Joan Duff-Bohrer  [1]
 
Oil Painting, Mixed Media

Joan Duff-Bohrer’s work features strong color and a loose painterly style. Though considered a colorist, Duff-Bohrer favors random drawing which introduces surprises and chance associations in order to discover her subject. Duff-Bohrer’s philosophy is mirrored in Georgia O’Keefe’s quote: “I paint to know what I think".

 Jeri Macdonald  [11]

 Oil Painting

Over the past year, Jeri Macdonald had been painting black-and-white portraits of friends and family on a 12"x12" format. Like her still-lifes, these are also done in a close-up and intimate perspective. This same format (close-up and intimate) is one she uses when painting her dog portrait commissions.

  Adriano Manocchia  [9]

  Oil Painting, Watercolor

Adriano Manocchia paints in a traditional, realistic method using oil on board. "Manocchia’s unique style of contemporary realism takes the viewer vicariously into his ‘waterscapes’… He has created a niche all his own in American Sporting Art,… His gift of conveying the water's magic through his art is making a meaningful contribution to today's art scene.” -

Hannie Eisma Varosy  [3]
  
Pastels, Oil Paint, Acrylic Paint, Metal, Wire, Wooden Boxes, Fabric

Hannie Varosy derives her inspiration from her family, friends and students. She is also inspired by nature, by inanimate things and shapes, by concepts, by what goes on in the world, by Life.

 Virginia McNeice 
[7]

  Pastels & Oil Painting

Intense light and color, inspired by the seasonal changes of the pastures, croplands and the simple barn shapes of Washington County are the hallmarks of Virginia McNeice’s paintings in pastel and oil. Working from her own photographs in the studio or in the fields surrounding her farm, she will often paint the same subject at different times of day or in different seasons.

Anastasia Lee Nute  [6]
  Surface-designed Hand-Wovens, Textiles and bas-relief Sculpture

"
Color has always been my driving passion in life.  I am infinitely intrigued with the myriad complexities of color and pattern with texture. I am often stimulated by what has come before (the previous mark) which might shift me into another, unexpected direction.  It is in the discovery of 'what if' and the willingness to take risks that magic happens."

Leslie Parke  [8]
  Oil Painting

Leslie Parke is in a relentless pursuit of painting light effects: light reflections, transparencies, translucencies, glitter, sparkle, shimmer. How light affects natural surfaces, such as flowers, shells and water; and artificial surfaces, such as patent leather, foil, Mylar, transparent ribbons, glass, crystal, and silver. “The more elusive and impossible the image is to paint the more it interests me”.

Leslie Anne Peck  [5]
  Oil Painting

Leslie Anne Peck began her artistic career as a freelance illustrator for romance book covers. While still enjoying a tremendous success in the publishing field, Peck's love for portraiture of people and animals has found its expression in the oil paintings she now masterfully creates. Her favorite subject for paintings has become the farm animals from the countryside surrounding her studio.

  Gyula Varosy  [2]

   Wood, Bronze and Steel Sculpture, Drawings

 "Beginning with unadorned tree trunks, Varosy chisels primeval figures that bear the unmistakable marks of the metal tools employed in his prolonged carving battle. Primary pigments are then added as aniline dyes to the wood-grained forms. A blue angel sits astride a red horse, a vermilion figure joins itself to a red-colored horse, and a bronzed Sisyphus valiantly struggles to roll a burnt umber ball up an unseen incline." -
Ruth Newman, NYU Windows Gallery, NYC
