Islanderprintmaking5.75 x 7.75This is a non traditional silkscreen process. The screen itself becomes the canvas on which I create the image directly. I flood the screen with a printmaking medium and pull a squeegee from top to bottom to force all the pigments through the screen. The total image appears all at once on paper.Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Contact to Purchase: Sales are through Center for Contemporary Printmaking:Phone Number: 203-899-7999

Island Man >printmaking7.75 x 5.75I was creating a demo for my printmaking students on chine collé and decided to keep going on this tangent in my own practice. It can be very simple, but effective, as seen here in the monkey's face. Adding a piece of paper for a more detailed section and extending the paper to create a hard hat over the top of his head eliminated the need to carve another block, and made his face stand out from his body. Also, deciding to keep the space behind his face white, but include typeface in the hat area is a decision to consider when making choices for chine collé materials. The AP card was a real document that I added a paw print and signature to, and the camera was a Xerox collaged on, as well. A lesson for my students that I enjoyed learning from, too.Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.Contact to Purchase: Sales are through Center for Contemporary Printmaking:Phone Number: 203-899-7999
| Romm's art examines the divine intelligence permeating all existence, employing a visual language rich in light, color, and symbols that transcends the mundane and draws viewers into supernatural realms. Romm's creative process-guided by intuition and experimentation-blend influences from music, poetry, and personal dreamwork to explore themes of transformation, rebirth, and transcendence. She often employs nature's symbols—drawing from skies, trees, water, birds, and other elements—infused with dynamic color to depict emerging forms symbolizing the union of physical (earth) and spirit (aether). These compositions blur tangible-ethereal boundaries, transforming her paintings into portals that invite exploration of mystical landscapes where sacred and surreal converge. Romm’s paintings are not simply representations but invitations to connect with the deeper forces shaping existence. | |

| As an Artist, I can weave together the threads of myth and reality while exploring the deep, multifaceted nature of the female psyche. With a unique approach that blends traditional inspiration with cutting-edge technology, My artwork serves as a bridge between the past and the present, the tangible world and the dreamlike. My pointillist pieces, created using a computer painting program, breathe life into my powerful creations, capturing the inner stories of women and the emotional landscapes they navigate. A key influence on my artwork is the traditional beauty of Japanese woodblock prints and the ethereal quality of pre-Raphaelite paintings. These historical works saturate her pieces with a sense of timelessness. Yet, my choice of a computer program as my primary art medium places me firmly in the realm of contemporary art-making. By embracing modern technology, I reinterprets these classical influences through a digital lens, creating works that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. At the heart of my artwork lies a fascination with the interplay of fantasy and truth. My creations speak to a realm where stories and symbols come alive, where ancient tales are reimagined through a state-of-the-art viewpoint. The result is a body of work that honors the past while challenging contemporary perceptions of femininity, identity, and self-expression. Through my art, I offer a playful yet profound exploration of the desires and dreams that shape the female experience. | |

| For those of us fortunate enough to live in Upper Manhattan NYC, Fort Tryon Park is our own mini Central Park and also something more. With the Cloisters Museum serving as its "castle on a hill", the Park with its lush landscaping in the same English Romantic style as Central Park, but with sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Palisades of NJ beyond, Fort Tryon Park is a place that brings out the best of us. It is a little-known gem, a neighborhood treasure that reminds us that we can daily experience renewed awe in its beauty, find calm in its idealized version of nature, delight in its wildlife, and take heart in how we and our neighbors and visitors alike smile, say hello, and find common cause in our love for the place. In the daily stresses of urban life that can sometimes bring out the worst in its residents, the Park is a place where we access a different side of life, a place we all agree that we treasure despite other disagreements. And in so doing, it is a place that prompts us to be a better, nobler version of ourselves. | |

acrylic, handprinted paper, collage on canvas board
'Offering' was inspired by a trip to India where I participated in a service project. I had made a strong, non-verbal connection with this woman which seemed to grow stronger as the weeks passed. On the final day, she invited me into her home and offered a chai tea to share with her, along with one rupee she had kept hidden behind the counter. Her daughter commented thatches was her gift to me. the woman held my hand tightly as we left for the bus-- and followed my eyes through the bus' window as I sat to leave.. both of us in tears. I wanted to capture that moment when the connection felt as if we were just two women- our shared experiences reflected in each others eyes- no matter how far apart our worlds were. The other piece-'Tuk Sip' from a trip to Cambodia (Tuk=water)

I am passionate about photography as an art form. In a world overfull with images, ideas, and messages streaming at warp speed, there's profound value in the thoughtfulness, the provocation, the silent aesthetic, the power of an image made with the vision and ever evolving techniques of fine art photography.

