"The beauty of the earth and the mystery of the universe converge," says Brit of this abstracted modernist landscape. "The three moons beg the question as to where this beautiful valley is to be found. I don't claim to know the answer, but I believe in its existence." The highly textured surface and low relief effects are created by a combination of embossed papers and layering of acrylic paint.

Part of Ryan's long-running series of portraits done in charcoal and oil paint on gold washed paper. Ryan enjoys pairing the fluidity and transparency of oil paint with the substance of charcoal. "Much like the ballet of the same name, "Giselle" combines dramatic patterns with stoic expression," says Ryan. The figure wears an abstract dress of dripping circles, her hair in modernist angles. She looks intensely at the viewer, her slender frame elongated by her strong pose.

Patricia builds her compositions intuitively with palette knives, blending colors and developing texture directly on the surface of her panels. In this piece, lines connected by dots reference our interconnected relationships and voices speaking with each other.

I call this technique 'canvas mosaic' which I developed over the last nine years. The square shapes are cut and painted pieces of canvas fabric that I adhered to the stretched canvas. Initially inspired by digital pixels, but harkens back to traditional mosaic making. Cranes are one of symbolic creatures in Asia. Mysterious and always a little lonely in a beautiful way. I painted a dreamy crane with traditional Japanese Kimono patterns...
