I am drawn to painting desserts for their enticing textures, shapes, and colors that seduce you with mouth-watering rewards. However, since I can’t eat sweets like I used to, my personal relationship with food and decadent treats has evolved. Recently I have been experimenting with the juxtaposition of broccoli and other vegetables with sweets in […]
Carol Herd-Rodriguez imposes a deliberate lens of childlike wonder in her process. She maintains that everyone has a limitless potential to perceive the ordinary as extraordinary. Through keeping a focus on the beauty found in memories of what has been and dreams of what may be, the process and the work becomes a meditation on […]
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” Marc Chagall I took a 34 year break from art as I pursued a successful career as a corporate executive. I returned to painting in 2010. As I picked up my paintbrushes again, I realized that my art was not […]
Recent work focuses on my childhood in Wales. My paintings play around with the concept of memory and how it is captured, represented and viewed. http://www.catrinperih.com James Harmon Community Center 44 Main St. Hastings on Hudson, NY
Combining found elements with those fashioned by my own hand, my work encompasses two- and three-dimensional collage as well as sculptural objects. Infused with a rich sense of history, the essence of my work lies in the age-old struggle between nature and the man-made industrial world. My challenge is to convey that sense of conflict […]
Inspired by artists Naum Gabo, Alexander Calder, and Raider Nelson and mathematician/model builder Theodore Olivier, I continue in 2017 to use straight lines to produce three dimensional curves. One present focus is the suspension of multiple shapes at once. Website 17 Riverview Place Hastings on Hudson, NY
Living and working as an architect in Hastings on Hudson, surrounded by the natural beauty of the area, as well as many intense thinkers and artists, I attempt to both explore and find peace. A house is a physical shelter, a place to live and to dream. It has a constructed meaning and it is […]
I move from a moment in nature to the back-story of cities dying and being reborn, to faces/people in the middle of their personal stories. In all instances, if it touches me I need to catch it and express it. And as for my choice of medium, I select each one for how it moves […]
My artwork might be described as mostly abstract and organic in nature, however I tend not to confine it to a particular definition or style as my enjoyment comes from experiencing and exploring the unlimited possibilities that allow me to express creativity. I continue to be influenced by certain Asian philosophies and artists as well […]

I am extremely enthusiastic about contemporary art and design. I enjoy exploring new ideas, techniques and technologies. I like to go with the flow and be in the moment […]
Gabrielle Burger is a painter and designer living in Tarrytown, NY. Her paintings focus on floral still lives, serene landscapes, and the beauty of everyday objects. Nature plays a meaningful role in her art, offering respite from the monotonous confines of cubicles and screens. Merging the natural world with detailed and fabricated settings, she finds […]
SATURDAY only My paintings and multi-media collage are born of curiosity about the world traveled, coupled with the world I can create. Besides responding to architecture, I am also responding to my relationship to my near daily commute into Grand Central Terminal. New York’s architecture provokes and induces thought; emotions are aroused by looming buildings, […]
My work in all mediums is shaped by love of natural forms, surfaces with history, observed expression and spontaneous line. I work by painting, drawing, print making, and putting things together to solve something. Art making is work, and play. It is serious exploration and always a collaboration of materials and ideas. I attended Rhode […]
I am interested in visual subjects exploring authenticity and identity, feminism and destruction. I am curious about the constructs of creativity in bilingual cultures and the limits of language in different cultures. I am disturbed by injustice, and my response was to create a depiction of language’s potential ambiguities. Language is power, and lack of […]

As an artist, I’ve always found myself split between two disciplines: photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect what I see in the world around me. They are my eye looking outward. My mixed media work, on the other hand, is my eye looking inward. In my photographic work, I look for compositional elements of […]
For 40 years, a painter fascinated by the subtleties of color and light, interested in conveying more than what is apparent on the surface. Shown in museums and galleries.

Though I’ve been a painter for many years, the last five years have taken me into the realm of weaving. These weaving s have taken many forms from sculptural installation to traditional objects to incorporation into painting. http://miadebethuneart.weebly.com Save Save SaveSave
My work explores dreams, memories and the passage of time using found images and thin transparent layers of acrylic paint. Distorted, altered and rewritten is how I prefer to approach the past; time always changes our perceptions of life. Collage has been a favorite medium of mine for forty years. Using fragments of images from […]
I believe in the power of art to transform a space, to create a moment, and most importantly, to evoke emotion, beauty, freedom and authenticity. I live for color, bold design, strong contrasts and texture. As a photographer I love to watch the light, seek out colors, imagine a scene in black and white, and […]
These days I’m mostly working among three related currents. Square watercolor “tile” mosaic – which sometimes feel like scapes (land, sea, sky). I think of these as being “about” my appreciation and love of color and material (water color/pigment, paper, brushes, marks); they are also an attempt to address and involve negative space, with light […]
SUNDAY only I seek to create work that transcends its source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. The power of the natural environment is a continuing source of inspiration.I create layered landscape images with multiple realities that progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two. They are expanded […]
My world is of earth and spirit. Nature is at once a deep source of inspiration, and a comforting healer. More than anything, the quality of light which radiates from and about the subject is what I am moved to capture. I try to express the essence – the spirit of a place, a person, […]
For years I have been taking photographic notes that serve as a collective library of imagery to draw upon when creating paintings. The light always has this extraordinary way of changing the reality of what I am photographing, always suggesting transformation and a sense of an extended moment in time. The objects that catch this […]
I make drawings and site-specific installations for private, commercial, and alternative settings. I prefer to work in the architecture of the everyday—on the walls, windows, and doors that often go unnoticed or ignored until I leave abstract traces in an explosion of color, natural light or, text. My work is as likely to include a message as […]
It’s been two years since my last studio tour and during that time I’ve continued to paint improvisations, some more figurative than others. I’ve also revisited sculpture with a series of small scale works, often humorous. In addition I continue to fabricate woodworking projects for fun and profit. This year Jazz Forum will be hosting […]
