If being a human, means our identity is composed of a layering of stories, those we retell about ourselves and those we overtime ascribe importance and value to, my work deals with those stories that often go untold or forgotten; the stories of the physical body.

These works are meditations on the persistence of memory and on the celestial, transporting quality of the color blue. They are embodiments of the state of mind that remembering can elicit and they relate to the fragile/ironbound ties that connect us one to the other. Dispersion is always balanced by an invisible web of connection that transcends distance. Back to Artist Index

I have been an artist since I could first hold a pencil, and a printmaker since my first etching course. I have hauled my etching press from state to state, and across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. I continued my work while in Moscow, Russia. I am fascinated with faces, figures, and the endless possibilities of printmaking.

Each summer I go deep into the wilderness of Alaska's mountains to paint. I spend my time chasing light and dancing shadow, trying to capture the dynamic richness of this spare and wonderful northern landscape. Working in the endless light of the arctic summer is my wellspring; it grounds me for the flights of introspection that occupy me in the studio during the majority of the year when it is too cold to paint outside.

My work is based on specific impressions related to movies from the 1930's and 1940's. These impressions refer to actual films, studio publicity, fan magazines and other memorabilia. I use film characters and then freely reinterpret. In blending past and present images, I try to create a sense of deja vu or nostaglia.

I always draw landscapes. The landscapes that I have seen, the feelings that I feel, the memories that are passed away.
Love, joy, sorrow, friends, family, faith... Sometimes, all these turn into shapes. And sometimes, hundreds of after images overlap over and over.
So the shapes become hidden. And only afterimages of lines and planes remain. Back to Artist Index

I majored in all aspects of Fine Art Printmaking, Photography, Art History and Art Education. In recent years I developed a great interest in working in the Monotype and Monoprint media. This allows me the possibility of combining all of my Printmaking and Photography experiences into a new and expressive form of art making that is quite satisfying and exciting.
I am forever challenging myself with new ideas and images which I find all around me. Back to Artist Index

Native habitats, plants, animals, insects, and rocks that are unique to a particular place are the subject of my artwork. Native habitats are often home to endangered and threatened species. Increasingly, my work focuses on these sensitive places. Recent work from art residencies at Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park explore the swampy jungle places and exotic plants of these unique environments.

One of the things I love is the woman's figure. I did a little ballerina, Carmen Electra in the shower pose in Playboy and a mermaid for my love of the sea. I focus on making the female form more interesting to the eye. I am Autistic and have some paranoid schizophrenia. I've had this all my life. I fight depression. My woodcuts are one of the things that got me out of the hospital.

The many techniques of printmaking allow me to express my interest in nature, color, and drawing. What I love is the agonizing fun of striving for a planned result when I know I will always get something mysterious and unpredictable and based partly on chance in spite of what I intended. The new image frequently leads to something even better. I am inspired by the colors and shapes of the succulents in my cousin Barbara's Malibu garden and the pistachio green eyes of my beautiful cat, Sebastian.

My art expresses the essence of desert objects, accenting the work with the spiked lines of a cactus or perhaps the spiraling chaos of a tumbleweed. Layered behind these representations of desert vegetation are patchwork designs of simple shapes –- squares, wide strips, and lines—that call to mind the traditional weaving inspired by the deserts of North America.

Natural and architectural forms are my primary source material, and I use these as a means of exploring human endeavour and its impact on the environment. I work in etching, drypoint, lithography, direct gravure and photogravure, all of which give me great leeway to explore the graphic mark. My work is in many national and international collections.

I am a painter/printmaker who has always been fascinated by the transitory nature of things and events and/or objects come together but for a moment before they change to something else. My paintings and prints always contain this element of "time" expressed through one artistic vehicle or another. I think of my work as visual poetry. And like a poem, I want each piece to be complex enough that its secrets are slowly revealed. And yet, simple enough to be one thought.

My art and imagery reflect my long running interest in aerial views and maps of earth. In my current series of prints, “Earthworks”, I incorporate abstract images of the natural world, such as water, rocks, mountains, and clouds. The map-like imagery uses lines and markings to suggest both ambiguity and opportunity on the routes of our personal journeys.

I mainly explore issues of representations of the female body in our modern society and codings of closure and disclosure. Fragmentation of the female body, as a direct result of mis-representation through the media, is at the core of my pre-conditions, as well as how the constant visual and social pressure provides a fertile ground for the development of neurosis and a strong feeling of alienation amongst women of all ages.

