Here is a sampling of participating artists

Mark Spencer

Mark Spencer creates abstractions and hyper- realistic  images with equal aplomb. Large paintings start as tiny 2 inch thumbnail abstractions. The abstractions metamorphose for the artist into the imagery which forms the basis for small canvas studies,actually perfectly rendered paintings in their own right. Finally,after months , or years,the full sized hyper-realistic paintings using classical techniques combining egg emulsion and white titanium to create highly polished sumptuous old-world like surfaces are realized. Solo Exhibitions: Gerald Peters Gallery, Arnot Art Museum, Frye Art Museum.

Suzette Keegan

Is inspired by nature. Most of her landscapes are painted outside, on site. When she is not outside enjoying nature, she is inside her studio either finishing and refining an outdoor painting or working on a still life. Current Exhibitions:  Nomades del Arte , TVM, and  Plein Air Painters of New Mexico.

Gary Denmark

Sound defines space for our bodies. Without thinking we hear the information  in sound and judge our position in space accordingly. In his improvisational paintings, Gary Denmark seems to listen to color in just this way. He follows an inner rhythm with his tools, placing colors and textures intuitively. Like a dancer following choreography,Denmark follows an inner sense of direction.

Shirley Klinghoffer

My artwork is very personal. It addresses life situations, universal concerns-some of which hit close to home. Often I use the human body, or parts of the body, to convey an idea.I have consistently explored the use of multiplicity of forms and sensual minimalism with a variety of materials including tinted rubber, wax, plaster, and resins. Provocative elements, dark humor,and machinery to create movement have surfaced in my recent sculpture-in addition to my core use of visual puns and irony.  Exhibitions: CCA, Central Fine Arts, Harwood Art Center, Smithsonian International Gallery, Bergen Museum.

Brian o'mally

Exploration,discovery,and the unexpected are the elements of craft that Brian O'Mally thrives on. By changing the center point of a thrown pot or finding a new way to manipulate a hand built piece in combination with the dramatic effects offered up by the Raku process and smoke firing. He endeavors to always be surprised by the possibilities inherent in clay.
