Fine art print on cotton paper 26 x 39 inches $1,800 2021 New York, NY anaistost.com I’m fascinated by the idea of “elsewhere”: Elsewhere both is and can be anywhere else and everywhere else. Working with layers of various mediums creates that vision and feeling of Elsewhere. Placing together elements so for a moment, I find myself there, a moment of stability in an ever-changing life. Through art I create a place to be at peace, to belong to, a home unbound to one permanent geographical or physical location.

16 x 20 x 1 inches $600 Mixed Media Textile Pflugerville, TX www.daniellembenda.com My artworks address social and cultural needs and intend to empower women in communities around the globe while promoting identity and inclusion as a global heritage. Behind each creation lies an inspiration from my lifetime of experiences and my lifelong passion as an artist. I embarked on a journey to raise awareness of gender-based violence from an artistic perspective. I’ve been there. I used to express myself through the patterns and colors in what I designed and wore. That became a true inspiration driving my passion for women’s empowerment while building on my legacy to positively impact future generations of women by stopping them from slipping into the trauma of violence, gender inequality, and women subjugation. My commitment expands into Diversity and Inclusion. I want to show there are inherent values in the African heritage. My artworks highlight the beauty of diversity. It’s part of the cultural exchange, making the world a more beautiful, connected place for everyone.

Paper, textiles 60 x 48 inches $3,000 2021 Kent, CT https://www.instagram.com/stacybogdonoff/ I make two and three-dimensional art exploring the theme of “Home and Shelter” and how those change as we age and move through life. My tools and media are diverse. They include portable coat racks employed as looms and a 100 lb. metal rolling mill used for both hardening brass and embossing linen. I use foot long steel needles, single ply silk thread, florist wire, tea-stained vintage aprons, oil slicked plastic picked up in the street, and used baker’s parchment paper. I mix and match, and compare and contrast my mixed media always keeping it in line by referring back to the theme of “Home and Shelter”. My work may look abstract but it’s not. It’s deeply representational. “18 Houses” and “50 in the City” are part of a series “All the Places I’ve Ever Lived” and “One Less” explores the loss of a sibling, a change in a family. It is a gift to be an artist and I have never doubted its place in my life. Living with the process is my favorite place to be.

Photograph 12 x 9 inches $600 Port Wentworth, GA Some of my biggest inspirations in my art are the mundane and banal. Simple shapes, objects, and lines encountered countless times in everyday life tend to capture my attention. In this project, I photographed objects found in and around power lines in stark black-and-white. When presented in this way, these wires and metal pieces are transformed into graphic, almost landscape-like images.

Acrylic on wrapped canvas 24 x 24 inches $530 2010 Windsor, CO rebeccabch.fineartstudioonline.com I remember. We could breathe without filters.

The Earth we know is already disappearing. Our window is closing.

Light sculpture 16 x 18 inches $1,440 2015 Brooklyn, NY www.paulacastillot.com In the attempt to expose the essential role of light and darkness in how we perceive our environment, my art investigates the capacity of light illusions as a way to heighten our perception of light phenomena to physically and experientially engage people in space.

Digital photograph on cotton rag, dibond mount, satin lamina 32 x 45 inches $4,400 2021 Santa Fe, NM www.nataliechristensenphoto.com My interest is in investigating the more banal peripheral landscapes that often go unnoticed by the casual observer. I choose to shoot in locations that may be viewed as uninteresting or even visually off-putting. Closed and open doors, empty parking lots and forgotten swimming pools draw me into a scene; yet it is my reactions to these objects and spaces that elicit interpretation and projection. This is exciting and challenging for me, to “see” something hiding in plain sight. The symbols and spaces in my images are an invitation to explore a rich world concealed from consciousness and an enticement to contemplate narratives that have no remarkable life yet tap into something deeply familiar to our experience; often disturbing, sometimes amusing...unquestionably present.

Photography of found object assemblage 16 x 20 inches $850 2017 Seattle, WA www.instagram.com/spicytwig/ I create because I am immensely curious to see what will happen next. Often it’s not what I expect.” As temperatures and weather intensify due to climate change, I've been moved to create new work that explores and brings attention to the ever present threat of forest fires in the summer and fall across my little corner of the world, the US Northwest. The apocalyptic smoke-filled scenes and burned out forests filled my mind and camera this year. This series focuses on capturing and visually transforming the stark aftermath of forest fires in Washington State. The works tie into the high contrast theme on many levels — color, form and subject matter. Contrasting close-up found objects scavenged from the burned forest floor with “big picture” landscape scenes, and the cold, snowy days of winter against the charred remains of burning hot summers. Ever present in my mind is also the overarching theme of contrasting the past with the present.

