Children's Series
by Jim Fuess, May 2009
Jim Fuess works with liquid acrylic paint on canvas. Most of his work is abstract, but there are recognizable forms and faces in a number of the paintings. He is striving for grace and fluidity, movement and balance. He likes color and believes that beauty can be an artistic goal. There is whimsy, fear, energy, movement, fun and dread in his paintings. A lot of his work is anthropomorphic. The shapes seem familiar. The faces are real.

Michael Crowley, April 2009
"For me, taking pictures is a form of meditation, an enforced act of being present. To see the beauty, you must be there, you cannot be thinking of other times or places— you will miss the only life you have, going on around you. And beauty is everywhere . . . sometimes in the big picture (and most folks catch those moments,) but more often it’s in the fine details that are too easily missed if you are not living in that moment."

Nine Paintings by Candace Byington
November 2008
"Candace's art is heavily influenced by Mexican folk art, the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo, flower paintings of Georgia O'Keefe, works of Edvard Munch and the woodblock cuts of the German Expressionists. Her work explores the seven deadly sins, escapism, the solitude of the desert southwest, the glory and gore of ancient Mexico, the whimsical and macabre atmosphere of the day of the dead festival and the serenity of the sunset."
