A biography and gallery of each of our artists can be seen below.

Hector Cardenas
After completing a series of surrealist paintings to “empower imagination by honoring fantasy,” Hector sought the source of creativity with these exquisite abstract paintings.

Kip Frace
Compared to cubists for his use of geometry, Kip's work combines various Modernist styles and Pop's subject matter to communicate an optimistic postmodern perspective. As an official artist of the U.N. decade, his painting, “Evolution” is a particularly powerful metaphor because it gives the viewer a choice, Is our current relationship with the world spiraling downward or upward?

Ann Fraser
A graduate from Bard College in Comparative Literature, blends artistic subject matter and genres from across the canon of art history. She appropriates subject matter from illuminated manuscripts in a style reminiscent of 20 th century French Simultaneity or abstraction in powerful works on paper.

Marie Gerodez
Marie-Ange Gerodez paints outdoors, setting up her easel in the very scenes that fill her tiny studio with warmth and color: fields of poppies, lavender and sunflowers, old farmhouses, and village homes bedecked with trailing roses and morning glories.

Alexis Portilla
Alexis Portilla, a NYC native who still resides and paints in his favorite city, explains his goal is to explore atmosphere, color, line, composition and the symbol through rich abstract canvases.

Olegi Osepaishvili
This collection of paintings showcase Osepa's ability to render nostalgic, abstracted portraits with a whimsical sense of humor. His subjects pose in front of abstracted landscapes or linger in minimal settings. Osepa's characters interact with one another and the viewer through playful glances and quiet smiles. He paints a simpler time defined by its community and family.

Gang Qian
Recently juried into a group show at the Edward Hopper Museum in Nyack , NY , Gang Qian is an expressive realist painter. One of his main themes is twentieth century urban landscapes which many find evocative of Edward Hopper. He paints signs of life, not just starkness. The facades in Qian's work are never blank: they are filled with graffiti or textured with commercial billboards. In these works, Qian uses a precise technique employing rich visual layers that invoke a very personal response to life in New York City . –Jeanne Marie Gilbert
