-e5f63f2b63dd/WeinblatL_SL20.jpg SUMMER 2026 - SCHOOL LUNCH - Make it stand out “I'm a figurative painter whose imagery is informed through direct observation, memory and personal experience. SCHOOL LUNCH is a visual essay of contemporary student life, created by observational drawing, on-site, in real educational settings. The paintings in this series present images concerning the nature and passions of human relationships. Current social cultural issues and their emotional attitudes are explored in the shared experience of school lunch. SCHOOL LUNCH is generated from drawing in the educational facility, in lunchrooms and campuses of High Schools and Colleges. Each individual in my paintings, drawn in the moment, is an actual person. The drawings are the genesis of my paintings. The drawings are fast ten/ fifteen-minute graphite/pastel pencil likenesses. My compositions are reflections of the atmosphere and tone of my observations. My goal is to create humanistic awareness in a framework that is universally recognized. SCHOOL LUNCH underlines perceptions which affirm cultural identity, brings together ideas espousing contemporary social, gender and political concerns while encouraging a belief in the quality of human spirit.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/brevity-is-the-soul-of-lingerie monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e6493e58-fc89-4334-a74a-be15ed06e9d7/Brevity-is-the-soul-of-lingerie---Large.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Brevity is the Soul of Lingerie - Make it stand out The rich tapestry of The American Experiment reveals a dynamic tension between freedom and control, between chaos and order. The result is the restless, exhilarating vibrancy that is so characteristically American. Selected American texts celebrate the many threads of our culture, a collective work of the imagination whose making never ends. They are a rich source of inspiration, presented as Quick Response Codes. To balance the rationality of text and code, QR colors are based on random numbers, and figure/ground ambiguity may intrude. The two facets are occasionally linked by substitution ciphers which reference the text but are not directly intelligible. The images are not usually comprehensible from a purely visual standpoint; reference to the source text is essential. The challenge is how to bridge the possibly fundamental incompatibility of words and art, to integrate textual meaning and visual impact, while celebrating The Americans. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/scream-until-you-cant monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/78c044ef-0a6d-4d7a-93cc-565877f5454f/IMG_2568.png SUMMER 2026 - Scream Until You Can’t - Make it stand out Kyle’s works are modern abstract and character art, drawn or painted, using his preferred mediums: ink; pencil, charcoal and colored; paint, acrylic, gouache and watercolor, and chalk. Kyle has also leveraged his design technique to reimagine logos for nonprofit and for-profit businesses. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/hum monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b25bb63b-02f3-443f-b5d0-a806e3460f97/Atyim_Hum_inkaluminumtapepaper_22x30in.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Hum - Make it stand out Hum is a field of quiet vibration. Repeated circular forms create a shifting structure that moves between cohesion and fragmentation. From a distance, the image reads as a unified atmosphere; up close, it dissolves into discrete reflective elements that respond to light and movement. The aluminum tape acts as a fractured mirror—reflecting, diffusing, and interrupting vision. These small interruptions generate a visual “hum,” a low-frequency presence that parallels the conditions of being human: bodily awareness, memory, and the underlying tension of mortality. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/she-holds-the-universe monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9529cb0d-0b1d-495f-9283-aac9da61dc9a/file_00000000e014722fb27daa912dc784ce.jpg SUMMER 2026 - She Holds the Universe - Make it stand out “I am a Navy veteran with a background in cybersecurity and healthcare. I am a self-taught mixed media artist. Art serves as a great creative outlet for me and a way to process my innermost feelings and emotional turmoil. This piece is about what it feels like to carry everything at once. What’s going on inside you and everything happening around you. The silhouette is meant to feel grounded, even though the space around her is chaotic and constantly moving. It has a lot of layers and texture so the background feels chaotic, but she still holds her place in it. For me, this is about strength that isn’t loud, just continues, even when things feel heavy or unclear.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/past-love monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ca6399f3-27a4-42b3-84bd-b2d353af9a36/pixelcut-export-%2817%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Past Love - Make it stand out Lee is a philosophical artist who have spent an equal amount of time studying the philosophy of Art alongside the techniques of making art. Influenced by the abstract artists of the 1950's, Lee has adopted the idea of making art from the subconscious-often conceptualizing the artwork in real time as it is being made. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/falling-leaves monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4d3dce6e-09db-4006-9b22-3c64d1c1d331/IMG_0704.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Falling Leaves - Make it stand out Sensation is often relevant in painting rather than thought.

Born in New York to Waldorf School educators, Josh's early years were shaped by a profound cross-cultural experience when his family relocated to Johannesburg, South Africa in the early 1980s. Upon returning to the United States, Josh has lived in New York, Massachusetts, and New Mexico before ultimately settling in Los Angeles, where he spent over two decades. There, he formally studied 3D animation and design, developing a distinctive artistic language that diverged from traditional animation and gravitated toward surreal and abstract expressions. Josh’s visual style is characterized by using transparent materials, neon lighting, and reflective surfaces—elements that align with digital art and layered mixed-media collage. His creations delve into the tension between organic life and artificial systems, addressing themes such as the climate crisis, bio-mechanical lifeforms, and the erosion of natural ecosystems in the digital age. Professionally, Josh has held roles in facilities operations, film marketing, and human resources, which have all enriched his perspective and narrative approach as an artist. He recently relocated to Clara City, Minnesota, where he continues to develop his practice and produces work that challenges, captivates, and envisions alternative futures. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/salvaged-humans-2 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/df78e7b6-b1c0-4a21-8f5d-295c6625b30f/Salvaged-Humans-2.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Salvaged Humans #2 - Make it stand out “I’ve always been fascinated by salvage yards and the rusted and twisted metal images formed by the detritus of human populations. Some may consider these images unusual subjects for an artist. I find them interesting and beautiful in their own way and receive great satisfaction in painting them.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/black-orchids monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/bf95e7b5-6667-4050-96c9-6084898dac7b/CarolLuc_Black-Orchids.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Black Orchids - Make it stand out “The image of black orchids summons up a sultry evening ripe with beauty, mystery, and a wafting, faint fragrance. Among the most exotic of flowers, orchids can be found worldwide (exception: Antarctica). Whether growing on trees, the ground, or even specialized to bogs and swamps, their beauty and adaptability speak to us about persistence and survival. A couple of years ago I took a workshop at the Chicago Botanic Gardens where we hand-cut origami papers to create orchid illustrations. That inspired me to experiment with creating a “digital cut-paper” orchid design combining Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Using an antique paper for a background, I manipulated the vector layers with tools in Photoshop to achieve the result seen here.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/writers-block monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c54c1047-f102-4beb-8655-69e5957b9a71/writers-block.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Writer's Block - Make it stand out “Oh, I know what I want to say... I want to tell you how I often sit in front of a legal pad or a laptop, anxious to write something clever, useful, entertaining, informative, persuasive, or just plain coherent, only to find myself pouring out long, jangly, meaningless sentences like this one. Longing for the freedom to express myself, I find myself imprisoned by the fear of producing something no one will like or want to read. Are you still reading this?” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/nacho-mess-monster monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0f73f675-cf63-4dde-a6da-0d4eb4b66dae/03.-Nachosl.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Nacho-mess Monster - Make it stand out “My work is an exploration of the world through an investigation of location, representation, perception, taxonomy, and language. The pieces challenge what we know, and how we know it, through an illustration and celebration of cultural mythologies. The subjects are often archetypal depictions focusing on idealized understandings and desires of the subject, rather than their actuality. I think of my sculptures as platonic ideals collaged from a global encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is a place, where in theory all the information in the world is kept in a concise and easy to read format. Much in the same way as a viewer may initially approach my work. Frequently I utilize shifts in scale, transforming everyday objects into vast landscapes, and conversely converting massive objects into toy-sized replicas. Through this macro/micro shift, the work compares experiences with such objects to representations via books and popular culture. Viewing the world though the lens of the absurd, I seek to challenge our cognitive processes, by creating connections between often seemingly disparate topics. Through the use of puns and analogies I create links between seemingly disparate entities via language and categorization. I am interested in how the mind makes connections and fills gaps of information to create a cohesive vision. Even though the vision may be absurd or fantastical, though these explorations I hope to come to a greater understanding of the world, how it is constructed, and why.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/nuclear-waste-mutant-creatures monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/34d59fc6-80fc-4e7f-9421-8054281b08ed/Nuclear-Waste-Mutant-Creatures.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Nuclear Waste Mutant Creatures - Make it stand out "Nuclear Waste: Mutant Creatures," investigates humanity's fears of the unknown and the repercussions of our actions on ecosystems through innovative fabric-making methods. The unpredictable effects of nuclear radiation, which transcend species boundaries, are explored in this collection. While current visible impacts are primarily observed in oceanic mutations, the potential for these effects to extend to humans and animals poses a future fraught with unforeseen consequences. Inspired by a Chinese nuclear radiation expert's research prior to the Fukushima disaster, Li's textile pieces merge unnatural elements with sea debris, creating hybrid forms such as “Skeletal Fish” - a bone fish with a human head. This dystopian collection serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of nuclear radiation and the anxieties surrounding mutant creatures. Through techniques like crochet, smocking, and machine knitting, she depicts a haunting marine environment filled with “Medusa Octopus” (octopus with snake heads), “Skeletal Fish” (human-bone fish), “Sea Glass Beaded Tropical Fish”, etc., awakening a sense of connection to the ocean and the planet. Ultimately, her work aims to provoke reflection on the implications of nuclear radiation while emphasizing the critical need to protect the natural world. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-letter monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0061a16a-72ea-43e1-8462-47824aa0d0bd/The-Letter.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Letter - Make it stand out Ziyi Huang is an oil painter currently living and working in China. His artistic practice investigates the complex relationship between the individual and the environment, simultaneously characterized by strangeness and intimacy. He holds Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Fine Arts from China Academy of Art, and has studied as an exchange student at Maryland Institute College of Art.

