R O B E R T L L E W E L LY N Robert Llewellyn, Bob to his friends, knew from the very f irst time he started porting
an old Nikon camera around his high school in southern Virginia that all he wanted to do was to take pictures. He left his engineering studies at the University of Virginia a little early and headed out to California to learn under famous photographer Imogen Cunningham in Eureka in 1968 for that very reason. Now a prominent professional
photographer, Bob has operated for most of four decades out of his “house-cum-studio” overlooking the Rivanna River in Earlysville, Virginia, just outside Charlottesville. Bob wants to know, and has always wanted to know, how everything works - even
the ubiquitous objects directly in front of him, which often go unnoticed. This urge compels him to make intimate images of his immediate landscape. Fragments of
his familiar world, which are not quite new to him, can be shockingly unique when scrutinized.
These photographs were created as part of his work on three books, Seeing Trees, Trees Up Close, and Seeing Seeds. robertllewellyn.com

C H A RLE S W. S M ITH Charles Smith (1893-1987) was a printer, painter, and
professor at the University of Virginia who grew up in
nearby Waynesboro, Virginia. He was celebrated both for his evocative black and white prints of Virginia subjects and for his experimental, colorful abstract block paintings. He was the f irst chair of UVA’s Art Department.
For Smith, as well as for many f ine printers, books were a
particularly important creative venue, and source of income. Over the course of his career, he worked for commercial
publishers and small presses alike. It is impossible to know how many books Smith helped produce, for while some
contributions, such as illustrations, are credited, many others are not: jacket design, page layout, typography, and more.
These letterpress images were originally commissioned for a book titled The University of Virginia: Thirty-Two Woodcuts by Charles W. Smith, published by Johnson Publishing Company, Richmond, Virginia (1937). The woodcuts
were donated by Smith to the UVA Library. Plates from
subsequent reproductions were discarded and later entrusted to the Virginia Center for the Book, a program of Virginia
Humanities, where they were re-struck in letterpress limitededition with permission of Smith ’s family in 2014. vabookcenter.org

her B.A. in art and anthropolog y from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Karina’s upbringing as a daughter of Mexican immigrants has led her to seek a life and career dedicated to the social justice and representation of Latinx communities.
“Needlework has a dominant presence in my work, as it is often associated with
womanhood and domesticity. The process of working in such forms triggers a feeling
of humbleness, as each imperfect stitch is executed by hand. Patience and attention to
detail are vital ingredients in the production of such work. Bringing attention to these everyday “ domestic” objects makes the viewer question their signif icance. Suddenly a spoon is no longer just a spoon, it is important now, it has a presence. The spoon has power, and by extension, so does the woman.” karinaamonroy.com

exhibited throughout the region and her work is featured in many private collections.
“This piece was painted from a photograph I took in Pungo last August. I love how diverse the Virginia landscape can be, and this spot showcases the salty, late summer light of our state’s
coastal region. The lilies on the water create a rich texture that works well with my patterned style of brushwork. For me, it is a reminder of the peace that comes from our yearly tradition of
leaving behind our beloved mountains and heading east toward the coast.”

Isabelle Abbot investigates place and time in her paintings, usually
the places in and around her native Charlottesville. She received her BA in Studio Art with Distinction from the University of Virginia in 2005 and her MFA from the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro in 2011. She has taught art at the University of Virginia and also been the recipient of awards and fellowships including a Residency at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts in Amherst.
Abbot’s work is in numerous private and public collections and has
been included in signif icant exhibitions with catalogues such as the 2019 “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell ” at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville.
“Every painting is a question I pose to myself, about the landscape, about
my relationship to my environment, about the specif icities of where I am. How does this moment feel? How does the atmosphere, the topography,
the light affect me? How can I communicate these sensations honestly and clearly? The answer comes through editing, through paring down and
cutting out extraneous detail to discover what is essential about a place.
All the work begins with direct observation and, by asking and answering questions, grows into a painting that does not illustrate but embodies the qualities of a particular moment in a particular landscape.” @isabelleabbotart.home

detailed evidence of change, decay, and processes that occur in nature. She f inds great inspiration in a carrot that has gone to f lower, a broken seed

Cate West Zahl is a painter working in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she lives with her husband and three sons. She f irst studied studio art
under Lee Newman at the Holton-Arms school, and then went on to earn her BA in Fine Arts from Hamilton College. Her academic training was based in the technical study of life, a strong foundation from which she could explore more explicit abstraction. Her resulting abstractions are
reminiscent of Richard Diebenkorn’s and push his discoveries in often new and exciting directions. catewestzahl.com

“The monotype takes its name from a line in T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland. Most of my titles
come from poems or song lyrics or scraps of writing; the titles may either directly or indirectly (or both) relate to the content of the print or painting. The titles can seem dissociative, and end up being enigmatic and mysterious because of this, but that’s OK, because I don’t want
the viewer’s experience to be yoked to a specif ic title. The medium of dark f ield monotype is both fascinating and perplexing to me because it is only through the removal and sustained absence of one thing that another is brought into being.” davidwilsonhawkins.com

