137th Annual Exhibition

  • Boy and His Dog Named Moose charcoal on arches paper 22.5 x 28.5 Portraiture is an opportunity to portray light and intriguing form, and explore varied emotive qualities. In portraying individuals at different ages and life stages I engage themes of temporal change, individual vulnerability and human mortality. I reflect moments of inquisitiveness, strength, calm or vulnerability; traces of self-protection and openness; or glimmers of hopefulness, pride and earnestness emerge. As I preserve a moment in the subject’s evolution, I acknowledge the tumultuous forces and inevitable unstoppable sea of change we ride in life. The child’s and his dog’s intent gaze, and the connection, felt in this moment between these friends, are the subjects here. Moose is no longer alive, but the friendship with “his animal brother”, as he called him, is still palpable. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some unarmed truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity and shared experience.

  • Cristo Redentor in Color fiber art 24 x 20 My artistic vision is rooted in the belief that art can exist purely for the sake of art itself, serving to make spaces more beautiful and enrich the environments in which we live. I aim for my work to evoke a sense of enjoyment, intrigue, happiness, and curiosity in those who experience it. My Brazilian heritage deeply influences my use of strong, bold colors, which I incorporate as a vibrant expression of my background. My overarching goal is for my art to be a cause of enjoyment, providing a positive impact on viewers and society by inspiring delight and curiosity. Success and fulfillment in my artistic journey come from creating artworks that I am proud of—pieces that bring me great joy and a sense of accomplishment. Through this evolving and deeply personal process, I hope to continuously connect with others and enrich the spaces we share.

  • Proteus bronze sculpture 12 x 14.25 x 15 Many cultures believean object, anumal or person gains additional attribute by changing forms. The octopus can change shapes or appearances. does shape-shifting ( meaning to change or move)has its origins in ancient myths and legens where gods, spirits and magical beings possesed this ability. In greek mythology, Proteus ,a sea god, possesed this ability. Certainly a positive trait today: to be able or capable of changing-hopefully moving into a positive direction.

  • GoldLeaf acrylic on archival cradle board 24 x 24 I cleaned, dried and applied gold paint to one of a tree's organs (leaf) which acts as a primary food factory for a tree. Humans ought to regard leaves more precious than gold. Tree terpenes are aromatic compounds released by trees, particularly conifers, which offer significant health benefits to humans, including reduced stress, lower inflammation, and improved mood and are natural anti-inflammatories.

  • Where Social Memory Lands charcoal and acrylic on stretched canvas 24 x 24 In "Where Social Memory Lands" a piece from my Layered Gaze series, I investigate how collective imprints are stored and shared using figures and liminal portals to bridge personal narratives and communal experience. My process is an intuitive inquiry into the language of memory. Using charcoal and acrylic, the figures coalesce--sometimes through deliberate marks and other times by emerging from the canvas itself. These forms act as landing points for memories, representing the moments where our private stories meet a shared reality. Through this process, I acknowledge the power of these fleeting, narratives, inviting the viewer into a silent, collective history. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Back to the Sea archival pigment print on paper 24 x 18 I enjoy the discovery of interactions along the shoreline. There are endless possibilities as the tide changes, the weather turns, people come and go. There is freedom and fantasy as you get your toes in the sand and surf. I watched this young boy at play with this magical stick full of barnacles and at last in whatever story he had in mind he returned it respectfully to the sea. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Transmigration acrylic 36 x 60 In progress since 2015, transmigration meditates on death not as an ending, but as a threshold through which time, memory, and spirit continually pass. Transmigration explores grief and reverence, treating time as porous rather than linear, where past and future quietly coexist. I invites you to slow down, to listen for what remains after loss, and to consider passing as an intimate companion to life, shaping how we remember, transform, and endure. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Hot Flashes, 01 acrylic on cast iron pan 16 x 11 My current work is a documentary self-portrait as I go through pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and postpartum. My sculptures, paintings and prints are a direct cry of motherhood pride and fragility. The work’s material properties: fragility, transparency, sturdiness, address the daily balance between vulnerability and stoicism. The work addresses the taboo topics of motherhood and challenges societal perceptions, advocating for the rights and lived experiences of mothers. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Respite oil on panel 13.25 x 11.25 We were on vacation and the more I looked at this sofa the more the cushions drew me in. When we got home I just had to paint it. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • South Florida oil on canvas 18 x 24 In working on my painting "South Florida," I wanted to express my admiration for the natural beauty of this unique place. The rich diversity of flora and fauna. The bright sunlight. The rain washing the leaves of the tropical trees. The expanses of water and golden sand. The combination of the rich greenery, the sun-drenched houses, and the bright blue sky over the turquoise sea, all of this makes this place for me magically captivating. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Life and Death and the Inbetween oil on canvas 48 x 60 My work is informed by indian spiritual thought, mythology and lived experiences. My love for the many expressions of the natural world, such as, plants, animals, birds, appears throughout as symbolic imagery. This painting reflects on the quiet cycles of life- flowers blooming and wilting away, caterpillars becoming moths, moths drawn to light, and waves of thought rising and dissolving. An Introspection on themes of existence and transformation. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Tranquility oil on canvas 24 x 20 I painted this plein air surrounded by the peace of nature in a tranquil state at the start of spring Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Homesick photography: Digitally manipulated 21 x 17 Walking in the East Village, I was struck by the graffiti shouting out HOMESICK on the side of the building. The message can be interpreted in many ways...Longing for home, disappointment in seeing the neighborhood change, or on closer inspection... what is lost, as can be read in the partial message "the buildings we lose, are as important...." The strong statement, the blank white of where the building had been, along with the diagonals underscoring HOMESICK and the painterly weatherworn posters along the wall, come together to create an impactful visual image. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Crossing the Stream oil on canvas 20 x 17 This artist has established a reputation for her authoritative capture of rural landscapes and equine sporting events—foxhunting and wildlife in rich natural landscapes. Her passion and focus lies in capturing the emotionality and timelessness of these traditional subjects, rendered through her unique palette and compelling brushwork. She was a Signature Member and Vice President of the American Academy of Equine Art (now defunct). She is also a member of the Salmagundi Club and AIS (American Impressionist Society), and juries into exhibits with all of these organizations. She is collected nationally. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Vibrant Poppy Glow - Scotland photograph on wrapped canvas 24 x 24 While walking through a Scottish garden, I encountered this extraordinary poppy growing and knew it had to be photographed. In Lightroom, I isolated the flower, blurred and darkened the surrounding garden to pure black, allowing the color and architecture of the bloom to speak without distraction. The ruffled white petals spreading wide against a pure black background draw the eye inward to the magenta-green center — a surprise that rewards the viewer repeatedly. That unexpected burst of color and design at the heart of something so classically simple is what makes this image compelling to me. I photograph flowers the way the Dutch Golden Age masters painted them: as they are, not as we might wish them to be. The shadows falling across these petals are real. The raindrops are real. I do not correct nature's imperfections, because they are not imperfections — they are evidence that this flower lived. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Sunlit Reverie acrylic on illustration board 18 x 23 Sunlit Reverie features the Charles Engelhard Courtyard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is one of my favorite spots to pause in after visiting some of the galleries. The courtyard is a skylit sculpture filled space that one can wander through or just sit in and take in the mise-en-scene. Sunlit Reverie is also an exploration of how light defines perceptions of a physical space and the objects in it.: The limitations and illusory aspect of perception has always intrigued me; specifically, the ambiguity of light and shadow, and how it determines how we see colors, values and forms. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Dreams Rising artbox acrylic glass print 18 x 24 Dreams Rising by NashMith, Photography I found the extraordinary by seeing the ordinary in a new way.

