Annie Arrasmith creates hand-pull monotype prints using a paint made from kaolin, water and pure artist's pigments. Because kaolin is inert and artist's pigments are permanent, the finished piece is incredibly stable.The print is mounted onto a specially built box and wood panel. Her goal is to follow the process and make work with a living center, that breathes and vibrates, work that's alive.

I often struggle with the arrangement and rearrangement of shapes, along with applying the appropriate colors in order to explore spatial interaction between objects and backgrounds. The geometric elements often represent deconstructed thoughts. Black lines, if they appear, may seem to connect the conscious and the unconscious. Figures in some work are simplified representations, shadow-like, faceless and without details. Flat and contemplative, they seem to float on the canvass, in need of an answer for being there. While other works are intricate geometrical constructions, where lines and forms are more definite and obvious, or are a series of thin layers of colors melting into one another as in the impressions of landscapes paintings, the search for a balance between the inner self and the outer world is the focus point of my work.

The work of Jonah Burlingame is not an academic pursuit but rather an exploration of process and experimentation toward an aesthetic uprooted of any representation or symbolism. He doesn't try to reveal any truths but merely tries to guide serendipity to create something visually engaging.

Q: Take an interest in art , architecture, and mathematics then mix it with clay and an HIV diagnosis, and what do you get? A: A series of complex forms and patterns that coalesce into a style that I refer to as "Geometric Repressionism". The saturated colors of the curved surfaces act as an emotional anchor and represent the boundaries of a calm, contained universe. Meanwhile, along the dissected planes, geometric adornment is utilized to reveal an energy within. These layered patterns also act as a structural membrane which seems to support the forms I've created.

Diane's paintings are an ongoing exploration of the complexity of the human spirit, its quirks and its inconsistencies. Realism is the launchpad for her imagemaking; and much as realism involves a 2-dimensional interpretation of the 3-dimensional concept of space, her studies of motion and emotion strive to channel the multi-dimensional concept of time - and relation to the changeability of human nature - through a 2-dimensional format.

Cheryl Finfrock combines print, scratch, and paint to create colorful mixed media paintings on wood, canvas, and paper. With works steeped in narrative expressionism and a touch of whimsy, this native Texan has recently exhibited in Berlin and the Czech Republic.

April Hankins is a painter and a printmaker working in collage.  Using Parisian photographs, found images and ornamental textiles she pairs architectural imagery with that of natural forms paralleling human design with mathematical patterns found in botany and biology.  

Elements of her imagery, texture and color are influenced by French architecture, Buddhist thangkas, Tarot cards, textiles and mathematical patterns.

Gina Jacupke has long explored unconventional practices in her art, such as embedding Chinese healing herbs in wax and resin. In this way she emphasizes her favorite themes of renewal, natural rhythms, and cycles of universal symbols. Some of her most recent works reference the architecture of the human body, while others inspired by ancient cultural designs such as checkerboards, crescent moons, and crosses.

Andrzej's paintings explore aspects of pop art culture and contemporary figure painting. His abstract paintings are explorations of color, texture, and imagination. With a background in architecture and figure illustration, Andrzej sees painting as a visual language between form and composition, color and emotion.

Jamie Krueger's photography began simply as an attempt to document personal travel adventures. It has since evolved into a deeper exploration of architectural forms, history, antiquity, decay, the nature of permanence and impermanence, and the role of human beings within these constructs.

Recognized for her dynamic compositions and color sensibility, Poloto exploits a vibrant visual vocabulary of boldness and subtlety. The result is a body of work characterized by equal amounts of surprise, playfulness and provocation.

Ellen Rosenthal's photography is concerned with color, texture, incongruity, humor and, of course, light.

Catherine Small's current body of work presents intriguing yet vulnerable people in compositions invoking varying degrees of tension and desire. Painted in strong, vibrant colors, these oils on canvases feature the figures surrounded by flowing striped fabrics. Together, these images represent an observable harmony and beauty that may mask a complex ugliness.
