“I’m always looking for the unexpected, the surprise which makes you wonder” ' I work in series from events or places, which move me. Through scraping, layering, automatic
writing and reworking I go to a place beyond my control. In the process I deliberately chose clashing
colors, shifting planes, trying to break all the rules. I need the chaos first then order. My main objective
is to direct the viewer through constant discovery in my paintings. Energy, color and surprise are
three main elements in my work. I want my paintings to be bold and
inspiring. ' Dominique
The work is made using two types of wax:
Cold wax with oils or Hot wax or Encaustic on panels.

My quilt pieces start out as a preliminary drawing. I compose a narrative scene with a variety of characters and objects.
I am interested in the symbols that the subject represent. It’s an illustration that is rendered with thread, paint, buttons and beads. The finished pieces tell a story of real and imagined events. 
|
In addition to creating my own artwork, I also create for clients directly. When I receive a commission, I incorporate specific ideas from the client such as special or meaningful events as well as personal objects to create their own Heirloom.
|
The process of constantly drawing visual ideas is very beneficial. It allows me to keep my imagination flowing and acts as a resource when it’s time to articulate my fabric art.

Four Elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire
Born in Paris, France, I started my life-long love of drawing as a little girl under the auspices of my grandmother who was an impressionist painter. My paintings express the Elements (Air, Water, Earth, and Fire), and I use watercolor to convey their movement and fluidity. Recently, the climate has manifested their deep energy through flooding, fires, drought: We need to listen to them. I wish that my paintings may be their voice.

Within the grounding structure of a predetermined palette, my process is to follow the urgings of the unconscious. I create subtle transitions and shifting figure ground relationships to engage the imagination and the unconscious.
In the past year, after decades of devotion to pastel, I have been delighted to work with wet media on a slippery surface called Yupo. I find this slippery surface challenging and evocative, and references to the figure have begun to emerge.
I have painted en plein air for many years, and have engaged in careful and loving observation of nature all my life, so much of my studio work evokes the rhythms and light of the natural world.
I continue to paint outdoors and when I do, my work is in response to the energy and connections I experience in nature. I paint to reveal the energy of the landscape beneath the surface.

I began my artistic career as an illustrator and graphic designer for print media; pen and ink were my best friends. Over the years, I expanded my range of media and artistic styles. I now concentrate on painting with acrylics, oils with cold wax, and encaustics (hand-prepared oil tints with wax formulations) as I venture into the abstract. I have further used pieces of old paintings, collected ephemera and graphic sensibilities to work in paper collage. All works are abstracted, and my method of creation requires that I face and embrace change and the unexpected.

Slipping Into Evening 8x24 Pastel
The subject of landscape is complex and engages my interest throughout a range of aesthetic and spiritual concerns. In choosing to represent the natural world I seek to evoke a “sense of place” and the evanescent sensations of light and weather. There is active choice involved in observing, selecting, transforming, and often inventing elements of the view that I present. In depicting natural landscape scenes in partnership with abstract pictorial composition, I hope to convey an intense and poetic impression.

Throughout time all cultures have used iconographic images to document and interpret their life experiences. Forward from prehistoric cave dwellers, printed images are one of the oldest methods of communication securing emotion and experience of contemporary cultures. I am a member of the tribe of current printmakers. I was born in Minnesota, lived in a number of US states and traveled extensively to fuel the programs, ideas and images I use. Through my formal training (BA in art history and studio, MA in Art History and Museum Science and Ed D in Education) and in my professional museum life as a director and artist of prints and artist books, I use my art and aesthetic experiences to reach all audiences.

