Painting and Pastels

Artist Bio

Throughout my life, painting and drawing has given me a meaningful connection with the world, and a way to express this to others. My paintings are abstract impressions of natural subjects - landscapes, cityscapes, still life and figurative. I use the brush, pastels and paint, to bring to life my connection with the interlocking of light, colors and shapes on paper and canvas.

Artist Bio

When I make my art, I try to stay true to the passionate feelings I get when I come up with an idea, whether it came from a dream, or from an image that inspired me. My work usually doesn't change much from my original idea. Except, that I add a little unexpected twist to my pieces that I don't usually discover until I am just about finished. And to me, that is the most exciting part because the idea comes out of nowhere, not even from a dream. It surprizes me as I hope it does my viewers.

Fabric

Artist Bio

Although she has been sewing and creating since childhood, Ann Lee has only recently recognized herself as an artist. Her sister was an artist; her daughter was an artist; she wasn’t an artist, was she? Only slowly did she recognize that it’s her constitutional need to create things with cloth and to try new combinations, materials, and techniques that made her an artist not a degree or certificate.

I was bitten by the silversmithing bug in the early 70's and spent many years away. The call of metals and stones and unique ways of combining them became too much to resist and here I am!

Jewelry

Artist Bio

I love the endless possibilities that working with metal presents. As I create, my goal for each piece is to reflect true craftmanship. Many of my pieces are one of a kind or limited edition, each one cut and formed by hand. I love the possibilities that come with twisting, weaving, and shaping wire, moving and forming metal. It is what keeps me experimenting with, and exploring this wonderful medium. After teaching elementary education, special education, religious education, and Tae Kwon Do, I have turned my attention back to my first love, which is to create using my hands. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoyed crafting them.

Sculpture/Painting

Artist Bio

I have a BFA from Boston University and have worked in the field of sculpture for over 20 years. "As a sculptor/painter, I predominantly expresses myself through images of the human figure. Sensitivity to the human condition inspires me to create images of strength and beauty on a personable and friendly scale." Ancient techniques of mold making and clay work play a large part in the process of my work; yet my choice of materials can be variable and contemporary. Recent work involves an exploration of color and texture using new and varied mediums.

Painting

Artist Bio

I am intrigued by how we perceive the world around us. Our vision and our perceptions are influenced by a multitude of factors including our knowledge base, our upbringing, the speed with which we move, our optical nerves, the time of day and many, many other factors. These factors alter our perceptions in ways that can cause the things in life that are closest to us to be out of focus, objects in the middle ground are sometime glimpsed with clarity but in the distance things can again appear ambiguous. These visual and mental limits of our perception fascinate me.
