The chair project has been the main focus of my recent work.  I built two chair shaped objects that I have painted every day for a year.

Elaine Schloss

Sometimes my work is realistic, sometimes I work in semi-abstract forms. But it has always been about the face and the figure, the emotion and the form…and color.

My paintings are conversations. The images state a position or a feeling that I define with color, shades, and shadows.

 

 

 

Trine Giaever

I see the landscape as a more direct means of creating a mood. I hope I am painting the light and color to match the feeling the landscape is giving off.

Janice Baragwanath

I am primarily a painter, working in transparent watercolor. My style is realistic. I paint what I see, what I like, what is dear to me.

My photographs are often described as “painterly,” because my work has a certain abstract aspect to it. I look for the extraordinary in the ordinary – the surprising things you see when you take a closer look at everyday objects and environments.

I draw. For as long as I can recall, I drew. Put a pencil or pen in my hand and a blank page in front of me and I’ll find a way to fill it.

Most of all, I love using pen and ink.  The permanence is what really attracts me to this medium.  If I make a mistake, I just keep going and make it work. This medium usually lends itself to my illustrative work and numerous drawings.

Faces have always fascinated me. For as long as I can remember, it has been my desire to draw and paint them.  Through the use of mixed media, I create art that expresses connection.

Ann Oppenheim

When my children were young, my mother-in-law, a sculptor herself, suggested that I take a sculpting class. My pieces are bronzed at local foundries, including Polich Tallix, New York Art Foundry and Stewart Sculpture Casting.
