Ellen Wong was born in Brooklyn, New York. As a Studio Arts major at Brooklyn College, she studied painting with Philip Pearlstein and Bob Henry. Most recently she studied painting from life with Jack Faragasso and Dan Dickerson at the Art Students League.

She has been the recipient of numerous grants and recognitions, most notably the NYS Council of the Arts DEC Grant administered by the Roxbury Arts Group and sponsored by the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown, a NEA fellowship, and a teacher/artist residency at Skidmore College.

She is a founding member of the Longyear Gallery, a member of the EBDRPAP, and has had many one woman, and group shows in numerous galleries and venues in upstate New York and New York City. She currently has work showing in Small Works Invitational at the Blue Mountain Gallery in Chelsea, NY, and at the Delaware and Ulster RR in Arkville with the East Branch of the Delaware River Plein Air Painters.

“No man should become an artist who is not passionate about Nature” Camille Corot
For more than 20 years Ellen has been inspired and moved by nature, particularly the Catskill landscape. As a part time resident of Roxbury, she has painted her life and the life around her. “My work is about the land and a sense of place. In my search for inspiration, I now find myself drawn to the places that many of us just move through without stopping to see – a truck stop on the thruway bathed in glorious light after a storm, abandoned industrial buildings telling stories of the working village lives, a neighbors barn at evening milking… I am interested in the intersections between nature and man, the relationships and impositions formed by roads, highways, dams, structures,
Tabletop arrangements, what is found there and what has been brought… After all it is all about relationship and connection. By stopping to observe and see, I become one with my place.
I am not searching for new materials, but rather I am trying to push the expressive qualities of paint and graphite, light, space and color -- to paint my life and maybe you will recognize yours.“

Face of Farming, a multi media exhibit at RAG (July 2009) told the story of a working Catskill landscape, through video, audio, photographs, watercolors and formal oil portraits. It documented five of the last operating dairy farming families in the area, to memorialize the art of working the land and celebrate their commitment to a fast disappearing lifestyle. She is currently co hosting The Farm Hour, a weekly talk show
about local agriculture on WIOX, 91.3 FM.

This year Ellen’s watercolor was chosen for the Open Eye Fundraiser. Raffles are sold throughout their summer season and drawn in the late fall.

Ellen’s work is in many private collections.

ARTIST STATEMENT

CrEaTiViTy, like the universe, is constantly evolving in unexpected ways.
My work as both a visual artist and as a psychotherapist reflects this evolution. My portraits, as well as the rest of my work, are informed and influenced by the interior world of emotion and mood, to which as a psychotherapist, I have privileged access.

Bold color, form, shape, line and texture, as well as raw emotion inspire my interpretation of the human face and form, everyday objects and anything else that attracts my attention. My expressionist work transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Each piece lets me know when it’s complete.

Artist Statement
Art is my university education. It is a way for me to study the time
and world that I live in. I write poetry from solid ground with a clear
voice; the collage element is where I work my ideas into clarity with
experimentation, questioning and guesses. The challenge of poetry and
collage are the same: elaborate a richness for the soul from a simple
form, suppressing everything that is useless.
I come to collage by way of training in mathematics and physics,
a passion for music, a friendship with literature, and a commitment to
philosophy. These interests have a tendency to pull the imagination into
different directions, in collage however, I have found a format in which
these fields of interest can work together to speak for me.
In this body of work I am focused on creating a harmony between
discordant ideas such as calm and movement, straight and curved, odd
and even, limited and unlimited, nature and science, unity and
multiplicity, dark and light. I use classical and modern cubistic forms
which have defined the aesthetics of western culture and I combine
them with a version of Chinese storytelling in which the written word is
formed into visual art. For subjects I choose things which are fragile, but
also impossible to destroy. Fragile because they are quiet, private
moments which are easily missed in our loud, busy lives. Impossible to
destroy, because these sublime moments of clarity have existed since
the beginning of time.
Art is a way for us to seek what moves us. For me, it is things of
simplicity and authenticity. Stories that have an effect of dignity and
elevation. I seek subjects which are impossible to explain, I hold them
close to me, observe them and make art from the atmosphere that they
create. Seek what moves you. Between the one who creates a work of
art and the one who loves it, there is a shared nature and an intimate,
silent understanding. I think it is perhaps the highest form of living,
when we can reach it.

