I prefer analog black and white photography to digital technique along with hand processing of my film to bring out the interplay of light, shadow, texture, and design. My present project was inspired by a book written by Seneca Ray Stoddard in 1873 titled Old Times in The Adirondacks. That summer, he traveled by carriage, steamer, canoe, and on foot to document the natural beauty as well as the industrial changes occurring in what is now the Adirondack Park.

My subject matter is the realms of nature, large and small, in my favorite part of the world. My photographs can be seen at the website flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/184470005@N02/

Art Educator, artist, public art advocate, children’s book author. “For my entire career, it has been my goal to paint like a child. My painting, printmaking, and paper sculpture are also influenced by the art of children and the traditional folk art of my home in the Adirondacks and from my travels throughout Mexico and Costa Rica. I hope that my work makes people smile.”

Karen Parker is a scientist and bead artist currently living in upstate New York. Saddened by a lack of colors and textures in her molecular work, Karen began quilting. This evolved into a love of bead weaving and the creation of beaded insect jewelry, inspired by her husband's entomological interests and a recent position at the University of Vermont.

My paintings are a studio generated recall of natural landscapes having a degree of abstraction and open to interpretation. They suggest moods and feelings of water, land, foliage and sky. Many are studies for larger works but complete images in themselves. www.wmc-art.com

I was introduced to printmaking in college under the direction of Fritz Janschka, an Austrian artist and founding member of Fantastic Realism. At the same time I studied painting and collage with Miriam Schapiro, a leader in the Pattern and Decoration movement. This early educational experience inspired a lifetime of creating content in overlapping layers: as an editorial cartoonist, TV journalist, educational publisher and product developer. My professional life has been dominated by digital art and media where building layers of meaning is done on a computer screen.
Meanwhile, my artwork has focused on a more tactile screen: silkscreen. I am captivated by pushing ink through a screen and then another and another, layer after layer, to build an image with meaning. I love the immediacy of it, the vibrancy of acrylic ink colors, the versatility of techniques. I also like the silkscreen process because it’s environmentally friendly and without dangerous chemicals.