I am interested in whether paint can carry the weight of a feeling that hasn't found any other form, and whether a viewer might recognize, in that encounter, something they already know but haven't been able to see.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/silent-night-poem monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/27f25d8a-13e2-4b28-ac66-04bbbfa44e4a/work.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Silent Night Poem - Make it stand out “My work, Silent Night Poem, is a contemplation on the profound stillness found in the high-altitude solitude of Nagqu, Tibet. In this sacred landscape, I sought a dialogue between the eternal presence of the snow-capped mountains and the unrelenting cosmic dance above. The title, directly referencing Li Bai’s classic Chinese verse, grounds my personal journey under the night sky into a broader meditation on introspection and memory. Choosing a vintage Hasselblad 500-series film camera was a deliberate act to slow down the creative process, prioritizing patience and a physical connection to the craft. The resulting star trails are not just visual artifacts of time passing, but a testament to a deep, time-forged communion with the universe. Having been honored with multiple international awards and exhibitions, my practice is an enduring commitment to revealing the intricate beauty of the natural world. This photograph is my quiet, yet powerful, tribute to that unyielding spirit.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/flat-sand-is-boundless monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/5c6c7aed-6664-4881-92f7-6176011f9060/3.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Flat Sand is Boundless - Make it stand out “Video In this work, I reassess the intricate relationship between the environment and human society, delving into the interconnectedness of home, land, technology, and agriculture. At the center of this dialogue are ceramic vegetables, hollow imitations formed by firing the surfaces of real produce coated in mud. Placed in sand, a medium that lacks the capacity to nurture life, these static objects serve as deliberate obstacles that contrast the natural with the artificial. The Roomba’s perception of these forms as obstructions symbolizes our perpetual negotiation with the blurred boundaries between the physical and the virtual. By modifying the machine’s primary function, opening a substantial aperture in its collection box. I have enabled a continuous, two-hour flow of sand. As the Roomba cycles until its power is depleted, the weight of the sand remains constant while its form undergoes perpetual transformation. The patterns etched into the floor evolve with each passing hour, akin to successive layers of human existence on a shared plot of land. While our external environments and societal roles undergo constant flux, our core values and intrinsic essence endure.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/patience monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/01a4aaed-3447-4b25-93f5-c663e5a8ff8a/Patience_View-1.png SUMMER 2026 - Patience - Make it stand out “From moments in time and sensory sensations, I translate these expressions onto the canvas in my art. In the context of the society in which we live where end goals and marks of success are celebrated and glamorized, it is easy to be seduced into chasing an end point of some idealized visual on a canvas. In doing so, there is a grave danger of losing the beauty that exists in the present moment. There is wonder that can be found when we let patience be our guide and follow intuitive flow. I look to study and explore the practice of patience in my work sometimes breaking a piece down into many small component parts. Suspending judgment and creating with an open and free spirit, I look to explore how process itself ultimately translates into something beautifully interconnected without planning or prescribing those connections. It is in practicing patience that we can come to see the beauty that is bigger than the sum of its parts.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/mental-charmer monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/329e139f-8671-4949-8584-735f7b5a1628/Mental_Charmer-Silvia_Viana.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Mental Charmer - Make it stand out Silvia Viana is a Spanish visual artist whose practice is grounded in a strong academic background and an ongoing critical inquiry. Trained in Philosophy (UNED) and Fine Arts (UMH), her work—characterized by vivid color and unsettling iconography—addresses social issues through multiple media, including painting, digital art, collage, video, and illustration, all understood as tools in service of an idea. Through these, she examines the human condition, social justice, and the tensions between the visible and the hidden, positioning her work between the intimate and the collective from a critical and reflective perspective. Her work has been exhibited in cities such as Verona, Seoul, Buenos Aires, and Paris, and has been recognized by institutions including the Cervantes College of Curitiba (Brazil), Global Health 50/50 (United Kingdom), and the Colegio de España in Paris. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/deja-vu monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/09bbbb02-a9c8-4823-acd9-e48c7b74a0fc/IMG_0603.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Deja Vu - Make it stand out “This piece explores the feeling of nostalgia through the imagined memory of a traditional Chinese water town at night. I was drawn to the quiet intimacy of these spaces—where architecture, water, and light come together to create a sense of stillness and reflection. The glowing lanterns serve as both light sources and emotional anchors, symbolizing warmth, memory, and a connection to cultural roots. Rather than depicting a specific place, I approached the scene as a dreamscape—blurring realism with imagination. The softened edges, dark water, and luminous reflections are meant to evoke the way memories fade and distort over time, becoming more atmospheric than literal. Through this work, I aim to capture a moment that feels suspended between past and present, reality and dream—an environment that is both familiar and intangible.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/of-the-sea monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/178e71ad-a66b-48ae-a1a1-fe44ada4c1c3/MarisaMcCarthy_OftheSea_.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Of The Sea - Make it stand out “Through painting I create environments of belonging, where ontologies converge in a point of the American hybrid experience. My work connects figuration with personal archival imagery and memories. Rooted in my Spanish and Indian heritage, I portray experiences of cultural liminality. I depict close friends and family who identify with hybridity and experience what I call “interstitial” identity- ways of existing that are found between grains of sand, that fall between cracks, that are specific and singular, complex and overlooked. My models each experience this state of in-betweenness and un-belonging in relation to race, gender, or sexuality. I approach painting as a method of ethnography in which I negotiate preservation and erasure, activating history and allowing images to persist, transform, and synthesize.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/rikxecoms-rickart-creation-92 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/87fbce70-b90a-4f08-936d-0b03a7f1f7fd/RIKXECOM%27s-RicKART-Creation--92.jpg SUMMER 2026 - RIKXECOM's RicKART Creation # 92 - Make it stand out “RIKXECOM: a late‑life renaissance in motion, shaping the unseen into luminous form. There comes a moment in every life when the story stops being a sequence and becomes a field a field of memory, a field of motion, a field of light that does not illuminate any single object but illuminates everything at once. That moment has not arrived as an ending. It keeps arriving as a widening. The child suspended in the Stryker frame, watching machines breathe, did not know he was learning the first language of his life. The young man tracing telephony cables, memorizing the chromatic code of communication, did not know he was studying the architecture of color. The technician diagnosing circuits, listening to the hum of electrons, did not know he was preparing for a metaphysics of art. The man who crossed the threshold three times and returned each time changed he did not know he was being given the deepest possible instruction in the relationship between light and consciousness. The photographer suspended in the open door of a helicopter, capturing coastline from impossible angles, did not know he was rehearsing for abstraction. The digital sculptor shaping pixels as if they were clay did not know he was preparing to enter latent space. The creative artist guiding algorithms with the sensitivity of a conductor did not know he was becoming a cartographer of the invisible. And yet all of it was one motion. One breath. One continuum. From the first spark to infinite return, light evolves, transforms, and reveals. In that continuum, we are both the journey and the light itself.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/spiraling monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/4ca2ab6c-dc83-44a8-88c6-8929d097a53a/Spiraling.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Spiraling - Make it stand out “Spiraling is the visceral byproduct of reaching my breaking point. My brain needed to explore, to expand, and ultimately, to spin out of control. This piece is reflective of the turbulent, necessary start of a journey that allowed me to finally meet myself—not as a collection of labels, but as a being with the power to heal. It is a visual testament to the mind’s ability to use chaos as a gateway for profound self-understanding.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/love monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/41c5e78b-dd8f-4df7-94f9-07502be1d9d9/Toto-Miqava-Oil-on-plywood-Love-100x70-9.-2026.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Love - Make it stand out “My artistic practice is centered on the development of a personal visual language as an expression of individual perception. Working primarily through abstraction, I explore how form, material, and intuition can function independently of narrative and established symbolism. Influenced by spiritual traditions, material experimentation, and decades of sustained practice, my work resists standardized visual systems and stylistic conformity. Each painting evolves intuitively, allowing inner states, memory, and sensation to shape the image rather than predetermined concepts. In this way, the act of painting becomes an assertion of individualism- an open process that values uncertainty, transformation, and personal truth. I work with encaustic, oil, tempera, and mixed media, treating material as an active presence. Surfaces are layered, disrupted and rebuilt, reflecting the tension between structure and fluidity, permanence and change. Rather than offering fixed meanings, my works invite the viewer into a direct encounter, where perception itself becomes part of the artwork. The search for individualism and the development of my own visual language have always been my primary artistic goal.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/untitled-2 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c5ec4eeb-50d9-4dfb-beeb-c9c31b8ffcec/IMG_8440+%283%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Untitled - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/black-hole monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/34a6aab6-0478-4aa4-add3-a604ab22304e/Black-Hole+%281%29-compressed.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Black Hole - Make it stand out “I am drawn to a moment’s compositional nature of line, texture, tone, lighting, and context that I can envision as an abstract statement that supports a conceptual design of the moment. While we emphasize tonal characteristics that attract our artistic subconscious to interpret a moment, we don’t precisely capture what we feel about a scene. When I create a photograph, I understand that others will find new meanings in it. I maintain awareness of the camera’s influence on capturing an image, and I am careful to understand the camera’s limitations. Then, using developing tools, I try to uncover tonal aspects of an image that bring out undiscovered aspects of its form; the image becomes a design of an encounter with a moment. My photos reflect my environment; they form a record of the scenes where I live and travel that I feel will tell us a little more about how we visually relate to our surroundings.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/diver-dan-meets-queen-minerva monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/991a8e70-9939-4f62-88e0-a35415ab26e9/IMG_7421.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Diver Dan meets Queen Minerva - Make it stand out “This underwater scene was inspired by a children’s television show from the 1960’s.

