  • photo on transparency construction with lace paper and fabric remnants 18 x 15 x 0.5"
    There is something beautiful about the pure movement of tones between black and white in a photograph that can evoke in the viewer an emotive sensation. I deconstruct and reassemble photographic prints with other materials to allow for new imagery to develop, and I am passionate about the subjects that I work with. Subjects range from photographs of noted artists and writers, found album photos, and family portraits. Ambiguity and familial bond make the work all the more intriguing to me. From a single photograph, multiple images can emerge to portray strength, fragility, beauty, demise and love in a single moment.

  • cast handmade rag paper wall sculpture
    30 x 16 x 2"
    I am inspired by undulating forces of nature: the formation of rocks eroded by wind and water and the shapes of organic forms. My sculpture addresses the interior and exterior of form by abstracting movement, force and tension. I explore the thought process revealing multilevel reflections of my inner self and collaborations between nature and culture. As an artist one of my communicative functions is to create awareness and reflect concerns for the natural world. Human intervention with nature has caused tension. I believe that with awareness, there is hope. Collaboration between nature and culture can effectively illuminate and channel proactive thoughts and change.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • cast handmade paper wall sculpture 96 x 96 x 14" I am fascinated with the topography of landscapes, full of complex lines shapes, colors and textures. I create staged landscapes defined by human presence. With forced perspective I invite the viewer to enter my landscapes of Illusions and fantasy.

    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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • COVID Selfie Soft Pastel on Paper Size of Piece: 18.5 x 12.5 Framed Size: 23.25 x 17.5 In all of my entries, a moment in time is 'archived'...Although watercolor is my primary-medium, I work proficiently in soft- pastel as well, for the two-selfies, which are very direct and bold in technique. The same bold-brushwork and directness in mark-making is in the watercolor, which is interpreted from one of my 1998 photographs of my immigrant-Italian grandmother in her late 70's, (very bold in the markings in her hair) and my adopted Thai daughter, then, age four.

  • oil, charcoal, graphite, aluminum paint on paper 24 x 24"
    I am a abstract landscape painter. The greens of the surrounding lawn set off the blooms in the rose garden. The colors green and red are complements on the color wheel. Within the choices for the color green I went "Veronese Green." A blast of pure cadmium green with that Venetian/Veronese "twist". The red is many reds but mostly pure cadmium red medium and alizarin crimson--sometimes mixed or overlapping, other times almost pure. The "rose garden" is framed by a cadmium yellow deep border and then outlined in aluminum paint. I am excited about this painting: the big singular shape, the colors and the framing to set it all off.

  • oil, charcoal, graphite on paper 26 x 21" For three years I have lived and worked in Dutchess County/Upstate New York. Here I cannot escape--the landscape. The natural environment of the Hudson Valley are triggers: rivers, ponds, mountains, trails, farmland, forests. I look for my own underlying order amid nature's chaos. Using drawing and mark making with charcoal and graphite and painting with layered oils, I generate an imagined reality. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. Again. And again. A ghost remains. I work toward a bilateral glimpse of interconnectedness between what we can see and what we imagine we can see--a superficial and subterranean geography. The resulting blend of drawing and painting awakens the unknown and casts the familiar in new light.

    Life Memories of A Tree is inspired by a tree in my neighborhood. The concept of all livings creatures somehow communicate with each other, and with us..

    "A nkisi acts as an intercessor between ancestral spirits and the living." Minksi (pl of nkisi) were "used for a community’s well-being, assuring fertility, protecting against illnesses, and generally keeping malevolent forces at bay. Their commissioning reflected a fear that disruptive forces would damage the village’s unity." [source: Community Power Figure: Male (Nkisi) Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, Yaëlle Biro, 2018.] I hope Nkisi for Elections will act as an intercessor between the spirits of the founding fathers of our democracy, our Constitution, and the politicians of today.

  • Mixed media, painted cloth, found objects on wood 72 x 24 x 12"
    A nkisi is a container for spirits that was widely used by healers in the 19th and early part of the 20th century in the Congo area of Africa. Nkisi for Remembrance is a contemporary and vernacular interpretation of those ritualistic sculptures created by the healer of a village to protect clients who had been wronged. This nkisi draws from those African sculptures some of their aesthetic elements such as the use of reflective surfaces which reflect both the spirit world and the natural world.

  • Sudden Breeze Bronze Size of Piece: 21 x 7 x 9 As I walked to my studio, inspiration struck me. A sudden gust of wind swept through me, enveloping me in its embrace. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the wind to fill me up. It touched every part of me. Once I reached my studio, I began working to capture that moment and feeling in my sculpture. When I look at this piece, I can still feel that sense of being taken over by nature and embracing it fully. The sculpture is about letting go and embracing the unexpected moments in life that come our way.

