About the Item
USHGULI WITH SHAKRA MOUNTAIN by artist Bill Claps is a white, gold, and brown contemporary landscape mixed media on canvas that measures 22 x 32
Visual artist and writer Bill Claps meditates every morning. “I find that the most important thing to me is to listen and be open to what the world presents to me. It’s amazing what happens to me when my mind is clear,” says Claps. He explains that he doesn’t seek inspiration, but rather finds that the ideas seem to present themselves and if he is open he can “grab onto them quickly before they go away.”
My work has traditionally been characterized by immediacy and gesture, executed combining elements of both painting and drawing, and I typically have tapped into the instinctual and subconscious to create spontaneous works of art. Recently I have been working more conceptually and narratively, utilizing photos and prints of my drawings in my works, and relying on text and symbolic representation to present my ideas.
My most recent works utilize Morse code to communicate various ideas and thoughts. In an age where all of our art and communication can be reduced to and stored in a binary language, the fact that Morse code was one of the earliest forms of digital code and the first universal language of the digital age resonates strongly with me. There’s beauty in the simplicity of the simple dots and dashes of this outdated language, but layers of meaning and relevance can be conveyed using its symbolic lexicon.
The works in the “It’s All Derivative” series comment on the practice of appropriation in the art world, the use of borrowed elements and visual language from the past that are incorporated into an artist’s vision. These works also raise questions about the role of digital technology in the production of works of art and the relevance of the artist’s hand in the process. Bill Claps

Lisa Weiss’ work is about mark making, patterning, spontaneous movement, momentary awareness and paring down to essentials. She is continually looking for ways to detach from the past and future with a focus on the here and now. Weiss’ paintings are process driven by movement, repetition, materials and place. Her works are for beauty and contemplation.
A professional artist from Tennessee, Lisa Weiss received her BFA
in painting and sculpture from Middle Tennessee State University
in 1990. She received a teaching assistantship to Louisiana State
University in Painting and Drawing and completed her MFA in 1996.
Lisa has exhibited her work nationally in solo and group shows for the past
fifteen years. She is included in numerous public and private collections
throughout America, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Holland.
She has the honor of being in the Hunter Museum permanent collection.
In the last seven years, Lisa has attended four artist residencies:
Dorland Colony in California, Millay Colony in New York,
Wurlitzer Foundation in New Mexico and the Nantucket School of Art
on Nantucket Island.
She has taught design, painting and drawing at the University of
Southern Mississippi, Watkins College of Art and Film, Eastern New Mexico
University and Winthrop University.
Lisa has recently earned initial certification for teaching yoga from
Yandara Yoga Institute in Todos Santos, Mexico. She has traveled
the United States, Mexico and Europe. Lisa currently creates artwork
in her studio in Franklin, Tennessee.
