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".

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.

Serena
Kovalosky's sculptures and vessels are made from heirloom quality

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.” - John F.

[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. "It is always busy in my head," she says. "I
try to practice silence, and 'distill' my topics as they surface
spontaneously."

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
