 Mark Lavatelli
Mark Lavatelli's new works on wood are a unique combination of realism and abstraction, and continue his use of his popular autumn forest imagery. The artist's exaggerated colors and unusual points of view distort our expectations of nature. Lavatelli has shown his work prolifically throughout Texas and New York, including the well-known Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, and his work belongs to the corporate collections of Pepsico, Nieman-Marcus, IBM and ARCO.

Rebecca Jacob
In her new work, Rebecca Jacob continues what began as a love for coffee. The artist's images are all derived from scenes at the breakfast table and American coffee-culture. Cups filled with black coffee, toast and abundant tables of fruits and jellies are subjects of these tantalizing paintings. Jacob studied at the Moore College of Art and Design and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her work belongs to the corporate collections of Krups North America, the New England Coffee Company, Coffee Time and Espresso Plus. |

Bob Jacobs
California artist Bob Jacobs uses an inventive, pain-staking technique to create his vibrant acrylic paintings. Cats and flowers are rendered in mosaic-like compositions, which he creates by repeatedly taping off and painting one area at a time. Jacobs studied at DeAuza College and San Jose State College.

Rosalind Webb
Rosalind Webb's realistic works are reminiscent of the home and the hand-made, with depictions of quilts, baskets and fruit. Her more abstract works are called "tapestries" in which she repeats a foliage or floral pattern in a monochromatic palette. Webb has exhibited in New York and Miami, and her work belongs to the corporate collections of the Hyatt and State Farm Insurance.

 Gloria Trachtenberg
Gloria Trachtenberg views her paintings as reveries of serene moments, "private places of peace and pleasure." The artist honors the early twentieth-century masters with her brushy, impressionist style. Accumulated strokes of color become pictures of winding paths and lakes. Trachtenberg received her M.A. from New York University and has studied at the School of Visual Arts, the Art Student's League, Pratt Institute and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

 Toby Goldman
Toby Goldman's portfolio of floral still lifes has evolved from a life-long interest in flowers, especially those grown in a local garden. Sunflowers, peonies and cosmos are a few of the artist's favorite blossoms. Goldman studied at Barnard College and the National Academy of Fine Arts, and her work has been shown in several solo exhibitions in New York and Pennsylvania.
