My paintings spring from a place where I feel color and texture. My work reflects my love of Rothko and Turner, taking bold colors, alive with fire from within, coupled with flowers, soil, and sky, in an imagined landscape with a brutal atmosphere or luminous lights, becoming a place that is at once imagined and possible.
Sheila Danko
I create imaginary landscapes born from faded memories of time, place and emotional energy. Through an abstracted impressionistic style, I strive to create a sense of the familiar in each piece, allowing the viewers’ memories to merge with my own. My hope is that multiple narratives emerge as each person finds unique personal meaning through the many layers of color, line, texture and mark making.
Andrea Murray
My paintings grow out of close looking—returning again and again to ordinary moments to investigate the life within them, and to make something interior visible. I’m drawn to figures at rest, tables set with familiar objects, and rooms or gardens where little appears to be happening.

On break one day, in the lunch room, I came across a TIME Magazine that had a review of a new series of paintings by artist Willem de Kooning; an artist I had never heard of before, but whose works immediately attracted and intrigued me. These works, that were eventually to be known as de Kooning’s “later works”, were composed of simple lines of mostly primary colors that could take unexpected twists and turns. What was it, I found myself wondering, that could make such seemingly simple lines and colors so compelling to look at?

I enjoy the process of working in clay, molding its pliable heavy mass into a human or an animal form, or a combination of the two; keeping it just moist enough for carving it when it is leather hard.
