Charles GULBRANDSEN

MY painting process evolves by alternating layers of opacity and translucency. Described by many as either distant nebulae or firing neurons, these luminous layers of inter-connectivity seem to be part of the natural world and yet somehow, other. Undulating structures emerge from these luminous nebulae in a light which is emitted, rather than cast, revealing a form which describes rather than defines. Together, they address this odd encounter between the natural and perceived world by making no reference to scale and as a result, my paintings tend to hang more like questions rather than statements.

If the distinction between light and space can no longer be determined, what place is this? Where are we now?

JIM Malloy is a national award winning author and artist who explores abstract expression using acrylics. His artwork is known for its raw style, vibrant colors and bold style.

Malloy is a participating member of The Ridgefield Guild of Artists, Kent Art Association in Kent CT, Society of Creative Arts in Newtown, Stamford Art Association, and Carriage Barn Arts Center in New Canaan, CT.

WILLIAMS Jen

JENNIFER

Williams is an Australian born contemporary oil painter residing in Rowayton, Connecticut. Her paintings are lively expressions of landscapes, cities, figures and abstract themes. Building on a long-standing history that has led from ancient art and impressionism to the art of today, her paintings bring a sense of joy and light to the senses. Using gesture, line and form she communicates the majesty of our landscapes as she perceives them - full of movement and light. Jennifer has a way of mixing reality with a sense of fantasy. Upon entering her studio, one is invited to become immersed in her work. She captures the mystical beauty of the city streets in the moonlight, the long cast of the shadows in lower Manhattan, the warm glow of the Paris Cafes and the glitz of Times Square. Her technique of painting, texturing, glazing and extracting on metal enables the viewer to feel the energy and excitement of her landscapes. Her botanical paintings expertly capture the essence of free, uninhibited growth. In her compositions, recognizable plants mingle with botanical creations. Her vantage point sites the viewer directly within the midst of the plant-scape. Taking the perspective of an insect, one is surrounded by large, riotous flowers and intricate, uncontained vines that seem to spill beyond the edges of the canvas. She is a close observer of nature’s rhythms, patterns and revelations.

MULHEAR Meredith

AS an artist, believe in art for art’s sake. But as a member of humanity, I believe in art with purpose. As such, I use my work as a conduit for change and to foster awareness. My art is my voice.

“Nature has always spoken to me in quiet ways, but now I find there’s an inextricable link between me and the natural world that finds its voice in all my work.”

This sentiment holds true for my current work. The pandemic launched us into unprecedented times and my work is a reflection of this environment. Influenced by a climate of uncertainty, I look to find grounding and bring solace to those who struggle to find the light. My work seeks to take the viewer on a journey of self discovery. It speaks to the significance of family, community and compassion through an exploration of the past, present and future. In these tumultuous times, there is an opportunity to take stock of what’s important and find the silver lining among the darkness.

MatthewFRANZ

ORIGINATING

from Philadelphia and coming up during the vibrant 1980s, Matthew draws profound inspiration from the vivid palettes, substantial forms, and assertive strokes inherent in the graffiti milieu of that period. Currently refining their craft in the artistic community of Ridgefield, CT, he has found a nurturing environment to continue his creative journey.

His artistic style serves as a visual manifestation of the innermost sparks of his spirit, capturing an unwavering commitment to absolute independence and expressing his innate emotions through the language of bold color, cubism, and geometric abstraction. Coming from a creative family, he nurtured a lifelong passion for the arts. Geometric abstraction lets him channel his love for color and shift from art as a hobby to his vocation, aiming to foster connection and communication. His pieces fuse vivid colors, bold lines, and angular shapes, resulting in luminous and energetic narratives.

LilyFERTIK

LILY Fertik is a contemporary artist, born in New York City. She studied commercial art/ advertising at Ft. Lauderdale College, then followed the path of her first love, Claude Monet, to develop more fully as a visual artist. Having come from a long line of artists, art collectors and creatives, her appreciation of the bounty that is at the heart of an artist’s life has given her the courage to pursue her craft, despite challenges along the way. Lily is a talented expressionist who’s artistic style articulates the paradox of all that is both certain and uncertain. The contrast between what is complicated and what is clear and simple is beautifully framed in her images. In the Portal series, she shows the expansive beauty of color and contrast, while powerfully offering the chance to become grounded in her simple, clear, calm, use of basic colors. Through sight and sensibility, we are both transported and rooted at the same time. It is the great gift her paintings bring to the viewer.

Lily’s works naturally transpose emotional experience into visual form through the use of color, movement and medium. She incorporates different materials in her paintings to create context and contour and to express the energy of hope; moving one beyond current time and space. Lily works intuitively and expressively from a place of trained standards, while at the same time pushing past limitations, inviting freedom and potentiality.

MAHON Terrence

TERRENCE

Mahon, an Industrial Designer whose innovative approach to threedimensional product design left an indelible mark at Kohler Company, where he served as a Design Studio Manager. In 2018, Mahon made a bold pivot, channeling his creative energy into an entirely new realm as a multimedia artist.

Now, his captivating artwork graces numerous collections showcasing a diverse range of mediums — from painted canvases to intriguing plaster figurative sculptures, and unique wood and metal creations. His journey from the world of industry to the realm of art is a testament to his versatility and the boundless possibilities of creativity.

As an evolving product designer, I have found myself drawn to the realm of art, specifically threedimensional sculpture. My artistic journey has led me to the creation of interior wall art, a medium that seamlessly incorporates my design philosophy.

The core of my design philosophy revolves around three fundamental principles: beauty, order, and meaning. These principles have guided my creative process, shaping my designs into pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful.

All my creations are empathetic to the interior architecture and decor styles, ensuring versatility in their placement. This adaptability allows my artwork to blend seamlessly into various interior design aesthetics, making it a versatile addition to any space.