Linda Storm bio: Something magical awakened in me. I remember the smell of the oil paint, the feel of the brush in my hand, the delight of seeing the colors smeared onto the canvas. Every part of my 3-year-old body was immersed in the experience.
After I left the scene, I heard my father shout, “What happened to my painting?!”
I loved to read enchanting stories about powerful goddesses. Whenever I had blank paper, I drew the divas I imagined in those tales. To me, they were real.
Outside, on the sprawling land, I marveled at dew drops on a spider’s web, and discovered ancient fossils. I remember feeling the sky becoming part of me as I breathed, and I found forever in the black between the stars.
I was full of curiosity as I danced in the rain. I watched seeds sprout, sending their roots into Earth’s buried past, and I often dreamed I was flying in hot air currents, over volcanoes.
Incessantly through sleep and wakefulness, I asked, where did we come from, why are we here, how did we get here?
Today, with a variety of mixed mediums always available, I am never limited in expressing myself artistically. They include paint, iridescence, rainwater, ground minerals, and glow-in-the-dark pigments on various surfaces. With paintbrushes, palette knives, and airbrush I assemble layers of colors, textures, and meaning, in my paintings.
I find great value in collaborating with and inspiring others, and I love to explore and complete complex projects.
I begin with a sketch of my idea, then, as I paint, I trust the process completely, as I bring to life a visual story never seen before. I am so presently in the moment when I paint that the caw of a raven, a word, a song – anything – could affect the image I’m creating. Once while painting, I felt a presence behind me. I turned and saw a hummingbird fluttering its wings at a standstill outside my window, watching me. I worked its portrait into my art. We were one, that bird and I.
My art conveys my wonder, as we rotate on a living orb revolving around a star.

My artwork explores the rhythms, tensions and harmonies of the natural world, reflecting my sensory perception of patterns, energies, atmospheres and relationships. I invite the viewer to experience with me the interplay of color and movement, form and texture in my interpretations of nature. I work with the idea of above and below, seen and unseen, in my paintings. By multiple layering I create my rendition of this perception.
I was born in Tucson, Arizona, and have lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since the mid-1970s. The Southwestern landscape permeates my awareness of color and shape. The cycling of the New Mexico seasons, flights of birds, native flora, the Río Grande and other rivers and arroyos, continually visit my paintings. Travel always intensifies my appreciation of the many forms and feelings in the world of nature. Long visits to Brittany/France allowed its rocks, coastal sand and patterns of the sea to become part of my work. Various Asian aesthetics in crafts and painting continue to be a great influence.
My chosen medium is acrylic on canvas. I work with negative space by adding and subtracting shapes while building the surface to create an overall glow.

"Observations and questions about mysteries of the universe, life and consciousness are sources of visual ideas for my paintings and constructions. Making these works is an ongoing process of negotiation and experimentation between ideas and materials. I want my artworks to resonate with viewers and move them toward seeing this is that: everything as a consequence of endless shape-shifting, combining and recombining."
Narrie (pronounced NAR-ee) Toole was born near Manter, KS and spent most of her life living on family farms and ranches in that area. Her many years spent working closely with horses, cattle, and myriad other "critters" shaped her life in a way that is clearly visible in her artwork today. While she no longer worries about calving in Winter or feeding the horses on Christmas morning, her livelihood still depends on those animals now, like it did then, as they inspire her life as a full-time painter in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Karen Waters is a contemporary feltmaker whose focus is on sculptural felt, using traditional wet felting techniques. She often challenges herself by limiting her palette to two or three colors, which influences her decisions on how surface design, texture, and shape co-mingle. Karen's eco-conscious lifestyle spills over into her feltmaking, where she creates using rainwater and ethically sourced, eco-friendly fibers. She also offers online feltmaking workshops. Karen Waters is also the owner of the Santa Fe Wool & Supply Co.

My weavings are two strikingly different styles. I create New Mexico Rio Grande rugs and Japanese Saori style textiles and both are a direct result of living in two very special places. First, I learned the art of weaving Rio Grande rugs at the traditional Tierra Wools weaving center just down the road from our home, nestled in the beautiful Chama Valley. I use local, hand-dyed Churro wool and original style walking looms to create my rugs and wall hangings. My designs are often colorful and contemporary, but the Rio Grande style is carried through. The fabric I weave is Japanese Saori style, merged with traditional sakiori weaving from Japan. While living in Japan I was drawn to the eye-catching textiles. Their stunning use of color and subtle, yet complex designs are reflected in my woven fabric. I design and make simple, unique garments that are often based on the principles of origami. All a result of living in this mysterious land.

Art Meets Science Sandra Duran Wilson comes from a family of artists and scientists. She grew up in a world where all things were possible in her imagination. It was a world where she could look through the microscope in her fathers office and paint what she saw. Her early years were spent on the border of Mexico where the people, animals, landscape, music, culture and the stories of the curanderas shaped her reality. Years later she would return frequently to Mexico and South America to absorb the culture, traditions and art. Her spirituality combined with her scientific studies directed her work from realism to abstraction.

While Bette’s work has always derived inspiration from the human form, the transition from glass work to painting, printmaking, and papercuts provids a certain linear context exemplified by clean vibrant shapes and often including window forms.