---

Technical Statement
I begin my collages with a poem, or piece of literature. I spend weeks of
time gathering photographs and images from old books that I feel evoke the
mood of the literature. I start by drawing one horizontal line across the entire
piece and one vertical line. This forms four quadrants which I will subdivide into
dozens of smaller quadrants, layering tissue papers and book pages, then
imagery and photographs. The aim is to create a work of art in the same
manner as I think about any story: by tiling images and words; things that I
have found and seen in the world atop things that I imagine. I am following an
architectural design in each piece, a geometrical exactness which gives an
organizing form to the work. I am literally trying to build an idea from the
building blocks of old book paper. I adhere these materials to the wooden
panel using clear acrylic paint. I then draw geometrical lines and circles and
shade them to produce the illusion of three dimensions. I re-incorporate the
original poem which inspired the work back into the piece using an acrylic
transfer technique. Finally, the work is covered in a polymer acrylic varnish
which protects the materials from UV light and preserves them from aging.
People often ask me why I use found imagery; that is paintings and
photographs that I find in books which were created by other artists. I want my
work to be like a conversation that you have in a daydream. Each of the
components have a life of their own, they speak in their own different voices.
Some elements will make sense to the viewer, some elements might be a
mystery. If I had taken all of the photographs myself, and painted all of the
paintings, they would all be speaking in my voice, they would have the same
style. There would be no conversation, but rather a monologue. There would be
no stream of consciousness between the viewer and the materials, there would
be only my intention, my view of the world. As a collage artist I think of myself
like the conductor of an orchestra of musicians and together we are trying to
play at something new and different.

Artist Background
Flowers and gardening have been central to my life. I taught biology at Ithaca High School for thirty-two years and always incorporated these interests into my classroom. My family has been in the landscaping and florist business in the Schenectady area since the late 1800’s, so I grew up with the beauty and smell of flowers. This background has had a tremendous impact upon my life and photography.
While living in Laos, 1965-70, I was first given a bouquet of lotus buds while pregnant with my daughter, Sheryl. Several years ago, I obtained six lotus plants from the Farmer’s Market in Ithaca, NY. Those first plants have multiplied to over 500 plants and now fill the pond behind my home and can be viewed from my studio. The lotus flower, leaves, and pods, and the artistic interpretation of them was the initial focus for my montages.
I take digital photos and then adjust them in Photoshop to achieve abstract montages. The montages were initially primarily of the beautiful lotus flower, but have expanded to include flowers from various gardens encountered during travels. Another extension of the flower montages has been to incorporate non-flower images such as Buddha sculptures as part of the montage.
While taking Photoshop classes, I developed some surrealistic montages that incorporate cathedrals, sculptures, gargoyles, ponds, gardens, the Forbidden City in China, ceramic artists in China, Wenda Gu’s work, and many other objects into the digital canvas. The product is tasteful and unique.
Recent projects have included working with the transparency of layers in Photoshop, while combining the natural landscape and plants with architectural buildings and sculptures. The future is wide open as to subjects and designs. I view this as an evolving project in photography.

Statement 2011

As an Iranian-American woman artist, painting is my way to live, communicate and explore. My life’s journey has been based around making my art for the past thirty years, and it is how I spend my time when I am not teaching or researching art.

My creative process is guided by ritual and the relationships of the formal elements of painting expressed on the surface, with the end goal being a purely meditative, possibly subconscious state of painting, producing work that is intricate, resolved, curious, visually engaging and continues to grow. The forces behind my work are change and experimentation, intuition and an awareness of relationships.

My current “trailscript” paintings evolved from my “Event Paintings” which can be viewed on my website at www.roshanhoushmand.com. They were originally inspired by images of particle trails from bubble chambers from Brookhaven National Laboratory and CERN, which intrigued me after attending a lecture on theoretical physics by Brian Greene, professor of physics at Columbia University in 2005. Many of these early works were featured on BNL’s website for their 60th anniversary in 2007 (http://www.bnl.gov/60th/houshmand.asp) and later in Symmetry and Cosmos science magazines (http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/cms/?pid=1000499).

What began as a study of the movements of charged particles has evolved into an exploration into concepts of chance, change, space and intuition borne from a faith in the ability of the plastic qualities of painting to transform life. These are process paintings because of an aesthetic that has developed through an interpretation of time through color, tone, shape, line and movement via this organic ritual. The idea of visual markings in art being autobiographical codes; each mark created being an event in itself accumulating into a creative process that allows the painting to happen, as a code unravels, without a conscious need to be in control. The concept of multiple layers of paint, hidden and revealed, reflects states of change, in that every event in the visible world is the effect of an "image", as in Plato's notion of idea. Each layer addresses emotion and intellect, markings that correspond with incidents of life experienced, only to be covered by another experience, ritualistic in process, tactile in sense, and visual in perception.

Inasmuch as experiences are unique and cannot be repeated, the relationships of form and content, dark and light, the positive and the negative inspire synchronous progression. The exploration of color and form as a metaphor for emotions, via an organically cumulative process, crystallizes fragmentation into a visual "truth", based on the formal values of western art, and in my case, eastern art and culture. The spiritual acts in mysterious ways, empowering my work with a meaningful sense of soul, and an intelligent sense of coherence.

Statement:

“ It is my deepest desire that we take the time to serve ourselves and each other with beauty, style and grace.
I create pieces that visually evoke a time long ago, or something very familiar.
The tactile nature of my pots speak at once to the fingertips and to human touch.
I do this to connect the innate wisdom and appreciation of beauty that we, as human beings have desired and possessed since the beginning of time, up to the present moment.
My intention is to create utilitarian items with such stunning beauty, that they may stand out as significant and help us to pause in our hurried world to thoroughly enjoy what is in front of us.

