  • Hey Will You Look At Her Now! Collage Size of Piece: 30 x 22 Framed Size: 33 x 25 Working in collage allows for free association. I use vintage periodical and book images to create discrete worlds merging image, color, and placement. I play with concepts and redefine reality, combining their elements intuitively sometimes with an idea of what I want to achieve and sometimes just letting the elements drive the image, one thing leading to another. There is always something of a surrealist element to collage, letting logic and reality go. In these two images, I tweak the idea of the "proper" woman to let the viewer know she may not be quite who you want her to be.

  • We Never Surrender Acrylic, collage, thread on panel Size of Piece: 24 x 24 Framed Size: 25 x 25 These portraits are the strong women in my life who walked before and beside me for a lifetime. I was inspired by a host of old photographs on in crumbling black photo albums that have survived 100 years. Once Upon an Art is the big sister I never had, my cousin, the reason I am an artist (too). In collage, I’ve highlighted only snips of her incredible command of language as poetry. With minimal words and intense curiosity about the world around her, she crafts short stories that belie typical speech, giving us glimpses of her genius. She divines an emotional story of our aging grandmother perhaps saying: “I forget how to use the words. I watch conversations and great-grandchildren grow in my very hands. I hide things and forget them, and therefore it gets easier. I fall asleep during the news, and so it gets easier.” We Never Surrender and But He Died both honor the legacy of our grandma. Widowed less than six months after the birth of her 5th child, she survived two World Wars, rations, The Great Depression, 50 years day after day in a sweatshop sewing men's shoes so her children could eat. Her story lives on in how I meet life, productive, stalwart, I can do it - and that has passed to my daughters, and her grandchildren and now mine. We have her story now, and traditions, making our daily bread and getting it all done to meet another day.

  • The Butterfly Dance Oil on Linen Size of Piece: 36 x 36 My art practice in oil and plein air painting is a fusion of scientific precision and artistic expression, capturing the intricate details of human and animal anatomies alongside the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. My works, such as the graceful dance of an full figured nude woman with a Swallowtail butterfly and the solitary figure of a man walking away from a woman who loves him, into a lush, curvilinear, New York State landscape, reflect a deep engagement with nature's beauty juxtaposed against the looming threat of environmental catastrophe. I am an interdisciplinary artist of Abenaki descent, weaving indigenous iconography and ancient narratives into contemporary commentary. My paintings explore the liminal spaces between abstraction and representation, the male and the female, spectacle and solitude, where I challenge these dichotomies to reveal a more nuanced reality. In my work, impending doom casts a shadow over scenes of beauty, chaos, and apocalypse, inviting a dialogue on the fragility of our environment. Through this lens, I employ oil painting not just for its traditional beauty but for its capacity to convey the urgency of ecological issues. My art is a synthesis of science and spirituality, where each brushstroke is an act of both celebration and warning.

  • I Dreamt I Was a Bird but I Could Not Fly_#3 Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas Size of Piece: 36 x 12 There are times I struggle with depression. It's often a result of chronic physical pain from arthritis and from migraines...as well as from the maddening sounds of my tinnitus. Therefore, I turn to my Art as my primary emotional therapy. In my third painting, from my series "I Dreamt I Was A Bird But I Could Not Fly", I created a visual metaphor of my physical pain. Once I felt boundless, soaring like a fearless hawk; only to eventually have my wings clipped... entwining & binding me to the ground. In "Escape into My Garden" I use the tactile elements of molded paper, words & flowers from my own garden, to represent the therapeutic physicality in processing my feelings in my personal Art Therapy. Meanwhile, the visual of a person climbing inside this magnificent flower best expresses the Emotional Escapism & happiness that's often derived from 'Garden Therapy'. "Escape into my World" incorporates a myriad of elements which have brought joy to my life: My art as my visual Storytelling of our world & our human condition. As a woman who loves looking at the stars, wondering how we fit within our vast universe, while spending time in, on or around water, appreciating how precious our Earth’s water really is. And I am also a musician who has found that playing flute has gifted me friendships (over many decades) with like-minded creative musical souls...most of whom also share a love for creating art.

  • Blossoming Acrylic and Gouache on wood (set of 3) Size of Piece: 9 x 13 I'm Tasha Branham, a New Jersey-based artist, practicing contemporary multidisciplinary art influenced by Henri Matisse. My work involves various mediums—epoxy resin, natural wood, acrylics, glass, mixed media, oil pastels, and digital art, creating a unique fusion. Exploring storytelling, faith, and hope, I aim to encourage joy and healing by reconnecting with one's inner child. My art conveys vulnerability, wonder, and the essence of faith as a Black woman. Rooted in the belief in God's grace, I draw parallels between the resilience, delicacy, strength, and beauty of Black women and elegant flowers. My art strives to inspire joy, reconnect viewers with their imagination, and help them rediscover wonder within. Influenced by artistic inspiration and my journey of inner healing, my work has been featured in the Terminal A exhibit, "Journey of Surprises," and my work is currently on display at the new Marcus Samuelsson LIVE!

