 Dorothy Stewart
For Dorothy Stewart, abstraction is the key mode of visual communication. "Today, we are so attuned to non-objective art that we are geared to looking not for meaning in the recognizable, but reading feeling, and then making associations with what the abstract artist has set down." Brightly colored shapes and lines are arranged in ambiguous compositions to elicit personal responses from viewers. Stewart studied at Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She has exhibited her work throughout New York. |

 Joy Walker
"Growing up on a daffodil farm in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by hills of color always seemed to me to be a major reason I became a painter." Color is precisely what makes Walker's paintings spectacular, in addition to her strong, simple lines. Walker studied at the New York Studio School, Columbia University and at France's Sorbonne. Her work belongs to the collections of J.P. Morgan, Citibank, Chase Bank and the Mint Museum of Art.

 Jesse Algeron Rhines
Jesse Algeron Rhines' photographs convey a contemporary world of varying lives and cultures, from homeowners in Martinique to the temples of Hong Kong. "This exhibit recaptures a childlike naiveté by ignoring political difference and reveling in the breadth of our planet's human cultural variety." Rhines received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, and has exhibited his work in New York and Connecticut.
