Caryn is sixty-one and has been in the creative arena in some capacity since she was in her teens.

Whether through color, highlights and shadows, composition or subject matter; contrast creates the drama that brings art to life.
Through the technique of gestural abstraction, Jessica Wright invites us into a world of enchantment: a world of forested landscapes that are sometimes burning and bright and other times shrouded in mist. Self-taught, Jess has been painting since the age 12. About four years ago she abandoned the brush—after more than 25 years of work—and hit upon a “throwing” technique that employs acrylics, chopsticks and, of late, her own hands. Her paintings come to life with color and texture—and an immediacy that produces an almost child-like state of wonder and awe in the viewer.

Holly Olive is a Colorado-based painter. She was born in North Dakota, but has lived in a wide range of landscapes from the Mojave Desert to New England. This variety of landscapes is evident in the paintings she creates today. Inspired by dreams of altered worlds, her paintings embody the movement and color of an altered universe. Using acrylic and alcohol ink, she creates abstract landscapes of a world that is just outside her reach. She casts out her brush as if it were a wizard’s wand in unpredictable strokes to inflict a visual experience that stimulates the mind to ask “What world is this?” She uses a palette knife with an intentional splat to cleave into the fabric of time and space. She works back and forth, layer to layer, until she verges on falling from the precipice to a new and precious universe.
