I love these things—building an image through an experimental process of pouring, scraping, blotting and brushing on color until something with a kind of “truth” comes about. My intentions are less visual than emotional.
Artist Showcase, Late Spring 2018
Each piece has a story that unfolds through symbols, color and texture.
Featured Artist Amy Guion Clay
In life and art, I long for the horizon. There is an invisible tether that pulls me toward the unknown, and this is reflected in the artwork that I do. Even in my purely abstract paintings, it’s always about a mythical journey of discovery. I always want to know what is beyond.

Some artists will say the subject of their work is not important. It’s the technique or the style one uses to render the subject that is essential. For me, it begins with the subject and that’s what gets me going.

To me, there is no greater gift in life than to be able to create a painting and see it evolve. I can never predict the outcome of a painting as it develops over time. In that way, art imitates life and life imitates art.
Featured Artist Patrice A. Federspiel

My goal is to leave the world a better place through the appreciation of art. I love the life I have claimed for myself and feel very lucky and grateful for this focus I have in the creative pursuit of art.
Featured Artist Shanlin Ye
I make use of washes to form an abundance of effects. I am fascinated by the fluidity and ungoverned nature of watercolor. I enjoy watching the water and the color dancing on paper.
Featured Artist Ruth Armitage
Painting for me has become a kind of salve for loss. My sense of the place amounts to more than the soil, the landscape, the house or the people. It is some magical concoction of all of them, wrapped in history, secrecy and love.
Featured Artist Katherine Weber
I can’t wait to see what the colors decide to do, as I allow them to mix and mingle, usually a triad of poured colors. I have happily abandoned all control.
Featured Artist Pam Little
Sometimes I will photograph a more spectacular sunrise for later reference, but most of the paintings I do of this vista are from observation or memory.
