Chespeake Bay Oil Size: 11 x 14 Fine artist and humanitarian Laurie Elizabeth McKinley has dedicated her life to observing, documenting, and participating in the human experience. She has traveled the globe her entire life, compelled to observe and photograph the stories of vanishing cultures with compassion and humanity.

Laurie Elizabeth paints in all genres, especially enjoying en plein air in villages throughout the world and capturing that very special “first feeling” -- the mystery of the moment, the chi, the magic.

I'm A Goddess On Night Patrol Watercolor on Paper Size: 11 x 15 My inspiration comes mainly from my own experience, observations and understanding of human beings' existence in this world-- the struggle we go through to survive (get by), thrive and become happy and content. I like to study history and philosophy to learn about human nature. My artwork tends to capture various human feelings and emotions, and our persistent yearning for freedom, justice and truth. Occasionally, I create artworks that seems to show off-on-a-tangent imagination or whimsical humor, but they are also my reflections on our being in this world. I often use strong colors and mixed media, but for small works, I enjoy working with a single medium for each piece. For larger artworks, I frequently feature reflective materials in the mixed media, especially color foil. Color foil tape/paper generates brilliant flowing changing colors as a person moves in the space to view the artworks from different angles, informing the viewer that “change is norm”- we should learn when and how to let go of bad feelings. It also reminds the audience that truth can be multi-faceted: all we can see is just a part of it, so we should fare in this world with humility and tolerance.

Let It Sing! Watercolor on Watercolor hot press paper Size: 10 x 13 The painting Let It Sing! was inspired by a moment I captured during a winter trip to New York, specifically in Central Park's Bethesda Terrace Arcade. The subject of the piece is a young woman busking with her guitar, and her face is filled with an expression of deep passion as she sings. The title, Let It Sing!, is drawn from the song "Let It Sing" in the Broadway musical Violet. In the show, a disfigured girl embarks on a journey of healing through faith and music. She meets a man who encourages her to embrace her voice, telling her, "You've got to give yourself a reason to rejoice / Cause the music you make counts for everything / Now every living soul has got a voice / You've got to give it room / And let it sing." The painting itself reflects that same message—the power of music to heal, express, and make one's voice heard. As I worked on the piece, I was drawn to the vibrant energy of the woman and the striking textures of the environment around her. The weathered stone wall behind her, with its intricate trompe l'oeil panels, echoed the colors of her shirt, creating a harmonious blend of background and subject. This "harmony" and her passionate expression captivated me and sparked my creative process. Let It Sing! captures the unspoken connection between artist and art, voice and music, and the healing power of self-expression.

Within #3 Mixed Media Collage Size: 10 x 8 Framed Size: 14 x 12 I create abstract three-dimensional collage by transforming flat images and shapes into raised architectural forms that add depth, texture and shadows. Using paper in rich tones, I cut, score and fold to build these forms, then combine them with other materials, like photographs, wood, fabric, metal, plastic, and wire mesh. The juxtaposition of these elements -- casting shadows and highlighting contact points – enhances the intention of each piece. I find inspiration from African sculpture; the Constructivism, Geometric Abstraction, and Cubism art movements; the work of Louise Nevelson; the ‘illogical perspective’ of Giorgio de Chirico and M.C. Escher; Joseph Cornell’s shadow boxes; and Frank Stella’s metal reliefs, among many others. My work lands somewhere between the real and the imagined. Each piece features doorways, walkways and passages, leading the viewer to spaces of mystery, questions and the unknown. These pieces serve as visual metaphors for issues that impact me, from environmental concerns and global conflicts to the search for inner peace. As viewers consider this ‘almost-but-not-quite-real’ world, I invite them to ask questions, like: What is it? Where is it? What do I see and feel? And ultimately, do I find myself in it, or not? Through these questions, I aim to foster deeper connections and understanding, encouraging introspection and the recognition of our shared experiences.

