Cold wax and acrylic on cradled wood 24” x 24 x 1.5” $950

Much of her work is abstracted from her personal environment and most often conveys a sense of joy. She brings to her paintings her life experiences as a wife, mother, yogi and graphic designer.

HENRY BOSAK Tenuous Grip (2020) Acrylic 20” x 16” x1.75” $1600

Art has always been a big part of my life as far back as I can remember. The way I looks at it, I was always going to do something art related, there was no plan B. As a graphic designer, I have worked in the print industry for years.

Although my graphic design work is mostly done digitally, my real love is to work with pencil and paper or paint and brush. Painting is something that I have always enjoyed doing and recently I have dedicated myself (and quite a few canvases), to strengthen my painting skills.

I hope to keep painting and doing art for as long as I can pick up a pencil or brush.

After all…there is no plan B!

VICTORIA CURRENS Four years ago, I moved to Arizona from California, where I had lived for many years. This was a long-time desire and living here has exceeded my dreams. For over 30 years, I had the pleasure of owning my own interior architecture and design firm.

We were listed as one of the Top 200 Firms in the USA for many years. It was a joy and creative challenge to design large scale projects, including small hotels and clubhouses. This is a special time in my life. I finally get to do what I have always wanted to do, paint! Painting is so very meaningful to me. I have always wanted to be an artist. It has been an extremely long wait, but so worth it! I attend Scottsdale Artist School and love the opportunity to work with other artists.

I savor expanding my horizons and developing my skills.

The artist in him could not be silenced however, and after several successful years working as an engineer for a renown military industrial contractor, he decided to forego engineering altogether to chase his dream career as an artist and craftsman.

CHARITH DENSON Refugees (2018)

Growing up in a highly creative family I first began exploring through photography and storytelling.

After meeting my now-husband, I began to incorporate acrylic and mixed media into my expressions as I learned from him. Together we attended an international art residency in India where my artistic works became fully formed for the first time and led me on a long term series focused on exploring identity.

MICHAEL DENSON Self-portrait of a black artist in 2020 (2020) Mixed media on canvas 60” x 48” x 1.5” Diptych (2 separate 30” x 48” x 1.5” canvas panels) $5900

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan where my father was a minister and mother, an artist. As a child, I attended night classes with my mother, who decided to continue her education in art in the early ’90s. This early exposure to art naturally led to an undergrad study at the College of Santa Fe, where in 2006 I received a BA in photography. Though a photographer by trade, my true passion lies in large scale painting and mixed media. Taking the impression of abstract and often marrying it with the emotive human figure, my works are created to be “conversation pieces,” provoking many avenues of story. Continually seeking to bring the viewer into the storyline of my work, recently I began exploring installation art. With everything I create, I ask myself the question, “how do I keep the viewer looking, thinking and questioning?”

Recently, he has gone back to school to learn traditional techniques and refine his artistic abilities. His latest series incorporates collage and ready-made items as sculptural elements.

Influenced by Professor Liz Cohen, Isabel aggressively cropped and reframed her images. Appropriating her own archive of sports images, she shifts the narrative of sports to that of the body. “Body Collages” showcased in “Retrospection,” her senior exhibition at ASU, “Winter Undergraduate Juried Exhibition” and is featured in “Mirabella Exhibition” this year.

ARYANA B. LONDIR Living Life (2019) Fiber (cotton) 37” x 24” x .5” $2100

Growing up in a rural area of Connecticut, I felt solace in the natural environs of wooded areas, observing how things grew, changed and evolved; how brilliantly the sun shone, how lucid the colors of nature are, and how rapidly a day was able to evolve from dry to wet, grey to bright sky. My childhood travels to New York City with family exposed me to a different world of geometric shapes in the massive buildings of the city skyline; in the space of my imagination I combine the two contrasting ideologies. I express the distinction between organic and industrial by the vivid use of color and texture. Line and color are the main design elements utilized to construct my imagery. I work in the abstract by choice, allowing the viewer to evoke their own personal experiences and emotions.

JOSH LOUCHHEIM A Child in Awe (Return of the Return of the Long Billed Nort) (2020)

Oil on panel 48” x 36” x 1” $6000

I was born in Granite City, Illinois on August 19, 1982. A couple years later my family packed our lives into an RV and drove out to Arizona where I have lived for the majority of my life. I graduated from Arcadia high School in 2001. Shorty after graduating I ventured out to California where I gypsied around for a couple years before deciding to head back to the desert.

