mixed media 32 x 24 x 3" Contemplating the graphic nature of quilts, I decided to use that concept for a mixed media piece using old photos of my family. I manipulated a photo of myself by turning it into a black-and-white jpg cut and rearranged it to become a graphic outline. I sewed some photos onto the paper with antique buttons, and used tracing paper to "cloud" some of the memories and outline. I continued the stereotype of using quilts as decoration and made the frame to hang the project.

Mixed Media 12 x 12 in. "Am I Allowed to Ask" is one of a series of four paintings. The series is driven by my reaction to current political movements that are attempting to legislate decisions that are deeply personal and profoundly significant to women and their health and well-being —decisions that rightfully belong with the individual, their healthcare provider, and their immediate family.

oil & cold wax on wood panel 20 x 20" This painting was one of my first pieces upon moving to South Carolina. I was inspired by the ever-changing sky as a storm approached along the Intracoastal waterway. This is my first piece using cold wax. I used the cold wax to blend the colors and sought to achieve the glow in the sky. The cold wax was integral in creating the reflections in the water.

oil & cold wax on canvas 18 x 24" My goal is to capture unique landscapes and bring the viewer into the place I have visited. In both paintings I worked to capture the feeling of cold and vastness; and how the animals find resolve in harsh the environments.

Our model was a wonderful person, covered in tattoos and piercings. I thought, at the time, so many people would consider her as different, but why? What if she was a Saint? What if she lived a life full of grace and beauty? I wanted to create layers of colors and hidden bits for people to find when they looked at it. Just like people.

Collage 8 x 10 in. The medium of collage is by nature graphic, textural, structural and filled with fields of color. Experimenting with a smaller format allows me to work out design and media details before going to larger works. Buildings and shadows and colors are rich and diverse in St. Augustine, FL . Walking the streets is a visual treat with buildings dating back to the early 1700s. It was a natural progression for me to produce works from photos I had taken while on a trip to St. Augustine.

mixed media 14 x 14" As a multimedia artist living in Brewster Massachusetts, I draw freely from all the various disciplines of art. Using a computer as both a tool and a collaborator, I layer my original photographs, textures, and drawings together in Photoshop. These separate elements often combine in surprising ways. Working intuitively, I allow for mystery and unpredictability to dictate where the process leads. Living on Cape Cod, I am dazzled by the many moods of the ocean. Perhaps the most spectacular is the power of a storm. To capture my impressions of the drama, I begin with a large paintbrush and black ink. I imagine waves pounding the shore as I splash the ink across the paper. These images are scanned into my computer and arranged in layers one over another using Photoshop. Additional layers of color are added until I feel I have captured the spirit, power and essence of a wave.

Digital 14 x 14"Mary Doering is a multimedia artist who lives in Brewster Massachusetts. I draw freely from the various disciplines of art. Using a computer as both a tool and a collaborator, I layer original photographs, textures, and personal drawings together in Photoshop. These separate elements often combine in surprising ways. Working intuitively, I allow for mystery and unpredictability to dictate where the process leads. Low tide tries to capture Skaket Beach in Orleans, Ma. at low tide. I am fascinated by the variety of surfaces, textures, rivulets and marks left by the receding tide.

Watercolor 9 x 12 in. w/frame 11 x 14 in. Aside from being an accomplished Architect, [the Member] is also a Visual Artist, creating paintings [oil and watercolor], monotypes, and photographs. Her paintings aim to capture the “genius loci,” or essential nature of the place, of key Architectural works. Those explorations have, in turn, assisted with her professional design work. She uses her own photographs as the basis for paintings. Therefore, her passion is travel, and learning about new countries, cities, towns, and landscapes through this artistic endeavor! The paintings submitted for this exhibition portray distinct spaces -- large areas where the built environment is perfectly in sync with the natural world.

watercolor 18 x 25 x 1" "Watercolor Works" explore the relationship between nature and the built environment. Watercolor has been a favorite medium of Architects, prior to the advent of photography, and now as a means of recording the topology of places [i.e., the topographic study of a given place, especially the history of a region]. As an Architect and Urban Designer, Mary Elizabeth Rusz continues in this tradition, Her paintings explore the “genius loci” – the essential quality or special nature of each selected place. Ms. Rusz is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, a Resident Artist of the Salmagundi Club of New York, and a NAWA Signature Member since 2012.

photography 27 x 18" By manipulating light sources, imagery, and time, I create a sense of time travel in each frame. Through the use of vintage source material juxtaposed with modern LED lights, I create a striking tension between old and new. My work is centered around experimentation and the unexpected. The in-camera collage of the moon goddess Selene and her chariot, for example, came to life only after the 30 second exposure was complete and I played back the frame. This approach to photography allows me to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating images that are as surprising as they are beautiful and evoking a sense of wonder while transporting the viewer to another time and place.

Works on Paper 24 x 18 in. Since the pandemic, I have been incorporating masks and braille in monotypes to explore how we hide or reveal ourselves. This series, “Who Sees?”, explores the use of veils, masks, head coverings, face coverings in different cultures. How do we perceive women when they are veiled or masked? Are they disempowered or empowered? Do the masks/veils offer freedom or protection or bondage? The images that I create are multilayered, pushing us to delve deeper into this subject. “Who Sees” simultaneously draws you in and pushes you away.
