pastel on paper, mounted photograph 25 x 32" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. The effects are invigorating and enlightening and allows the viewer to pause and restore. I create these stills by combining the elements: ie. photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments. The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My most memorable highlight was being reviewed by Sam Hunter, Art Critic and Historian of Modern and Contemporary Art who found my work “refreshingly unique”. This has been a common theme among many of her positive reviews. “Nancy offers a “different” approach and passion to drawing. She is consistent in her vision…one can always recognize her signature style no matter how much she has changed or grown.” Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

colored pencil on paper 34 x 23" New Beginnings is a portrait of my son using my own reference photographs, imagination and live luna moths that we raised and studied. The use of the luna moth and rosemary are to symbolize transformation, renewal, regeneration, faith, love, remembrance, and clarity after overcoming the trials and tribulations of the pandemic. My goal was to use a vibrant, saturated and painterly style to create a magical mood. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic & colored pencil on wood 16 x 20 x 1.5" In my newest series, "Motion" I am exploring the concept of inertia and how that relates to ADHD. I’m sure most of you remember hearing the phrase “an object in motion stays in motion” from high school physics. I take it another step to say “a body in motion stays in motion. People with ADHD can have a difficult time transitioning between tasks. This can be mistaken for “laziness”. For example, if I’m sitting on the couch eating breakfast and know I have to get up to get ready to work, a lot of the time I just can’t. I know I need to, and I even WANT to get up. But my body remains seated. Or, I found in college that if I leaned on my forearms on my lofted bed, I’d get stuck doom-scrolling online for hours. Though my body may be still, my mind is still whirring. I have found that the only way to counteract this is to keep my body moving too—to move from task to task without physically pausing (unless I’m trying to take an intentional break). It’s a daily challenge that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to. My “Motion” series aims to reflect the duality of my mind moving while my body stays where it is and yearns to move forward.

photogravure etching 11 x 12" I am a visual artist working in the San Francisco Bay Area, and show my work locally and nationally. My artwork explores themes of nature in the form of animals, lands, skies and waters, always looking for the spirit within. It was Christmas Eve on the beach at Isle of Palms, SC, during the polar vortex, 19 degrees out. Everything was frozen, the sand and dunes, the water puddles, and even the wildlife. Nonetheless, we walked aside the surf, bundled in our puffy jackets and knit hats, scarves and gloves, and soaked in the ambiance, the salt water air, the sound of the waves, the hardness of the cold sand, observing the few birds that were flying around us or skittering on the beach. Upon encountering this very cold little crab, I felt so bad for it, and when I reached out to touch it, it moved. Ah, he is alive! I thought as I put him back into the waves, “there is hope”. This piece is a photogravure etching, the image made on photopolymer solar plates. It is fitting that both sun and water are involved in the process of making the plates, and contributed to the translation of the image.

mixed media painting 30 x 40 x 2" The Sheep in Snow is a 30 x40” mixed media painting on Rives BFK paper. I adhered the original drawing onto a cradled wood panel. I then continued to paint into it and complete it with varnish. The gradual merging of the sheep and the snow in the background is reminiscent of many a snowstorm on the road to Syracuse where the snow clouded the vision ahead.

acrylic on canvas board 20 x 16" Many times, I have visited Alaska and was enchanted and inspired by winter's beauty of nature showing off frozen dreams and abstract realities. Although that time of the year can certainly be harsh, it still offers the view of unique magnificence. It motivated me to paint Baby, It's Cold Outside. The cool shades of blue make underline the feeling of extreme cold. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic on paper 22 x 40" For me, winter unfolds as a season of deep introspection and rejuvenation. It signifies a retreat, a gentle withdrawal into the cocoon of contemplation. It's a moment to hit the pause button, release a contemplative exhale, and immerse myself in a review of the past year. My surroundings undergo a magical transformation where the intricate lace of bare branches embellishes the muted backdrop. The air takes on a crisp quality, carrying a profound sense of clarity and calmness. In the snow-covered forest surrounding my home, a hushed and muffled symphony of nature emerges, creating a tranquil ambiance. Winter beckons me to embrace solitude, encouraging me to discover the beauty inherent in the stillness that blankets everything.

