Zeus' Backyard
Ryan Markley
$185.00


Artist statement: I am a self-taught, abstract intuitive artist, trauma survivor, and mental health advocate. My work encourages regenerative thinking, and the expansion of imagination, facilitating awareness of trauma experiences and extreme emotional states that carry with it the possibility for post-traumatic growth. I hope my creations portray the inherent beauty in all forms of emotional experiences and inspire others to look within and reimagine the nature of creative transformation.
Specific medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Electromagnetic Waves on a Black Sand Beach
Electromagnetic Waves on a Black Sand Beach
Ryan Markley
$175.00


Artist statement: For me, painting serves as a form of meditation, and engaging in artistic endeavors creates a space for emotional catharsis and spiritual healing. The intuitive creation process is always more important than the product, allowing for the natural flow of consciousness with no goal as to what emerges on the canvas. I am merely the conduit, allowing the movement of universal energies through my creative space. I hope my creations portray the inherent beauty in all forms of emotional experiences.

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: Most people do not think of Massachusetts as a photography hotspot. And especially Central Massachusetts. But rather than roaming the world in search of photos, I like to stay close to home and seek out opportunities hidden in our corner of the state. These images show some of what I've seen from the intimate to the expansive.

Pine Edged Road
Natalie McGuire
$899.00


Artist statement: My soul’s need to create art comes from my parent's love of travel via RV. When me and my brothers were younger, we believed that the road trip was a part of the journey that you can’t get from a plane. We would sit and watch the landscape go by, as this was our Television. No reruns to watch, just magical views to ignite my child’s imagination insisting that my mind wander. This has stuck with me into my adult life, and how I decide what areas I want to explore.
Specific medium: Digital infrared - black n white photo

Mary Jo McKeon


Artist statement: Looking out at this iconic view in Acadia National Park, you can't help but be inspired to try your hand at creating a lasting image. I love the challenge of reflections on water and the chance to contrast the still, glasslike surface with the jagged, sharp edged texture of the rocks in the foreground.
