For these pieces, I tie canvas panels into steel grids and paint both sides of the panels – sky imagery on the front and color fields on the reverse. Photographs are not involved. Sometimes the cords extend beyond the confines, breaking boundaries between the real and represented. Other times they appear to vanish, the panels… Read more »
I am a painter working in North Carolina. Inspired by the foliage and fresh air of wilderness areas as well as the vibrancy of diverse urban areas. I show my work locally as a member of the City Market Artist Collective located in downtown Raleigh. I also show my work regionally and nationally.
My name is Joanathan Bessaci Ribaillier. I am a local Washington D.C. artist of French origin. I emigrated to the District from France, where I was born and grew up. I currently work with antique maps (from roughly 1920 to 1970) which I use because I like their color and texture but also because for… Read more »

I was born and raised on the Chesapeake Bay. I grew up crabbing and fishing with local watermen and have always felt a connection to the bay. I have been a Carpentry/Woodworking Teacher and woodworker for over 42 years. The driftwood thing is a recent endeavor that was made convenient by last summer’s hurricanes… Read more »
I begin each piece by creating a collage background of book pages from various sources.

Including more modern sources also including botanical drawings, mechanical drawings, maps, mathematical/geometric drawings, architectural drawings, medical/anatomical illustrations, non-English texts, illustrations of… Read more »

My practice comprises intricate, contemplative mixed-media collages, wall-sculptures, paintings, and works on paper. The work’s concerns evolve on several axes: My experience as a person with low and decreasing vision has heightened my sensitivity to the invisible and ambiguous, the distorted, the grey, and the blurry, as well as the paradoxes of being a visual… Read more »
METALLIC CONSTRUCTIONS SCULPTURE I see my work as expressing both male and female elements within a lively tension. Pulling from the opposite polls; negative, positive, space and form, inner and outer. Often in my recent works I discern an inner form that contradicts the outer shape. This suggests to me a coming together of new… Read more »
I am a sculptor working in glass. My glass of choice is tempered or plate glass. Unlike bottle glass, which is actively recycled, building glass is not recycled but dumped in landfills. I began my own form of recycling by reusing these materials to create my artwork. I love the soft green tint of this… Read more »
Landscapes Abstracts Inspired by the quiet of the Virginia country-side and the beauty and force of the Cape Cod lands and waters, my paintings focus on nature and its constant changes. My Spartina series, begun in 2006, concentrates on grasses which grow mostly by the water’s edge and in water. These grasses reflect nature at… Read more »
My paintings come from an unapologetic desire to describe the beauty of the natural world. In these dark times, when our planet and our very existence have never been more threatened, beauty is light and truth. It reminds us of what we have and warns us of what we will lose. It appeals to our… Read more »
My “undressing” of trees reveals both their beauty and their imperfections. Bringing forth rough exteriors and exploring rich hidden interiors, I shape fallen trees into works of art with spirit and structure and timelessness. Mindful connections render my artwork into aesthetic abstractions, offering the potential for the viewer to experience inspiration and meditation. Tree wounds… Read more »
