Patricia Quirk’s work is characterized by a bold abstraction of landscapes and seascapes, capturing the essence and emotion of her subjects through vibrant colors and fluid forms. Brianne Valentino’s paintings are a reflection of her fascination with color and texture. By building upon layers in her paintings, she aims to create a three-dimensional experience that invites the viewer to explore the painting from different angles. Inspired by the food in his kitchen, Bill Wurtzer creates whimsical and imaginative food art. His mushroom series are also featured in his book FUNGI, Mushroom Art Like Nothing On Earth. Using Korean “hanji” and mother of pearl, INYoung Park explores themes of tradition and modernity while also looking at Eastern and Western influences. By blending these influences, she hopes to spark dialogue about cultural diversity through her work. Vibrancy and energy are no strangers to Vincent Priblo’s work heavily inspired by Abstract Expressionism. As the late artist wrote, “I use art as a way to express my inner joy and love of life – as well as its ambiguities and mysteries.”
