These decorative prints are an homage to nature: flowers and birds. Traditionally, flowers symbolize decadence and the transitory nature of life. Ephemeral flowers become eternal in a photograph, the essence of their beauty and light captured with a camera. Turning flowers and birds into eye-catching, decorative objects immortalizes them. This print is a cross-disciplinary fusion of digital photography and traditional intaglio printmaking. With an intaglio or etching, colorful flowers and birds become monochromatic. Nature is eternal, but observed moments are fleeting, the changing light captured by photography. How does a photographer represent them in some way that is different from the infinite number of representations that have come before? The nature of printmaking, which existed long before photography, suggests an ephemeral moment fixed in time, striking a monochromatic note that makes the viewer pause to observe it.

I go there often since I read the book, The Hidden Lives of Trees by Peter Wohllben. This world lives alongside our commercial world. Litter from the commercial world abounds. Is the handkerchief a hindrance to this natural life or will a bird use it in a nest? Is man a hindrance to nature or are we meant to work together?Gauze, bespoke 3D leaves, acrylic, oil on board

Every weekend I love hiking in the woods. One of my favorite hikes passes through wonderful gardens, and I cannot help myself but keep taking pictures of the beauties I find there. Flowers were always my most successful paintings, and to this day, I love painting flowers. I can employ the rich colors I love, and create paintings with intricate, interlocking patterns that nerveless result in a harmonious whole.

My garden is full of inspiration but this bloom was almost fading.

On the Border is an etching based on an original landscape drawing done of a creek that marks the border between two states. Reflection following an unexpected illness in late fall prompted me to return to etching copper plates, the metal that first attracted me to printmaking. A harder substance that requires slow-biting ferric acid, copper draws out the production process but allows the artist to work in greater detail and delve deeper into the quality of line. The result is always worth the wait. Copper creates its own magical world, a visual link to printmakers of the past.

This causes a magical flow, embodying fun, playfulness, and spiritual energy. This can be healing, by holding you in the present moment to enjoy that magic, be enthralled, look within, and be charmed so you forget the world’s challenges.Layered Fused Glass

Working in encaustic media is always a process of exploration and experimentation with frequent nice surprises. One has to be willing to allow the unexpected to reign, to relax control. Then the nature of the wax and the pure pigments reveal themselves without artificial constraint. Flowing wax and brilliant color dominate.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.In my paintings, I use concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to explore the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. My artistic goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer. I call these works "Mindscapes". My influences come from everywhere, other art forms, the directness of child’ art, past experiences, and current social situations. I want my painting to be fresh, and direct and engage the viewer in interpretation. This work is upbeat and joyful, full of contrasting shapes and bright colors with an exciting world beneath the horizon.Acrylic on paper 12 x 9"

I was drawn in by the peaceful expression of this man and was inspired to capture this mood on paper. Charcoal seemed best for the look I was going for so I started with a light drawing on MiTeintes and filled in the darker areas with charcoal, lifting with a kneaded eraser where needed to render the features as well as I could. I added a few final touches in white pencil. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.9 x 10.5"Charcoal and charcoal pencil on grey MiTeintes

Everything seems so tense these days. There is so much stress, uncertainty, animosity, and a general fear of the future, the likes of which is a new experience in my life. It’s not just me though, everyone around me appears to be in the same situation. I am now seeking peace and calmness wherever I can find it, in hopes of offsetting all the negativity and worry about where we are all headed. I find that I can still find peace in nature, in beautiful undisturbed landscapes, and in the philosophy of acceptance, for those things that you cannot change in your life. When I sit calmly to paint these scenes it fosters serenity. My hope is that those who view the paintings obtain a sense of tranquility too.

My inspiration was the beauty of the sunflower fields in Provence. The French so artfully place an object in a field of beauty so that artists like me will be inspired.

