Lynn Carlson
About
I enjoy making art that is a bit quirky in theme or materials.
Some of my work is realistic & some abstract.
Animals & nature are often the subjects of & inspiration for my art.
I work in many different mediums----painting, photography, mixed media & clay
I sometimes like transforming my artwork from one medium into another and,
in so doing, make it more accessible and often radically different in a visual sense.
My two Pining Heart works below are an example of this.

Eric Chiang
About
Eric grew up in Taiwan. He studied classical music composition and visual art in his youth, aspired to become an artist. However, he did not get to become one until 32 years later. In 2007, he quit his job as a senior technology manager from Wall Street after his 50th birthday so he could create art full time to fulfill his childhood dream of creating artwork that touch people’s heart. Ever since, his artwork have been exhibited in National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan, Queens Museum in New York, Westport Arts Center (Group Shows and SOLOs show), Flushing Town Hall Gallery in New York, Beechwood Arts, and many other venues and communities in Connecticut and New York.
In addition to his creating arts that express his empathy of panhuman loneliness, desperation, love, connections, and hope, he is very active in organizations that enhance the connections among individual artists and between artists and communities.
Artist Statement
My mission is: Create artwork that (1) explore the meaning and significance of our existence and (2) express my profound empathy of panhuman desperation, love, connections, and hope.
On whatever theme I choose to explore, I look to create a body of work that exposes multiple perspectives of that theme using the approaches most suitable. This could mean anything in the spectrum – be it photorealism, abstract (expressionism), minimalism, etc. To me, the styles serve to achieve the theme I want to convey.
When I was a teenager, every time I felt desperate or depressed, I turned to Beethoven’s music for encouragement and inspiration. “Had Beethoven not published his music, which witnessed his suffering, struggle, and determination to thrive, this little boy (me) who lives 200 years later and 10,000 miles away would not have gotten encouraged and inspired to live on and thrive. And now I want to do the same using my art!” Thus, creating artworks that resonate with people for their desperation, love, inspiration, and hope has been the goal of my life as an artist.

Artist Statement
My work emerges from a conviction that in this current cultural moment art must reclaim the sublime. There is a need for a revelation of the beauty and hope that coexists within darkness. Without the display of darkness we lose the significance and point of a redemptive story; and without the hope we collapse into nihilism. The abstract landscape like works I create; though treacherous and seemingly unforgiving are ment to invite a longer look, a straining to hear whispers of something more that are hidden within them. They invitation to exploration of a realm beyond the one you sit in, something organic, natural, and full of the bewildering spirit of life.
