Lynne Friedman

The artist explores "color relationships and form as well as qualities of light to express inner states of being, memories, associations, and responses to the external visible world." Friedman earned a masters of fine arts from Queens College and has exhibited her work throughout New York State.

Christina Rohrer
In the traditions of Georges Seurat and Josef Albers, Christina Roche's work focuses on the optical qualities of color - the human eye's response to interactions of disparate color marks in oscillating patterns. "Distance and movement not only create color shifts within these works, but changes in perception as well. From a distance the individual colors lose their identity; hues are seen in the mid-range and these, then coalesce to form the geometric imagery". Rohrer earned a PhD from Harvard University and has exhibited her work in New York and Connecticut.

Barbara Zietchick
Barbara Zietchick works in an expressionistic style, using bright colors and interrelated shapes to depict memories and impressions of her travels around the world. Her monotypes often depict fantasy animals in imaginative, fanciful poses. She creates flowers, which are colorful and subtle, celebrating their own beauty and individuality. For Barbara, the rich use of color and mood-evoking color relationships are the language of her art. Zietchick received her B.A. degree from Hunter College, and graduate degrees from Wagner College and Richmond College, Staten Island, New York and has exhibited her work in New York and New Jersey.
