Participating Artists

DAISY C. ABLE

In my artwork, I mix photography with acrylic paints, drawings, oil pastels, stencils, found objects, and acrylic gels. I assemble photos into collages and onto canvas.

The intent in my work is to depict life where I live as I see it, which frequently includes imagined stories.

 

KIM ADLERMAN

For her art, Kim first paints a watercolor base plate. She then applies varying layers of painted figures along with leaves, dried flowers, stones, fabrics, feathers, and may other materials.

OFRAT GILADY-STEN

I build my artworks from different clay bodies that vary in plasticity, color and firing temperatures. Some of my ceramics are fine art while others are functional. In addition, I explore many styles: some may be considered contemporary while others traditional; I employ different building techniques of hand building as well as using a pottery wheel. In my artworks I combine coils, slabs and weaving, with wheel throwing pots. I also explore glazing, carving and decorating techniques. My work with clay is an ongoing discovery that allows me to be creative and most important enjoyable.

DAVID NICOLATO

Using Alice Kingsley, the quintessential symbol for the troubled child as a catalyst, David’s current body of work evokes a darker, more foreboding side of childhood. Children oftentimes resort to dreams and the imagination as means of escape from fears and demons and David tries to capture these concepts in his art. His paintings and drawings manifest how our children’s lives are not only shaped by what they learn in the home but also by what they see and experience both outside of it and in.