Cut and Paste Encaustic Size: 12 x 12 I have used the chair as my motif of choice in most of my work, drawing on its use as a metaphor for the human being and human nature. The artwork "Cut And Paste" was created as I was thinking about how the chair travels; that no matter where we find ourselves, no matter the environment the chair will always be be there, marking our place. "Prototype" is heavily layered, scraped and collaged as I explored the basic shape and ubiquitous quality of the chair throughout the history of mankind.

The First Glow Collage with digital images and watercolor Size: 3 x 2 These works were inspired by the objects I found. "Burnin' Love )" was inspired by a found matchbox in the back of a drawer and I did a series of matchbox assemblages...this being one. My mom loved Elvis and took me to every movie he was in and I thought this would be a fun use of the piece. "The First Glow" was inspired by a pile of letters I found between a couple who wrote to each other and the letters revealed the development of the relationship and this piece is about how they both began to edge more towards love and "the first glow" or blossoming of new love...

Rushing Falls Photograph: Platinum/ Palladium Size of Piece: 5 x 7 Size of Piece Framed: 11 x 14 In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the environment. These images offer us rare moments of solitude, time to slow down and observe the world around us, and to enjoy quiet beauty and serenity, offering viewers quiet moments of reflection. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in, providing an opportunity to examine nature and the built environment. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. A strong sense of design is also important in these images.

Petite Treat Sculpture: Acrylic paint on natural gourd Size: 6 x 3 x 3 I am a painter and sculptor.

I employ concepts from abstraction, cubism, and surrealism to interpret the elusive qualities of time, energy, and storytelling. Primary and contrasting colors, moving lines, and overlapping shapes produce dynamic patterns and intricate designs. The natural gourd is prepared like a canvas. Opaque acrylic matte and gouache paint are rendered on the third dimensional surface creating a continuous painting involving the owner in selecting views.

Sweeping the Church Steps Digital Photograph Size: 15 x 10 I enjoy photographing people on the street. Most of my current work is in the NYC area. I look for good locations and wait to find interesting people. What inspires me is how unpredictable people are and how spontaneous the process is. I look for places with interesting forms, color, light, and street geometry. Interactions between people can make for a strong photograph. Also, I never know how people will react to being photographed by me. I've had various reactions from people who pose and wave, to people who cover their faces. What has kept me going over the years was the excitement of being on the street and finding unpredictable encounters.

Frolic 2 Mixed Media Size: 6 x 6 Framed Size: 12 x 12 This group of woven mixed media works employs photography as a base to evoke the passage of time and obfuscation of memories through the use of weaving techniques. In order to do this, I must first deconstruct the photograph by cutting it into thin strips to create a new work. Weaving creates patterns on the surface and below the surface. I use pattern to evoke memory and I want the viewer to connect with their own personal histories and intuition. The subjects that I work with come from a personal collection of photographs of family, anonymous subjects and images of famous artists and writers. All are chosen based on either my connection with the subject on a personal level or from having an emotional response to the photograph. Often the vintage-looking subjects and the intricacy of weaving create a very tactile effect that both abstracts and restores attributes of the original image while referencing the idea of “women’s work," a subject that is close to home.

Walled Up: Common Place Series Pastel Size: 10 x 10 I am a painter of contemporary landscapes that often blur the distinctions between realism and abstraction. The driving force behind my work is my interest in finding and amplifying the beauty and mystery that exists quietly all around us, both obvious and hidden. I am always seeking ways that the humblest scenes reveal profound insights and offer wordless understanding. Known for working in pastels for nearly 30 years, my imagery often uses a close focus on water, rocks, and foliage. The inclusion of reflections and shadows, often without a horizon for reference, allows a range of interpretations and encourages the viewer to move beyond the literal with me. While my imagery remains grounded in the natural world, I alter or emphasize at will. Even when including human constructions I focus on the abstract and curious elements. I love creating passages of paint where one can move without concern for naming. Free association and personal response are encouraged. I hope my take on a scene can clarify or illuminate nascent insights for others as well as for me.