Photography 16 x 20 inches $175 2015 Milton, NY Photography has become fully intertwined with my life over the years. Visualizing photographs is part of my overall perception – how I experience the world. This is both a blessing and a curse. It is welcome when I am actively shooting or mentally open to creating and it fuels a curiosity about the structure (how things fit together) and character (what they are like) of the world I see, including both natural and built objects and subjects. At times it is unwelcome and difficult to shut off.

Acrylic and metallic pigments on shaped canvas structure 45 x 52 inches $2,800 2021 Lahaina, HI http://jackreilly.com This piece from my new "Disk" series represents my latest explorations into contemporary abstraction. Each painting from this group is executed on a round shaped canvas (tondo). The background consists of an airbrushed "color field" sharply contrasted by a polychromed linear or circular element in the foreground, which is packed with dense, gesturally applied color, indicative of my signature brushwork. It may appear that the polychromed "element" is floating in the foreground, but this is an optical illusion. My work as a pioneer of "Abstract Illusionism" has been well documented since the late 1970's, when I also began working exclusively on shaped-canvas structures. A goal is to reappraise and comment on evolving issues that originated in twentieth-century abstract painting and continue into today's contemporary genres

Woven, collaged, painted paper 64 x 55 inches $2,200 2021 Germantown, NY www.ejestudioart.com My work has been described as “some otherworldly mash-up of quilts and paintings and sculpture and something else altogether,” and that “something else” is what interests me. This body of work goes beyond the painted rectangle to explore form, color and the illusion of space, a study in contrasts: fiber vs. paper; two-dimensions vs three; the systematic grid disrupted. The result is an unpredicted painting. Or a virtual sculpture?

Photography 18 x 14 inches $275 2020 Columbia, SC edward-shmunes.pixels.com My challenge as an artist is to present a fresh and engaging approach to any material. I try to give an honest, although somewhat surreal, commentary on the real or imagined world that surrounds me.

Photo digital pigment 6 x 9 inches $200 2021 Portland, OR eliotallenphotography.com To paraphrase Garry Winogrand, I photograph to find out what something looks like photographed. I enjoy geometry, juxtaposition, ambiguity. And the work of painters like Carmen Herrera, Sol LeWitt, Richard Diebenkorn, and Robert Bechtle. A great image is one that contains several possible narratives or finds an unexpected abstraction. At the end, it’s about catching moments of visual serendipity.

Oil on canvas 30 x 30 inches NFS 2020 Wappingers Falls, NY destinyariannastudio.com New York-based artist, Destiny Arianna graduated from Bowdoin College, with a Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies, Art History, and Visual Arts. After entering her first technical art classes during her sophomore year of college, she encountered a pedagogy that excluded Black portraiture. The gap in her artistic training led her to pursue the study of race in arts education. Taking the skills, she acquired through self-teaching Arianna continues to focus on depictions of Blackness in art. Over the past year, Arianna has used painting, photography, and collage to explore her Black and Indigenous identity, with a focus on land, lineage, and language. Her works address the hypervisibility, visibility, and invisibility of her racial and cultural identities. Arianna addresses the deeply rooted connection between the rich culture she was immersed in growing up and its relation to the violent history of her ancestry to reconstruct a narrative of beauty, resilience, and survival in her work.

Cast concrete, reclaimed metal and pigment 4.5 x 19 x 19 inches $750 2021 Columbus, OH www.carolboramhays.com Industrialization has changed our planet at great cost to the environment. As the cycle of consumption and obsolescence has become increasingly rapid, this disposable lifestyle is leaving our natural and human resources abused. Attempting to adapt to the onslaught of changes being done to the environment by humans, nature is increasingly creating hybrid forms that fuse the man-made with the natural. These hybrids are like many of products we consume – are simultaneously compelling and toxic. Using these new life forms as inspiration, I use reclaimed metal from and cast it within concrete, and then color their surfaces. The uncanny forms are intended to suggest an animated fusion of the organic and industrial and the colors evoke the natural changes that are happening to these materials. All of these hybrids characterize the new reality that of our Anthropocene age. The forms that I create are intended to suggest that nature will triumph long after humans are extinct.

Found sign, steel, wood, paint 18 x 6 x 5 inches $1,500 2021 Bozeman, MT https://www.canonparker.com/ I am interested in the metamorphosis between concept and material which allows us to shape the world. The phenomena of existence is systematically dissected by language and logic– the unity is shattered and re-organized into an infinitely complex machine of symbols which informs our sensorial interpretation of reality, and allows us to share our understandings. For any communication to exist, however, it must be given a body in the form of some combination of physical phenomena. This perpetual feedback loop defines our individual beliefs and sense of reality. As an artist, I like to toy with this loop, investigating how objects can break down and recombine into new abstracted forms. The reconfiguration of material–symbol interactions can yield surprising results from humble materials. My work floats in the liminal space between object and phenomena, the open waters of understanding.
