Gayla Lemke   Ripple Effect

Just as climate change is generating a ripple effect on various aspects of our lives, so too can actions taken by individuals and organizations in an effort to slow down the process. This body of work springs from a desire to express how climate change is affecting our environment, especially in the context of water.

Alane Holsteen   Hiraeth

Hiraeth is a homesickness, tinged with grief and sadness over the lost or departed.

In this new body of artwork I explore our earthen home, with a tinge of sadness as I watch climate change begin to devour the places we love so much. From deserts to oceans to bogs. We need to do more than extol the virtues of nature. We must collectively act now.

I create my artwork from nature—beeswax, Damar tree resin, and pigments. It is fully biodegradable and non toxic. The artwork is alive and continues to transform over time, like life.

Katherine Johnson  Inside / Outside
Flourishing

My intuitive painting arises from sources both inner and outer. Unconscious influences from past and present speak through spontaneous mark-making with suggestive forms. From the outside world come the
climate crisis and many world events, from joyful to heart wrenching, that influence my work through abstract images expressing deep reactive feeling. And then the place where it all comes together in a flow of life that shapes what there is to be and do and paint.

Nolan Tredway  Glitches and Ghosts
Glitches and Ghosts

Glitches and Ghosts explores the cohabitation of AI and the idea that humans are more than a biological machine. Through AI generated art and projection mapping, the installation is a world where the pieces work together to form an ecosystem of the incorporeal and the artificial.

Kay D. Galvan   Mind’s Play

Our minds are a jumbled playground of ideas, labels, preferences and patterns. None of the contents are solid or lasting — we only think they are, so we use them as a way to organize our world.

As I play within my own mind, trying out new ideas and seeing how rigid or pliable mind might be on any given day, images pop up. When I get curious enough about what those might be, I paint them. They inevitably have something to say about what has built the world I experience.

Heather Hauptman   Penumbra
The Neighbor Lady

Much of this work was created during the pandemic when I was living in Buenos Aires ARG with my partner of many years. We did not survive the pandemic, as many other couples did not. Sequestered things were exposed to the light, and bleached into nothingness. These pieces reflect the betrayal of my partner, and the despair I felt at having discovered it. But there is also hope in these pieces. Hope that a path will reveal itself in due time, and I have only to listen to the gentle whispers of unseen things that are desperate to guide me along my way.