He was a man who worked outside daily and kept an immaculate lawn. With the added concern of another neighbor, I made the decision to call for a welfare check. He had taken his own life, and I think of him every day. I had my new sign installed on my Little Free Library the day before he took this action.

Her work moves between the personal and the iconic — drawing from lived experience, cultural memory, and the body as both archive and altar. Known for her instinctive eye and tactile process, she blends analog techniques with sharp visual storytelling, creating work that feels both intimate and larger than life. Whether working on skin, fabric, image, or words, Sophie treats each medium as a site of transformation — where softness holds power and beauty is never just surface.

At Syracuse University I painted cut wood shapes layered and large with subject matter on where we live and objects that surround us. Working later, making wood into flat surfaces with edges as the contour of the objects. Over the years the shapes needed definition and got glued into place and fit into a rectangular format. My more matured art emphasizes the line as painted on top of the flat surfaces. With the same visual vocabulary of my youth of taking subject matter and blowing it up into abstraction then breaking it down into bold forms, retaining only the most important line and color hints. I sand, carve, scar the surface harshly leaving raw grain of the wood exposed and vulnerable, other areas thick with paint glazes, wax and varnishes create sensitivity in built up painted areas. My paintings have taken on new confidence in their flat rectangular framed format and the title helps instruct the viewer to share in my line’s deliberate simple boldness.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/helen monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/39b36515-2648-43a7-acaf-691f55d35856/84E75AAB-47AB-419D-980A-7C26F3FB9898_1_105_c.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Helen - Make it stand out “We, Homo sapiens sapiens convey myth throughout history. The Mahabharata, the Bible, the Oedipus cycle are examples of our collective memory. The main focus for our species is to seek or acquire material wealth, power, and sexual conquest. We humans are not unique in this matter as all living things strive to acquire nutrients, mate and not lose their lives. My art explores these desires through life and mythology from the perspective an observer, an outsider, a ‘fly’ on the wall, a doctor who is Autistic. I begin with a memory, an idea, an observation, a sequence of events: the stimulus that generates affects.The key, is the recognition and documenting it. However, this initial idea will be changed, torn apart, constructed and reconfigured, with the assitance of my worldview. Given this, my reative process is a bit of a mystery to me. I am Autistic, and a trained physician whose viewpoint is a concrete, hard scientist. But, I am able to see what others do not by giving a voice to the marginalized who are ignored. I work with acrylic, oil paint on canvas and silverpoint. For me, the true art is the emotion felt by the viewer of the work, and not the painted canvass; transference and counter-transference. This mirroring effect makes the work alive.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/colorful-watcher monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/9a1ec2a5-2527-4f83-b208-cf277ce8117a/IMG_0036.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Colorful Watcher - Make it stand out From the heart of the Midwest, Breanna Nicole Trent had always loved to create, bringing her imaginations to life with her own hands.