During COVID, her subjects focused on the day-to-day objects in her home and Capitol Hill neighborhood. She honed her skills with online digital photography courses focusing on light, composition, and color, with thematic challenges to sharpen her skills of observation and creativity. Her work includes subjects from her domestic and international travels. Major interests include architecture, interiors, street scenes, plant life, landscapes, skyscapes, daily life, and reflections. She uses her cellphone camera, which is always with her, for her photos.Photography 14 x 10"

I am an abstract painter, and I work primarily in watercolors with mixed media elements, such as acrylic ink, water-soluble pencils, and collage. I’m inspired by the interplay of colors, shapes, and uneven lines, and I love the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor paints. Layering an unexpected mix of materials to create a cohesive whole gives me endless possibilities for creative expression. I work very intuitively: I always have a starting point - a particular color combination or focal point - but then I just go wherever inspiration leads me, often surprising myself! My artwork is often influenced by nature, and I find myself particularly drawn to loose rounded shapes, which have become a recurring motif in much of my work. These organic shapes might take the form of stones, eggs, or nests, and they speak to me of wholeness, resilience, buoyancy, and harmony. They feel like home.

Every summer we would stay on the bluff overlooking the Skidaway River. On the incoming tide, we would put on our bathing suits and our tennies to go swimming in the river. But you had to be careful not to get cut by the oysters and the Spartina grass. That and rowing the bateau out to catch crabs and play with the dolphins was the best.

The word 'Raku' means enjoyment. The figure here is a portrait of my mother, the "Garden Lady." Her head is slightly uplifted, eyes and mouth smiling. Hummingbirds, a dragonfly, a daisy, and gardenia flowers, all symbols of joy adorn the figure. The crackle glaze is a natural result of the quick firing and cooling.Raku fired ceramics with underglazes 9.75 x 9 x 6"

My paintings often incorporate dramatic light and perspective to expose the craft and subtle colors of easily overlooked elements of the urban environment. For example, Drain Pipe, Henry Hudson Parkway is a detail of a structure I have painted many times in many lights. This small painting captures a quiet sunset moment under the parkway looking across the river.Oil on canvas 8 x 6"

My art is a celebration of spontaneity and the beauty that emerges from controlled chaos. Using collage with a limited color palette, I layer and then intentionally disrupt, often scrubbing under running water to reveal the unexpected. This process of destruction and revelation brings about surprises that I cherish. I then enhance these emergent images with a pop of color or drama to capture moments of vibrant contrast and harmony. Each piece evolves organically, blending intention with the unpredictable to create compositions that reflect the dynamic energy of creation itself. Through this exploration, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the layers of my artistic journey.

I work intuitively, building up and sanding away many layers of paint, collage, and mark-making until I feel the painting is resolved. Bermuda Triangle was created during the pandemic at a time of high stress and anxiety. As with all my work, this piece is a reflection of my emotional landscape at the time. My creative process is a search for truth, but also for peace and resolution.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.8 x 10" Painting is how I share my emotional connection to the rural landscape and my lifelong love of horses and hounds. I work exclusively in traditional oils and place an intense focus on “light” and “motion.” All of these – wildlife, equine sports, and landscapes – have a unique personality that I strive to capture: The stillness of water, or its lively streaming. The boisterous bounding of hounds, or the dignified stride of horse and rider. Each painting unfolds its own story in color and light—and hopefully, conveys a timeless emotion, too. My work is collected nationally. I am an artist member of the Salmagundi Club in NYC, a signature member of the American Academy of Equine Art, and an associate member of both NAWA and AIS.Oil on linen board

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.10.5 x 10.5" My purpose in making art is to touch the ineffable, to go beyond words into the deep belly of creativity. It is to meet myself in the wellspring and have a conversation with the viewer, to communicate in a deep and intimate way at first sight, in an instant. I strive only to be in harmony with each line, each splash of color and splatter of ink as it strikes the painting surface, to reveal what is already there. The experience of making marks gets truly exciting when I resist the impulse to name what I’m seeing take shape and open myself up to the possibility of not knowing, of just seeing and experiencing whatever is in front of me – what it is saying, what it is becoming. To let it do me rather than me do it.Monoprint using a milk carton as the plate

