Art gives me the canvas … the voice, the potential and possibilities to speak my truth … to write it … to paint it … to draw it … to move with it and beyond it. Perhaps … that which is my vision can make some difference in the larger world of our common humanity. To create is to heal. Mixed-Media Paintings, Encaustics. Drawings, Poetry Books, Jewelry

Zoe Denahy

My landscapes of the East End are a play on color and shape creating an atmosphere as I see it on that particular day. Mood, color, and texture are my primary focus. My paintings capture spatial design stretched out before me as horizontal planes with the horizon line as the place holder or anchor.

Lindsay duPont

My paintings, drawings and collages are made using a quasi logical process balancing simple shape, form, color and texture. A leftover cut out shape becomes a skirt, the skirt becomes the head of a proud tulip and the conversation keeps going. The work is quirky and graphic and longs for an audience so, hope you can come by.

Paula Romanow Etzel

My work reflects the natural world and its relationship with what is man-made. Each can appear vivid and real, yet evolve into something new based on context and perception — often blurring (even blending) parameters between reality and imagination. I am particularly drawn to changes that occur through incidental “lenses” such as clouds, water, shadows, […]

I find inspiration for my work in the garden and familiar landscapes. Ideas and images develop in reverie and on the page. I am moved by color and light, organic composition and growth – and by surprises of medium and process. Sharing studio space (Collective Art Space) adds a rich dynamic to work and life. […]

Sondra Gold

Sondra Gold

The ideas for many of my bronze sculptures come from dance movements. I abstract the dancer and emphasize the movement. The Triangles are an additive process, beginning with two and adding until the sculpture is complete. In all my work, I’m alert to the relationships of planes, line, negative spaces and viewpoint. Envisioning this interaction is what makes it exciting.

Exploring personal relationships through the lens of pop culture imagery, distorted memory and vicarious nostalgia, my work encompasses collage, mixed media, and printmaking. Current pieces use transparent layers of color in acrylic and image transfers to create depth and complexity, enhancing the sense of memory altered, distorted and rewritten through the passage of time.

Carol Herd-Rodriguez

My art is shaped by curiosity, wonder, and the beauty found in the ordinary. Composing art is a contemplative practice. I live in that reflective process. It is the action of making that feeds me, and the finished work forms a tangible result of the process. I intend for the viewer to find a peaceful meditative calm through my work.

Movement, color and a lyrical fun vibe would describe this piece. Most of my work has a certain raw but refined way about them. Sound design, no pun intended. A fan of abstract expressionism and pop art, I try to engage the viewer to see what they want in my work.

Janine Menlove

Flower Power is an exhibition of constructed photography from Janine’s archive of personal photographs. Playing with scale and angle of view, Janine’s photomontages breakdown the boundaries between time and place. The recurring floral motifs mimic objects of magical beauty that, when placed with opposing imagery, create new visual information and narratives in a blend of significance and whimsy.

Lisa Oswald

Lisa Oswald

My monotypes are modern interpretations of the figure. Highly abstracted, somewhat ambiguous and often provocative, my art blurs the line between how we see ourselves versus how others see us. While there are accepted notions of beauty and form, to my eye, there are infinite numbers of ways to represent the power, strength and spirit of women.

David Press

I am dedicated to exploring the possibilities of three-dimensional shapes formed from straight lines. Symmetry makes it easier to suspend a form in midair as the forces pull it in all directions equally. I often concentrate on the creation of shapes that appear to float in space. My recent work has been acrylic but I’m back to working in wood.

Boris Curatolo Rasines

My sculpture begins by investigating the physical properties of materials and finding ways to join, combine or assemble them. I seek forms that convey moods, gestures or concepts and develop them through variations, exploring different alternatives for their interaction and scale. My art is a constant reflection on the character of materials and the possibilities for transforming them into sculpture.

Creating a permanent record of the impermanence of our world fascinates me. Because of this, I have composed studio images of deceased insects, birds and small animals assembled with botanicals. These images speak to the the precarious state of our world. Inspired by Memento Mori, I am honoring and memorialize my subjects whose decline makes their recognition important and poignant.
