“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.

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.

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.

My goddess paintings are inspired by ancient stories. I amfascinated that these female deities
were once revered as any one god is today, and some still are. It is my continuous
life long project to resurrect them with paint.

“The Sand Patterns series began after many visits to Brittany, France. While walking the beaches there I became fascinated with the movements and shadows of the patterns in the sand. I created paintings called The Bretagne Series with these images in mind. Out of that series, the Sand Pattern paintings grew into a new way of expressing my love for the American Southwest, where I have lived all my life. I wanted to explore on canvas the movement and changing shapes encountered in those desert landscapes, and especially in the arroyos, the rivers, and the riparian vegetation growing along the banks.”

"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.

Scratchboard is a unique material to work on. A board of masonite is coated with a white kaolin clay, then coated with a thin layer of black ink. Removing the black ink reveals the white underneath. Tools used to remove the ink include art knives, fiberglass brushes, tattoo needles, rotary tool bits, steel wool, and sanding pads. Each tool creates different effects. The lighter the touch, the less ink is removed. Heavier scratching, more layers of scratching, and closer lines all remove more ink and therefore show more white.

Wool felt is the oldest known textile and was probably created in its earliest days using wool and water, then rubbing and rolling, and finally thrown onto a hard surface to help it shrink and tighten.
"My handmade felt is created much the same way, although I use a few modern tools to speed up the felting process.
Sheeps wool, rainwater, and olive oil soap are my core ingredients, while often adding other fibers for design or strength. All of my work is made using ethically sourced wool, and
eco-friendly dyes." karenwatersart.com

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.

Artist Statement: “From time to time I experience strange, intense, short-lived visions of beauty, an unfamiliar, elusive, barely perceptible beauty that surfaces in certain words or landscapes, certain colorations of the world, certain moments…”Guy Maupassant
These words express my goal as a painter. My paintings attempt to capture an intense moment that rings absolutely true. A scene, a certain light, colors arranged that pierce through ones center to extract an emotion. A search for beauty in the familiar, unseen until revealed by the work. The mundane elevated to art.

As a child I was captivated by old things. I realize now much of that had to do with their handmade quality.
My clay work is influenced by the material itself, its history and the intimacy of its interaction with the hand and touch.
This is why my surfaces reveal the process; and the process becomes the surface.