Yet, what is expressed through my paintings may not be entirely clear even to me. If I had precise words, I would write. Instead, I paint following a liminal path of discovery - wherever it may lead - through the wonder and the mystery. You are invited to join me there. I believe art is a grand adventure, an exploration into the great unknown: seen or unseen, felt or sensed, dreamed or real. When I paint, I am immersed in the energy and sensations of the process. I begin with a ritual rather than a plan, then with a deep breath I engage the blank canvas. From that first sloppy smear of color or quivering scribble, each piece develops into a pulsating conversation, a give and take between the materials and my hands, guided by intuition. When my focus dims, it's time to question the sum of the parts, to examine the form and line and color and contrast seeking a balanced and organic whole and continuing the quest for resolution. You will notice the history of moves concealed and revealed within each piece: shimmers and shadows of previous layers, soft and hard edges, pivots and u-turns in the trajectory of the work until finally, hours, days, or weeks later, it is complete. And in that wonderful Eureka moment, with a rush of energy and relief, the title reveals itself. So that's what it is! In Other Words still exploring ... feeling the way ... still lost painter working in acrylic known for ongoing SuperPly Series of surreal black and white figures on plywood, and for mysteriously sensual casualist abstract works in full color themes: energy of the felt vs the seen, seeking a sense of place and a way to fit in, if I could write it I would do that but instead I must paint allowing intuition, ritual and process to define the outcome influences: unmoored life moving between continents and states often off balance/on the left foot, paying close attention yet not understanding.

I’m drawn to the tension between structure and flow. This monochrome painting isolates a rhythmic motif from an earlier work. I pared the palette down to black, white, and gray to focus on movement, spacing, and repetition; the sweeping lines began to feel like the pull of string instruments—sound translated into gesture—while the vertical forms hold the composition like a quiet structure.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/kit monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3cb1f34b-c46f-4524-9b39-a3f00f55bca6/IMG_7035.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Kit - Make it stand out “My work is a visualization of how I think. I am drawn to repetition, something that brings a sense of comfort to me, as well as inspiration from the past to create my art. I use acrylic paintings, handmade garments and/or fiber pieces and provocative phrases to express my thoughts, my feelings, my mental health, everything that works it’s way through my mind. My artwork shows how things get connected, how I sort them out, and how I try to cope with and understand it all. I want my work to be used in a similar way. I want people to think and question themselves and society. I want them to do a true internal examination, like how I do when creating these pieces. My hope is my work will, in some way, help the viewer further understand some aspect of their lives.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-nature-of-things monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/925e7391-8a47-433b-a94f-34e6097ce794/L.-Scooter-Morris2021The-Nature-of-Things.jpg SUMMER 2026 - The Nature of Things - Make it stand out “I am a sensory illusionist. I gather the experience of being in a moment, at a place, at a time. I use that information to create a Sculpted Painting. It is the sense of how the light and the color filters through the image and the atmosphere you might be surrounded by at that moment. In that sensory experience also exists as a glimmer of something bigger than we are. Sculpted Paintings® is the integration of color, light and texture with many surface variations and includes, mixed media. I am dedicated to creating a space for open dialog in this moment of evolving change. To create something that is at once beautiful and meaningful.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/twenty-phi-plus monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/962db1bb-67c8-486c-8f5b-53d1b5d462c9/Twenty-PHI-Plus.-8.5-x-11...-180DPI.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Twenty PHI Plus - Make it stand out “The drawing “Twenty PHI” grew out of a dialogue in 1999 between me and my mentor, retired establishment physicist Robert L. Powell, Sr., who was responsible for bringing non-invasive holographic interferometry to the forefront of scientific investigation during his research years. He and I began a geometry centered conversational dialogue in 1989 which rapidly grew into an extended dialogue where we would share our latest geometrical drawings with one another and respond with a newly discovered variation on the theme. Several years after I drew "Twenty PHI" I elected to take the image to a new level of complexity. This new composition, Twenty PHI Plus, highlights where two sets of four identical pairs of regular five-pointed stars share the same center. Each of these four sets/pairs of five-pointed stars are color-coded. One is red. One is blue. Two are yellow. Each larger five-pointed star has nested inside of it an identical, and smaller, five-pointed star; with each smaller star rotated 180 degrees inside of each of the larger companion stars. There is further color-coding in "Twenty PHI Plus" by way of four large concentric circles shaded in blue, yellow, red, and violet. The red and blue color-coded stars have been upgraded with greater emphasis on the North pointing red star and the South pointing blue star. The color coding of these two stars is intended as a variation on the them 'yin/yang'; a theme which is often emphasized in my work. It may be of interest to the reader here that the two twin color-coded diamond shapes have at their centers a small vesica which represents a portal (doorway or window) between two locales. The geometric construction rules laid out by Euclid are adhered to in developing these drawings. The first two points established on the page, the centers of two circles sharing a radius, are key to the development of this composition. Powell’s deeply insightful discovery of the implications of beginning a geometric drawing employing two circles sharing a radius is at the heart of our book: "The REST of Euclid: An Ancient Architecture of Arithmetic and the Modern Theory of Number". We are reminded of Euclid’s Elements; Book One, Proposition One where one is asked to establish an equilateral triangle employing two points on a plane as the genesis of the triangle. When one discovers how an entire plane is calibrated by establishing this initial relationship, a foundation is laid for the possible exploration of infinite symmetry breaking patterns in a two-dimensional plane. One of Powell’s words of warning to me was “You can never see it all.” Years later, after a careful examination of the far-reaching implications of the work we were engaged with, the truth in his words became apparent to me. Several years before his death in 2015, an idea emerged in me to answer a question we had been engaged with for years. That question, simply stated, is “What next?”. Years of my contemplating upon this question has produced a string of clear and well-defined answers that one day might be out-pictured for humankind. Until then, we can consider exploring The REST of Euclid as a map into an unexplored territory of mathematical thinking that can be traced back to ancient Egypt. I wish to suggest here that this drawing is at the heart of a yet-to-be disclosed thesis where I demonstrate a geometrical progression of line segments, beginning with the first line segment being designated as the square root of one, and progressing ad infinitum where each additional line segment shares one common point of origin in a two-dimensional plane. The book 'The REST of Euclid' hints at this possibility.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/waterbucks monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/6532efd4-dedd-43d3-b176-becbbfe02b5b/Vincenzo_Cohen_Waterbucks.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Waterbucks - Make it stand out “My art production revolves around themes related to cultural, social and environmental justice.

