This piece is composed of many layers of acrylic paint that have been smeared, scraped, scratched, and sanded to reveal a variety of colors and images.

Artist Patrick Duffy demonstrates linear forms, initiating warped dimensions. "The Cosmos is central to my work, creating a dialogue between the imagination and the fundamentals of all things space," shares Patrick. He explores newly learned concepts and unique ways to visualize the cosmos through design. Within his creative process, shapes become symbols of time, guiding the eye and mind to think of dark solar windswept patterns that are balanced and engaging.

About the Artist
Artist Patrick Duffy creates multi-scaled abstract compositions that seek to realize patterns through process, form, and color. Growing up in the coastal town of Blue Hill, Maine, he started creating artwork very early. He explores time, space, theoretical, and science fiction themes, describing his works as translated visions of paradoxes. Patrick received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2006, being part of many shows in New York, New England, and Houston, TX. Publications include The New York Times, “Things to See in the Hudson Valley” for the exhibition “Intricate Realities” at the Catskill Arts Society in 2016, as well as “Creating in Color” for Trouvé Magazine Volume 3 in 2015. Since 2019, Patrick has resided in Austin, Texas. He has worked with artists Takashi Murakami (Kai Kai...

"Acrobats and circus performers have always fascinated me with their lively gestures and colorful outfits," says artist Patrick O'Boyle. With an exciting application of bright and cheery colors, Patrick envokes the showmanship and energy of a live juggling act.

About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.

Artist Drew Noel Marin paints an ethereal abstract of land meeting ocean. A rustic representation of a tranquil seaside. Drew applies loose brush strokes of powdery shades of blue. The composition evokes an atmospheric feeling of harmony and composure.

About the Artist
Boundlessly inspired by the beauty of nature, artist Drew Noel Marin paints imaginative sceneries in harmonious color. She carefully synthesizes impressionism and abstraction in her distinctive style. “My intention is to emote wonder and peace through free-flowing brushstrokes and soft movements of color,” says Drew. Growing up in an artistic atmosphere, she was allowed to discover many avenues to explore and foster her creativity. Her work displays many different emotions experienced throughout her life, illuminating its uniqueness. Once Drew starts a painting, she gains a burning desire to accomplish it. The urge keeps her going as thought and vision simply come to her while working. Her boutique studio lies in her garage, where natural light, fresh air, and music freely flows. When resting her creativity, she enjoys outdoor walks and being in the moment with her family.

"Part of the meditation process is to allow your mind to clear, follow a journey, and allow thoughts to pass through," says artist Candice Eisenfeld. "The vertical, thin section in the middle is an abstracted version of the landscape, it is varnished while the other parts have no gloss. This process was done to illustrate how our perceptions of the world and experiences can change, and how we can recognize these lenses to achieve clarity. The left side depicts peaceful, floating, abstracted thoughts."

About the Artist
As an American exploring issues of identity, artist Candice Eisenfeld paints through the lens of the first American art movement, the Hudson River School. Rather than depicting a specific locale, Candice’s artwork evokes a sense of place. These "inner landscapes" are invented, and often reference photographs taken during travels in southern Appalachia and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Whether real or imagined, her paintings are influenced by the Dutch Masters, Tonalists, and Chinese painting. Produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscapes are often joined with segments of aqueous color fields which act as commentary for the landscapes, like the chorus in a Greek play. The crisp, hard edges separating the landscapes from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid and painterly surface. With two or three sections of the panel competing for attention, the painting creates multiple focal points. Candice's art has been displayed in embassies in Namibia and Belarus, held in the collections of Norwest Bank and Northwest...

Active lines and bold colors bring a figure into its pose in this abstract portrait by artist Gail Ragains. One leg rests on top of the other as the body leans inquisitively to the side. Predominantly painted in verdant hues, warmer tones in red, orange, and ochre balance the composition. Gestural marks create a tactile quality with varying textures. "This painting is strong on color and shapes and the relationships between them."
