Donald Elder  is a three-time recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Award and received the Edward G McDowell Grant. Elder applies an abstract impressionist point of view to his paintings and has an emotional rapport with nature. His work echoes of fantasy, mystical light and romanticism.

Stuart Farmery  has been “drawn to simple shapes — forms that stray or bulge away from the familiar circle or square. These subtle distortions often provoke unexpected images and associations. I’m especially interested in how a basic shape can be gently pushed off balance, made to protrude or lean, and yet still retain a sense of structure and poise.”

Murray Hochman  has painted consistently, from the downtown NYC art scene of the early sixties through the present — immersed in and influenced by cultural trends, the demands of his materials and an abiding interest in experimentation. Over the last six decades he has explored the possibilities of light, color, geometry and gesture.

Joel Longenecker’s “paintings, like landscapes slowly forming and evolving over time are like slabs of earth, cut out and tipped forward...surfaces, first with layers of acrylic paint mixed with crushed coral and then with thick, clay-like oil paint...I want my work to be a catalyst for understanding our delicately balanced ecosystems and inspire a love for nature.”

Paul Marrocco’s work is “nonrepresentational and is all about the interplay between color, form, line, and texture...The viewing experience should be open ended, expansive, and free from preconceived notions.
My process is exploratory, and the outcome is largely unexpected. I try to tap into the myriad of internal and intangible forces operating in the subconscious beneath perception and purposeful thinking.”

Stephen Niccolls  thinks of his “paintings as often having hints of reference, such as still life or landscape or even portrait’ even though they mostly belong to the abstract category, if there is really such a thing.” He also makes paintings “that are ‘things unto themselves’, having little or no outside reference...Most of my work resides in this overlap area.”
