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 […]
I’ve long been fascinated by working with ephemeral materials—sand, soil, spices, tea and coffee—and the interplay that manipulating them sets in motion: physical and emotional serendipities. Some images are animated at speed under the camera, while others beg for more attention: layers of pattern, exactitude of pose or expression. After some resistance, I now find […]
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 […]

Much of my work is painted on site in the spirit of Courbet and Van Gogh. The larger studio pieces are contemplative visions of river waters nourishing and flushing human infrastructure, with river creatures mirroring our physical and psychological health. I’m trying to foster wildness in the late industrial age. I live in Hastings-on-Hudson 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 […]

I love to paint. I am drawn irresistibly to the landscape, to its forms and colors and particularly its light, which varies so dramatically throughout the day and throughout the seasons. Beauty is always an important consideration. I cannot paint a subject unless I see something beautiful in it, something that makes me grateful to […]

As a balance to my weekly cartoon strip for “Six Chix”, I like to paint landscapes. For the landscapes, I use the water based medium called gouache, and for the cartoons, I use a combination of pen and ink and a digital tablet and stylus. As a cartoonist, I’m inspired by human nature, especially as […]
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, […]

There is a particular aspect of drawing that I find especially gratifying – it’s the capacity to produce an image that seems to be spontaneously executed . While a painting is a summing up, an accumulation of many small steps resulting in a conclusion, a drawing gives the impression of the artist’s thoughts, manifesting themselves […]
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 […]

Nicole LaLiberty is a self-taught illustrator and comic artist living in Tarrytown. Her work includes many comics, zines, and prints, which deal with themes ranging from self-deprecation to female sexuality to cats to mental health.
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 […]
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 […]
