Oil on Canvas, Bronze Sculpture, Sterling Silver Wearable Art



My life work of 50 years has always been about our spirituality and the feminine. I’ve always worked to provoke conscious thought of our struggles and dualities. To find balance so that we may honor the divine within. I’ve been graced with always trying to work with faith, hope even through dark times. To find the light, the connection of who we are in our strength as spiritual warriors to empower us forward. Each of the paintings, sculptures, wearables represent all of the elements encompassing our struggles and power.

HEGO
Painter. Musician.



"HEGO" is a pseudonym – derived from the first two letters of his first and last name (Heinz Goevert). A longtime drummer in the rock- and rhythm ‘n blues scene in Dortmund, Germany, he recently published a book about those years. HEGO’s works express primordial feelings controlled by reason. His materials vocabulary is just as eclectic, often incorporating sand, marble dust, twine, denim and copper into his paintings. He’s been publicly juried into the top 10 twelve times in the “Saatchi Showdown" Gallery, which receives over 40 million hits per day. HEGO's works were shown in exhibitions in New York, Cape Town, Stockholm, Luxembourg, Malta, Orewa (NZ), and in Cologne, Hagen and Witten, Germany. HEGO has works in private collections all over the world.

Hilda Green Demsky
Oil Paint



The inspiration for my paintings comes from places I’ve been and thoughts I have about nature. I feel energized when I see water. I grew up on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. The constantly changing movement of water, reflections and color inspire me.
I enjoy working in a variety of materials, but my preference has always been oil paint. I love its fluidity and depth of color. My water paintings are metaphors for life flowing unceasingly, running its course, urging us to take the time to enjoy the beauty surrounding us.

Howard Goodman
Photography


For hundreds, if not thousands of years it has been said that all art is a reflection of a society or culture. Because there is more than enough bad news and misery in our world, the great challenge of the artist is to not simply join in and say "look how horrible this is", but to see and express beauty that uplifts the spirit in the face of adversity. It is the artist's job to portray what is wondrous and inspiring about the human experience. The common thread in my photography is how an everyday object can reveal our humanity.

Ilse Schreiber-Noll
Mixed Media: Woodcuts, Artist's Books, Paintings and Installations



In recent years the artist returned to painting, installations, and making unique Artist’s Books. She creates densely painted surfaces with the addition of collage elements: wire, wood, photos, and books that give a strong sense of physical presence. Much of her work depicts the terrors of war and the threat of ecological disaster. While her work is less concerned with beauty than with ideas, it transmits an undeniable sense of poetry and lyricism.

Irene Osborn
Clay




My sculptures deal with insights into the human condition. My pieces reflect attitudes, states of mind, and flashes of insight. They are influenced by my growing up in post war Germany and coming of age during the second wave of feminism during the 60‘s and 70‘s. While my sculptures reflect this background, they do not need the feminist lens to be understood. They are figurative without being overly realistic. My goal is to capture universal emotions, thoughts, and feelings in my clay.

Jackie Merritt
Color Pastel on Paper, Oil on Canvas



As an Artist and Musician/Songwriter, I am by nature a storyteller. It doesn’t matter if my story is told on canvas or in song. Whether it’s intentional or not, ideas overlap and influence each other during the process of creating.
I’m a painter. I prefer working with color pastel on paper and or oil on canvas. I love the intimacy of the chalk in my hands, the quickness of application when applying oil, the vividness of color and the enjoyment of working and reworking the painted surfaces…I embrace the journey.

Jacqueline Sferra Rada
Acrylic Glaze/Gessoed Paper, Pastel/Paper, Monoprint Collage


.jpg)
While grounded in reality, my work draws on the aesthetic traditions of minimalism, realism and remembrance art. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to evoke realms of the imagination. I seek to establish a link between reality and imagination based on my interior response to a subject. A place where fiction and reality balance. Time and memory play a key role. In my exploration of landscape I strive to amplify the astonishment of the viewer by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil, poetic images which convey traces of recognition and alienation.

Janet Rutkowski
Steel, Stainless Steel, Mixed Media, Drawings



Great art, whether it be visual, sculptural, functional or audio, has a presence, a spirit which it truly felt. I seek to incorporate that presence, that spirit into every piece I create. Art is an unfounded religion whose inspiration comes from a divine source. the power is within each of us, and we should use it in everything we do, in all walks of life. It is the power of transformation. Transformation of the mundane into the divine.
I am a Brooklyn-based artist working in metal whose work includes abstract sculpture, architectural ironwork, and functional art for over 30 years.