The transformation of small, delicate, uncertain potentials into beautiful realities. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Escape at Dawn ! acrylic with some metallic undertones on gallery wrapped canvas 48 x 48 In a world where we can find ourselves feeling trapped, helpless & bound to an existence we cannot control, we can still reach deep inside ourselves to muster an inner strength…. And find more power than we thought ever possible. And escape from chaos to rise above and soar into a new world…. a new dawn in our lives. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Circles Dance 2 sculpture: piano key parts, plexiglass, plywood, stain 25 x 10 x 10 CIRCLE DANCE 2 began taking form when a friend gave me a bagful of piano keys and parts. The varied shapes and elements led me to create a work that playfully celebrates its patterns and gentle rhythm. I added clear plexiglass rods to give the piece breathing room while contributing to its overall structure. The plywood base serves as a counterpoint to the verticality of the sculpture. The sea green color I chose adds to the work’s quiet flow. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • With Hope of Ending World Hunger mixed media 30 x 24 My Sculptural Painting, “In Hope of Ending World Hunger” was created with this sentiment in mind. My inspiration comes from working in food banks and donating food to those in need, as well as the attention this needy cause deserves. I combined 3- dimensional elements with my oil painted portrait to better bring this portrait with its humanitarian theme to life. Cloth and burlap, sculpted hands that reach out beyond the flat oil painted portrait, and an authentic hand carved bowl from Africa, compel viewers to consider and confront the daunting issue of World Hunger, as we look into mesmerizing eyes that represent 673-783 million people who still go hungry today. Perhaps the image of this piece will foster an appreciation for all we have and be a catalyst for donations of food and funding. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Summer Syncopation watercolor on paper 10 x 8 Life Force was created during my residency in Ireland. While there, I was struck by how alive the land feels...even the stones. We visited many stone circles and I realized that, for centuries, so many others stood before those same stones...and I felt the connection, the shared life force of us all: the stones, the land, the human beings and the animals... and I felt deeply humbled and grateful. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Blooming oil on canvas 26 x 26 I have always been neurodivergent, and that created a lot of self-criticism.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Standing Room Only sculpture: bronze/cast glass 10 x 14 x 8 This piece is the first in a series of sculptures that I plan to create around the theme of extinction.

These pieces are aimed to call attention to shrinking biodiversity and to consider how each of us might bring about positive change. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Sweet Pea collage 16.5 x 16.5 I go out west to Oregon a lot to see my kids. I was there last May and saw sweet peas growing wild all over the hill behind my son’s house.

