dreamlike acrylic painting by Barbara L. Chapman

“As if in a Dream …” acrylic on stretched canvas, 30″ x 40″ by Barbara L. Chapman

 

Barbara L. Chapman

This painting  was inspired by the ever changing light of late winter in the Pacific Northwest. The light and hues of color seem almost magical and  filled with mystery and dreaminess.

 

whimsical fantasy figurative painting by Indi Carlton

“Portrait of the Emberkeeper” acrylic, 20″ x 16″ by Indi Carlton

 

Indi Carlton

I create vivid, dreamlike paintings and sculptural works exploring imagination, animal consciousness, and interconnectedness. Through bold color, symbolism, and an intuitive process, my art invites wonder, curiosity, and a compassionate vision of our shared world.

 

mixed media artwork depicting two queens by Sergii Filin

“Two Queens” mixed media and ink on paper, 80 × 67.3 cm by Sergii Filin

 

Sergii Filin

My abstract works emerge from lifelong dreaming of imagined worlds, blending images and structure to balance chaos and control through layered, hand-made compositions in ink, pencil, and acrylic. When words fail, there is art.

 

fantasy flower painting by Jillian Eliott

“Wallflower” acrylic, 24″ x 36″ by Jillian Elliott

 

Jillian Elliott

My art focuses on bodily experiences and dynamics. As a chronically ill, queer, and neurodiverse painter I explore the intersection of pleasure and pain with bold blocking and bright colors to create partially abstracted pieces influenced by a love of nature, a floral design career, and pop art.

 

figurative drawing by Greg Johnson

“Quiet Desperation” oil sticks on illustration board, 30″ x 20″ by Greg Johnson

 

Greg Johnson

My work is very eclectic and tends to create itself spontaneously. Its origins are internal, deeply emotional and usually very personal.

 

dreamlike forest painting by Jennifer Niemiroski

“Playing in the Forest” watercolor and mixed media (Prismacolor pencils, pastels), 12″ x 12″ by Jennifer Niemiroski

 

Jennifer Niemiroski

Quiet reflections from time spent in nature, telling the stories of trees, woodland creatures, and flowing streams.

 

fantasy oil painting of a tree by Tom Hessler

“Life’s Force” oil on canvas, 30″ x 48″ by Tom Hessler

 

Tom Hessler

I enjoy expressing myself through art, and have been creating for decades. I am working on oil on canvas paintings, using “Old Masters” techniques to create colorful, emotional, abstract expressions of the beauty of nature.

 

digital print o f a woman in Florence by Michael Higgs

“Lady In Florence” digital photo print by Michael Higgs

 

Michael Higgs

Life is lived when it is explored. My artwork is my exploration of the world around me. I capture all I can and I love to share it with everyone.

 

mixed media portrait of a woman

“Tara” acrylic, glaze, cement and mixed media on canvas, 30″ x 40″ by Corina Ioana

 

Corina Ioana

Tara explores identity, erosion, and emergence through layered acrylic, glaze, cement, and mixed media surfaces. Suspended between concealment and revelation, the figure appears excavated from memory and time, blurring the boundary between portrait, artifact, and apparition.

 

glass painting of a birch forest by Barb Mueller

“Winter Somnolence” glass, 11″ x 14″ by Barb Mueller

 

Barb Mueller

Birch trees in the snow is one of my favorite “painting with glass” works. It’s entirely made of glass powder and frit (ground glass), layered and kiln fired multiple times to achieve depth and texture.

 

swirling colored abstract digital art by Kathy Chicoine

“Color Coded” photography/digital art by Kathy Chicoine

 

Kathie Chicoine

I love taking photos of nature, but my real joy comes from creating new images digitally from my original photos. My abstract images burst with color. I am a self-taught artist.

 

abstract luminescent artwork by Aparajita Sen

“Bioluminenscence Brilliance” acrylic on canvas, 18″ x 24″ by Aparajita Sen

 

Aparajita Sen

My art resonates with a sense of mystery, poetry, rhythm, and movement of patterns in nature and environment. I am intrigued by symbolism and impressions which I like to present in a contemporary and abstract style with brilliant colors. I enjoy bringing these bright compositions to my viewers with various mediums.

 

painting of a Japanese drumming ritual

“Sol” oil and acrylic on canvas, 40″ x 40″ by April Paige

 

April Paige

Sol is a celebration of rhythm and presence, inspired by Japanese Kodo drumming. A glowing sun floats over deep red, where movement meets stillness and sound becomes spirit within a field of powerful, focused energy.