Having access to social media and constant sources of news, we regularly hear discouraging stories or alarming statistics about environmental issues. At the same time, we hear stories of incredible advocates who drive change, or of new, groundbreaking technologies. Sometimes, this can feel discouraging, but we must instead feel motivated by these feelings, as change comes from any action, no matter how small.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/philly-special-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/812b4e55-08e2-4dee-a990-f0ec2dc71277/Philly_Special+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Philly Special - Make it stand out “My paintings are a means of connecting – to fond memories of my past, to feelings I’m trying to understand or reconcile, to moments I don’t want to lose, to my dreams and aspirations, and to people, places, and things that inspire me and have formed the essence of who I am. Started drawing as a kid – was fascinated with comic books and fantasy. Would sit for hours trying to replicate Frank Frazetta covers. Drawing meant escape – was turned on by things I couldn’t see, places I haven’t gone to, places that didn’t exist - the "unattainable". Would get so engrossed in drawing my Mother would say, “the house could be burning and you wouldn’t even know it.” Now, it’s the little things around me that draw me to the easel. When I lived away from "home" in Houston a number of years ago, everything was new - loved the Indian paint brushes, blue bells, and other Texas wildflowers. I'd comment, “they don’t have wildflowers like this in PA.” When I moved home, I started to see things through a different perspective. Sure, there are wildflowers – a field loaded with dandelions or crown vetch is beautiful – I just hadn’t truly seen them before. Striving to capture those fleeting moments when I’m fully tuned in to the beauty around me is why I paint.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/elysian-glow monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/0dfd67f3-a02a-43aa-ba5b-31fc5c143d5c/PXL_20260528_2105029992.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Elysian Glow - Make it stand out “I am an artist through and through. I can't go a single day without drawing something. My brain demands that I take time to create something, even if it's just something small, or I can't sleep. I have used this calling to create a large number of different types of art - clay, acrylic paint, alcohol markers, pencil, charcoal, I have made earrings, painted shoes, painted wine bottles, drawn/painted on every type of paper or canvas you can name. I don't know if I have a favorite style. I like so many different mixes of things that it's hard to narrow down. I think that every person and every piece of art work are beautiful in their own way. And maybe you can't see that beauty at first, it may be deeper down, but if you keep trying, eventually that person or that artwork will reveal their beauty to you and you will be in awe. It only requires having an open mind. Portraits are pleasing to me, but also there is no opportunity for creativity usually. Changing anything can turn it into a different person. I love taking a reference and turning it into my own thing. I love when an idea takes me over and I can feel the itch in my fingers and my brain and I can't stop until I make whatever it is that I have to make. I hope people enjoy seeing the things I create and I hope you can see the beauty in all of them, even if it's something that requires you to dig a little deeper.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/unveiling-echoes-1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/46cdebc3-8c07-4707-b595-3c727f61b53f/Echoes-of-Silence+%281%29.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Unveiling Echoes - Make it stand out “For most of my life, I struggled to express what was happening inside of me. My thoughts often felt scattered, overwhelming, and difficult to communicate. There was a constant disconnect between what I felt internally and what I was able to share with the world. This piece represents the journey of uncovering and revealing my true self through art. The dark, folded layers symbolize years of suppressed emotions, confusion, and the mental noise that made it difficult to understand my own voice. Hidden within those layers are fragments of gold, representing the parts of myself that remained buried but never lost their value. Creating art became a way to translate feelings that words could not capture. What once existed as scrambled thoughts and unspoken emotions began to take shape through texture, form, and movement. Through that process, I discovered that self-expression is not about having all the answers, it is about allowing yourself to be seen honestly. This work is a reflection of that transformation. It is not about becoming someone different, but about peeling back the layers that concealed who I was all along. The emergence of gold from the darkness symbolizes self-discovery, acceptance, and the courage to reveal what has always existed beneath the surface. Through art, I found my voice. This piece marks the moment when hidden thoughts become visible, and the true self finally steps forward.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/fraud-in-the-eyes-of-a-liar monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/35109899-025c-46cd-b7b4-8a2b4f205ed2/22Fraud-In-The-Eyes-Of-A-Liar22.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Fraud In The Eyes of A Liar - Make it stand out “My artwork revolves around visibility and what that truly means when existing in systems attempting to diminish it. Through the medium of digital art, I explore different scenarios where identity becomes polarizing, isolating the subject to that experience to raise conversations about societal biases. This specific piece represents orientalism and the policing of South Asian and West Asian culture from a eurocentric perspective. Historically, eurocentric media has a problematic relationship with depictions of other regions, especially in the South and West Asian area. Complex cultures rich with history, innovation and scientific discovery are reduced to one dimensional, exotic fabrications that serve to justify imperialism. These portrayals depict entire countries and populations as uncivilized or mythical, selectively choosing which aspects of culture are acceptable, and which are not. Through these lenses, authentic experiences and expressions of culture get lost, or at worst, are mistaken as fraudulent when they don't align with eurocentric ideals. I wanted this piece to reflect the frustration of a system exerting authority over one’s identity as well as the futility of trying to appeal to the system’s demand." https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/below-the-moon monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ab2dab01-bc11-445e-bce3-31c00c6a5ea6/Below-the-Moon_300dpi_web.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Below the Moon - Make it stand out “I create immersive mixed-media artwork that invites viewers to become storytellers in their own right. Rooted in the belief that art should be accessible, expansive, and emotionally resonant, my work blends traditional techniques with digital innovation to create layered visual experiences. Each piece is crafted to spark imagination, reflection, and dialogue, serving not as a finished narrative, but as an open field for personal interpretation. Rather than conveying a fixed message, I see my role as offering a visual framework, images that emerge from my own subconscious and spiritual explorations. What happens next belongs to the viewer. I invite people to sit with the work, feel into what they’re seeing, and trust their own emotional and intuitive responses. In this way, each person becomes a storyteller, uncovering meaning that is uniquely their own. As a private person, I resist the urge to over-explain or define the meaning behind my work. I believe that doing so risks limiting the very expansiveness I hope to create. My intention is not to make something you either “get” or don’t, but something you can return to, again and again, and find something new each time.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/slave-to-miseducation monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c177df9a-d23e-41aa-bcc3-6afea3ef89b1/20240228_1315362.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Slave to Miseducation - Make it stand out “Art is a universal form of communication that can be understood by all in the past, present, and future. I portray my life, politics, and feelings into my art to be understood by those who may need it. This piece is especially important to me because our education system is constantly being threatened and its important that we the people fight back in any way we know how.

