Art is the primary tool I use for self-expression. I consider this ability a gift and means for communication. I am most inspired by organic forms with a particular focus on landscapes and human figures. The intent of my work is to provide a lens for the viewer to see the natural world as a spiritual journey.

Maritza Farrell was born on the island of Puerto Rico.  As an artist I was influenced by writers, poets, the beauty of the landscape, the deep color of the ocean and natural surroundings.  In the early years of my artistic career, I worked in graphic art, where I developed my own style and ways of expression.  For me this was the time for experimentation with different mediums: woodcut, lithography, linoleum, colograph, monotype, etching an many others.  Even my past art reflects the development of my work today.
In my work you can see that the matter is almost always the family.  The dream world influenced me and became part of my creativity and inspiration.  I use different mediums to evoke different emotions.  The images and objects become part of my dreamlike world where sometimes various images interplay with each other.  My work evokes emotions of happiness, of childhood memories, and surreal feeling of depth.
Also, different elements sometimes evoke the relationship of myself to nature and life.  Today you can seehow beauty of nature has become a source for abstract images of my work.

I started working with clay on my own about 10 years ago after many years of yearning to.  I then began taking lessons with a local potter and was introduced to raku firing.  Focusing now on one of a kind raku fired claywork, I work from my home studio, throwing and hand building white  stoneware, and firing in an electric raku kiln.   Having been a family therapist  for the past 20 years, I know very well the limits of verbal communication.  Through my claywork I attempt to express meaning, sometimes by intention, other times by listening to the piece after it is done.

Stephen C. Fischer
I am an interdisciplinary artist.  I identify more directly with my creative process than I do with a particular art technique, artifact, or medium.  In my work I involve imagery, words, sound, and movement.  I use whatever materials best support my intentions.  The joy that I experience in learning, teaching, storytelling and collaboration moves me to engage with art that encourages creative community. My art practices include drawing, painting, illustration, photography, digital imagery, graphic design, theatrical set design and construction, performance art, puppetry, videography, and art education. Currently, as a graphic arts professor at Lasell, I am fully engaged with all of these disciplines.

Caron Gonthier is an interdisciplinary artist living in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. She has an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art degree from Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont. Her art is about slowing down time to evaluate the liminal moment. She emphasizes the value of life while it is being lived as well as revisiting memories both experienced and genetic to reevaluate meaning. Her work draws from such influences as 17th century Dutch still life paintings, 19th century American memento mori photography, and the archetype of the journey. Her background is in photography, but she also weaves in her interests in ancient history, sewing, and digital manipulation thereby establishing herself as a mixed media as well as a digital artist..

Carole Murray is an artist who lives in NYC. I am an Intuitive Counselor working for the past twenty-seven years in Manhattan. In 1980 I began to design Tarot decks and many of my decks
are represented in the Encyclopedia of Tarot, vol. 3. In 2002 I co-created ServingSpirits.com, an online venue for reclaiming spiritual icons and returning them to the people. That venture, along with a trip to New Mexico, led me to begin my shrine-work in 2005. Inspired by the simplicity and sincerity of the folk shrines I have seen, I attempt to honor the various people and spirits who have influenced and guided me from the beginning.

i’m interested in interpretations. i like to see how people interpret their memories, their actions and by these things, their identities. i like to take familiarity and re-interpret it. i like to use tools for alternative purposes. i thrive on intuition and whim. i also thrive on the corporeal; i like texture and prefer physical connections with all things. i work heavily with black and white photography and film, photocopy, and collage because i like the physicality and depth that handling materials can provide. the embodiment of this interpretation is discovery and (r)evolution.

Lucas Schulze I am drawn to the way you and I make conclusions. I like to draw conclusions about the way we perceive what is wild or seemingly ordinary. Representations are a way to make evident the spaces and gestures we find indicative of our experiences in the world. I re-present my experiences as a form of acknowledgement to the contact I have had with what is most terrifying and beautiful.

I have been creating large scale, multimedia installations since 1980. My work began as an exploration of a young woman growing up in a traditional, patriarchal environment. It continued on to include issues of substance abuse, family dysfunction, mental health, organized religion, and genocide. Since 2001, my work has begun to focus on healing.
The work is created in order to understand the powerful societal forces which dominate culture and to raise consciousness regarding these issues. The work incorporates common objects, familiar occasions and rituals in order to connect with a broad audience. I utilize visual beauty as a way of drawing my audience in, revealing the underlying emotional chaos upon closer inspection. Many of my pieces have become out of date since their creation, which was my dream for making them in the first place.
Could we ever possibly imagine a world without genocide? My belief is yes, someday….

Tore Terrasi, from Easton, MA., currently residing in Providence, RI and received a Masters of Fine Arts in Visual Design from Umass Dartmouth. The ambition of the artist is to try and create new ways of reading or interacting with typography. Most often these experiments lead to kinetic or animated pieces. The work explores various branches and synthesis of digital arts, graphic design and creative writing. By incorporating graphic, animated, and interactive elements the process of reading will become more exciting, engaging, and more fully understood. With static forms of text, the audience's perception of importance weakens as the immediate urgency to understand a text diminishes. I hope to not only reverse this trend, but create more aesthetically pleasing literature. To contact artist email toreterrasi@yahoo.com
