"Reigning and Roosting" Folk Art inspired linoleum block bird print, deep blue
By Lisa Houck
Located in Wellesley, MA
Lisa Houck is a highly established artist from Boston, recently re-located to Maine, with a very large following devoted to her exceptional paintings, watercolors, mosaics and prints reminiscent of Folk Art, Matisse and Aborigine art. Houck is widely admired and recognized for a gorgeous sense of color and a sensibility both playful and serious that is uniquely her own.
This is one of her 3 most recent large format bird prints in various shades of blue and aqua in a series which now consists of a total of 10 related prints. They are outstanding installed individually or as groups. Houck's highly sophisticated and complex sense of pattern and design is delightfully whimsical, as well as extraordinarily compelling for its knowledge of so many artistic forms which the artist is miraculously able to reference and incorporate, while maintaining a style so distinctively recognizable as her own.

Lisa Houck has an outstanding reputation for not only her work as a printmaker but for achievements in painting, watercolor, mosaic and textiles as well.

Her works have been featured in many museum and gallery exhibitions and are included in a multitude of public and private collections.
Artist's Statement:
"I work in watercolor, oil on wood, ceramics, mosaics and etching. Each medium allows me to invent new ways to express my view of nature through color and pattern. My artwork has been exhibited widely, and is in numerous public and private collections, including The Boston Athenaeum, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, Fidelity Investments, four libraries in Broward County Florida, Hale and Dorr, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston."

'Chittering & Chattering VI' Folk bright blue/white linoleum bird block print
By Lisa Houck
Located in Wellesley, MA
This is one of a series of 6 related bird prints, identical in size and each the same shade of bright blue and white, which are as commanding individually as they are in groupings. Lisa Houck is a very established New England area artist as recognized for her public installations, paintings, watercolors, textiles and mosaics as her work with linocuts and woodblock prints. At times reminiscent of Folk and Aborigine art, inspired as well by James Audubon and Hokusai, Houck is widely known for a gorgeous and elegant sensibility which is both playful and quite serious that is uniquely her own.

"Untitled" Medium Sized Abstraction on Paper, Cream, Red, Black, Monoprint
By Margo Margolis
Located in Wellesley, MA
"Untitled" Medium Sized Abstraction on Paper in Cream, Gray, Black and Red. Monoprint, 30 x 22 Inches, Framed in White Wood.
This monoprint has a very sophisticated sensibility in that it is purely abstract and consists of a suggestion of a gray grid on a cream ground with a powerful black and red free-wheeling biomorphic linear shape. The mark making was inspired by the artist's stay in Rome - where her then 10 year old son became addicted to Italian comic books -which adds another whimsical Pop dimension. Associations can also be made with Alexander Calder's paintings, sculptures and works on paper, and Asian art.
Also available by the artist are canvases (72 x 60 inches, 40 x 32 inches, 14 x 11 inches) and a series of related paintings on paper measuring 30 x 22 inches.
Margo Margolis lives and works in New York. She recently retired as Chairman of the Tyler School of Art's (Philadelphia) Department of Painting.
Margolis’ continuing commitment to abstraction is as fresh and invigorating as it was in the early 1970s when she began exhibiting with the Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York where she had several shows. In addition her work has been exhibited throughout the country at numerous galleries and institutions including The Pennsylvania Academy of Art, The Renaissance Society, The Munson-Williams Proctor Institute and Halls Walls, among others.
In reviewing the artist’s 1993 exhibition in the Beth Urdang gallery for the 'Boston Globe,'
Nancy Stapen stated:
“…eccentric, quasi-geometric forms and initial
impression of simplicity belie this artist’s highly
sophisticated grasp of paintings. These are multi-
layered works concerned with the discipline’s core
issues – transluscency and opacity, flatness and
illusioinism, line and form, figure and ground, pattern
and surface, structure and weightless pictorial space…
these paintings may be analyzed up to a point. In
the end, their process remains mysterious. Their
appeal lies in their engagement with an inventive
form language intrinsic to painting, as well as in their
deft synthesis of quietude and quirkiness.”
June 3, 1993
Current Chief Art Critic for the 'Boston Globe, ' Cate, McQuaid, wrote of Margolis’
2017 exhibition in the gallery:
“Her marks grab at you as insistently as a
toddler demanding attention. They’re like a
language made purely of punctuation,
rhythmic and emphatic, let out of the duty
of modifying sentences, freed at last to express
itself alone.”
January 6, 2017
Margo Margolis’ works are included in numerous public collections including the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Chase Manhattan Bank, Amerata-Hess
Corporation, General Mills, Best Products, IBM, Estee Lauder, Miami-Dade College, Chemical Bank, and Wellington Management. She is the recipient of many awards including 2 grants from The National Endowment for the Arts, a New York State Council on the Arts Grant, and Yaddo and MacDowell Residency Grants. Margolis received a BS degree from Skidmore College and an MFA from Indiana University. She lives and works in New York.
Statement by Margo Margolis:
"While text and image combine to tell the story, it is the drawing around the narrative, the space between text and image that I find compelling. In my work, it is the space between, on the periphery, in the margins that has become the foreground. It is the charged environment that has become the subject.
Equally significant and transformative have been innovations in process that have evolved. Discrete marks are de-contextualized, reassembled and photocopied. They are further manipulated by exaggerations in scale, repetition and excessive layering. I have introduced 'printerly' processes (carbon tracking and stencils) that combine with marks that are hand-drawn, hand-painted. These are layered over and under transparent veils of paint. The incorporation of printing methods has been critical both formally and conceptually. These processes underline the fact that this is a system based on a 'ready-made' language. They create an identity distinctly different from action painting, gestural painting or any notion that the artists' stroke is assumed to reveal his/her psyche. These are distanced marks and frozen gestures. In combination with what is handmade, they reveal an alternate translation. Importantly, these processes, in allowing direct reproduction point to the semantic mutability of the language. However, most important is the process of building, excessive layering, and the continual dissolution and re-materialization of form. The paintings have a physicality and material presence that affirms the medium and is in contrast to their graphic impact."