bronze 21 x 6 x 6" The wish for warmth and shelter after an earthquake and in the face of a winter storm is the subject of this sculpture. In 2005 the residents of the Vale of Kashmir huddled against the cold and wind in just those conditions. I was working on the plastilene model for this bronze in the summer time and could not shake the chill.

digital art 42 x 26 x 1.5" I am a digital artist who uses synesthetic visions and sensory intrusions to create my artistic realities. As a Florida-based artist, the only frozen we usually get is the margaritas poured, so please pass the lime! I am a color-driven artist due to synesthesia. I am also a prolific artist who has acquired savantism and "feels" art 24/7. That feeling requires an intense amount of time and focus. I use so many digital tools for each piece that I have lost count of them. No work is created in precisely the same way. These three digital submissions exemplify how I use fractal art and delve into formulas and geometry. This method is often the way I begin my art creation but not how I end it. These works exemplify the variety I create as a "digital art chameleon." I am an abstract artist within the Techspressionism movement founded by Colin Goldberg.

acrylic 24 x 32" Traveling through Iceland and Alaska has provided many vistas of cold and frozen, snowy and rocky, desolate and comforting spaces. The deep quiet interrupted by a calving glacier, a roaring waterfall or the whoosh of an eagle's wings call me to capture yet another image. Painting these memories challenges my expression of the extremes of the winter seasons and climates....the sharpness of frozen ice.... and the softness of fallen snow....the deep blacks of volcanic rock and the pale blues of sky and waters. The shapes in these natural environments lend themselves easily to abstract expressions. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

silverpoint on paper 4 x 7 x .5" Winter’s cold clarity of light echoes silverpoint’s play of light from metal particles, as in a scene of the skyline silhouettes of sentinel trees I drew in chilly Brittany, as I huddled in my car. In the Blue Mountains, a dead pine tree epitomized the wintertime quiet of death, hibernation or new life forming. Frozen realities also use winter symbolically. The genesis of Frozen in Time (Japan) was a photograph my grandfather took in 1924 Japan, a country shocked and reeling after the Great Kanto Earthquake: a photographic record of time frozen, a landscape long forgotten and changed, yet to me utterly poignant and eloquent.

oil on canvas 20 x 24" The view across the field or down to the water while spending time in Maine draws me into the feeling of nature surrounding me. Seasonally I find the changes of the drama always changing but I have to find different ways of painting or drawing it. The shadows of winter or so different. The trees create amazing patterns in the snow that bring me back to my textile days. I try to create it like an impressionistic design.

encaustic on cradled panel 14 x 11 x 2" Winter presents a dichotomy of emotions and feelings to me. On the one hand, the holidays render it a festive time of year replete with family gatherings and traditions. In Polar Caps, I was referencing glaciers and ice fields in the northern latitudes and how extremely quiet and lonely it must be. This is the true duality of winter. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

encaustic 8 x 6" In my current work I am exploring cellular shifts and the many changes that affect our thinking, food, environment and daily life. We are swept away by images flooding our phones and on screens everywhere. I try and step back and reflect on the driving forces beneath view or below our conscious musings. I work in layers whether in monotype, collage or encaustic to represent these layers of meaning. Scraping away wax, adding layers in the press and obscuring text with collage seems to suit my eclectic brain. I want my viewers to stop and look and be surprised at these small works. I use symbols, text and images to tell a larger story. I want to draw in views so that the more they look the more they will see.

printmaking 5.25 x 6" Printmaking has a huge number of subcategories. Among other techniques, I enjoy both carving plates (as in linoleum, gomuban or woodblock) and inscribing them (as on metal or plexiglas). Then of course, next comes printing them in varied colors, combinations or papers, sometimes adding another medium, such as watercolor. Inspirations are varied, often reflecting the moment of time, place and activity, whether domestic, nature, sport or music. Engaging in artistic reflection is a way to improve observation, capture a memory, and invite a viewer to see through one's eyes.

