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.

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
It is only in the past four years that I have incorporated my artistic yearnings into my life as a mother, former teacher and translator, and recovering over-committer. Mosaic art has since become a very meditative journey. The manual breaking of glass, marble, rock, or found objects and then setting them piece by piece into […]

“In 1975 I began working in Cass Corridor, a tough but culturally significant district of Detroit, shaping and assembling discarded motorcycle and salvaged steel parts. The process has evolved into acetylene and electric welded constructions. I still choose to use discarded mechanical artifacts because I find them singularly precious and beautiful. Though I’ve lived in […]
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, […]
I paint in an unheated studio which at night takes on the atmosphere of a space capsule. I am alone and would like to have something outside myself draw the marks that open a portal. The important part is letting the mind submit and the body direct the marks being made inside each layer of […]
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 […]
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 […]

This year, I’ve been particularly captured by the building up and tearing down of the Tappan Zee Bridge. A benefit cruise held by Groundworks* took us under the bridge, where you could see both the old and new structures and the lines drawn by the new cables and supports.