  • mixed media 9 x 9" If you see a woman walking and occasionally swooping down to pick up a shiny metal object, a sparkling gem, or an interesting piece of metal or plastic, it could be me. I am constantly searching for treasures on the street, at flea markets, in thrift stores, in discarded jewelry, in the trash room in my co-op, and anywhere I go. When I get home, I soak the day’s finds in detergent, rinse and dry them, then squirrel them away in clear plastic boxes and drawers, along with things I purchase, that fill my studio waiting to be turned into a collage, assemblage, or mixed media art piece. I get my inspiration from lots of sources, including museums and galleries, magazines and books, art classes, artists, and my imagination and dreams. I constantly teach myself new techniques, experiment with ways to work with different materials, and share ideas. Many of my pieces come about serendipitously, trying one thing and ending up with something unexpected and wonderful, which is what happened for the pieces I am submitting.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Assemblage 5 x 6 in. Several years ago I began taking apart computers and other electronics, using the materials to build models and wall hangings. I enjoy taking them apart as much as putting the pieces together into something else entirely. I begin by building a structure from motherboards and other large objects from the electronics. I then enhance them with bits and pieces of old jewelry, metal and plastic, and other precious “junk”. The result, I hope, is a piece that stimulates the imagination and takes viewers somewhere new and wonderful.

  • print on paper 14.5 x 6" When I turned 50 and was forced to spend a lot of time in doctor’s offices and hospital waiting rooms, I began cutting images out of magazines – that was the beginning of becoming a serious artist. I took classes and created intricate collages. Eventually I began experimenting with other materials and techniques. I also began studying with instructors who encouraged me to be creative and follow my own ideas. The images in this show were inspired by family and friends -- my Aunt Mary who loved butterflies and nature, my friend Stephanie who encouraged me to fight for women's rights, and my teacher Martha who helped me explore new materials and techniques.

  • Two Critical Questions Acrylic Size of Piece: 42 x 51 x 1.5 Hayoon Jay Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the tension between indulgence and abnegation as it exists in terms of mind and body as well as on a socio-political level. Her work locates points of contact between Korean material tradition and Western avant-garde vocabulary by using rice shape and rice as an object, motif, commodity, and metaphor. As a building block of civilizations and a marker of wealth differences, rice allows Lee to conceptually play with points of conflict conceptually — oscillating between attraction and repulsion, between Orient and Occident— with the aim of ultimately encouraging reflection on the different ways our conditions and fates are interlinked. Renowned for integrating rice-inspired motifs and organic, visceral shapes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, and videos, Lee’s work features figures embedded within rice forms. This highlights the deep connection between food and life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Cold wax oil on Birch panel 14 x 11 x .875"
    “The absence that defined it became the presence that defined them.” (Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer) I keep a copy of this quote on my studio wall because it tweaks my imagination. In the novel it refers to a shared hole between two bedrooms. The recent unforeseen pandemic years have done much to remind me of our uncertain human condition within the energetic flux of life. This painting is my abstract vision of passing through dynamic energy into an unknowable future.

  • encaustic 8 x 8 x 1"
    Everything around us was shades of blue and grey. We were sitting outside on the coast of Pico Island, in the Azores, listening to the waves break over volcanic rock. Not the nicest weather for a vacation with friends, but the Sangria we shared muted the chilly, damp weather.  I love the contrast of the dark red and the orange against the stormy sky and sea. This piece takes into consideration, unpleasant weather, along with the concept of making the best of it.

  • Encaustic on board 5 x 7"
    The Oculus is located by the World Trade Center and operates as a transportation hub designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While it is normally quite crowded I happened to be there when most people were wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and still social distancing. From the street level one enters to a platform two stories above, with a view of the entire concourse and soaring walls (if they can be called that), amid skylights to the ceiling. The building is stunning and the height and length of its interior, its depth, reduces those of us inside, to mere shadows of ourselves.

  • Encaustic on board 5 x 7"
    One rainy summer morning I drove my mother to a doctor’s appointment in Manhattan and waited in the car. Between the swishing wiper blades I began taking photographs of people out on the street, navigating the rain and the traffic. I often use toner transfers of photographs I’ve taken, in my encaustic work.This image appealed to me because although there is no real danger, the perception is that the traffic is just waiting to rush forward, while the woman is hurrying to get across the street, before that happens.