Each piece is as individual as the person who uses it is. The time in which we use them is sacred: It is time for a meal shared together and time at home. It is time for the opportunity to connect with our loved-ones and our own beauty, usefulness, individuality and style.”

Artist Statement

I must paint- it is my work and my pleasure. Painting for me is challenging, centering, exhilarating, frustrating and joyous...it is all encompassing.I live in the country, close to nature. My surroundings intially stimulate and inform my imagination...the light, color, spirit and the energy of a moment. I reimagine the natural world with hues more vivid and forms perhaps more fluid than nature's own.

I paint entirely in my small,cozy studio.Sometimes I tone the canvas; other times I prefer the bright white of the primed canvas. I rarely make preliminary sketches, I might have an intention or an image in mind, or I may just start putting colors down until something appears. Because of my fascination with the relationship between colors, I do alot of layering and scraping of paint, staying alert for interesting harmonies. By selection,elimination,and emphasis, I express my inner self through my art.

Annie Hayes
annie@anniehayesrugs.com

Annie spent her childhood in the country near Columbus, Ohio and then in the country near Buffalo, New York, the daughter of a homemaker and an anatomist. As a child, she was fortunate enough to have a continuing menagerie of animals – all pets. They included ponies and horses, a sheep, a goat, chickens, a duck, geese, a rabbit, dogs and cats, and a turtle. She wanted a cow but her parents declined her request. There was never any question about what she wanted to do with her life: she drew all the time, loved making things, and felt most comfortable in art classes at the University.

Annie attended the University of Buffalo for two and a half years, and then transferred to the University of Iowa where she studied drawing, painting, and printmaking. During a brief time away from college, she taught herself weaving. After graduating with a B.F.A., she moved to St. Paul, MN and worked at a variety of jobs, most notably as an artist-in-residence in an NEA/HEW pilot program joining senior citizens with practicing artists. It was a good lesson in naïve art making and finding solutions to the complex task of presenting one’s life in visual terms.

She lived on the Bowery in New York City for nearly fifteen years, working as an artist and as a graphic designer specializing in consulting about and producing courtroom demonstratives. During this time, she made drawings and engravings, some of which were exhibited in two of the NYU Small Works shows.

In 1992, she moved upstate with her family. Living in an old farmhouse, it seemed the historically appropriate thing to do to make one traditional hooked rug. She always assumed it would depict her Black Labrador, but it turned out to be of a rooster standing on a log, which she made and remade, tearing it all out several times as her skills and ideas improved. Her process deepened as she learned to dye wool.

In 2006 she entered a competition to be included in a respected directory of high quality traditional craftspeople – and was accepted. An acquaintance saw her work displayed in a local frame shop and spoke to an editor at the New York Times, who featured her work in the Home & Garden section on Valentine’s Day of 2008. She was accepted into the directory for a second time in 2008. These events created an opportunity for establishing a growing list of clients who frequently commission rugs from her.

In addition to the article in the NY Times, Annie’s work has been featured in periodicals such as Old-House Interiors, Early Homes, and Early American Life.

Annie realizes the potential that making rugs has for personal expression and teaches rug making to students on both a local and national level. Her main focus when teaching is to give her students the tools – technical and aesthetic – to create rugs using their own images.

Presently Annie is working on incorporating Shaker textile techniques into her work.

Artist Statement


With any photo captured by the camera, I believe the eye of the photographer should always be aware of that particular space in time when an unbelievable vision is waiting to be caught. Fragmented moments, an infusion of light, patterns and textures taken from unusual sources, or a passing glance or sudden movement – all are opportunities for a photograph to be taken, made eternal and infinite by the click of a shutter and the image recorded in the lens. Photos are meant to invoke the imagination of the viewer. Some photos are ethereal and other-worldly; others are gritty and stark. If the viewer catches his breath, emits a sigh, or has that contemplative look on her face, the photographer has succeeded in truly capturing the essence of the subject.

Frank Burnap Series #1 - Photograph

---

Barbara Nark is a photographer who grew up on a two family farm in Schoharie County, New York. She started taking photos at the age of five after receiving an Eastman Kodak Brownie as a gift from her parents. Growing up on a farm Barbara gained many skills, namely: mechanics, carpentry, soldering, painting and eventually stone masonry. Each has added a new dimension to her creativity. She also attributes her great appreciation and deep connection to her surroundings from hours spent in the fields. Barbara Nark now resides in Fulton, New York.

Artist statement:

As a photographer my interests are engulfed in and endless number of subjects. Many visuals draw me towards them for numerous reasons. Whether it is light, shadows, color, forms, line, pattern, movement or raw emotion, I am instinctively pulled, inspired and driven.
A large body of my work is of water. Water’s spirit and energy constantly changes allowing for shooting to be continually interesting and the outcome often puzzling. I am also interested in working with extremes, through which depth can be given to otherwise flat images. It brings a new clarity to subjects, thus creating interesting abstracts.
Bringing about the uniqueness in subjects is individual to the artist. Whether it is taking pieces of photos and creating something so far from its original, or capturing a still life with the essence of soul, my creative desire is continually driven by inspiration.