I paint psychological landscapes where abstraction meets figuration, and color becomes architecture for thought. Influenced by Indian metaphysical ideas and post-expressionist form, I translate inner turbulence into visual rhythm. Through dense acrylic layers, scraped textures, and symbolic distortions, I search for balance amid collapse — a meditation on survival and perception. My art is not about depicting chaos but transforming it, turning the fractured human condition into structured emotion. This painting is inspired by the concept of organic burial pods. In this process, a person is buried in a pod that eventually grows into a tree. As time passes, a woodpecker arrives and begins pecking at the tree. This raises intriguing questions: Does the person's soul, now part of the tree, feel pain? Has the person's soul become the soul of the tree?” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/resonance monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/e4a2c83d-2392-4bde-bbf0-e8aa02822d56/Resonance.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Resonance - Make it stand out “I work from a conviction that art transcends figuration to touch something more essential — the profound geometries of nature and the quiet magnitude of existence. My practice is rooted in abstraction, not as a reaction against representation, but as a deliberate pursuit of what lies beneath visible form. A physicist colleague, observing the three-dimensional quality of geometry and pattern I achieve on a two-dimensional surface, coined my style “Vennism” — a term I have since embraced as an apt description of the spatial tensions and layered relationships that define my work. Every piece I create is entirely hand-drawn or hand-painted — no digital tools, no computed shortcuts. Working in ink, watercolor, and gouache on watercolor paper or illustration board, I rely solely on a compass, a ruler, a pencil, and ink pens to frame my compositions. This is not a romantic affectation; it is fundamental to the integrity of the work. The process is methodical and rigorously planned from first mark to last. I think carefully about how each element interacts with every other — from the thinnest white line to the boldest black stripe — understanding that even the smallest decision shapes the emotional and visual weight of the whole. What may appear spontaneous in my work is, in fact, the product of sustained discipline. The controlled entropy of my compositions reflects both a deep attention to detail and a desire to express ideas, emotions, and events with precision. I am interested in the interplay of uniformity and complexity — how the repetition of a carefully constructed pattern can simultaneously feel mathematical and alive. My work explores the tension among order, emergence, and the real, asking viewers to look beyond surface geometry into something less easily named. Nature and theology are abiding presences in my practice. Not necessarily as subject matter to be illustrated, but as structural principles — the fractal patience of growth, the symmetry embedded in living systems, the sense that the visible world is underlaid by invisible laws of tremendous elegance. Art, to me, is a dynamic interplay of perspectives: mine as maker, yours as viewer, and something larger that neither of us fully controls. Through this lens, I aspire to create work that is authentically personal while opening outward into a deeper dialogue about what it means to exist in this particular, extraordinary universe. A graduate of Westminster College of Salt Lake City with a Bachelor of Science in Communication and Art (Magna Cum Laude, 1998), and an expected Master of Divinity and Theology (2026), I maintain studios in Utah and Noblesville, Indiana. My work has been exhibited across the United States and featured in international publications including Artist Talk Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine, and ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal.

Across cultures, the circle symbolized wholeness, eternity, and the cyclical nature of life, marking seasons, organizing communities, and grounding spiritual traditions. Yet as progress accelerates, these symbols quietly vanish. "Constellation Series" seeks to recover and reimagine the circle, not just as geometry, but as a vessel for memory and identity. Each piece meditates on what fades when we stop seeing: a sense of wholeness, continuity, and sacredness circles once invoked. My materials and methods are intentionally pared down: I work almost exclusively with black and white, and build each composition from only the most basic elements—dots and lines. By stripping my visual language to these raw components, I am searching for something universal, beyond style or trend. The simplicity is deceptive; within this vocabulary, I find complex relationships, tensions, and resonances that echo both the clarity and the ambiguities of being human. I use layers of laser-cut wood and careful techniques to create work that evokes both presence and absence, echoing lost meanings while acknowledging the world’s fixation on what’s new. Making each piece is both a ritual and an excavation, recalling what circles meant and what they could still mean for us today. This search is personal. Growing up in Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, and the US—shaped by Buddhist roots and Christian schools—I’ve lived between many worlds. Art-making is how I reconnect with what’s essential and remember the spiritual threads beneath all the noise. This series is a reminder of where I began, and a reflection on the ongoing journey to find belonging. The circles remind me: what’s lost can be found again.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/circle-of-life monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/ccb3b20e-89d8-44a4-9d8c-2b8bf6e54356/circle-of-life.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Circle of Life - Make it stand out “In my digital art, I strive to interpret floral and botanical subjects in an unusual way. For example, I sometimes paint my subject in bold colors. At other times, I portray the colors in soft, subdued tones. On occasion, I add silhouetted shapes from plant-life photography.

By abstracting patterns found in the natural world and exploring bold colors and textures, she creates pieces that invite viewers to look closer and think deeper. Her nature-focused works zoom in on the details (colors, shapes, and patterns) of animals and the environment, removing them from their context to highlight their raw beauty and allow fresh interpretations. Catherine believes art is about interaction, not authorship. She encourages viewers to engage with her work on their terms, whether they feel joy, discomfort, or curiosity. She believes “Ignore the man behind the curtain,” emphasizing the importance of personal connection over the identity of the creator. For Catherine, art is most powerful when it sparks a reaction, starts a conversation, or makes you see the world differently.

My work builds a visual language shaped by symbolism, light, and intentional color. Through this language, I explore the tension between my own questioning nature and the steady rhythms of the natural world—the way light falls across a surface, or how the seasons return with quiet certainty. A central thread in my practice is the exploration of my spiritual life as a Christian artist. I am drawn to Biblical themes of love, faith, and the presence of a higher power, and I seek inventive ways to express these ideas. Light, historically used by painters to signify the Divine, has become one of my most meaningful tools. By studying its behavior and its symbolic history, I weave my beliefs into my work in subtle yet resonant ways. I am an oil painter working in both landscapes and narrative imagery. My current research focuses on how light creates meaning, connection, and emotional resonance. This includes studying historical and contemporary painting techniques and experimenting with both direct and indirect methods to achieve the visual and symbolic effects I seek. Beyond oil paint, I work extensively with acrylics, watercolor, drawing media, and mixed two‑dimensional processes. I am energized by the possibilities that emerge when materials intersect, overlap, or disrupt one another. I also write poetry, which often becomes a companion to my visual work, helping me uncover the emotional and conceptual threads that guide each piece. I create in ways that push me beyond comfort, returning to the easel with a desire to grow, question, and refine. I am drawn to paintings that invite emotional resonance, and I want my own work to offer viewers a moment of pause—a brief space for reflection. Through my aesthetic choices, I aim to reveal beauty, tenderness, and hope, rather than amplify the destructive forces that surround us. I approach my subjects with care and intention, choosing to illuminate the grace within the world rather than the struggle that abounds.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/help-wanted monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/23702384-d66f-4d97-a5f3-0af3e45b585e/Rodriguez_Anthony_HelpWanted.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Help Wanted - Make it stand out “My art is inspired by the quotidian aspects of life, which reflect the cultural and social forces that surround me. My work is also heavily influenced by the cartoons and video games I grew up with, creating a sense of nostalgia that shows up in both the style and tone of what I make. I like the idea that even serious topics can be expressed through humor and lightheartedness—this is how I approach both my art and difficult moments in life. I’m drawn to clay as a medium because it teaches you how to let go. Things don’t always go exactly as planned, and unexpected changes are what make the process of working with clay so dynamic. Instead of fighting this innate unpredictability, I adapt my approach or rework my ideas in ways that better support the piece. I don’t usually sketch out my pieces beforehand. I prefer to dive straight in with a rough 3D image in mind and an openness to seeing how it evolves. Since clay has a life of its own, I stay open to letting the work unfold naturally, allowing it to become what it wants to be. The clay guides, and I follow.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/o-hi-yo monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/b602c36b-878a-454d-a85b-80bd94e3fb0b/Oh-Hi-Yo-6-1122-x-1422-oil-on-linen-panel-2020.jpg SUMMER 2026 - O-Hi-Yo - Make it stand out “I spend weeks on the road--camping, walking, sketching, visualizing. I have followed rivers from mouth to confluence to delta—Rio Grande, Mackenzie, Arkansas, Missouri, Crow’s Nest, Mississippi, and many others. I have traveled from New Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, from the Allegheny National Forest to the canyon lands of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. For 35 years, I have traveled thousands of miles through the United States and Canada, and my work is influenced by the landscape--sky, deserts, mountains, rivers, forests. I return to my studio in Albuquerque to paint. I re-draw sketches onto canvasses, often combining more than one sketch on a canvas. However, the act of painting itself guides me more than the sketch does. The sketch is my starting point. Working in oils on canvas or linen, on one to three canvases at a time, I allow the process of painting and the painting itself to determine the final product. Moving paint around on a canvas brings me pure joy. O-Hi-Yo paintings were inspired by journeys to the Allegheny National Forest, the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers which form the Ohio River, and along the Ohio and Allegheny rivers.

