  • oil on linen 20 x 20" I have been painting winter landscapes for many years. Whether in a pastoral setting or in my own backyard, the quiet presence of a blanket of snow has always been serene and comforting. The three paintings I am presenting for “Frozen Dreams and Abstract Realities: Winter’s Dual Nature” represent work that I have painted again and again in varying ways; my backyard and the landscapes of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. Both places are dear to me and are a never ending source of inspiration. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.  
  • Oil on board 10 x 10"
    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.

  • Rendezvous
    acrylic/mixed media on canvas
    Size: 48 x 60
    I had a phone call from a Professor from New England college who asked me if I would be interested in an exhibition themed "Landscrape", not misspelled. Of course I agreed and proceeded to paint some large pieces for the exhibit. Long story short, the exhibit didn't get off the ground so to speak, but the work did. Consequently, this piece was included by Anita Rogers, Anita Rogers Gallery in the Art2Life 2023 exhibit. One thing leads to another. In creating this piece I was able to paint freely with abandon. I utilized larger brushes, paint edgers to drag and remove paint, charcoal, graphite, you name it. I also used some house paint because I loved the way it moved on the canvas. The work had many layers, a paint layer followed by a layer of gloss medium, which give the piece a lovely depth and textural quality.

  • color photo screen print
    30 x 20" The Rowing Prints are a series of photo screenprints created to explore the sport of crew from the point of view of a rower and coach. They are derived from normal mundane images of regular practice sessions, mostly on the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie. The photos are then manipulated to create screenprints, and hand colored on the screen itself. When printed with a sheer black ink, I create images that are at once both realistic and nostalgic, which is the aligned with the experience of rowers who ply the waters of the historic Hudson River rowing venue at Poughkeepsie today.

  • photo screenprint 24 x 18 x .5"
    On the Dock is a work from the Rowing Series, which depicts the sport of crew from the point of view of an active participant. In this series, the quieter moments of the ritual of preparation and repose are included alongside more vigorous action, all in the bucolic setting of the Hudson River. The photoscreenprints are hand-colored in the process of making them, wherein the screen itself is colored and the color is then transferred in the printing. The photo processing and tinted inks create the illusion of a newsprint photo from years past, creating a sense of nostalgia and reflection of a time gone by.

  • Limestone 19 x 12 x 6" My sculpting is done as direct carving in stone -- meaning that the work is not meticulously preplanned, but proceeds as a collaboration between the artist and the medium. The stone evokes an initial image in the imagination of the artist who proceeds to chip away letting that image emerge. My style can be called realism, tinged with a touch of fantasy.

    20 x 24 x 0.7"
    This piece draws its inspiration from the enchanting sounds of nature at night. Picture a captivating symphony orchestrated by the chorus of small creatures, a melodic masterpiece with no clear beginning or end. This harmonious composition sweeps everyone into a dance, casting a luminous glow upon the surroundings. In the heart of this auditory spectacle, I envisioned a diminutive creature perched delicately upon a leaf.

  • oil on canvas 24 x 18 x 0.7" I am a contemporary artist, whose style could be described as a blend of symbolism and surrealism. My goal is to bring dreams and creativity into physical reality. My artworks are characterized by vibrant colors, a balance between light and darkness and neat brushstrokes. I take my time to accurately compose the characters, so they could elegantly express their emotional experience. I am influenced by the old masters like Thomas Gainsborough and his remarkably delicate feminine characters, and by surrealists like Frida Kahlo, and her expression of pain and passion. My main medium is oil on canvas. I am experimenting with watercolors and ink pen as well.

  • oil on canvas 24 x 20 x .7" When I was little, I thought that all people and animals are friends. I still think, that we are all together on this Earth moving somewhere. In my painting I wanted to show the beauty and power of a rhino, and a human, who completely trusts his rhino companion. I created a night sky background, to emphasize two characters. The road, that they are taking is foggy and radiant, to maintain a mystical experience. This artwork is one of a kind. Made with high-quality professional oil paint on a gallery wrapped canvas. Painting is signed / dated on both front and back. Painted sides, unframed and ready to hang.

  • Eastern watercolor/sumi-e on single Shuen rice paper
    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.

  • Stone 22 x 12 x 8"
    I always had a love for creating sculptures out of alabaster stone. I worked with direct carving, finding inspiration in the coloration and the flow of the stone itself. My sculptures reveal the female form conveying a sense of movement with the subtle details of flowing fabric. My visions emerge from the stone as I delve deeper into its core and only truly know what will appear with the final polishing. I enjoy sharing my art and insist that people touch ans caress them as they learn what can be created from within a stone.