drawing 9 x 12" The ink drawing of the Lumberville, PA Foot Bridge is a simplified, almost Zen like attempt to honor an early suspension cable bridge designed by John A. Roebling, the architect of the Brooklyn Bridge. Roebling was the inventor of the suspension cable and needed to test the cables to make sure they were strong enough to sustain a bridge. The first suspension cable bridge he designed was the foot bridge located in Lumberville PA. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

sculpture 11 x 9 x 11" It is often hard to appreciate the seasons of life, the aging, the changing, the growing, the adapting, and the coping. But the pain disappears when I remember there is a reason for each season, and it is merely so we can get to the next - Winter is here in hibernation; thinking and breathing; storing energy; coiling it up for the destined release.

pastel 12 x 9" There are two ways I approach my paintings. With abstract paintings, I start with no plan. I start with mark making, texture and/or paints, inks, etc. and let my intuition guide me. I may use acrylic, oil, ink, watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, or all, along with many materials I’ve collected to add texture. I love this approach because it is so freeing. I love the play of bright colors against neutrals, dark against light, texture against smooth. I may end up with a painting I like or I may not. If not, I keep working and adding layers/scraping away until I do. Painting like this sometimes seems to be about solving problems, using my technical skills, letting my intuition guide me. With abstracts, I'm usually inspired by a strong emotion I'm feeling. The visual has more of an impact in expression than words do. The mind is too involved with words, but with visuals, so many senses and subconscious feelings come into play. I paint landscapes by planning a scene that captures; playing with different color schemes that best express what I see, doing sketches to determine the best layout and composition. The painting may or may not follow the course I planned. I get excited about the contrast between shadows and light coming from behind, or the surprising amount of color in an ocean wave, or the moodiness of a sky.

sculpture 14 x 15 x 7" I created Healing Hands after I had gone through two years of grueling, intense, hand therapy to regain the use of my left hand, which I almost severed in a near-fatal studio accident. The original sculpture intuitively flowed from the chisels. It was a spiritual experience to have the piece evolve without hesitation. The original marble sculpture was cut in a pristine white, Colorado Yule Marble. I have cast bronzes of the original sculpture, which is owned by my brilliant hand therapist-- who healed the hand and the spirit at the same time. It is a possibility that this piece will be cast large-scale in the future. Today I am still carving one-of-a-kind stone pieces--two which have been commissioned as five-foot bronzes. A third twelve foot bronze is being developed and will go to production in the next few months. The three sculptures will be the focal points for a sculpture garden in Knoxville, Tennessee. They are due for installation in 2025. Having just reached the ripe old age of 81, I am happy to say that I am still able to follow my passion. Each day is most definitely a gift!

The future of the internet, the future of the news, of fake news, social media, of pay walls and spam, of Julian Assange and Edward Snowdon and the world.’ John Lee Hancock, from the movie adaptation of Mr. Harrigans Phone and a novella of the same title by Stephen King.

oil 12 x 12" My artwork is about personal connection - to each other, to the space around us, and to the things within it. I use color in my work to represent life and emotion, and to create make-believe places. They are dreamlike worlds I fill with pattern, shape and semi-recognizable objects. I hope the ambiguity in my work allows the viewer to find their own story in it. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

digital 12 x 12" Diana de Avila is an artist based in Sarasota, FL, who embarked on her artistic journey in 2017. During that time, Diana faced the challenges of relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) and worsening traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, amidst these difficulties, her artistic gift suddenly and explosively emerged, fueled by acquired savant syndrome and synesthesia. Despite lacking formal training, de Avila has created over 2000 digital art pieces rooted in fractal geometry, drawing inspiration from the convergence of quantum physics, chaos theory, and divine order. Her cosmic digital art, both dynamic and serene, delves into various technological expressions of art. Within the artistic movement "Techspressionism," founded by Colin Goldberg, she has found her "tribe," continually pushing the boundaries of her digital art and exploring innovative approaches to creation. Diana holds the title of Signature member in the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) and is a National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) member. She is also part of the Sarasota artist collective known as SArtQ and is represented by DEFINE Art Gallery in Sarasota, FL.

