Kathy Bogan

My approach to painting is based in change. I start with a place, an experience, a color, an emotion. Sometimes the inspiration comes from a photograph, sometimes what I see in front of me, sometimes just what’s in my head right then, something internal. I first use gesture to capture some essence of that starting point. Then color. Then perhaps some drawing, more color, more layers. Recently I’ve been adding collage, using handmade papers I’ve inherited as well as those I’ve made myself. I keep in mind my starting point, but sometimes the process leads me to another place entirely.… Read More »Kathy Bogan

Jane Cunningham

I paint with oil and cold wax. I love the tactile nature of the wax and the vibrant colors of oil paint; mixing the two creates a thick, rich, medium that reminds me of finger painting as a child.

Cindi Yaklich

I am an explorer and storyteller, uncovering the richness and inherent beauty within the quiet, everyday objects that often escape notice. In my art, each object becomes a gateway to exploring the intricate fabric of our reality, where light and texture weave together as the warp and weft of our world. These seemingly ordinary pieces, nestled in the corners of our lives, carry silent histories that my canvas transforms into open books. Working with traditional oil paint on extra-fine linen canvas from Belgium, I pay homage to the rich tradition of realist art. Through this process, I aim to illuminate… Read More »Cindi Yaklich
