SATURDAY only The subject of my work – the architecture and landscape of the urban/suburban environment – is for me a potent reflection of the lives we live. Much of what I depict is in plain sight, but it is often deliberately or unconsciously overlooked. I work only from direct observation, usually doing watercolors, drawings […]

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 […]
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 […]

She is a life long lover of art, and has additionally taken classes at the Arts Student League of New York, SUNY Purchase, and Westchester Community College. She has also pursued the mentorship […]
Mark-making is, for me, a meditative state. I love manipulating materials—both conventional and unorthodox. No matter whether I am working in paint or pencil, with thread or with found objects, my goal is to create moments of deep feeling—often inspired by the passing of time and my own childhood memories—through an economy of shapes and […]
My new inkjet prints on paper combine ideas from two past sets of work. Packing an array of ovals into a rectangle goes back to paintings I did in the mid-90s, but here I’ve updated the idea with digital manipulations developed in a very different recent series. In the earlier work, the hard-edged ovals remained […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

His still-lifes […]

His ancestral heritage is a rich blend of Native American and Irish. As a child and […]
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 […]

Illustrator/author Marcie Chambers Cuff has spent many years inspiring a life-long love of art and wildness. Her old-school pen-and-ink drawings evolve from intense observation of found objects, experimentation of scale, and nuanced use of crosshatching and mixed ink techniques. Her artwork reflects her love of the outdoors and the genius of everyday things. She addresses […]
Folded paper and mosaic are, at first glance, quite distinct media. Yet they both play with pattern and repetition, geometry and rhythm. Pieces come together to create a puzzle, often unexpectedly. Light and shadow interact to create a deeper, more complex image. My work in paper and mosaic is mathematical and meditative, feeding needs that […]
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 […]

SATURDAY only My recent work is a series called Dialogues of Color, which looks at the relationships of colors and emotions. From an early age we develope color preferences, formed by personal experiences and cultural norms. We feel and react to color. Our color associations can sustain throughout our lives. I hope you visit my […]
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 […]
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 […]
