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 […]

Throughout her education organic shapes inspired her and forms found in nature and has maintained this in her current work. She is […]
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 […]
My work can be described as surrealistic photomontage..It is a combination of photographic parts from several different photographs put together seamlessly to make a new image. It represents dreamlike scenes populated with odd juxtapositions and fantastical worlds. I print my own work on archival papers. http://davidrabin.deviantart.com 47 Lincoln […]
My mixed media work explores and creates connections between objects and images, focusing on actual and imagined links between place, past and present. Using traditional and innovative techniques in my painting, I juxtapose oils and wax on wood or canvas surfaces with found remnants. These artifacts of personal histories are essential to my artistic process, and […]
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 […]
Elizabeth de Bethune is a figurative/representational (sometimes) painter/drawer/printmaking, who frequently works back and forth between media and materials. Much of her work combines collage as well. Although mostly “realistic”, her work plays back and forth between illusion and surface. A recent series involves images of people looking at art, painted upon heavily collaged surfaces. The […]
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, […]

He works as the Studio Manager and in-house photographer/videographer for MAC Group US. When he gets back to his home studio, he compiles small artist books, collages, and photographs that have made […]
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 […]
While I have been focused on my book, “The Migraine Book: A Memoir in Pictures” in recent years, this year I’ve chosen to feature another genre that I have worked in most of my life: abstraction. It fascinates me to try to create images that have no reference to the narrative world, letting go of exterior […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Pre Raphaelites have always been a source of inspiration and admiration to me. I have the utmost respect for those artists whose mission was to bring beauty and spiritualism to a 19th Century Industrial Age England. My work comes from a place of marrying wit with classical as well as mystical elements to create […]
