Kirstin Apple

“I paint my own tension. In other words, I work from the body itself because I feel it as a semi-contained, hesitantly expanding vessel.”

Jim Bloom

“to handle the stuff is not to be afraid, and know its going to turn into something.”

Tom Brady

Tom Brady completely redefines the conventional ideas of traditional realism and expressionism.

Christopher Callahan

“I don't talk about my work. What the viewer walks away with is for them, my words shouldn’t influence their experience.”

Adam Lee Farrell

“The ability to create a specific, recognizable image using minimal information allows for the paint itself to rival the suggestion of image.”

Jack Fisher

“My investigation into what abstract art can be uses many conventions that I often abandon in search of more basic means of communication and reaching my goal; a unique and meaningful voice.”

Ashly Flynn

“I am most interested in sacrifice, and how someone or something feeds off it for their own needs. I am trying to recreate the scars that these sacrifices leave behind.”

Tamara Giesberts

“The building (silent witness) makes us conscious of our own story, inevitably limited by time: the building is a fascinating signal of our notorious existential anxiety.”

Marjorie Grigonis

“My abstract drawings and paintings are the visual record of exploration, criticism, trial and error, and discovery.”

Nancy E. F. Halbert

“I was a choreographer and modern dancer for most of my life. It is the balance between energy and stillness that I focus on in my art. I reflect this discord in a gesture and painterly fashion.”

Anna Belle Loeb

“When I walk into my studio I am really there to see what shows up.”

Margaret Oechsli

“There is a complex, hidden matrix underlying our fragile human environment that only photomicrography can view.”

Petros Pappalas

“Though I work from photographs, my paintings are still from life.”

Kenneth E. Parris III

“In my work, I explore inter-personal relationships and the effect of an individual’s actions on the surrounding human landscape.”

Ober-Rae Starr Livingston

“It is the feeling, the flow of energy that I really love about the painting process.”

Brian Smith

“I try to hold reverence from reference. There is the difference between a painting and a picture.”

R. Michael Walsh

Walsh’s paintings are unique and haunting. Emotionally jarring, they are filled with Biblical and mystical imagery and figures.
