Edge of the Pond
Edge of the Pond
Joyce Indelicato
$220.00


Artist statement: Using soft pastels on sanded paper, I primarily paint impressionistic landscapes. I am most inspired by the play of light and shadow on natural forms – trees, grasses, rocks, and water – that subtly illuminates their hidden connections to each other and of course, ultimately, to ourselves. Landscape paintings can provide a momentary respite from the "noise" of our daily lives and remind us of the deep primal connection we have to the natural world.
Specific medium: Pastels on sanded paper

At the Birdbath
Carolyn Kinloch-Winkler
$1,200.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: At first glance this is a picture of ten young sparrows at the birdbath, each with it's own agenda. In reality it is a study of light and shadow. I always work from my own photographic materials and here I chose from several photos. I picked each bird on the basis of personality or the way the light and shadow played on and around it.

Elizabeth Koah

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: Faces are stories. I am driven to portray these stories through my artwork. Using watercolor on paper, I focus on detail and likeness to capture my subject and show their personality, their emotions, their story. I use layers of color to create depth and draw the viewer in. Through the process of painting my subjects I get to know them. My goal is to bring life to the paper so the viewer can know them too. Through my portraits I celebrate each of my subjects and tell their stories.

Amy Kyungah Lee
$450.00


Artist statement: The images of my painting come from a journey of ordinary objects and scenes. My charge is to take what I see as simply as it presents itself, with no artificiality. I express as the language of “life.” Every object is unique in its own form and color, but if there is no “life the uniqueness is also absent. I’m looking to see what I can draw from each object, by creating a natural flow, continuity, such as a dream; so it is spontaneously moving around in natural melody.

Jacqueline Marchesseault


Artist statement: The blurry edges between mental health and illness, the variability of states of being, and the tangled interweaving paths of memory, meaning and response - all are central concepts that inspire me as an artist. While the subject matter and approach of each piece varies, that emotion is inseparable from my art. Through elements of repetition and memory, variation and cohesion, I often seek to capture something as intangible as the complex interworking of human thought and emotion.
