Hugh Atkins
Hugh Atkins is a visual artist whose lyrical work yields compositions typically forming mélanges of human forms, landscape, and intricate borders.
Bary Birm
With a studio practice rooted in low toxicity and low waste, Bary works mostly with natural pigments, watercolors, and dyes. Bary creates handmade watercolors and pastels by grinding and mixing raw earth pigments and medium with a glass muller. Repurposing material, like fabric from old bedsheets, is an important part of Bary’s process. Using materials with a lived history gives the fabric a second purpose and gives memory a place. Personal experience is embedded into Bary’s paintings; they are flowing abstractions that focus on fleeting time and the fluidity of life.

Seonglan Kim Boyce
“My painting is about space. I am interested in open spaces in nature, as well as spaces within and without us. It comes to me as an unoccupied empty space with a sense of freedom and possibilities. In my paintings I want to explore this intrinsic quality of space; its expanse, its unspecified dimensions, and the intangible presence within it.”
John Breakey
“The familiar space above the horizon line provides conditions that empower my vision. The powerful brevity of Minimalism and the lasting voices of the Abstract Expressionists motivate me to treat the pure instance of looking out not as an act of passive observance but as a call to action.”
Caroline Coolidge Brown
Caroline Coolidge Brown is a mixed-media printmaker and visual journaler who collects inspiration from her travels far and near. Her playful work combines traditional printmaking processes (etching, monotype, lino and wood block) with collage and paint. “Mixed media printmaking allows me to push expected boundaries of “what is a print?” or “what is a painting?” For me, it's all about the layers - of color, shape and meaning.”
Caroline Chen
Chen paints primarily with oil on canvas. "Painting is personal. The slow act of seeing takes time and hands and grace. I’m striving to express simple truths before me, to paint the emotion as well as the subject itself.”

Diane Hulse
Diane Hulse is an abstract, mixed media artist whose work includes painting, drawing, and objects. With a background in science and the fine arts, she explores internal and external landscapes, as found in the psychological terrain of self and the beauty of our embattled Earth. Intensely curious about almost everything, she studies nature, architecture, poetry, spiritualism, and psychology. Just as curiosity is a pillar of her art, so is imagination. A pink ocean or a monster perched on a beach ball are not farfetched for her. In fact, Hulse often pretends that she can miniaturize herself and walk through her paintings. She agrees with Picasso, who said that it is essential for artists to keep alive the child inside of all of us.

Rich Lopez
“Through my work I seek to embrace the observer in an emotive state - even if momentarily. For example, with awe as one apparently peers down at oceans from above the clouds, or, through another piece feels the force and sounds of breaking waves. The music of mathematics in nature, seen in the spirals of a sunflower or the golden ratio, is often designed into my hand-built ceramics. If my piece can conjure the silent dusky beauty of the sky as the moon rises on a summer eve – then I’ve done well.”

Ken Mabrey
Ken’s work documents the public and private aspects of the American scene in the tradition of Bellows, Hopper, Bishop, Marsh and Sloan. Sometimes tempered with fantasy, the artist takes mundane, everyday events such as eating and shopping and translates them into a joyful with light and irony. Figures move and turn in space through a world flood with light and activity. A full, rich palette is used to enhance his environment full of movement and change. The viewer floats above a scene that vignettes itself into separate worlds that are woven together by mark making, textures and ligh passages. These pieces establish their own mythology, a baroque burlesque of modern urban life in America.