sculpture 3 x 5 x 5" Freshly graduated from music school and looking to establish a vocal /piano career I took a job as lead solderer for Hart Stained Glass. While discovering that I didn’t love production work, I did fall in love with glass and metal. I have been learning from these materials in a wide variety of processes and techniques ever since. I create both decorative objects and contemporary art pieces. I am inspired natural organic forms,Wall art includes encaustic, oil and watercolors. Enameling and metal work requires patience, precision, and surrender on the part of the artist. Both glass and metal are, like nature, at times malleable and at times unyielding. Currently I create in my home studio in Woodstock CT and my shared Enamel studio “Fire and Light” in Worcester MA. Nest was created from vitreous enamel, gold foil, copper, copper wire, brass wire.

pastel 12 x 9" The natural world always inspires me to paint with pastels. Cobalt reflections was inspired by a local hike after a recent snowfall.

pastel 11 x 14" I have developed a group of totally imaginary magically realistic oil paintings that I call my “Water Circus” series. The joy of taking a man-made or natural object and creating something new and fresh is very appealing to me. I allow myself a chance to play, to feel the rhythm of their form and reveal the hidden image in a new and unique way. I like to leave all possibilities open, to start unattached to the outcome, with everything totally permitted, thus enabling me to fully enjoy the process of discovery. I make my own paint by hand mixing dry pigments with burnt plate oil (a refined linseed oil used as the binder for etching ink). Because of this, I use thin glazes of the primary colors, add Liquin to hasten the drying, and build multiple layers of opaque values of each color in the egg tempera technique manner. The finished color relationships are always a surprise. This painting is a portrait of characters developed in this series.

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.

acrylic 14 x 11" Inspired by the Spanish artist Goya and the French artist Chardin's still-life paintings, Amber explores themes of death and deterioration in her paintings. Her artworks are in every way unlike traditional still life paintings, they are raw and brutal, provocative in their simplicity and directness. Amber's paintings are at once both macabre and stunningly alluring. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

encaustic 7 x 5" One of the things I enjoy about traveling is finding new sources of inspiration for my artwork. It’s exciting to find subject matter completely different from my own New York environment. Years ago, while raising my daughters, I put painting on hold and turned to photography, developing and printing my own black and white photographs. I eventually returned to painting and today the darkroom is obsolete, but I have found a way to incorporate my love of photography with my love of painting. I utilize the photographic images to create encaustic pieces. The process involves turning a color photograph into a high resolution, black and white image. That image is then printed on white paper and burnished into the already painted, warm wax surface, on the encaustic board. The paper is then gently removed by wetting it, and rubbing it off, leaving the ink behind. After that process is finished I may add more paint to the surface. It is also possible to create more texture with the wax if that is what is needed. Encaustic, when polished, has a luminescence not seen in other mediums.

sculpture 10 x 12 x 7" I create expressive sculptural forms from natural materials, drawing inspiration from both nature and the human figure, yet venturing toward abstraction. The essence of my work often embodies a biomorphic aesthetic, offering a tangible representation of our human connection to the environment. The idiosyncrasies of each piece of stone or wood present unique technical and creative opportunities. I approach this with a blend of intuitive and calculated design solutions, constantly seeking to unveil the spirit inherent in each material. Employing pneumatic and electrical tools, I meticulously finalize the finish through hand polishing. When I engage directly with the process, it transcends to an unconscious state of mind. I commence by studying the stone or piece of wood—observing its shape, color, and constitution. I inquire, 'What is it telling me?' and envision how I can breathe life into it through movement, revealing the beauty concealed within and the spirit that resonates with the viewer. The stone both inspires and teases me. As I progress with a particular vision, I sometimes find myself uncovering an entirely different one. The process of carving into a piece of living, natural material elicits moments of joy and excitement, intertwined with periods of doubt and struggle.

sculpture 15 x 10 x 15" Albert Einstein once wrote, "Look deep into nature and you will understand everything." I have looked at nature and seen much symbolism and metaphor for what is happening in the world today. My artwork focuses on the chaos, mystery, and whimsey in nature. The whimsey is sometimes dark, sometimes not, but always points to the foibles of human nature. Nature is innately smarter than man. It has solved many problems we are grappling with. Perhaps what surrounds us is the secret to survival. Nature has the ability to evolve and adapt to change the environmental conditions. It has slowly adapted to climate change hastened by man, but will it continue to? My ever-evolving artwork has become more activist and narrative driven, and explores some of these ideas and more.