I am fascinated by erosion and weathering—powerful processes that dissolve rock into sand, sculpt sandstone arches, and carve out mesas and canyons. In my work, I reflect on the way that life is a constant cycle of change, exploring organic form, line and an undulating movement that is reminiscent of the sensual curvilinear grace of natural objects and landscapes. I love the sensory experience of handbuilding with coils and slabs of clay. The forces of nature also influence my work as my sculptures are exposed to the transformative powers of wind and fire in the wood kiln. The wood firing leads to surfaces that have depth and subtle variations of texture and color, imparted by the movement of wind and fire through the kiln. The result is a visual and tactile experience in which the surface is inherently integrated with the form.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pixel-rocky monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/a722536c-95d0-4d16-83ea-c39e139a90c1/Rocky-2.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pixel Rocky - Make it stand out “I am a 22 year old amatuer graphic design student. My work is inspired by whimsy aesthetics, calming colors, and subjects I love such as animals, pastels, video games, and cozy comforts. A lot of my inspiration comes from the media I consume, my pets, or gifts I want to curate for specific loved ones. While a majority of my work is digital and design oriented, I also enjoy painting, ceramics, and sculpture. Pixel Rocky is a painting I created as a christmas gift for my father in 2022 of his dog Rocky. The pixelated aspect was inspired by my love of pixel art and 8-bit games. I hand picked a family favorite image, pixelated it, then measured and manually scaled it to the size of the canvas. Rocky unfortunately passed unexpectedly in the beginning of this year, and thus the painting has become a way for the family to memorialize him and remember him fondly.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/childhood-bedroom monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/32c12737-1d5e-4bf8-ba5d-044d4aa8036e/childhoodbedroom.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Childhood Bedroom - Make it stand out Haven is currently studying art in Berlin, working primarily in oil and collage as well as exploring other mediums.

It is a buffer and provides a pause before committing to a particular feeling. It mitigates the adjective about to be used. And finally, it is a reticence to state something with clarity. The adjective in each piece of SO I WAS LIKE…. is portrayed, both in font and background, in such a way as to illuminate the emotion and state of mind involved. And the adjectives themselves were chosen because the words themselves are intrinsically beautiful, and often have meanings both literal and figurative.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/pyones-field-flowers-of-evil-flowers-for-tita-white-irises monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/946483f4-8190-45a3-88e3-5645589215b8/Pyones.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pyones, Field, Flowers of Evil, Flowers for Tita, White Irises - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c9ada3e4-a77e-4728-85e0-7ff824883cb3/Flowers-of-Evil.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pyones, Field, Flowers of Evil, Flowers for Tita, White Irises - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/00bb39de-495c-4bb8-9fd3-a3dda76fef1b/Field.png SUMMER 2026 - Pyones, Field, Flowers of Evil, Flowers for Tita, White Irises - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/7b8e900e-1c20-4f82-92b1-2f3eaa3eff4a/White-irises.png SUMMER 2026 - Pyones, Field, Flowers of Evil, Flowers for Tita, White Irises - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/58cd7e09-6d57-428b-b80a-e998b013baa5/Flower-for-Tita.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Pyones, Field, Flowers of Evil, Flowers for Tita, White Irises - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/this-does-not-define-me monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/3ad78928-8ba0-4945-b24f-80b77d9a6428/Robin_Berning_This_Does_Not_Define_Me_2025.jpg SUMMER 2026 - This Does Not Define Me - Make it stand out “My work explores the intersections of resilience, memory, and connection through fiber and mixed media. Rooted in traditions of macramé and textile craft, I transform natural and industrial materials—cord, wood, metal, organic elements sourced from the landscape—into sculptural forms that evoke both strength and fragility. I am drawn to the tactile and architectural qualities of fiber, using repetition, tension, and scale to create immersive works that invite touch, reflection, and interaction. Each piece becomes a visual metaphor for endurance and transformation, often inspired by the desert landscape of Arizona and the stories of community that shape it. Whether creating intimate wall hangings or life-size interactive wings, my goal is to blur the line between viewer and artwork, encouraging participation and dialogue. By reimagining traditional craft in contemporary contexts, I seek to honor heritage while pushing boundaries, crafting work that embodies beauty, strength, and the shared human experience.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/thorn-of-hearts monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/d4210779-943a-4001-a7f5-2403a4d7bc33/IMG_9997.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Thorn of Hearts - Make it stand out “Thorn of hearts is inspired by the sacred heart in a realism high contrast stippling style mixed with American traditional on hot pressed water color paper with acrylic inks.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/king-kong monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/c14dee72-10ba-486d-9e4c-bd41bf26539f/Screenshot_20250816-200831.Clip-Studio.jpg SUMMER 2026 - King Kong - Make it stand out This striking piece, painted on a Hahnemühle sheet mounted on wood, captures the raw intensity and mystique of a gorilla’s face—evoking the legendary presence of King Kong. The artwork blends realistic sketching with digital abstraction, using pixelated distortions and earthy tones to create a sense of fragmentation and depth. The gorilla’s contemplative gaze pierces through the chaos, symbolizing power, vulnerability, and primal emotion. The peach-toned background contrasts with the dark overlays, enhancing the visual tension and making the central figure stand out with commanding presence. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/the-weight-of-presence monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/f3bc66ad-9309-493b-bc34-a7b1563f734b/1000006747+%281%29.png SUMMER 2026 - The Weight Of Presence - Make it stand out “For this Exhibition, my work explores 'Presence' as a psychological anchor. I am fascinated by the way a portrait can command a viewer's space, acting as a vessel for both the subject's inmediate reality and the lingering echoes of a memory. To translate this experience onto paper, I utilise a specialised watercolour methodology. I begin with an atmospheric wet-on-wet technique for the background, creating a fluid, dreamlike environment where edges are blurred and colours blend. This represents the 'feeling' of nostalgia-the hazy, non-linear nature of our inner landscape. Over this, I apply layered glazes and a sharp dry-brush method to pull the focal point into crystalline focus. In 'The Weight of Presence', I used deep indigo and blue-toned shadows to ground the skin-tones, creating a high contrast visual hierarchy. This contrast forces the viewer to reconcile the softness of the environment with the absolute clarity of the subject's gaze. My goal is to invite the viewer to slow down and find their own senses of stillness within the layers of pigment, acknowledging the beauty in the balance between what is lost to time and what remains vividly, undeniably present.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/she-is-here monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/8b879e9f-d3bc-4510-974a-905393ca1eb0/She-is-Here.jpg SUMMER 2026 - She Is Here - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/blue-like-the-sky monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/edad9af5-50d9-4c57-8b08-1164ab20872a/Blue-like-the-Sky_20231112_161453.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Blue Like The Sky - Make it stand out “In a time where only one form of human is alleged to be correct, I look for ways to show that what matters is not superficial. I want to look at things taken for granted, people ignored, conditions tolerated. For the ones who walk away from Omelas, I’ll draw maps from nature, from your gravitas, from the things we can’t say, don’t think to say, because they’re not visible. Make them visible.

