Freedom to and Freedom from Sculpture, Mixed Media on Paper Mache W:8.50 H:18 in 2025 Agnieszka Palka

Freedom to and Freedom from is an entirely hand-built sculpture. The artist repurposes newspaper and cardboard to construct the foundation and masks it with delicate eggshells that are almost composted. The variable textures and sizes of eggshell pieces, ranging from broken to whole, illustrate a significant aspect of a woman's identity throughout history. By manipulating a texture resembling a marble surface, the artist constructs a minimalist white cube as a metaphor for patriarchal structure. Palka drew her inspiration from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling to eliminate the federal right to abortion.

Evidence Painting, Acrylic on Canvas W:120 H:120 cm 2021 Carlo de Walli

„Evidence“ is a composition of colors, lines, hatching and images. They are fragments of ideas that formed during the process. in this work, I tried to combine a primal idea with abstraction of colors without statement and figurality with statement. My little pictorial elements should not be related to each other and should express any messages in a restrained manner. Beauty should be formed by the overall impression. I leave it to the viewer to experience this work carefree.

Red Rockin Painting, Watercolor, Graphite Drawing on Arches Paper W:12 H:9 in 2025 Keith Allen Jones

Red Rocks was the first watercolor I ever painted, and it set the direction for everything that followed. Skully Jones and the band take the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, framed by the iconic sandstone and a crowd that feels equal parts ritual and release. This piece isn’t about mastery or polish. It’s about instinct. Energy. The moment you stop waiting to be ready and start anyway. The skeletons aren’t performing for the crowd, they’re playing through it. Titles, credentials, and expectations fall away. What remains is movement, sound, and the willingness to step forward without knowing what comes next. Red Rocks becomes less a venue and more a proving ground, a place where fear gets drowned out by volume and momentum takes over. Looking back, this piece marks the true beginning of Life After Life. The moment the work stopped being theoretical and became real. When everything extraneous fell away, and only the act itself remained.

Where the Sky Pauses Painting, Oil Color W:36 H:48 in 2026 Kathelen Weinberg

Where the Sky Pauses explores a fleeting moment when movement slows and the landscape seems to hold its breath. Built through layered oil and cold wax, the surface allows forms to emerge, dissolve, and reassemble— mirroring the impermanent nature of weather, water, and light. Rather than describing a specific place, the painting invites contemplation of transition itself: the space between turbulence and calm, presence and passing. Subtle irregularities in texture and edge are embraced, honoring the beauty found in restraint, incompleteness, and quiet attention.

Untitled II Sculpture W:14 H:12 in 2023 Dylan Rivera

Plaster, paper pulp, acrylic paint. This is the second edition to the biomorphic series nodding to gestures of presence, honor, and other worlds. The balance of the more static cylindrical form in the middle pulls on the bulbous alien-like feelers, offering narratives of the natural and the foreign.

Esperanza, [Spanish For: Hope] Painting, Mixed Media W:20 H:20 in 2024 Lourdes Rivera - LULU

Acrylic, oil pastels, inks, resin. A tree with all its branches withered, set against a backdrop of vibrant colors, with a bright red heart at its center—all of this represents the tree's promise to bloom and flourish once more. The heart symbolizes the reaffirmation of that hope, a promise only love can fulfill.

Beneath The Surface Painting, Acrylic on Canvas W:24 H:24 in 2022 Megan Stueber

This piece represents our oceans and how little is known of what exists beneath the surface. Less than 5 percent of the oceans have been explored, and there is so much wonder and beauty left to be discovered and protected. AW127503898

Soaring Photography W:12 H:8 in 2023 Rob Syles

Matte acrylic w/a aluminum dibond backing w/french hook. She hangs suspended in a ribbon of red, a living ember against the vast white of the dry lake bed. Wind and gravity conspire beneath her as silk coils around her body, turning strength into poetry. From that impossible height, she looks untouchable—equal parts danger, grace, and defiance.