Broken Ice Shelf Acrylic Size: 12 x 12 Erin’s painting series is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and her creative expression. “I look at the elements of the earth, the balance of nature, and a bird’s eye view of the stunning contrast of land that we don’t always see. While our planet is vast and different it is all one in how we can preserve it for future generations. I am creating a story of our planet but most importantly a message about climate change and what is infinite or finite. We need to preserve our natural environment for a more sustainable future. “ Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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.

The Moon Rules the Night Watercolor Size: 6 x 4 Framed Size: 10 x 8 My work centers on spaces from my imagination that reflect reality but don’t represent it, much like a dream. While the scale of my watercolors, and therefore interaction with them, is small and personal, my approach to painting both small and large works is similar. Surface tension, brushstroke, and layers of color are equally important no matter the size of the work. I want you to participate when you look at my art - enter the image and place yourself in the space. While my early paintings were primarily figurative, for the most part figures have disappeared from my work. However, a sense of the figure’s presence remains - you are that presence.

Monument Stelae Mixed Media Size: 13.8 x 10.6 I use Josonja matte flow gouache paints. I like the matte intensity of the colors. All three works are without planning. The pieces are one of a kind experiments with color, cut and painted papers/ canvas on different surfaces. I used cardboard for The Order, Fabriano watercolor paper for the Monument Stelae, and for the Figure Study I started with the orange painted paper glued to cardboard then the figure ( painted on paper) was glued onto that surface. The pieces are not related excepty by color. I love using this gouache paint! Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Fly Acrylic on panel Size: 12 x 4 “I begin with the horizon, its ever steady line of delineation between the spaces of land, sky, sea. In between are layers and layers of light and color, sprung from my memory but unbound by realism. I use a framework, a few rules around composition or color, but it’s the tension between what I expect and what the painting is telling me that dictates the flow and finish. I work, and wait, until the profound shifting between place and memory stills itself harmoniously.” See more at www.mjbenson.com.

Tic Tac Tow Acrylic, ink on mini canvases & frame under glass Size of Piece: 8 x 8 Size of Piece Framed: 9 x 9 I tell stories with explosive color! The Games Series comprised of 12 small works under glass is a a nostalgic tale which began with Checquers and Tic Tac Tow. Bowling a ling, Scrabble Soup, Sushi Pool and many, followed. Painting doodling and combining various materials on tiny canvases and other surfaces produced infinite creative possibilities.

Please don't hurt! Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 30 Framed Piece: 26 x 32 In this painting, I explore the profound vulnerability and strength of a mother shielding her child amidst the chaos of the war in Ukraine. The image of a civilian woman holding her daughter, pleading with the aggressor, is a universal story of love, fear, and resilience. My inspiration comes from stories of those caught in war zones—the civilians who do not choose violence but must endure its consequences. The mother in this painting represents countless women who, despite their terror, stand firm in their instinct to protect. In my creative process, I use heavy, dark colors in the background to symbolize destruction and turmoil. At the same time, the softer, more delicate details of the mother and child convey their fragility. The palette contrast represents the merging of fear, hope, and desperation. This piece depicts suffering and reflects humanity itself. It asks the viewer to step into this moment and question the forces that create such tragedies. Because behind every war, there are human lives. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

