Nine Paintings by Karen Fitzgerald
July 2011
"For the past five-plus years, I've been using gilding as a first layer in the painting process. 23k gold, silver, 12k gold, copper—all produce a luscious surface that is dynamic—paint sits on top in very thin layers. I'm not interested in these surfaces as a decorative twist. I like viewers to hark back to sacred artwork from world religions—gilded Buddhas, golden halos on sacred Christian personalities, gilded sacred objects."
Nine Paintings by Carla Lobmier
June 2011
"Carla Lobmier's use of the word is not so much an effort to create a context as much as it is to create an integrated aesthetic—her words become poetry, poetry becomes visual and the visual absorbs and celebrates the context of the word in all its manifestations. Word is both subject and methodology, word is the means of transformation."

Four Photographs by Michael Crowley
March 2010
"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."

The horizons are to be widened, not narrowed. I keep mine wide open."