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.My art is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and my creative expression. Our planet and its elements are in a delicate balance, we hold the outcome in our hands by how we can prevent worsening climate change. Our land is constantly transforming and as our planet continues to warm, we see these effects more profound and rapid. I see inspiration in the beauty of the ocean, as well as the elements of the planet in its organic and abstract nature. My paintings represent the changing seas, land, and Earth’s balance. I am creating a story of our planet, a story we are writing, the history we are making, and the future we will be living. In my paintings, I use a mixture of mediums to create illuminating and transparent effects. I work with acrylic and oil, pigment powders, ink, and gold leaf markers.acrylic, gold leaf, ink on board 14 x 14"

As an artist, I work with paint, canvas, cloth, clay, wood, and found objects to create pieces that make the materials part of the subject matter. Whether abstract or figurative, my work will often integrate tactility into its design, but it is not the product of a conscious or intellectual plan; I believe I work within an intuitive context, as though the imagery springs directly from the unconscious in the manner of automatic writing. I feel deeply the mystery of things. As Martin Heidegger said, the fundamental question is Why are there Things? I feel that the things I create, like Baudelaire’s forest of symbols, look at me with comprehending eyes.

Richard Serra's monumental, subtle, and astonishing steel sculptures in the Bilbao Guggenheim left an indelible impression on me.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.14 x 11" In my artwork, I capture the simple beauty in the natural environment, providing moments of serenity. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. This image was originally captured with infrared film; the negative was subsequently scanned and transformed into a digital negative. I then contact-printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th-century idyllic landscapes, and lending a poetic quality to the image.Platinum/palladium photography

This sculpture was formed by my blowing up a balloon and wrapping wafer think porcelain around it; then detailing it with 23k gold leaf. I titled it Clare De Lune as it is meant to recall the light we so often see on the side of the moon. It is part of a small series I've created in keeping with my nature theme. I used a particularly translucent porcelain to achieve the effect. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.8.5 x 6 x 4.5"Ceramics

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.I am a New York-based painter working in oils, gouache, and watercolor. I paint places, people, and things that are dear to my heart, collecting and distilling the images from memory or my photographs. I use my intuitive sense of color and composition to reflect my emotional relationship to the subject. In my abstract work, I create mandalas and other patterns in sacred geometry which I find mediative and centering. I paint on linen, canvas, and wood panels mostly within the satisfying limitations of a square. My paintings often reveal quiet moments that reflect my desire to counter the vicissitudes of the daily news and one's life experiences. I paint because I love the materials and to express and uncover my relationship with the subject matter.Oil on board 10 x 10"

“Illumine” is part of a body of work (“Remembered Land”) which is inspired by my distant memories of the beautiful English countryside of my childhood - the numinous mood and atmosphere that I sensed as a child, the feeling of transcendental harmony with the natural world, and the eternal lacuna between memory and myth. “Illumine” goes beyond what we see with the naked eye, embracing the philosophy of tonalist pictorialism. Elements of emotionalism and romanticism emphasize expression, mood, and mystery through the use of color, light, shadow, soft focus, and atmospheric perspective. As an Atelier trained, multi-disciplinary artist who practices both hand-made chemical photography and the classical painting techniques of the old masters, my work goes beyond literal representation, embracing painterly darkroom techniques and pallets to deeply express nostalgic feelings about my homeland and its larger-than-life amber presence in my mind.

While my father was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, he lived with our family for six years. We kept him out of a nursing home as long as possible, until the last year necessitated it, even though he had the long-term insurance coverage to be in one longer. This was his first stay in a nursing home during an extended family vacation. Nursing homes had always seemed to me in the past, to be places where people became invisible and ignored by family, so our need to place him there during this first temporary stay was very upsetting to me...plus that night he was running a low-grade fever from a sinus infection and wasn't feeling well. I took a series of photos and re-composed his image with others in the waiting room in wheelchairs, placed behind him. I soon learned that people may need to have this extra help, no matter how distasteful the prospect.
