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 […]
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” Marc Chagall I took a 34 year break from art as I pursued a successful career as a corporate executive. I returned to painting in 2010. As I picked up my paintbrushes again, I realized that my art was not […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
My interest in movement and background in dance led me to explore various methods of expressing kinetic energy in still photographs. Recently I’ve used a moving camera and long shutter speeds to create images using various light sources and subjects. I strive to create work that conveys vitality, joy and transcendence. After dancing with ballet […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]

Living in Hastings on Hudson for almost a decade and a half; she began the first steps to drawing and painting in 1997 and had her first gallery show in October of 2005.

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 […]
For 40 years, a painter fascinated by the subtleties of color and light, interested in conveying more than what is apparent on the surface. Shown in museums and galleries. A literary press has published a book of her poems about the process/emotions of creating: available on Amazon or finishinglinepress.com, search for Meg Lindsay: A PAINTER’S […]
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 […]
I believe in the power of art to transform a space, to create a moment, and most importantly, to evoke emotion, beauty, freedom and authenticity. I live for color, bold design, strong contrasts and texture. As a photographer I love to watch the light, seek out colors, imagine a scene in black and white, and […]
“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 […]
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, […]
As a fine artist, Susan places color on paper, seeking calm, clarity and perspective. She has developed a distinct mosaic-style watercolor technique -pure color on paper.. This technique, as demonstrated in her most recent work, has evolved to create images of deceptively rich complexity. Creating images and impressions has been Susan’s occupation and obsession for […]
Susan Richman Photography “I am an interpreter of what surrounds me”, and the camera is my instrument of choice. It affords a unique way to see my world and to reveal what is found in my imagination. Both in my series Ephemeral and my yet-to-be- titled latest series are created using unorthodox materials that are […]
