Geri Woodruff
One does not select their obsession; it inevitably selects its owner. I am
fascinated with shiny things – specifically the breaking and putting back
together of an assortment of objects in a maniacal attempt to create images
of abstraction. I dream of violent color clashes mixed with non- linear
visions extracted from a mind inspired by street nature. This comes from reflections of too much time spent consuming caffeine and examining the
things we wear, eat and drink. I’m drawn to how people interact, how they try to blend in and especially when they explode from their surroundings.My art is a statement of what consumes my interior dialogue at a certain
point in time. I create because I must, to obtain balance from items that
envisioned and placed together are a little less ordinary. I find routine
tedious. Pick up bits and pieces, put them down and never duplicate. I
embrace the discarded and dismissed.
“Todo estar en su lugar” - Everything is in its place.

Danielle Shaheen
Danielle Shaheen is a Boston-based artist working with traditional etching
techniques, and she recently received her BFA in Printmaking from the
Massachusetts College of Art. Her work explores the long tradition of
religion and belief. The art she creates attempts to unify iconographic and
symbolic images from a number of historical narratives thereby expressing our modern understanding of the evolution of belief. Through the reinterpretation and demystification of history, her work expresses that nothing is absolute; history, facts, and human understanding are constantly changing and affecting each other.

Sarah Hill
When I have an idea, it's as if I can taste it. This idea becomes burned in my brain like a photo, leaving me yearning to bring it into reality. If the time between the idea and the creation is too long my body swells with emotion. I cannot sleep or concentrate.

Jenna Lee Mason
Finding one's true identity in a superficial and materialistic world can be
difficult. This work addresses the angst we feel about our self-identity,
and physical form. In my portraits, I assume the role of characters that
exist deep within my imagination. These images represent different emotions and experiences in our lives.

Angela Cassano
I am passionate about color, and its infinite abundance in nature. I am
fascinated how the color of everyday objects can be so easily overlooked. In
my work I try to represent the true splendor and glory of simple everyday
objects. The simplest leaf, rock, and ripple in the water are all proof of
nature’s magnificence. My hope is that the glorification of everyday objects,
can truly inspire appreciation and amazement in all of us for the ‘simple
things’.

elementary forms.

Faith Towers
Time, color, emotion and human interaction. I strive to find beauty in the ordinary. Water, reflection and movement. Intriguing to me is the passage of time. The beautiful state of Vermont, the cultural city of Saratoga Springs, New York and the historical city of Boston have all influenced this work throughout my life.

Stephen Albee
I started drawing and painting ten years ago as a source of therapy. My style is expressive impressionism, using free-association, in both color and form, to create abstract pieces that give the impressions of form and motion. I attempt to express and exercise the subconscious.

Doug Melcher
Doug Melcher is a Boston architectural photographer by day. When he is not creating images of beautiful homes for marketing purposes, Mr. Melcher likes to show the uncommon world around us to remind mankind that the gray alien is perhaps the central definition of “normal” and that those who claim no creature as strange as an alien could exist are simply living with their eyes closed.