I ‘m a figural artist of “Romantic” persuasion. I ‘m also a draughtsman-painter in that drawing is the genesis of all of my work. I constantly draw from models, partly for the great pleasure it affords but, primarily, to maintain perceptual sensitivity and to obtain fresh data to fill a reservoir of images that may be tapped, when needed, for my paintings and prints.

Digital imagery can lead us astray; it can entice us into an uncanny realm. Using light, it allows us to see through the screen of reality to another reality beyond. Often my “beings” seem to levitate between two realities, bridging and separating at the same time. The stories I tell through my work are truthful or fictitious as need be as I search for the unique and the personal.
In this series I am engaging the human figure directly while allowing an enigmatic otherness to manifest itself. I am exploring the strange and complicated nature of being human in a natural world. While creating this work, I engaged metaphor and symbolism to suggest a story that is to be completed by the viewer.Artist Contact

I grew up in 20th century Hungary. Our political leaders were in fear of new art movements, so that there was nothing available but the teaching and studying of classical art. It is the challenge of this tension between the well known and that which must be discovered that provides me with the greatest joy in both teaching and in my own private practice.

My works include mythic symbols, sacrificial creatures and abstract forms that allude to an essence of being that range from rhythms of agreement to injuries from discord, respectively, the result of cultures moving together in peace or apart in conflict.

Often, my etchings and monotypes take the viewer on a journey into twilight worlds of the imagination. Whether the vehicle is an inventive creature or a human depiction, there is a sustaining energy, a strength and pathos in that being’s odyssey. Some of these works express a state of mind, an emotional evolution, a wish or a fulfillment.

Many of my landscape etchings are drawn outdoors, directly from the motif. If necessary, they are worked up in the studio in successive states. I try to combine the spontaneity of drawing with the strength of a carefully conceived composition. In most cases, I use only etched lines or drypoint and occasionally, aquatint.

I have regularly moved between natural studies and the pursuit of narrative images that convey a sense of theater, emphasize the drama and enigma inherent in natural forms, and produce encounters with the dramatic, the bizarre and the humorous.
In the recent years, I have worked largely in the print media using traditional techniques such as mezzotint, etching and stone lithography. At times, I use combinations of these in conjunction with elements of other mixed media approaches. Back to Artist Index

The “ZIG ZAG ZIG” prints are a continuing series of digital impressions produced in editions of three each. The images were conceived as bas-relief sculptural, studio- based collages. Every composition reveals, by its unique strength, how it would resolve itself as it follows the tendencies of its internal forces. I continue to add and subtract material to the still life in exploring preliminary proofs. I am interpreting nature in its purest, abstract state - constructing a rhythm of pictorial lyricism using objects impregnated with fluorescent pigments.

In this body of work, I am acting as a visual interrogator--appropriating photographs from the everyday, and through printmaking and collage, re-interpreting those images by juxtaposing them with bits of visual culture taken from the internet. The resulting narrative hints at disruptions in the social norm, especially bringing attention to gendered exchanges. Back to Artist Index

My art is a visual response to my own life experiences as a woman, mother, and member of the human race. While I am attracted to realism, my images are often allegorical, rather than literal. I am interested in nature and life’s natural cycles, such as the seasons or stages of life. Each image evolves as I find a symbolic or visual language to convey an emotion, or idea

Lisa Quagliozzi
For me the true nature of art is an activity or the actual making of something. I am only interested in the spontaneous moment, an inner reflection, or being free in the moment and having an honest connection with the subject or a central motif. At first, such is a figure, place or image. Only with this freedom can such an activity happen and can we really connect with our subject. This Zen-like awareness is then coupled with an even heightened awareness of materials involving us with an evolution or process, or event. This is true creativity. Making art happen thus becomes an outcome, not just a result, and this is inherent in all of us.

This body of work explores humanistic themes with mirrored repetition inspired by the kaleidoscope. These images reflecting Backwards & Forwards are placed in the context of life’s experiences, Past & Future, as separate entities and then viewed as a whole unit. These essential elements are mere pages of chapters in our life’s book, which can then be interpreted in choices humans have & make, possessing the power to control our own destiny

What we do in everyday situations, and what goes on around us unnoticed as we go through our lives as observers and as the observed, sometimes aware and often oblivious.

I began drawing before I could read, perhaps because my mother allowed me to color and draw on the walls of our house, before I went to school. The act of drawing has always been very fulfilling for me. It is an experience both joyous as well as tormenting, but, like a personal dialogue, always keeps me company. Drawing is the skeleton for whatever I create. Printmaking has allowed me to stretch my passion for drawing by forcing me first to create the “tool” which eventually creates the mark, which finally produces the print.