  • Covid 19 Series Study 3 charcoal, ink, watercolor on paper 16 x 16 Covid 19 Series Study 3 by Linda McCune is a preliminary drawing for a larger work. It contemplates the point in the covid pandemic when humanity all over the world had cheated death and seemed to be trying to find courage even in uncertainty to emerge from their isolation. Some testimony from personal experiences of the physical and emotional barriers, as well as the confusion, and strange hope of this dark span when millions died seems imperative to commit to paper. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Berkshire Afternoon acrylic with pastel and graphite on canvas 32 x 27 The ideas of time and place are explored with nontraditional color palettes and a combination of forms and mark making.

  • Where New Light Rises oil and cold wax on paper 18 x 14 Thickly applied textures evoke seeds of change, while the bright orange symbolizes the burning away of what’s no longer needed. Inspired by the transition from the year of the snake (2025) to the year of the horse (2026), this artwork captures the energy of shedding the old to welcome new beginnings. Full of movement, depth, and a fluid, organic feel, it’s a celebration of transformation and fresh light rising—like the quiet turning of the seasons, where light gently reshapes the landscape within.

  • Color Clique acrylic on gallery edge wrapped canvas 30 x 24 The poetic and gestural beauty of flowers are a consistent source of inspiration.

  • Wild Cyclamen acrylic and charcoal on canvas 23 x 19.5 With a background in the biological sciences and a lifelong love of nature, I seek natural forms and organic shapes in particular. Colour is a very important element of my pieces, and with strong brushstrokes, I aim to capture the energy of the wild places of the world, albeit in the Aruban desert or the tangled undergrowth of the city's parks. My abstract pieces begin life as intuitive markmaking, and with layers of colour they assume a botanical quality as they progress. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Chamber with Centurions #2 acrylic on wood panel 8 x 8 Inspired by Lee Krasner, this collage is made from parts of abandoned paintings. I cut out compositional elements I could salvage from a failed painting on paper and by rearraning them on a fresh surface composed a new work. I like giving an alternative life to select elements that were not in a supportive environment in a previous painting. By releasing selected shapes from a disastrous work, a new painting can emerge. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Spring Trees in Bloom oil on linen mounted on archival substrate 17 x 19 This is a view of tree canopies painted plein air in spring.

  • Garden of Happiness acrylic with pastes on canvas 37 x 37 Although my practice emphasizes abstract expressionism, I often paint florals when I am feeling gray. At the time that I put brush to paint and created Garden of Happiness I was struggling with a health issue. When I was able to get up the energy to face an empty canvas, I visualized sprays of greenery and thought if I could manage to bring out their color, just their sight would help me feel alive again.

  • When It Rains It Pours mixed media on canvas 36 x 36 I used various fabrics, gel medium, and acrylic to create this work, laying out the material first with no particular direction in mind. As with many of my works, the connection to the landscape becomes evident and often serves as a metaphor for what is happening culturally and socially. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Town Asleep oil on canvas 20 x 24 This work originates from the artist’s lived experience in the New England region of the United States, shaped by a sustained perception of small-town environments. Rather than depicting a specific landscape, the painting transforms low-rise, densely arranged architectural structures, repetitive neighborhood order, and a slow, restrained rhythm of life into abstract visual forms. The upper structure presents a stable, almost motionless state, while the lower section retains traces of flow and accumulation, subtly implying the ongoing effects of time, humidity, and memory. The work seeks to capture a state that exists between stillness and latent movement—a small town not yet fully awake. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Beauty in the Worn mixed media with found objects, vintage linen, embroidery, used book cover, drawing and ink. 9 x 12 Beauty in the Worn was inspired by my love of aged materials and the stories they carry. I am drawn to objects that hold a history and a fragility that newer things cannot contain. I find beauty in the tender stories that live in that which has been carried - soften - and - imperfectly preserved. Worn edges, faded surfaces, and delicate textures become part of the narrative speaking to time, touch and memory. This work resonates more deeply with me as I grow older and experience the privilege of aging and the need to preserve my history. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • No Smoking oil on canvas 14 x 14 I don’t have any statement. Artwork should talk by itself. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

He left 3 young children behind but we will never forget his sacrifice. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Magic Forest oil on canvas 32 x 32 My grandparents had a small stand of trees at the end of their property. As children, it seemed to be a magical place full of imagination, dreams and beautiful soft light. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Tropical Fugue fiber art 64 x 61 Tropical Fugue was inspired by memories of Bali. Songbird serenades, expansive skies, and fleeting, cherished moments. My process is rooted in trust and a willingness to surrender control. The real magic unfolds in the midst of making. I embrace spontaneity and the unexpected, allowing fabrics to speak and respond to one another in a vibrant, evolving conversation. For this piece, I began by assembling organic fragments of varying shapes and sizes into intuitive motifs. These forms gradually suggested bird-like presences, emerging as focal points. Set against a white background, I arranged and rearranged these silhouettes, creating rhythm and movement. Surrounding borders were added to frame and contain their energy. Freehand machine quilting became the final layer, adding depth, cohesion, and texture. Each fabric carries its own history, gathered from distant places, its story stitched into the whole. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