Insomnia This picture was painted shortly after my arrival in New York. There are references to ancient Greek culture and Homer's epic poem Odyssey. The painting symbolized the hope that in our journey we will not lose our own culture. And we will be able to join another culture that is still unknown to us.

This painting is about my parents' wedding. My mother was from a rich and powerful family and my father was from exile in the Siberian Gulag family. Mother's parents were strongly against this marriage and it was like Russian Roulette for my father. He did not know if he could have a happy life or he could end up in Gulag which is depicted in the painting.

Journey to Self, Outside Another Box, and Twisted each explore the complex, non-linear paths we take toward self-understanding and growth. Through layered colors, shifting forms, and circular movement, these works reflect moments of clarity, resistance, and transformation. They invite viewers to consider the ways we navigate change: sometimes breaking free from boundaries, sometimes finding our way back to center, always shaped by the twists and turns that make us who we are.

White roses and blue-and-white vessels are arranged before a yellowed page from a medieval manuscript. The imagery of knights, heraldic animals, and ancient lettering carries symbolic weight — courage, loyalty, and the passage of time. The objects and flowers suggest hidden emotions behind their decorative surfaces, inviting the viewer to look for personal and historical meanings within the stillness.

A vivid dialogue unfolds between strong red background and the dark blue. glass vessels. Roses and glass vessels, in combination with a dagger, a sword, a pomegranate — suggest symbolic meanings. Though still, the composition carries reminiscences, an untold story, suspended in time.

I am inspired by nature and I am a gardener and often am inspired by the flowers that I tend to. I use recycled brown grocery bags and paint them with acrylics. When the bags are dry I rip them and glue them together on canvas in the image of my gardens.

A few years back while visiting my brother and sister-in -law in New York, we took the train out to Belmont Park to watch the horse race. Although I often draw wild horses, I had never before experienced the energy of a live thoroughbred race. The horses, with their graceful yet powerful bodies, rumbled past the stands in a blur of color as their jockeys urged them on. I took many photographs that day ,and I continue to create drawings inspired by that experience. This piece, “Racing the Big Sandy, refers to the local nickname for Belmont Racetrack, and captures the trillI felt watching the racers thunder past.
I created this drawing using watercolor pencils and Neocolor 2 on Rives Bfk paper adhered to and varnished on a cradled wood panel.
I’m a textile artist who is inspired by the world around me, especially by nature. I look at my surroundings with inquisitive eyes and mind, with curiosity, knowing there are hidden treasures to be found and turned into art.
My artistic approach is mostly intuitive with a constant awareness of color combination and contrast. The use of strong colors is a direct influence of my Brazilian heritage. Using fabric as the medium to create my art pieces was a natural choice since I have been working with it from my teenage years.
My creative process can be described in two phases. The first one is the combination of inspiration and visualization of an art piece. The second phase is transforming what I visualized into actual artwork. It requires selecting fabrics as close as possible to my vision, adjusting, and sometimes, starting all over again.

I conjure intimate dialogues on canvas that speak of who we are—beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to celebrate the magic inside every woman. We are beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to show the magic inside every woman. We shine with grace like Aphrodite—the most beautiful goddess of love—full of softness and light. We also stand strong like a divine warrior, wearing gold helmet and gentle pink gown at the same time, showing that our power comes from being both brave and tender. Sometimes we are a mirror too—my painting with a young woman kissing her reflection reminds us we all want to feel seen and loved. That “love yourself” isn’t just words—it’s a deep hug from your own heart, a way to feel close to others again. My paintings are simple conversations with our souls, celebrating how we are strong and gentle, brave and kind, always beautiful and always real.
