LAND SEA SKY - Solo Show
January 11 - February 22, 2025
"Land Sea Sky" is a collection of paintings with organic motifs. These paintings grew out of the simple exercise of exploring the different marks a brush can make. Following my curiosity, I noticed that at some point, I was using the filbert brush and making repetitive similar strokes that looked like a school of fish or petals. This experience ultimately evolved into the paintings in this collection, some of which are more structured than others, all of them using some iteration of a repetitive brush stroke that feels meditative in the moment. The choice of colors is sometimes premeditated but more often is made in the moment as I work on a painting. As I paint in this style, I often feel calm and immersed in a flow of colors. Through these works, I invite viewers to find their own sense of calm and connection to nature’s patterns. The interplay of shapes and colors is meant to evoke a meditative experience, encouraging personal reflection.

Juried by Armando Jaramillo Garcia and Curated by Fortunata Schiano
“Color, forms, shapes, subject matter are all concepts used by artists to express themselves: through REALISM—art which aims to reproduce reality and THE ABSTRACT: art which can convert those same concepts into patterns of color, forms, and shapes.

“Ranging from figurative paintings to beaded textiles to biomorphic abstraction, the featured 32 featured artists—each represented by three artworks—manifest the power of the series, showing what can be conveyed through a body of work, rather than just one…Beyond expected figurative paintings, these studies of the body delve into biological processes, the psyche, and the sculptural nature of the human form. This multifaceted section spans Ruth Shafer’s playful, upholstered breasts; Shushanik Karapetyan’s sleek, colorful visions of women’s health and pregnancy; and Amy Chasse’s whimsical interpretations of a jaunty cowboy.”