Once back in Arizona I made the decision to dedicate my life to art and I began to put together a band, learning how to sing and blending my words with music. We performed our original songs in venues throughout the valley for a couple years but later disbanded. And that is when I decided to try my hand at painting. I have continued to paint for the past 10 years.

VIVIENNE LUX Soar Skybound (2018)

Colored pencil, acrylic, Swarovski crystals and OEM pigment inks on archival grade, poly-cotton blend canvas 40” x 40” $4500

My work is all about words. I’ve been fascinated with lettering and words since I was a child and believe that words hold power. My abstract lettering works of interlaced words, textures and swirls are created with colored pencil on black paper. The pieces are hypnotic word-searches that vibrate with raw emotion and an almost musical rhythm. I prefer working in my outdoor studio during the Arizona summers which allows the pencils to gently soften and the words to flow through me, possibly from the delirium of the intense desert heat. The works are then printed on canvas where I paint an additional design in glow-in-the-dark acrylic over the work and embellish the piece with diamond dust and Swarovski crystals, or onto fabric to create custom fashion designs that have been worn to events such as the Grammy Awards.

Born and raised in the city woods of Maryland, Kris moved to Phoenix after graduating from the University of MD and began her career in Graphic Design. After several years designing, she returned to school to study sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art, where she also gave birth to a daughter. Kris returned to Phoenix and continued to cast metal in her foundry. However, this became untenable with a little one, and she shifted to painting as a way to process the mounting chaos (twins) and the upheaval of identity surrounding motherhood.

She experimented sculpturally with materials found in her home and produced a solo show where she adapted these materials as a means to live harmoniously with her environment. Her paintings blur the boundaries between portraiture and narrative, where she addresses social issues, family and the environment.

Artist Elissa Nowacki enjoys adolescent humor, paranormal romance, 80’s punk rock and commandeering her family’s kitchen to paint. When she isn’t acting as Assistant Principal for a K-8 school in Phoenix, you can likely find her in tacky pajamas, using art as meditation from the stressors of adulting. Her formal art education is practically nonexistent.

In the early 90s, as a pre-architecture student, she took freehand perspective and water color classes at Arizona State University. Then, in the spring of 2004, she and her exceptionally tolerant husband enrolled in an evening painting class, at Phoenix College, which they fondly refer to as “marriage counseling.” Elissa’s family is checkered with eccentric artist types, her mother for one, who she credits most of her artistic education to. Elissa is inspired by flowers, skulls, family pets and eye-catching patterns. Elissa finds joy in bold colors, tight line patterns and thick paint.

GUSTAVO RAMOS

Longing (2019)

Gustavo Ramos is a Brazilian-born artist who moved to Arizona at the age of 15. The change was startling for the teenager, who didn’t know any English at the time. “I had to depend a lot on observing body language when trying to communicate” Ramos recalls now, a decade later. It proved to be a seminal time for the budding artist, whose careful observations of people’s expressions, gesticulations and postures motivated him to depict the figure in pencil. “It gave me an edge in capturing those subtle bodily gestures that tell a story,” he says. Ramos’ recent paintings explore storytelling techniques that convey more than just someone’s likeness. For guidance, he often studies Rembrandt’s evocative portraits. “Rembrandt created the sense of a real person who had real experiences,” says Ramos.

“That’s something I try to do with my work.”

I am always motivated to create portraits, figures, still lives, cast drawings and paintings.

I often find myself fascinated with traditional works of art which has led me to learn more traditional techniques. Although my work is influenced by traditional art, I also incorporate my own style. I find myself comfortable using oil paints and charcoal which are ideal mediums for my subjects. I have been interested in painting and drawing since I was a child. Following my passion, I started to research materials and began to learn by myself through experience. After high school I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, to follow my art studies at Arizona State University where I learned many helpful techniques. After graduating from ASU I decided to continue my art career in Florence, Italy where I learned more traditional methods. At the moment, I make collections of paintings and I make commissions for clients.

21st Annual Juried Exhibition

GEORGE STRASBURGER The Envelope (2019) Oil on linen 42” x 60” $7200

George Strasburger was born and raised in a working class neighborhood in Scranton, PA. His first artistic influences were the murals in the Catholic Church he attended as a child, admiring and studying the stories and anatomy. Strasburger has a classical approach. His large-scale oil paintings begin with drawings, which make visual for him the finished work in his mind’s eye. His thoughtful compositions, and a combination of loose and tight brushwork serve the scenarios he creates.

Strasburger’s paintings are his “take” on the human condition, focusing on the common and the good. His characters often perform tasks or engage in activities that to him depict an act or a need that is elemental. He values beauty and he reveals existential truth. He currently lives and paints full time in Tucson AZ.
