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 […]
The titles of the works, which are suggestive of allegorical content, serve as introductions to the images narrative. My aim is to engage the viewer in both the title’s verbal association and it’s visual analogy. My hope is that the work will provide both surface and metaphorical readings that will connect the idea with […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

His screenprints draw from these and others influences, while playing with bold graphic images and colors. He currently resides in Tarrytown, NY where he can […]

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 […]
