Heart

Dawn Murray
I am a mother, teacher, student,and painter. I love working on canvas, but have been inspired to create some art for people to wear. Working on wooden bangles and earrings brings together my long-time loves of painting, collage, and decoupage. My interest in subway graffiti art and street art carries over into the vibrant colors I choose for my bangles and earrings. I also am inspired by various artists from the Pop Art, Impressionist Art and Abstract Art movements. You will find touches of these influences in my creations.

Digital Print
Dustin Dimilio
Dustin DeMilio is an innovative multimedia artist whose work transcends the bounds of traditional mediums, utilizing technology to explore new forms of expression. Starting at a very young age, he began experimenting with music, photography, painting and computers. Constantly evolving, he writes custom software to create experimental live video that is used for large scale installations and live performances. These videos are projection mapped larger than life onto buildings or used for live music visuals and dance performances. His unique work continues to mesmerize audiences and change perceptions of reality.
“Post-modern, acutely intelligent avant-garde. Dustin’s work is Bright, incisive, impossibly contemporary and filled with poetry. His photography, digitally painted or straight up is as powerful as, v love or lust at first sight. His images have the elusive power to be utterly visceral and raw, while remaining starkly new.” - M.A.

Jeff Sokokowski
This abstract expressionist series is the culminationof several months of execution and approximately 40 years contemplating the simple concept: “meaning is in the mind of the viewer”. These paintings are created for the viewer “You”.
Crafted with layers of colors, textures, splashes, spatters and brushstrokes these works will evolve as you do and revealing new meanings and interpretations
with each and every viewing.
Presented as banners to further enhance the idea that both individual artistic expression and personal interpretation as being brave and powerful conduit for understanding life.

Surge
Oil Pastel, Acrylic on Paper
John Waski
My artistic vision taps into the raw emotion of the human experience, defining the spiritual, naturally occurring and man-made forces that surround us. Drawing upon the combinations of these elements creates solid narrative to express my unique interpretation of life today. I derive inspiration from various forms of mythology, observing people and nature, which is used as a catalyst in developing a body of work.
The art attempts to capture a state of being by fusing abstract and representational elements together for a new visual language. Overlaying multiple forms and color I want to create a visual stratigraphic exploration of the subject matter, by building surfaces and layers to expose a sense of time and multi dimensional narratives. Having this dialogue offers a unique commentary exposing the venerability of our relationships with each other and the environment, attempting to achieve a balance of ambiguity and tension within the space that captures a fleeting moment in time.
These components of the work manifest through the exploration of evolution and change. With the utilization of selective icons, textures and the human form, I share my perceptive awareness through my art.

The Arches

Julie Ryan
My goal as an artist is to highlight and challenge the visual culture that we all experience on a daily basis. When planning a composition, I look for common scenes, signs, and imagery that people may often encounter without much consideration. My goal is to distort these scenes and signs in a way that creates a tension between an artificial and a natural reality. Recently, I have begun exploring this concept of distortion by literally cutting apart and re-assembling my supports through weaving and collage. This juxtaposition of images and literal disassembling of supports encourages the viewer to perceive their environment with a critical eye, and to consider and even question the visual images that have begun to define our society.