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. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Life is Short Life is Long Mixed Media Collage and Acrylic on Sintra panel Size of Piece: 24 x 12 Creating artwork can be a powerful and universal vehicle for human connection. For me, the challenge is to touch the timeless themes iterated in visual art, literature, drama and music throughout recorded history, while staying relevant and responsive to one’s own cultural place in the timeline. Since childhood to the present day, I have been a painter and visual artist. My images are primarily painted directly from life, with the subject typically casting a gaze back at the viewer. My paintings respond to themes “humanity”- my fellow women, forced migration, social justice, civil rights, natural and man-made calamities, as well as the respite of nature’s continuum. My process comes from my desire to bypass self-conscious inhibitions in the pursuit of self-expression. In 1990, I felt artistically "reborn" when I started painting with my non-dominant left hand and discovered renewed creative freedom. This, as well as using oversized brushes, gives me speed and fluidity, resulting in either as a fully representational finished painting, or the base on which to build a mixed media collage. Utilizing physical collage materials such as torn maps, shards of color, images from printed media, and my own repurposed drawing fragments as my palette, the works become emblematic statements of the over-stimulation and media bombardment of contemporary society, in concert with the directly observed presentation of a human subject. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Love that For Me Fiber Art: Punch Needle Embroidery on Weavers Cloth Size of Piece: 30 x 24 Framed Size: 31 x 25 Rejecting the insinuations often thrust upon the female form, Delaney’s works present highly rigid and resolutely geometric portraits of women, without a stroke of curvature. Their depiction of fractured facial profiles calls out the notion of discomfort from unwanted attention and mis-placed celebration of beauty that women receive simply by just being out in the world. The Artist presents a reaction-driven portrayal of those exchanges, and simultaneously shows strength embodied in female agency. These works re-examine our perceptions on “social appropriateness”. The Artist's mission is to abstract identifiable features and remove individual characteristics to varying degrees, creating broadly familiar subjects that reflect femininity as part of the Whole rather than the Individual. The textures and micro-patterns in the thread-work accent the idea that there is no definable limit from where the fabric that we wear ends and our more personal and emotional inner weavings begin.

Guardian III Sculpture Size of Piece: 11 x 8 x 5 Inspiration surrounds us, and I am no exception. Nature is the most powerful force behind my work for many reasons.

Women are another deep source of inspiration. I am continually moved by my sisters—their strength, resilience, and the gifts they bring to the world.

Shielded Disbelief Charcoal on Birch Panel Size of Piece: 30 x 20 As an artist, I have found a way to channel my trauma and transform it into something beautiful. Through painting, I have discovered a voice that speaks louder than the pain that once silenced me. My art is not just a depiction of my trauma, it is a manifestation of the strength and resilience I have developed through my journey. In my work, I often use symbolism and surrealism to express the complexities of my experiences. The female form is a recurring motif, representing both vulnerability and power. Through undulating gestures, I aim to convey a sense of movement and fluidity, capturing the ebb and flow of emotions that come with trauma. My art is not just a form of self-expression, it is a means of healing. Painting allows me to confront my past and process my emotions in a way that words cannot. It is through my art that I have found a way to release the pain that once consumed me and transform it into something meaningful. Through my journey as an artist, I have learned that strength is not just about overcoming adversity, but about finding the beauty in the struggle.

The Lonely Lover Charcoal on Birch Panel Size of Piece: 30 x 20 As an artist, I have found a way to channel my trauma and transform it into something beautiful. Through painting, I have discovered a voice that speaks louder than the pain that once silenced me. My art is not just a depiction of my trauma, it is a manifestation of the strength and resilience I have developed through my journey. In my work, I often use symbolism and surrealism to express the complexities of my experiences. The female form is a recurring motif, representing both vulnerability and power. Through undulating gestures, I aim to convey a sense of movement and fluidity, capturing the ebb and flow of emotions that come with trauma.

Explorer Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 12 Framed Size: 26 x 14 I am both a professional musician and artist. I experience life as having order as well as disorder through sound and sight. I create art along with music. The execution of the painting therefore becomes a personal performance, as were my song recitals when I was singing professionally, the one difference being: I am not interpreting someone else's poetry - I am creating my own in color and shape. Just as in music, patterns are important in art. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Day Trippers Pastel on Archival Paper Size of Piece: 17 x 20 Framed Size: 22 x 25 Painting has been second nature to me for so long that I often think of it as my primary language. Using pastel as my preferred medium I am able to convey thoughts and emotions that might otherwise remain ineffable. I am greatly inspired by narratives of women as they go about their daily lives.

Pure Joy Digital iPad Drawing Fabricated on Archival Paper Size of Piece: 22 x 18 Framed Size: 30 x 25 A human or animal gesture motivates me to tell a story. Whether it's source is a photograph in the paper, a magazine or one of my own. The image triggers my imagination. My use of color supports the narrative. This process is followed in my oil paintings and digital work. It is a long process. The narrative may change as I draw or paint. Sometimes it becomes a series of similar images with different stories from which I choose the final work. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
