Abstract painting by Bettina Neu

My paintings are visual dialogues in colour and shape, translating observations of the world and impressions of life into abstract compositions. I seek balance and surprise to create works that speak to both heart and eye.

 

painting of two birds in a pastel palette

“The Conversation” Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, 28″ x 40″ by Sharon Matusiak

 

Sharon Matusiak

Crows are one of the most intelligent birds. Here we see them gathering to converse, as they are very community minded spirits. I can only imagine they foresee more destruction from fires, storms and wars.

 

abstracted painting of a field of flowers

“Beyond” acrylic, 30″ x 24″ by Alene Nitzky

 

Alene Nitzky

I paint abstract and semi-representational landscapes and florals in acrylic. My inspiration comes from long days spent outdoors, observing changes in the seasons, shadows and light, wind and weather, and color.

 

urban landscape painting by Denise Grossman

“Promise of Things Unseen” oil and cold wax medium 24″ x18″ by Denise Grossman

I am a visual artist/painter focused on impressionistic landscapes. My central theme captures the spiritual nature of landscapes with organic contrast of light/shadow and textural layers of paint. My medium is oil and cold wax.

 

abstract painting representing the drama of a bullfight

“Fury and Flourish” (Spain) from the Portraits of Nations series, acrylic on canvas, 18″ X 18″

 

Seta Injeyan

Inspired by Spain’s fervent spirit, this painting merges rhythm, conflict, and celebration into a dance of color and form. Energy and elegance collide, echoing cultural memory and timeless passion.

 

abstract painting inspired by ocean waves

“Ocean” mixed media on canvas, 12″ x 12″ by Shaylin McEwen

I am an abstract artist creating artworks for healing and transformation. Exhibited in Toronto galleries, including the Beauty of Nature collection, my art embodies resilience and presence through layers of color, texture, and emotion.

 

bold abstract floral painting

“Colors of Remembrance” acrylic and mixed media, 16″ x 24″ by Aruna Dewan

I am a contemporary artist, exploring intuitive abstraction and meditative flow through vibrant acrylic and mixed media work. This original piece celebrates fleeting moments love, memory and emotion and holds deep shadows for quiet reflections.

 

mixed media painting of two parrots

“Tropical Kisses” spray paint, ink, acrylic and oils, 36″ x 36″ by Felicia Gunter

 

Felicia Gunter

As a multimedia artist, I like to use bold colors. I want my art to bring joy to my audience, and sometimes add whimsical elements or titles.

 

painting of orchids

“Orchids on Wooden Table” acrylic on paper, 9″ x 12″ by Alexis Chontos

 

Alexis Chontos

At 78, I joyfully pursue painting with acrylics and watercolor, capturing orchids, landscapes, and people. Teaching web design informs my experimental process, blending creativity and problem-solving as I grow into a professional art career.

 

painting of two women after Gauguin

“Two Thoroughly Modern Women” oil, 26″ x 32″ by Miriam Besa

 

Miriam Besa

Inspired by Paul Gauguin’s  two Tahitian women in a serene state of reverence, as they offer flowers, and fruits at a ceremony. To echo Gauguin’s Symbolism period, I have used the ripe, sensuous, irresistible cherries to symbolize a sweet character and the sweetness of p. The blossoms bring spring, a new beginning and growth.

As an artist living in Brooklyn, my usual sights of graffiti and grit have become embedded into my creative process. I work in a large variety of mediums and especially love working with textures.

 

whimsical llama design

“Llama No Drama” digital art, 5″ x 5″ by Elisandra Lopes

 

Elisandra Lopes

I am a licensed mental health counselor/art therapist by day and illustrator/designer by night. I’m from Cabo Verde, and speak three other languages (can you guess what they are?) I love creating artwork influenced by nature, environments, education, and mental health.

My Overflow and Balance explores the flow of energy stuck, released, and renewed. It invites grounding with the earth to restore harmony, release overwhelm, and transform daily life into balance and clarity.