  • Cold wax and oil
    6 x 6"
    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.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • encaustic 7 x 5" One of the things I enjoy about traveling is finding new sources of inspiration for my artwork. It’s exciting to find subject matter completely different from my own New York environment. Years ago, while raising my daughters, I put painting on hold and turned to photography, developing and printing my own black and white photographs. I eventually returned to painting and today the darkroom is obsolete, but I have found a way to incorporate my love of photography with my love of painting. I utilize the photographic images to create encaustic pieces. The process involves turning a color photograph into a high resolution, black and white image. That image is then printed on white paper and burnished into the already painted, warm wax surface, on the encaustic board. The paper is then gently removed by wetting it, and rubbing it off, leaving the ink behind. After that process is finished I may add more paint to the surface. It is also possible to create more texture with the wax if that is what is needed. Encaustic, when polished, has a luminescence not seen in other mediums.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Looking Inward Encaustic Size: 5 x 7 Framed Size: 10 x 12 Whenever I venture into the city I am on the lookout for images that can be translated into encaustic pieces. There is much to chose from although one of my favorite subjects are the people of New York, going about their day. These pieces reflect a moment in time, specifically during the year 2024. Contemporary now, perhaps vintage in the future.  Encaustic is a process in which you paint with melted wax, fusing each layer together. I often incorporate a toner transfer, developed from the photographs I’ve taken. Depending upon the technique used, multiple layers can add a depth to the overall piece. When the encaustic is polished it gives a luminescence not seen in other mediums. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Painting Tidal 40 x 40 in. The artwork *Tidal* draws its inspiration from the natural beauty of New England's seacoast, particularly the captivating interplay of land, water, and sky. As a colorist, I interpret this environment through bold, expressive use of color, conveying not just what I see, but the emotional resonance these landscapes evoke. The fluidity of the acrylic, oil pastel, and watercolor on unprimed canvas allows for spontaneous movement and layering, capturing the ebb and flow of tidal rhythms. This piece blends abstraction with the organic forms of the seacoast, reflecting my deep connection to the region and its ever-changing nature.

  • Pastel 12.5 x 11.5" Painting is a much-needed creative outlet for me and I love to experiment with different techniques, pastels and surfaces.  What drew me to the scene for “Reflections at the Pier” was the contrast between the red building and the cloudy sky.  I was trying to capture the stillness and flat light of a cold day on the water and the texture of the wooden pier and posts.

  • Finding My Way Acrylic Size: 10 x 8 Framed Size: 14 x 11 One of a series of works inspired by maps. In this series, I explore how we read images and interpret them as a map of a place on land or sea, or even a celestial map. The works in this series all begin with a blurry, monotone, monoprint background. The "map" is then created upon that surface, with acrylic paint applied with brushes, pens and unconventional materials such as bits of torn cardboard or crumpled foil.

  • Heather Stivison, Star Store Umass Campus

    Acrylic on Canvas Sacre Sanguis Size: 36 x 12 x 0 Sacre Sanguis celebrates the unique feminine relationship to blood. In writing about the origins of life, Carl Sagan wrote “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our applies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” The painting includes imagery of constellations and stars to reference that origin of all life on earth. Circles of tick marks suggest sunlight and the circle of life. Literal seeds –some dispersing--populate the canvas. Other dots and whorls reference the molecular basis for life. Lines of energy shoot across the canvas. And all float in the sea of sacred feminine blood, reminding us that women have significant literal, figurative, and spiritual power in the life of our entire planet.

  • cotton threads stitched on linen blend fabric, polyester batting, ink, needles, pins, and images of historic immigration ephemera printed on cloth
    17.5 x 24 x 1.5" Long Hours, Hard Work, 1920 is one of a series of narrative works about the lives of immigrant women who came to New York from many cultures. They had the strength and courage to leave their familiar home towns in the hope of a better life for their children. Often their own lives were made even more difficult by this choice, but the lives of their children and grandchildren benefited from their sacrifices. The hand-sewn fabric is a tactile reference to the generations of anonymous, poorly-paid immigrant women who labored in New York City’s Garment District.

  • acrylic on Bristol board 10 x 8"
    Night Music is my response to the sounds of nature I experience late at night from the deck of my cabin in the Vermont woods. The human sounds quiet down. My moment of solitude changes to reverie. I am transported by a symphony of natural sounds that fill the air--the rhythmic chorus of the frogs and crickets, the roar of rushing of water in the nearby river, and the percussive sound of wind rustling through the trees all rise up as i gaze at the stars in the dark sky above. The music is soon punctuated by the haunting calls of a pair of great horned owls. I painted Night Music to remember this magical experience.

  • pencil and colored pencil on pages of an old cookbook 17.5 x 21.5" The work is a drawing of my mother in her WWII Royal Air Force Bomber Command uniform. Instead of drawing paper, I used pages from 'The Settlement Cookbook,' a guide she was given to teach her how to be a 'good American housewife' upon arriving in the U.S as a war bride. I drew her military logo with its words "strike shard and strike sure' floating to the right of her portrait. On the left, an old-fashioned stocking clip hangs like a war medal. Red stitches are drawn to represent the "woman's work" of her new assigned role in America.

  • Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 x 1.5" I rely on the unconscious to paint meditations that are beyond my daily life, using paint to express what my language cannot. This painting reflects my sense of awe at the recognition that we are but tiny specks floating untethered enormous cosmos around us. I used an analogous color palette to create the misty, blurry sensations of my meditation on this vastness. These ideas are beyond my grasp and beyond my words. I recall Carl Sagan’s words that the Cosmos is “beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."