acrylic 11 x 14" My passion in creating art is to experiment with different surfaces, media and techniques. I follow spontaneous perceptions and inspirations to create my abstract paintings and to catch the viewer’s eye. The energy of colors, the material and the texture inspire me every day. This continuing, intimate process gives me the opportunity to add a unique, special effect to my abstract work. My art speaks for itself, is powerful and invites the viewer to interpretation using memories and experiences. There is no right or wrong.

oil 8 x 10" Irina’s work is driven by passion to explore and celebrate life. She is searching for beauty, balance, harmony and the ideal, following the philosophy of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy who believed that “beauty will save the world.” Art has always been Irina’s salvation and the fountain from which she could draw inspiration, strength, love and serenity. Irina is working primarily in oils in various genres, including portraits and figurative work, florals, still lives and landscapes. Recently she is exploring pastels, a new medium for her, which is experiencing Renaissance in the United States and which has been more widely adopted in Europe. Irina is also using digital media as her tool of storytelling to touch the audience’s hearts. Being equally good in traditional media and in digital arts, Irina explored a newly found ground in digital illustration by writing, illustrating, designing and publishing a new children’s book Balloon at Noon and Other Stories. Irina’s main influences, at least for the moment, are the Florentine Renaissance painters of the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci, Tintoretto, Veronese, Titian, among others. She has found it gratifying to rediscover realism and to dedicate time to study and observe form, light and color. She is painting and drawing live models again to explore the subtle shadows, softness, and warmth of human flesh, as well as the texture and radiance of everyday objects. It feels as though it took Irina a long time, down an ever-winding road, to become a fine artist. There were many detours along.

acrylic 15 x 15" My paintings celebrate those moments when our compassion for others illuminates and transforms us and the world around us. These acts of love and kindness are often unnoticed and forgotten. The women in my work are nurturers and peacemakers. Since ancient times women have personified compassion, wisdom and peace. I am a storyteller and my paintings have been described as "visual poetry". Stories help us to remember that we are all connected, and what affects one of us, affects all of us. They have the power to inspire us to create the inner peace that sows the seeds for compassion for others. Our intimate connection with nature and our role as nurturers and protectors are reoccurring themes in my work. Albert Schweitzer once said that until we extend the circle of our compassion to all living things, we will not find peace. Acrylics and oils are my primary media. Drawing is a defining element for me, I begin by blocking out major shapes with a strong dark line. Using linear brushstrokes that create movement, unity and rhythm, I add multiple layers of color, texture, pattern and sometimes canvas, continually refining my original drawing. My goal is to tell a universal story of compassion, peace and joy. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

mixed media 14 x 11" My work combines painting with collage. This blending of different media enhances the visual mystery that I strive to express. My art is inspired by stories, personal experiences, visual images, and interests in psychology and spirituality. The ambiguous nature of my pieces is my invitation to viewers to become actively engaged in interpreting the work.

mixed media 9 x 9.5" I reinterpret Palestinian identity through contemporary Tatreez, a traditional cross-stitch embroidery, and the keffiyeh, which is a traditional headscarf. The freehand stitched designs, created with a sewing machine on water-soluble fabric, blend with multimedia layers on canvas or paper. This intertwining reflects women’s self-expression and diasporic identity. The torn and stitched layers symbolize the resilience of identity by tearing apart and using thread to stitch back together multimedia-painted layers on canvas or paper, showing the complexities of identity and the power of heritage.

oil 12 x 12" Mareshet is a Surrealist painter originally from Philadelphia. Her inspiration for capturing the details of distinctive brick walls, storefronts, and graffiti in Philadelphia neighborhoods comes from her desire to reconnect to her city roots. Her artworks in oil are technical and less imaginary compared to her works in acyclic, also known as her passion pieces. They consist of dream-like scenes that evoke narrative renderings of new perspectives found after heartache. Both mediums and styles play a significant role in telling a complex or straightforward story. Mareshet focuses on capturing the presence of nature, its changing seasons, inorganic elements, such as metal structures, and its stillness in connection with mankind's curiosity. She has studied using other mediums such as alkyd, mixed media, and charcoal and currently uses the direct painting method and Grisaille technique to complete her works.
