A Cellists Dream World Mixed Media, Embroidery, Beadwork on Fabric W:12 H:28 D:5 in 2017 Betty Cox

A Cellists Dream World, is a piece created in the likeness of myself using many mediums. All brought together with beading. It dimensional creating myself playing the cello with numerous cellists and it is in the shape of a cello. Using leathers to create the sides or ribbing of the cello makes this piece very real. Fantasy and the whimsical effect create a somewhat macabre effect.

Psyche's Secret Glass Art, Glass Fusing Art W:20 H:15 in 2022 Tatiana Turova

Modern psychology uses Psyche's story to address existential loneliness. Behind her extraordinary appearance, few could see the vulnerability and purity of her soul. Psyche learned to look within and recognize herself. Overcoming obstacles, her inner beauty reveals itself. The myth connects physical and spiritual beauty, showing how a loving soul, like a butterfly, undergoes metamorphosis. Psyche becomes the goddess of the soul, embodying the sublime, beautiful and weightless. Yet, in a world of material values and struggles for illusory power, do we truly think about the soul? Or do we remember it only in difficult moments, when it feels as thin as lace and as fragile as glass?

Blue Nude Two Painting, Oil Color on Canvas W:30 H:40 in 2016 Patricia Rodgers

I have done several paintings from an ink wash drawing I completed in art school. I look at my sketches and drawings as a starting point for a painting. I was intrigued by the way she sat, and the turn of her head, and the light on her figure. The environment grew around this. I imagined her as disjointed from her environment. She is exposed to voyeurs.

Beginnings Painting, Watercolor on Arches Paper W:60 H:40 in 2019 Shirley Hathaway

Matted painting. It was done on Arches 140 lb. wet paper stapled to a 4' x 8' board to stretch. My life was in a disaster after a serious car accident and then a divorce. I couldn't work and was facing several back and shoulder surgeries, couldn't work and could hardly move my arms to paint. I happened to pick a snapdragon from my garden and really took a good look at it as I snapped it open and shut and just felt like it was my life snapping away. But it was time for a new beginning and used the bans of division containing seeds ready to open to the world dividing it between the earth and sky above as it breaks through the earth for a fresh start.

Shatterproof Painting, Oil Color on Canvas W:20 H:24 in 2025 Elizabeth Richardson

I wanted to do something inspired by stained glass because of an art history class I was taking at the time. I decided on the tiger because tigers are my favorite animal. I wanted this piece to showcase how I have grown as an artist and as an individual. The different shards of the tiger represent the different pieces of individuals. On their own, they don’t seem that important. Each shard builds onto the next, and when put together, they create a beautiful picture. Individual shards of glass may seem easier to shatter. Together they remain stronger.

The torus is a primordial energy structure — a living field that flows, renews, and sustains itself. It consists of a central axis, flanked by two vortices, through which energy enters and exits. This work is a torus in motion — a visual mantra for reconnection with the living heart of creation.

New York, NY Opus 9 Painting, Oil Color on Canvas W:76 H:77 in 2026 Layla Fanucci

In "New York Opus 9", Layla Fanucci continues her exploration of the urban metropolis through a dense, architectonic cityscape. Drawn to cities for their architecture, history, and intensity, she builds layered fields of color before defining structures with thin black lines. Here, soaring buildings rise above a lively park, where trees, pathways, and small figures create a sense of movement within the city. Warm earthy tones give the scene atmosphere and emotional resonance, while the intricate architectural details emphasize both scale and rhythm. The painting reflects Fanucci’s distinctive visual language, balancing structure, movement, and feeling in what has become her enduring love letter to the energy and character of the city.

The Weight of a Crown, Inner Sovereignty Painting, Acrylic, Acrylic Pouring on Canvas W:40 H:60 cm 2023 Kateryna Lastovetska

Some forms do not symbolize power—they reveal the character behind it. Through luminous gold, deep blue, and layered textures, this painting explores confidence shaped by experience, resilience, and self-awareness. Its central form suggests structure and movement, while balanced contrasts and flowing lines create a grounded, reflective presence. The Weight of a Crown, Inner Sovereignty invites viewers to consider strength that does not seek attention. It speaks to dignity, thoughtful leadership, and the confidence to remain true to oneself, offering a timeless and quietly powerful presence.

Hope rarely announces itself. Sometimes it is found in a single quiet moment—in the space between reflection and possibility. Framed by the Empire State Building, the solitary figure stands between the private world within and the endless city beyond. The architecture endures, the light returns, and the horizon remains open, suggesting that even when we pause, life continues to offer another beginning.

Original not available for sale. Poster prints full color 16x20 and 11x14 available upon request.Inspired by surrealism, mythology, spirituality, and dream architecture, Nick Stevens explores a quieter psychological darkness—the sense that reality may not be what it seems. Floating worlds suggest countless realities, memories, and possibilities, while the woman becomes their symbolic guardian. Impossible staircases, shifting walls, and misplaced water echo the logic of dreams. At its heart, the work asks whether, if we could hold a world in our hands, we would protect it.

Continuum Painting, Acrylic on Paper W:16 H:24 in 2025 Michele McWilliams

“Continuum” is a reminder that our stories, like the desert, are never still. Inspired by the desert landscapes and haboob dust storms in New Mexico the composition speaks to the artist’s ongoing exploration of truth and imagination - A visual meditation on our past as we move toward a better future. McWilliams’ work invites viewers to trace their own orbits of becoming: where our past shapes our future, and our knowledge becomes wisdom.

Ganga Arati Painting, Oil Color on Canvas W:24 H:36 in 2025 Malini Rao

Ganga Arati captures the charged nightly ritual of the Varanasi ghats — devotion, fire, surrender. The priests become conduits, connected to the physical and metaphysical through intersecting lines forming a sacred geometry. The cubist overlay makes the sound and fervor felt rather than seen.

Bioluminescence Painting, Acrylic, Alcohol Ink, Marker W:16 H:20 in 2026 Nicole Siegwarth

Part of the series Gathering. Deep teal and blue-green cells cluster and overlap against a cooler field, each one traced in gold, as if lit faintly from within. The gathering here glows rather than grows, light pooling in small chambers the way it might deep in still water.

Butch Painting, Acrylic on Canvas W:16 H:20 in 2024 L Wight

This piece explores the rage and violence simmering below the surface of oppressed bodies. The figure is genderless— a butcher whose perfect focus glares at the viewer, urging us to confront our part in systems of violence, and how we might be victims of it, too.
