Beth Fishman

Beth Fishman creates fresh, inspired abstract works in acrylic on canvas. Her work creates a sense of movement and excitement with direct brushstrokes, scraped passages and complex layers. These dynamic pieces invite the viewer to experience different states of being inside the world of the image.

"Making art is an act of opening a window into myself. In the end, the paintings make me as much as I make them. Perhaps these paintings can serve as windows for you to open for yourself."-- Beth Fishman

Karrie Baas

Karrie Baas creates unique sculptures and encaustic paintings inspired by animals and birds. Karrie’s latest body of work, “The Corvidae / Covid Series”, was initiated during the spring pandemic closure which she turned into a self-guided artist residency. The works in this series incorporate imagery of crows, bees and flowers in fluid compositions created with a tissue paper and encaustic (beeswax) technique. With evocative titles and vibrant colors, this series radiates a sense of hopefulness in the face of adversity.