  • Archiped Sculpture: Stainless steel, copper Size of Piece: 7 x 3 x 11.5 Wendy Kaplan Friend is an innovative New York metal, stone and glass sculptor for more than 40 years.  Her creations have been exhibited in private collections in the US and internationally.  She is a life member at the Art Students League where she has studied for 13 years.

  • Those Were The Days Acrylic on Canvas Size of Piece: 20 x 20 As a visual artist and a dancer, I find many connections between abstract painting and improvisational dance. Just as I let the music move me from within, I allow my artistic intuition to bring my brush to life. I make art because I don’t know how to live without creating. The foundation of my art is connections. I aim to communicate the essence of a relationship or place with my visual language. In my art, ideas and expressions are more important than the materials. My goal is to transport the viewer to a place, person or moment in their life. I create abstract paintings with harmonious and brave colors. Using acrylic, mixed media, and collage material, I love exploring with unusual tools for surprising and delightful effects. My paintings go through three stages. I start by playing with colors and marks, following my intuition, allowing my technical knowledge only here and there. Then comes the 'ugly stage.' Nothing seems to be working, the colors and shapes struggle to be saved. It’s tempting to discard the work right here, but I always push through knowing the beauty I can create. This connection to my work brings me to the home stretch. I will never sign a piece until I’m completely connected with it. Once I am, you will be too.

  • Transformation Mixed Media Size of Piece: 10 x 10 Framed Size: 11.5 x 11.5 My work explores the intersection of abstract and figurative art, inviting viewers into a realm where emotions, memories, and human experiences converge. Abstract paintings form a core part of my practice. Through bold brushstrokes, gestural marks, and layered colors, I aim to capture the essence of emotions and translate the intangible onto canvas. These works encourage individual interpretation, allowing personal experiences to shape the meaning derived from each piece. Complementing my abstract explorations are figurative paintings. Here, I delve into the human form, capturing nuances of body language, gestures, and facial expressions. Depicting individuals in various emotional states, I strive to evoke empathy and spark contemplation about the complexities of human existence. The interplay of light, shadow, and color infuses the figures with depth and presence, fostering an intimate connection with the viewer. My exploration of the human form extends into figurative sculptures and installations. Working with tactile materials like clay, metal, and mixed media, I create three-dimensional representations that inhabit physical space. These works offer a more immersive experience, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the artwork and its environment and to connect with the art and its narratives on a deeper level. Across all mediums, I strive to create a dialogue between viewer and artwork. I invite introspection and self-reflection, exploring the beauty and complexity of the human experience, and connecting with universal emotions. Ultimately, my art aims to inspire contemplation, evoke a range of emotions, and encourage a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

    Coming Soon is part of the ongoing series of Bog Bodies I started in 2008. While exploring the theme of Bog Bodies and the constant cycle of all organisms, our impact on the environment and daily living took me on a side road to look for more. Water is the most important part of keeping everything alive, and my theme flowing. But when nature takes a turn and brings drought, it leaves an imprint on my ideas. And my ideas affect every single aspect of my life.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

    8 x 10"
    In Tales of a Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes said: “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.” I take my camera out. I may choose a subject; I may think “that would make a great picture”; I may visit a new place or one I’ve seen before. I want to observe and to present things in a way that causes the viewer to stop and observe.  We have the technology to immediately capture whatever is in front of us. The challenge is for people to slow down; to question whether there is only one way to look at something; and to search for new meaning in something they may have seen before.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

I saw reds, blues and yellow color as primary and large areas are in orange and green as secondary colors.. There is some Value contrast of whites creating a sense of volumetric depth. I apply some gradation values which provide contours to detail forms of water surface with some increase of color intensity in order to bring the image to life.

  • Alas . . . I Knew Him, Horatio Acrylic on Fabric Size of Piece: 13 x 12 x 4 I choose articles of clothing for my images in an intuitive manner. For this work, I dissected a man's dress shirt, then reassembled and stitched the pieces into a composition that felt aesthetically pleasing.

  • Mexican Dancer Digital Photograph Size of Piece: 17.25 x 12.5 x 1 I love photographing people on the street. "Mexican Dancer", one of my earliest works was taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and it was during a show that took place on the beach. The beautiful colors of the dancer's dress, as well as the elegant motion, inspired me to take this portrait. I waited for the moment she paused after the dance was over. This piece did take a bit of post processing, to darken the background, which was very busy. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

    In Heart to Heart Tea Talk, I explore the idea of connections that bind us as humans and invoke memories of past and present. The painting is an invitation to remember a special time as you perhaps had a tea party or shared a warm cup of something with a dear one. It was created during a time of turmoil to escape, meditate and process all that was happening in the world. They build and reveal themselves as I add traces of lace as a symbol of nurturing. I scan, print and collage handwriting, and add more layers to create a rich surface.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

    My work is about sky.  We live in the sky, usually at ground level, and it is the most volatile and vibrant part of our world, our every next breath. Refracturing cuts and reassembling the image into the pieces we focus on before our mind stitches it back together to one scene.   My addition of poetry that I write for the skyscape guides the user to the feeling behind the painting.  Sunset brought the proof, this was a beautiful day, it ended in gold.   Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
