Danny Glass

Art is my language. It is how I communicate my deepest thoughts and emotions. Amongst the beauty and love I witness daily, there's also a stark contrast of suffering: poverty juxtaposed with affluence, societal divisions, and pervasive fear. Through my work, I seek to illuminate the enduring power of love and human dignity, urging viewers to see beyond the grotesque and embrace the inherent beauty within themselves and others”
 
Danny Glass is an American contemporary artist whose work delves into the truths of today's world through people, space, and color. A graduate of Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program, Glass furthered his education with a Master's degree in Art Business from the Sotheby's Institute of Art in NYC.

Lori Pratico

"I have never painted a self-portrait yet all of my paintings reveal exactly who I am, where I’ve come from and who I strive to be. 
 
In my life I’ve never really been interested in the aesthetic of things. I won’t notice the color of a room, or what you were wearing when I ran into you, but I will always notice the energy of a space and the unspoken emotions you were holding in that space. My focus is on producing something that expresses and communicates those emotions, peeling back the layers and revealing something that is not so obvious on the surface. I often include words in my paintings. Lettering was the only art form I was formally taught and I use it to anchor my work and make my message more broadly heard and recognized."

Stacy Daugherty

Immersing in the outdoors encourages opportunities for self-reflection, renewal, and revelation. Nature and wildlife provide an abundance of subject matter that consistently inspires and fuels my creative process. Through abstract forms and hues found in the environment, I discover the symbolization of our physical and spiritual realms and how they intersect. Interpreting this view with photography, I use a macro lens to present my subjects larger than life while revealing intricate details, textures, and movement.  
 
My artistic process involves pretending I am a very small, teeny tiny version of myself sitting on the flower or piece of nature I am photographing. How would the world look from that view? Doing this enables me to shift perspective and be enveloped by the scene unfolding in front of me through the lens. Time slows down and I continue to shoot in a sort of meditative state. The essence, or vibration of the subject is coming through, and it’s my job to stay open, receive communication, and translate this ethereal language. Artwork is birthed, named, and produced based on the feelings, energy and subtle messaging that were experienced at the time the images were taken as well as during post processing.​

I hope that they will delight the viewer’s senses and enlighten their mind, bringing them great enjoyment”. 

Picture
 Harriet Silverstein
I am inspired by natural color and light in the ways they define visual form, texture, and physical atmosphere. As I literally build a visual surface, I am inspired by the physical and intellectual act of manipulating colored paint and drawing media. This intensely direct visceral process allows me to see what develops organically. Color and the sensual material quality of art media have always fascinated me for the visual translation they create.
