"As an African-American artist in today’s world, I embody the vast differences found in our collective backgrounds. I view them as cultural assets. We are always self discovering and these self discoveries take us in surprising directions. We must gain strength from what we learn from each other as well as listen to that persistent, ever present, intuitive self. The connection of one’s own rich heritage and person growth will travel into the inevitable and critical connection between African Americans and Africa. These connections are rich and very important. They Exist! My work, I hope, will serve as a creative connection between the African diaspora and western culture. It is this connection that cause my creative forces to react." Janice Frame...

Mary Marley's "From Orthodoxy" is an abstract encaustic and oil painting that includes text printed on organza silk. It is painted with bright and vivid colors and includes patterns, gestural abstraction and dripped and spattered paint as an element of design. It is painted on a wooden panel with the sides painted black and the back is wired for hanging. Mary Marley is a contemporary painter exploring themes of chaos, order, the force of becoming and transformation. Currently working with encaustic paint, her approach is highly experimental, pushing the boundaries with this ancient medium. She is attracted to encaustic for its luminous properties and the endless variations that can be achieved with this multifaceted medium. The use of encaustic allows for layering colors, achieving a glowing surface of depth. Using color and texture inspired from the organic world, Mary's work incorporates patterns and structures all roiling together to an image of impermanence. Mary teaches visual art and her works have been featured throughout the United States and Canada. She is represented by Fountain Street...
