Collages from original monoprints. I've been making one-of-a-kind monoprints at Zea Mays Printmaking for more than 20 years. Some prints have seemed good enough to exhibit. Hundreds of others were not entirely successful but felt too precious to discard. I've kept them, thinking that some day I would use them to make collages. Three years ago I began doing that. I find interesting representational and abstract sections in the prints, cut them out, and assemble them to create new images.

Repeating bands of vibrant color weave through Paula Hite's recent abstract acrylic paintings on paper. The view from her large studio windows led Hite to explore Nature as a metaphor for connection and community. A vital energy emerges in the intertwining organic forms inspired by interconnecting trees and shadows. These animated ribbons of color jostle, nudge, appear, merge, and disappear--inviting the viewer to enter into the painting's flow in an act of confluence. Image: Dormancy Undone

My paintings reflect a yearning to connect to the soul and follow an imaginative path amongst color, flow, and texture. They become a reflection of our current state of mind as shapes and meanings change over time. I tend to approach my acrylic work with randomness and then I rework it until I feel we've come to an understanding; each a conversation or even a friendship over several years. My work contains remnants of play, exploration, reflection, and desire. -Lucinda Arnold

"Portraits in RED" honors the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People; in both Canada and the United States, Indigenous women and girls are eleven times more likely than white women to be victims of violence. Indigenous men are four times more likely. Murder is the third leading cause of death in Indigenous people on Turtle Island (North America), after cancer and heart disease. As a point of comparison, murder does not factor into the top twelve causes of death for non-Indigenous people.

The landscape has always captivated me. The combination of colors, shapes and textures can evoke a powerful emotional response. Unlike photography, painting allows me the freedom to create my own color palette. I tend not to work from photo references but rather create my own imaginary landscape. The addition of paper collage helps to add depth and shapes to the composition. I enjoy trying various techniques and tools for applying paint.

For me, making art is the practice and unfolding of empathy. A kind of prayer for humanity. A way to give form to something that I do not understand. Painting is an act of love and faith. Painting is a kind of prayer and protest that says, I am here and remain hopeful while hate seems to prevail. This series from the past two years uses form to sum up recurring feelings from my personal history as well as the desire to connect with something beyond what I can comprehend.

The small paintings began as a happy accident. I initially used wooden blocks to apply paintrandomly to larger works, but over time, some blocks revealed figurative and landscape elements. This sparked an experiment that grew into a series of miniature paintings. Inspired by Goya's ivory miniatures, which I first saw years ago at the Frick in NYC, I was struck by how he created monumental imagery on such a small scale. His spontaneous, experimental approach--embracing chance--continues to influence my work.

My work represents the world around me in a pretty realistic way. Although I am currently working on human portraiture, The Sustenance Series, represented here, is one in which I enjoy portraying individual foods as the main character in the portraits.

In art, "figuration" refers to the depiction of shapes found in reality--such as animals, plants, and human bodies– whereas "abstraction" simplifies subjects into form, color, and line. In modern western art, these two concepts are often understood as contrasting, but throughout history and in places such as Asia, these categories were not separate. For the works on view in this exhibition, realistic representation may not have always been the goal.

On the final night, we'll use grout to fill in the joints, as in other styles of mosaic. You'll create 2-3 small mosaics to hang in the window during this series. Let the light shine!
