By embracing the artifacts and imperfections of this process, he creates a series of photographs that are equally as damaged as the individuals that sit in front of his camera.
Meghan brady
Paintings | Prints
Meghan makes bold and emphatic art that nudges painting towards the realm of sculpture and installation. Her images freely reference ceramic vessels, the human form, her daughters’ drawings and American crafts. The scale of her pieces generates a direct conversation with the site in which they were created and also the one in which they are ultimately viewed. Meghan’s works are physical and bold, yet contain a spirit that sidesteps many of the trappings of monumental art.

J0dy solow
Painter
Speaking in words of color… The colors I often ‘speak’ with are those from memories of years spent underwater studying whales and dolphins, and from work in tropical forests and the Sahara: sea blues, forest greens and warm desert hues. I am captivated by the rainbow of light that fractures the world into constantly changing tones and shapes, and grateful that painting frees me from the constraints of verbal thought, offering a healing space where I can speak in words of color.