BILL HURLEY black and white photograph 1909 © The Alber t and Shirley Small Special Collections Librar y, Universit y of Virginia
The Holsinger Studio Collection at the Albert & Shirley Small Special Collections Library constitutes a unique photographic record of life in
Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia, from before the turn of the
century through World War I. The collection consists of approximately 9,000 dry-plate glass negatives and 500 celluloid negatives from the commercial studio of Rufus W. Holsinger.
Approximately t wo-thirds of the collection are studio portraits, and among
these are nearly 500 portraits of African-American citizens of Charlottesville and the surrounding area. UVA history professor John Edwin Mason and
Worthy Martin, director of the Institute for Advanced Technolog y in the
Humanities, recently collaborated to bring these portraits to the public. A
number of the nearly 500 photos will be displayed in a series of events funded by an Arts & Sciences Diversity and Inclusion grant.
William “Bill ” Hurley, photographed in 1909, was a liveryman and a long-time
employee of infamous Charlottesville mayor J. Samuel McCue. Hurley testif ied at the mayor’s 1904 murder trial. Here, it appears as though Hurley is holding a lit match, but it’s likely Holsinger added the f lame after the photograph had been taken; the match likely would have burned out before the long exposure had f inished.
Rufus W. Holsinger came to Charlottesville in the late 1880’s to establish a photographic business. His “University Studio” at 719-721 West Main soon
became the leading studio in town. Holsinger was a long-time member of the City Council, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and an organizer and
director of the National Bank of Charlottesville. After his death in 1930, the
studio was owned and operated by his son, Ralph W. Holsinger, Jr., who moved the studio in 1935 to its familiar location at 908 West Main. Upon the son’s
retirement in 1969, the studio passed from the hands of the Holsinger family, and the business ceased operation in 1977.
The Holsinger Studio Collection was acquired in 1978 by the University of
Virginia through generous contributions made by the Alumni Association and an anonymous donor.

“ Weight In Sea is a work that evolved over time. Typical to my
process, I work in layers of less and less failed decisions that resolve to
a more clear end result. The history of the practice is seen through edit marks, washes of stacked color, and spaces between abutting shapes.
Whereas the origins of Weight In Sea was a bit darker in mood, the emerging bright colors ultimately settled in to provide the dominant structure.”

“My paintings have always been about the activity of light—color, shadow, ref lection and refraction. According to the ancient Eastern idea of the Net of Indra, everything in light communicates with everything else in light. This repeated still life has no
beginning and no end, and its forms display themselves as light, which also engages
light outside the painting, where the viewer stands. The spectral colors of a rainbow are refracted light.”

NANCY BASS Nancy Bass’s paintings are inspired by the herd of cattle that she raises on her farm in Central Virginia. The
animals, plants, and insects in her oil paintings reference classical themes from Renaissance paintings, dreams, and fairy tales. The backgrounds in her work are abstracted f ields of colors that ref lect the sensibility of each
painting and the colors of the depicted animals and elements. The juxtaposition of realism against abstraction heightens the viewer’s engagement with the animals and seeks to place these paintings into the contemporary genre of animal painting.
Nancy’s animals become iconic symbols of a world currently examining the humane treatment of farm animals and increasing environmental concerns. Her paintings highlight the beauty of her animals and also seek to engage the viewer with their individuality and humanity. nancybassartist.com

f loor, shifting light and atmosphere. Increasingly, I seek to combine these visual narratives with the histories of
place. How can we hold the stories of these lands to bring about curiosity, or discomfort or convey new ideas? Past, present and future collide. Imagined combines with real, abstraction with representation.” susanmcalister.com

lifes characterized by rich layering of strong colors. She shows her work widely in Central Virginia and is a member of the McGuffey Art Center.
“Energy and movement are the real subject of my still life paintings. In setting up a
still life, I look for an initial gestural path connecting the objects in the painting. Over
repeated painting sessions, new and unexpected paths emerge. The constant rethinking of what connections to emphasize and which to let recede puts a tension into play. Things
grow, shrink and get shifted right and left and the residue of these changes add unexpected rhythms to the paintings. Similarly, over time the interaction of color appears to change in timbre. As these changes are documented, unexpected colors knock against each other
creating an energy and excitement I never could have predicted. The resulting paintings
are more expressive than accurate, less about a moment glimpsed than about a duration of time and a multiplicity of observations.” jessiecolespainting.weebly.com

“My work is drawn from my experience of the natural world. In
my landscape paintings, I want to capture the unique character of a place, time of day, season, through a particular quality of light and shape. The ephemeral, transitory effects of light in the landscape are more interesting to me than tangible subject matter such as
trees, f ields, etc. The paintings may appear to have been created by an economy of means, but closer examination reveals that the
work is the result of an editing process often with multiple layers painted in an attempt to reduce and distill subject matter to the FL AT TENING INTO BEDFORD COUNT Y, EARLY FALL oil on canvas 72” x 48” 2018
essentials. An awareness of the materiality of paint, its weight and plasticity, is interesting to me as a counterpoint to f luctuating and ethereal light.”

The artist uses cartoonish iconography, occasional text, and collage materials simultaneously, creating a complex and textured painterly surface. Situated squarely in the realm of painterly abstraction, her
works demonstrate the creative process as both content and journey. Listening becomes as important as doing, viewer is invited in as interpreter, and the resulting images are playfully open-ended. sarahboytsyoder.com
