Artist Showcase, Late Summer 2019

Twenty-two artists share work that expresses their inspiration and passion for creating art. Each name is a link to the artist’s own website.

 

 

Monika Harmund Csanyi

As an oil painter, I find inspiration in fragments of nature and the man-made world. I love to see things from a different perspective—a perspective that is also a part of our reality and our colorful life.

 

 

KC Lancaster

Beloved animals and their power over us have always fascinated me. It’s healing to bring their images into art, whether it be fantasy or realistic, and to pull the viewer into a happier internal space.

 

 

Cynthia Garbutt

Encaustic art uses the elements of fire, wax and oil paint to create a singular textured piece of abstract art. Influenced by nature, as an encaustic artist, I enjoy the contemporary marriage of these elements.

 

 

Guylaine Duval

“Night Frenzy” is a transition between two worlds, what we see and what we don’t see, such as mushrooms growing and sporulating, insects pollinizing and transporting spores and bugs mating and living inside mushrooms and plants.

 

 

Ann Croghan

Using numerous layers of transparent color glazes and drawing inspiration from nature, clouds and the universe, I want to captivate viewers in a positive way—to inspire and evoke feelings of joy, peace and divine grace.

 

 

Rachel S. Beck

I use my imagination, an unconventional color palette and a mix of realism and abstract to convert daytime into night scenes of some of the most iconic landscapes from various state parks.

 

 

Nancy Smyth

The subjects of my artwork are mainly horses and dogs. Formal or relaxed, sleeping or playing, I strive to capture their unique characters. This is my work, but more importantly, my enjoyment and my passion!

 

 

Cathy Ehrler

Reduce, reuse, recycle is my mantra and I have applied it to my art. Instead of burning my unsold work I’ve cut it up and repurposed it into more creative pieces. It brings me “Joy.”

 

 

Mary Taglieri

My work is inspired by the natural beauty of the world and how much that beauty can heal. I hope people viewing it can feel the harmony and peace within it.

 

 

Roberta Veatch

I am a multimedia artist who favors the creative process of art making. Inspired by circumstance and cognitive dissonance, I create distinct limited series in an effort to expand my consciousness.

 

 

Brenda Carolan

My expression comes from my intuition and my ability to feel energy and easily access the soul. My passion is the search for truth, the energetic pull of beauty and the soul made visible.

 

 

Sara Maddox

My art often focuses on the constant presence of media images in our lives. I isolate television or movie moments from their accompanying story to show what remains when the narrative is removed.

 

 

Linda Steele

My inspiration comes from the fluid acrylic pour, it’s how I enhance the painting. My enthusiasm for creativity was renewed when I discovered fluid acrylic painting knowing I had to make each unique pour very special.

 

 

Carol-Ann Salley

My desire is to share the beauty of nature through my acrylic paintings on canvas. I depict realistic scenes inviting the viewer in to experience the beauty for themselves.

 

 

Debra Cortese

White Beard appears in this powerful area of the Delaware River only during winter periods when waves of acute energetic resonance open or close multi-dimensional star gates for approved travelers.

 

 

Judith Randall

I am a mixed media contemporary artist. I work mostly in acrylics and acrylic mediums. I work intuitively and with symbolism. My art is a way to communicate and put love in the world.

 

 

Ma Udaysree Nithyananda

I create powerful art that is profound but simple and centers around the Bindu or dot. The Bindu invites you to explore the unknown and hidden side of your Being through meditation on it.

 

 

Heike Gramckow

The impressionists use of color, light and shadow inspire my paintings, but I use bolder colors to create images that produce emotions. I paint in oil and pastel, and often use gouache when painting outside.

 

 

Darrel Kanyok

It’s cold, grey and hurried outside but inside there’s a relaxing cozy wingback chair to nestle into, a cup of tea and a good book—a quiet place.

 

 

Lucy Jordan

I use a multi-layered technique with bright underpainting to capture the unique light of my adopted home, Greece. I adore the natural world and endeavor to capture it’s magic so others can be equally awestruck.

 

 

Kara Lasiewicz

I enjoy working with the composition and lighting of the figure, playing with juxtaposition and disrupting realism. The use of color, value and paint handling is something I am always experimenting with.

 

 

Jacqueline England

As a realism artist, I enjoy painting all types of animals. When I can add a little humour to one of them, as with the “You Can’t See Me…” painting, it is an added bonus.
