The juror for Volumes 37 and 38 of Studio Visit was Diana Gaston, Director of the Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, NM. Diana is one of my favorite art world people. I have had the pleasure of knowing her since the early 2000s when she first joined the curatorial team at Fidelity Investments in Boston. Over the years, she helped to shape an extraordinary collection at Fidelity, and she was a steadfast supporter of local artists and galleries. Diana brings an incredible wealth of knowledge to her new position at the Tamarind, and it was a privilege to work with her on Studio Visit.

The competition that yielded Volumes 37 and 38 drew 778 applicants working in a range of media. As always, the medium of painting dominated the applicant pool, but photogprahy, scultpture and a variety of mixed media were all well represented. Of the applicants, two hundred and eighty-nine were selected for publication. In the interest of producing volumes of Studio Visit that are not overwhelmingly large, we have split the winning artists into two separate books, Volumes 37 and 38. This division is intended to make the publication manageable for our readership, and, more importantly, to maximize the benefit for participating artists.

The artists featured in Volumes 37 and 38 represent a wide range of aesthetic viewpoints that I think accurately capture the pluralistic time we live in. Some of the artists featured in Studio Visit are self-taught, while others hold graduate degrees. Some have shown extensively, while others are at the beginning of their careers. Regardless of their respective backgrounds, all of the artists featured in Studio Visit are serious about and committed to their work. So, we hope that you take the opportunity to contact any artist that you feel may be appropriate for your gallery or collection.

For your convenience, every artist has contact information provided.

In the interest of putting Studio Visit in front of the largest audience possible, I made the decision to make it available to anyone and everyone for free in digital format.

To see the current volumes or any past ones that you might have missed, please visit www.studiovisitmagazine.com, and feel free to spread the word.

I find in the depiction of the horizon a fitting analogy to our experience of how, through our creative work, the physical and spiritual worlds are brought together as one, each illuminating and clarifying the other, creating a coextensive unity of light, depth and meaning.

Denver, CO artglee@aol.com GALLERY AFFILIATION Galeria Corsica, Punta Mita, Mexico

Painting most every day for over 50 years, I have received many awards for my “distracted realism” style — realistic forms in an abstracted format.

Being at my studio in Mexico has inspired me to develop way of producing paintings on woven canvases or boards developed especially for water-based paints.

My approach to painting stems from a deep reverence for nature combined with a love of adventure, exploration, and the creative process. I immerse myself into each place that I paint, striving to capture its power, drama, and beauty in an elegant, direct, and expressive manner.

Through work I came to understand that my interest was in the underlying elemental forces at play which are not just “out there,� but also within. Quiet observation deepens experience of the immense inner-connectedness of everything.

Perception is not simply about looking at, but connecting with.

12

Inspired by portraiture, but working within the still life genre, I use objects to illuminate the essences of my subjects. I call this body of work portraits in absentia. I amplify these seemingly mundane things into a work of art that reveals truths about my subjects’ lives and personal journeys.

Everyday experience involves navigating one’s inner and outer environments and the continual tug between attention and distraction. With acrylic paint and collage, I attempt to capture and evoke these fluctuating mental and psychological states through the interactions of fragmented lines, forms, and spaces that fuse and shift.

A landscape enclosed by an ethereal shroud exists within layers of cut and painted materials. My installations explore unnatural concepts within a changing environment, creating lush and beautiful dystopias. My paintings tell stories of melting ice, rising tides, invasive plants, and birds adjusting to their new surroundings.

I am concerned with how we understand our environments, situations and experiences, and then, the decisions we make based on those observations. My current work focuses on allowing the moment of inspiration to present itself in its most authentic way. Preconceived ideas are put aside and intuition fuels the making.

I am a figurative oil painter marrying mythology with colloquial culture. My work is narrative, life-sized, representational, though unconstrained by realism. My current project’s premise, (NY Muse) is that standing in the studio I said the fatal words of ancient poets: O sing Muse.

They did, and inspiration descended.

This piece is centered on the basic components used to create a landscape: the foreground, middle ground and background. It also implies the presence of air, water and earth, elements often observed when reading a landscape.

NY Times critic William Zimmer has said, “Finnigan’s work is immediately appealing.”

Her work springs from imagined narrative, aligning it with painting’s original intent: telling a story.

In recent work, I have been focusing on a series of self-imposed limitations aimed at developing and exploring indirect painting methods. I often revisit a subject serially, in this case something skull-like, in order to establish reference points and make progress within the enormity of painting.

Memories of landscape and felt experience are the catalysts behind my paintings. Working in oil on panels, I am interested in the moment when mark making takes on meaning—when form and gesture become body. By anthropomorphizing plant life, I attempt to merge my relationship with the physical and psychological.

My works are, to a large degree, narratives in which one of the vital elements of the narrative structure is removed. This removal of setting, background, or color, is intended to emphasize what remains; a collective chord is resonated.

In my work as a Brazilian-born, Tel Aviv and China based sculptor, I wish to create a personal world with a unique language, that bridges between my long-time practice as a functional ceramicist and my recent years as an installation artist, exhibiting in art galleries and museums.

Working within the painting tradition, my most recent work tries to be a mixture of subtle elements and absence. I achieve this with the of use reclaimed canvas, strings, seams, texture and certain graphics-laden symbolism.

I started painting using hard edge techniques, but I felt a need to step out of that and be more loose and abstract. With these recent paintings, the motivation behind them was that there was a constant battle between color and shape, much like competition between people in everyday life.

Concerned with nature and deep ecology, these two paintings are part of a series centered around the Eastern red cedar tree. Each painting’s color palette is derived through a connection to the tree. Collectively, the paintings create a guild.

By facilitating my medium’s possibilities and liberating the paints to create accidental forms or texture, I open a view beyond the surface of the natural world into an imaginary one. I am interested in how tragic beauty, rich symbolism and the depths of human psyche are infused into the landscape.

I fell into photography when my reality fell apart.

I wanted more from photography, so it became an expressive impression of reality. I show emotion, destroy reality and create worlds that can’t be seen with honest eyes. The work takes on its own life, it’s never perfect yet always intentional.

My aesthetic evolves from an admiration of Asian Art. These works have a minimalist and meditative quality using modest materials discovered in nature such as stone, bamboo, wood and sea urchin quills. I often find them during my walks in the mountains, in the forests and on the sea shore.

My artistic practice has been motivated by an urge to account for unreliable visual experiences— measured through photography, interpreted through the language of painting, and formed in mixed media. These lithographs are a product of that process being looped as an experiment in animation, simulation, and camouflage.

Painting intuitively and spontaneously with no preconceived ideas most of the time is my approach to painting. The painting takes form and images emerge from the subconscious.

Nature is reflected in most of my work as evident in this painting. The painting is completed when it makes sense to me.

Landscape is a metaphor for life inside and out.

It is where we walk, view, embrace our daily experiences of existence. It is the story of what we belong to intimately. Branches that connect our years. It is where we stumble through the thicket and scramble to find a path.

Are beauty and aging irreconcilable?

Observing how our culture treats aging as an evil to avoid, Treese begins with photographs of a nude woman, distressing the images with water, wine, and other elements. The resulting “aged” piece radiates with beauty and integrity— answering our question with an empathic No.

To see existing connections and to create new ones. I am a conjurer of memory, where separate images and ideas are forced and fused together, like conglomerate rock, in order to make some sense of disparate elements.
