Dianna Shomaker Artist Statement: Welcome to my art world. I invite you to become acquainted with my work and what it means to me, and further your appreciation for the abstract art that has evolved in tandem with my life. Not all my work is abstract, as is also true of other artists, but I’m basically an intuitive soul. I love a good puzzle. That’s what art is, the unravelling of a puzzle through curiosity, experimentation, and observation. But most importantly to me, it is my intuition that drives what I do.
Now why, you may ask, is that of value for you when viewing my art. Where does it fit in with your impressions? Paintings are powerful tools for my ability to convey, to give me a voice for my inner world. That is the key to unraveling my art. It is as close as I can come to communicating meanings that are too nebulous to put into words.
I bring to the room a very diverse set of experiences throughout my lifetime and my values are based on that. Decisions weren’t always about art but art has always been a driving force. That is also true for the viewer. We are each wonderfully unique to our background. Treasure that uniqueness.
Ultimately, I paint because it beckons me down a pathway of exploration and understanding in this complex world. It is my continuing education. I consider a work successful when abstraction provokes and teases me, and hopefully the viewer, too; when it invites everyone into the unfolding drama on the canvas. Ultimately, I want it to be an enjoyable and enlightening journey for all.

My primary subject is the landscape with a deep interest in the language of abstraction. My process is usually built on intuition guided by bold colors and imagination. I hope that the viewers will find themselves intrigued by my paintings and immersed within the landscape with a sense of curiosity, wonder, and discovery.

Krysteen brings to her oil painting the same free spirited use of color, design and joie de vivre that is her signature of a lifetime. She says, "I see New Mexico and my subjects as bright, full of life and exciting, and that is how I paint them. I am happy to be out in the open spaces and mountains, observing and working to capture the landscape, changing light, clouds, and all manner of subjects.

Through a unique process of layering and floating glass, Fehrunissa’s art work exhibits a luminous aesthetic that reflects the boundless sky and sweeping landscapes of New Mexico.

It’s all about connections. Connections to my audience and connections to my work. I strive to create pieces which draw people into the work, whether it’s an abstract or one of my abstract-realism hybrids. My main focus is on texture and most of my work is layer upon layer of paint or layers of various materials which I marry together. I strive to create an intriguing play of colors, patterns and shapes among the textures. Watching or hearing peoples’ reactions to my work is my favorite part of the creative process.
Susan is a Corrales, New Mexico-based mixed media artist creating
layered abstractions with acrylic, handmade papers, japanese sumi ink and collage.
layered abstractions with acrylic, handmade papers, japanese sumi ink and collage.
I create layered compositions that evolve from my inner landscape that weaves in and out of my outer world. They are explorations inspired by my lifelong fascination with paper, writing, overlays, manuscripts, calligraphic marks and formal concerns as well as dreams and memories, darkness and light. Translucency allows some layers to be revealed and altered by subsequent layers. Lines evoke time lines, life lines, the rhythm of the breath, heartbeat and the connection of brain and hand through brushstrokes. I am connected to life through a body of emotional and physical experience.
