My series of "adobe" images uses commonly found objects (scraps of paper, pieces of fabric, nets from vegetable bags) to create images of beauty. My colors are reminiscent of trips to the western United States, reminding me of days spent in the beautiful images that can be found around us each and every day. I work in the abstract to invite the viewer to use their imagination to enter into my world, and participate in the beauty that I hope to capture. My goal is to reflect the joy and peace that I find in creativity. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.4.75 x 6.75"

In Heart to Heart Tea Talk, I explore the idea of connections that bind us as humans and invoke memories of past and present. The painting is an invitation to remember a special time as you perhaps had a tea party or shared a warm cup of something with a dear one. It was created during a time of turmoil to escape, meditate and process all that was happening in the world. They build and reveal themselves as I add traces of lace as a symbol of nurturing. I scan, print and collage handwriting, and add more layers to create a rich surface.

My work is representational though interpretive. I want the viewer to move between planes and have begun to layer using several techniques and medium to achieve this. Our eyes are constantly focusing, refocusing and readjusting as we view the world around us and I try to manipulate this effect through my work. I see energy in our surroundings. I am striving to transfer that immediate ‘colpo di fulmine’, that ‘love at first site’ onto my canvas or paper as I work on 2-3 pieces at the same time, moving from one piece to the next.

I'm Tasha Branham, a NJ-based artist, practicing contemporary multidisciplinary art influenced by Henri Matisse. Using epoxy resin, wood, acrylics, and more, I fuse mediums to convey storytelling, faith, and hope, aiming to encourage joy and healing. Inspired by God's grace, I parallel Black women with elegant flowers, striving to inspire joy and reconnect viewers with their imagination. My work has been featured in "Journey of Surprises" and displayed at Marcus Samuelsson LIVE! Bar and Grille in East Rutherford, NJ.

Coming Soon is part of the ongoing series of Bog Bodies I started in 2008. While exploring the theme of Bog Bodies and the constant cycle of all organisms, our impact on the environment and daily living took me on a side road to look for more. Water is the most important part of keeping everything alive, and my theme flowing. But when nature takes a turn and brings drought, it leaves an imprint on my ideas. And my ideas affect every single aspect of my life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.5 x 5"acrylic & oil on canvas

My work is about sky. We live in the sky, usually at ground level, and it is the most volatile and vibrant part of our world, our every next breath. Refracturing cuts and reassembling the image into the pieces we focus on before our mind stitches it back together to one scene. My addition of poetry that I write for the skyscape guides the user to the feeling behind the painting. Sunset brought the proof, this was a beautiful day, it ended in gold.

SoldPainting en plein air, in Rhinecliff, on the shore of the Hudson, by the tracks where Lincoln's death train passed, I make my humble, everyday watercolor and consider carefully the way that two lines of infinite length seem to connect on the horizon, I think of the thousands and thousands of young men who died all can be equal in America. I seem to see the ghost of Lincoln, shimmering on the event horizon, "With the tolling tolling bells' perpetual clang, Here, coffin that slowly passes, I give you my sprig of lilac." - Walt Whitman I turn to the East and see an everyday field, no big stuff, nothing picturesque. My heart is in tears, exquisite America, I love you. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.24 x 36 x 1"oil, ink on canvas

In Tales of a Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes said: “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.” I take my camera out. I may choose a subject; I may think “that would make a great picture”; I may visit a new place or one I’ve seen before. I want to observe and to present things in a way that causes the viewer to stop and observe. We have the technology to immediately capture whatever is in front of us. The challenge is for people to slow down; to question whether there is only one way to look at something; and to search for new meaning in something they may have seen before.

oil on panel 12 x 16" 2023 My work has been described as Contemporary Impressionism and is inspired by the beauty I see around me everyday. Sometimes the idea for a painting spontaneously presents itself as in plein air painting. I am inspired by the quiet meandering of a river, the vastness of a desert gorge, or the way afternoon sun lights the curve of an arch. Sometimes my paintings are inspired by many impressions and feelings of a place. I use technique to express relationships and create a sense of atmosphere, time and space..

It could manifest as a harmonious composition, a symphony of hues, or a transient observation reverberating with a smoldering emotion's echoes. The impulse to metamorphose this ephemeral vision into a tangible form eclipses my cognitive and emotional terrain, propelling me into creative fervor. In that moment, the world around me dissolves, and I become an alchemist, transmuting the intangible into a visceral, evocative expression that captures the essence of that singular, transcendent experience.oil on canvas

I have been frustrated more than once by finding that a place I need to go to is closed for repairs. Being a longtime midwesterner, there's a certain look the sky gets in winter when you can feel the snow coming, and a particular beauty to the bareness of the trees.watercolor

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.25 x 18 x 1" This work aligns the art of drawing with digital brush strokes and textures with our "everyday" utilitarian tools, while also extending their pop cultural interpretations. It pays homage to the way the Old Masters depicted and interpreted everyday objects. It speaks to a larger paradox within the life/death struggle and contain spiritual energy beyond the subjects themselves.digital drawing fabricated to pigment ink on paper

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.20 x 32 x 2" The world of the people of the streets is stripped down to basic survival, but with a need of self worth, ownership. The grocery cart has become the symbol of that need to show ownership of something, anything. A metaphor for they themselves, cast offs, other peoples throw aways. The carts, battered and bent, with the wonky wheels we hate to get when shopping, they live with it everyday, until the carts themselves are discarded and they become a part of the landscape, the urban landscape, lawn ornaments, trash piling up in vacant lots, bus stations and public parks. Seen and acknowledged by all that pass by, much more so than the people that once used them to transport their worlds.Eastern watercolor/sumi-e on single Shuen rice paper

The glass top table in my living room was so pretty with the flowers from my garden that I just had to capture it with paint. The reflections were quite a challenge.

Although, my cityscapes reflect my particular experiences of places, I try to convey something beyond the personal that will resonate with others, whether it be taking a walk in Brooklyn or taking in a spectacular view in Manhattan.acrylic on canvas

I often collect "stuff" on my walks and use them in my art. They fulfill my need for texture both visual and tactile in my work. The moss in this case is from my photographs and altered in color. The vines represent what is often torn from trees. I think these are natural wonders and I continue to preserve them.acrylic and collage

I hope my art will bring joy to those viewing the paintings and that the viewer will be able to recognize something in themselves that they can identify with.oil on canvas

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.14 x 14" My work captures the subtle lights, reflections and hidden hues on the subjects. I enjoy painting ordinary subjects. These moments are often over-looked by most people passing by. I find it more interesting to bring out the beauty of everyday life than painting something already beatiful. These moments are such as the rainbow light coming through the subway station, or worn stones by the old dock at dusk. The pastel medium allows me to capture moments quickly with bold and pure colors. Timelapse videos of my painting process can be seen on Instagram @fangsullivan.pastel on paper