  • #1670 The Lotus Queen Lily Porcelain Size of Piece: 20 x 18 x 11 Garden flowers have been a running theme of my hand-formed porcelain sculptures for many years. I work toward realism or the abstract, depending on the flower. My inspiration comes on the walks I take in this seaside town with lush gardens.

    8.5 x 6 x 4.5"
    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.  
  • Photograph 12 x 12 in.   I felt so fortunate to have caught this special moment of two women friends, one cool summer morning as they walked together in the sea. I loved that they were touching, as though one was guiding or encouraging the other to move through the water, perhaps deep in conversation. I feel this scene said so much, especially since they were alone. It speaks to friendship. The joy and encouragement we experience from it and the importance of connection.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Sculpture 14 x 9 x 7.5"

    All of my sculptural work is nature-themed with a focus on the sea and florals, both abstract and moving toward realism. My inspiration for this work came from my frequent visits to a beautiful spot of land—ocean on three sides-- with the same name, that juts into the open ocean. I submitted this because it is a special example of what I believe is the magic of working with porcelain—that I can bring it to wafer thin forms while turning, twisting and lifting it into organic shapes that recall the energy of the sea.

    Acrylic, Charcoal, Graphite on Stretched Canvas
    Size: 48 x 48" 'Once Deeply Rooted, Now Barely Tethered' was inspired by the impermanence and mystery of the natural world. It began as darkness in the middle of the canvas and grew organically from there. A quality of wildness, much like the energy of deep interior woods, infused the painting process. As the plant matter seems to rise in ascent, all things are in flux, even the laws of gravity Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • Painting She, Bright as Yellow 16 x 16 x 2 in. 'She, Bright as Yellow' moved me to paint. From corsets, panty hose, Skims and Spanx we are so often asked to constrict, to make smaller. Working from my series of underwater works titled ‘Coming Up For Air”, the painting included in this submission reflect on the notion of breath; fighting for and finding the space to breathe in. My work is a joyful reclamation. Through provocation, humor, and strength, I examine equality and personal truths through a contemporary figurative lens. I explore the complex ways we all navigate in the spaces that surround us, and how I hope my work emboldens women to take up space.

  • The Delight Project: No. 5 Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 16 My name is Anne Pollard James and I paint the spectacular strength of women. My current project, 'The Delight Project' examines many of the notions of the concept of how we 'brave the body’.  As women, we are always asked to cover up and camouflage our natural bodies. In fact, based on what we see on a screen, you would never know that skin has scars, pores and complex texture. That the body is as pragmatic as it is mysterious. The very things that make us strong and capable are the things that our cameras filter out. Like, the muscles and the fascia that mold fat into cellulite and keep our legs strong to carry us on our way. And how our faces line and fall with gravity and then peak to glorious smiles that light up everything. And how our bellies rise and fall, and are streaked with the pale-blue-peach hued marks that stretch to hold us. For this project, I offered an open invitation to participate in this series. And then, I simply met women where they are and captured small moments of joy and delight of self, to include in a series of painted images based on a photo that we worked together to create. Here are their stories.

  • Oil All My Favorite Colors Size: 50 x 26 x 3 My submissions represent the most current work I have completed. The figurative series was intended to encompass all things about creation. The cubist quality happened rather organically while I was troubleshooting creative ways to represent parts of a figure, and the pieces that make up a whole being. These are only two examples, while some of the works not pictured are more irregular and varied shapes, rather than the hard-edged linear shapes seen here. The pallet varies as well but overall the works are a neutral with vibrant undertones. The contour lines will appear and subtly disappear. I enjoyed the thinking process behind the pieces as much as the actual creation of them. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

  • mixed media painting using collaged hand painted papers 22 x 22 x 2" Excited by the way colorful shapes fit together, how a line on the surface can cause movement, the surprise of embedded bits of pattern -- my work is playful and energetic. I am almost completely concerned with how the elements of art come together to make a strong composition. Sometimes compared to aerial views, puzzle pieces locked together and urban grids, in my work, these are qualities sensed rather than seen. While the result is abstract, every piece begins with a reference – a concrete memory, sensation or even a photograph of a place I have traveled. For viewers, the experience is about creativity and curiosity, moving in close to see the layers, and asking themselves “what is this?” Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
