Armen Yepoyan
Armenian artist Armen Yepoyan is "trying to comprehend the essence of man's existence" through his gestural, abstract paintings. Human mortality and Earth's natural inspirations are signified in the artist's layered marks. "I proceed from my initial impressions, to a better understanding, and finally an appreciation of my contacts and relationships with nature in general." Yepoyan received his Masters at the Architectural University of Yeveran in Armenia, and his work belongs to the collections of ANINAR Ventures Group, Life Technologies, Inc. and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia.

Karl Soderlund
Karl Soderlund's new paintings add international flavor to his portfolio of nautical and beach scenes and portraits of life at the Connecticut and New England shores. Boats, harbors and waterfront porches convey the serenity of coastal living. The artist's new subjects bear the likeness of Parisian cafes and canals on the Island of Burano. Soderlund studied painting at the New York Studio School and the Silvermine School of Art. He has exhibited his work in Connecticut and New York.

Reiko Waguri
Dried flowers and beeswax are just two of the unique materials that Japanese artist Reiko Waguri applies to her works on paper. Newspaper is also a key element in the artist's production. "I express myself by looking into my inner world through the outer world." Waguri studied at the Musashino Art University in Japan and at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

 Mark McKinney
Autobiographical images of people and places are at the core of Mark McKinney's decorative abstractions. Opulent in color and pattern, the surface of each work requires a closer look to find hidden imagery and glimpses of reality. "I start with figurative images and then add layer after layer of decorative patterns and shapes, until the painting takes on a semi-abstracted look." McKinney studied at Drew University and has exhibited his work throughout the United States, including a commission at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York.

 Robert Hendrickson
Robert Hendrickson does his best work on the roof. The suburban environment surrounding the artist's New Jersey studio inspires his realistic renderings of buildings, diners and studios. By focusing on what is seemingly banal, McKinney transforms these locations into thought-provoking tableaus. Hendrickson studied at the New York Studio School, the Chautauqua Institution and at American University, and has exhibited his work in New York and New Jersey.