My work is modern and colorful, brought to life through the use of acrylic paint. With a layering technique, I craft depth and dimension that captures the eye. My approach is characterized by quick brushstrokes and the use of various painting tools. The selection of subject matter is an intuitive process, where the scene chooses me, rather than the other way around. I find myself drawn to certain environments and moments compelled to translate their essence onto the canvas. I am happiest creating highly colorful abstract shapes the viewer to my work.When creating a piece of art I become one with the artwork.

I often return to the sense of solitude and wonder I felt growing up within a vast, untamed landscape. That environment left a lasting imprint on me, especially during a period of personal transition: moving from New York to Virginia to live with my grandparents while my father was away at sea and my mother was ill. Experiences of absence and displacement continue to inform my practice, shaping how I approach embodiment, recollection, and longing. Working across immersive video and hybrid, process-based painting that often incorporates photography, I am drawn to spaces where materiality meets absence and where the personal overlaps with the collective. Influenced by art history, speculative fiction, and emerging technologies, I use my work to imagine alternate futures while holding space for what has been lost, transformed, or only partially remembered. The Wilderness extends these concerns through a meditation on the relationship between place, lived experience, and human emotion. As we return to a site over time, experience reshapes it. Layers of recollection accumulate in the landscape, while the land itself scripts new forms of remembering. In this way, a place becomes a depository of feeling that shifts and dissolves alongside environmental change. Duration is understood not as linear chronology but as a process of accumulation and erosion, revealed through slow looking, repetition, and return. Through repeated visits to the same site, including field recordings captured exactly one year apart, the work allows duration to register as both recurrence and change. Across this work, landscapes function as quiet witnesses, holding traces of prior presence while registering the effects of weather, time, and human intervention. I explore presence and absence as carriers of meaning, forms of communication that gesture toward what persists just beyond visibility. The environments I engage are not passive settings but living systems that respond, adapt, and retain, shaping consciousness as much as they are shaped by it. Attending to cycles of decay, regrowth, erosion, and care, my work values forms of knowledge rooted in observation, listening, and sustained attention. Within this framework, I question inherited hierarchies between nature and culture, permanence and vulnerability, allowing for more interdependent and embodied ways of understanding the land to emerge. In video, I work with saturated overlays to heighten these tensions, emphasizing trace, atmosphere, and subtle shifts over spectacle. What is revealed and what is obscured reflects the fragility of both ecological and emotional systems under pressure. Through The Wilderness, I consider landscapes and bodies as sites of transmission shaped by climate, duration, and memory. The images function as quiet messages, carrying echoes of past and future narratives and inviting viewers into a slower, more attentive relationship with the environments they inhabit.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/where-the-light-entered monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/41b3f070-305c-40c3-964c-9606689b513a/Vadala_Where_Th_Light_Entered_082026.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Where the Light Entered - Make it stand out “From the boldest cries to the softest melodies, each piece I create is a raw expression of emotion. Music has long shaped my creative identity, but after a life-changing accident in 2017, painting emerged as a way for me to cope with physical and emotional pain. Inspired by my daughters and driven by the determination to keep moving forward, my work reflects survival and the transformative power of self-expression. Through painting, I have learned to move pain, sorrow, and struggle toward moments of healing, peace, and insight. My canvas becomes a space for confrontation and release, guided by instinct rather than formula. I am drawn to the tension between rupture and renewal - the moments when we bend without breaking, when darkness does not vanish but simply changes form. Through texture, movement, and layering, I explore the dualities within us all: strength and weakness, chaos and composure, concealment and exposure. In doing so, I acknowledge what remains beyond my control while honoring the beauty that can emerge from adversity. My intention is not perfection, but connection - to turn what is felt into something seen. My paintings are personal, yet open enough to invite others to discover their own meaning within them. Though I cannot return to who I was before, I have rebuilt myself through artistic exploration. What began as survival is now my method, my philosophy, and my vision: Unfiltered. Unbound. Free.” https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/blinded-by-luv monthly 0.5 2026-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/42c722a3-573a-440e-a527-4df4c02b06f7/blinded-by-luv.jpg SUMMER 2026 - Blinded by Luv - Make it stand out “Seeing life through rose colored glasses can leave you vulnerable to deception.

This water-based mixed media painting on a canvas found on the curb is reminiscent of a sea topography and its biodiversity affected by plastic pollution, high temperatures and by the overall ecosystem degradation, where red and black symbolize “contamination”, affecting the otherwise blue, healthy water and sea life. About me: I am an academically-trained scientist turned artist, curator and activist on a quest to inspire urgent action for the environmental crisis, continuously seeking more environmentally sustainable art practices.

Originally rendered in neutral tones, these X-rays are digitally transformed into layered compositions of luminous color. This work is distinct within the series. It captures a precise and intimate moment: a veterinarian mid-procedure, surgical needle and gauze in hand, stitching an animal. The image suspends time, holding in tension both vulnerability and care, intervention and healing. The piece resists easy classification. It is not a portrait, yet it speaks to identity. It is not a landscape, yet its layered radiographic forms that suggest the rhythms of living systems. This artwork inhabits a space between tradition and transformation, dissolving boundaries between photography and digital art, medicine and metaphor. In doing so, it quietly questions the relationship between humans and animals, suggesting a shared corporeality and mutual dependence. Rooted in the tradition of medical humanism, A Stitch in Time invites viewers to look beyond the diagnostic image and recognize the symbolic, emotional, and existential dimensions embedded within the body.

Each piece begins with an acrylic base to establish the mood and light of the sky and earth. I then use white ink to draw directly onto the painted surface, a technique that grants me the precision necessary to capture the complex architecture of trees. As a lifelong lover of poetry, and quotations I incorporate verses into the composition, allowing the text to merge with the visual elements.

The form, shaped from the deformations within my own body, materializes my personal experience and the uniqueness of existence. Every curve, every void, every touch conveys the significance that our differences bring and the multilayered nature of being. The piece invites the viewer not only to look, but to feel and reflect, for existence is not merely a physical presence, but also the way we touch the world through our individuality. In this work, our flaws, boundaries, and differences leave valuable traces; each viewer adds a new dimension of meaning through their own experience, revealing a shared truth: to exist is, in every way, unique, courageous, and beautiful. https://www.pjasmag.org/summer-2026/home-calling monthly 0.5 2026-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6661dd61f4a0184e2a4b87cc/2e7f95be-5930-4bb4-877b-f22214bcbd18/Home+calling.png SUMMER 2026 - Home Calling - Make it stand out Famiya Khan’s practice explores the shifting relationship between the self and the spaces it occupies—spaces that feel at once familiar and estranged. Working across photography, illustration, and collage, she constructs layered visual narratives that reflect experiences of disorientation and the quiet longing for belonging. Her process often begins with photographic fragments, which are reassembled into compositions that blur the boundary between reality and imagination. Through subtle gradients, softened textures, and atmospheric tones, her work evokes a suspended, almost dreamlike temporality. Rooted in personal memory and diasporic sensibilities, Khan’s work resists fixed meanings, instead inviting open-ended interpretation.
