 Hellin Kay
Russian artist Hellin Kay tells the stories of the personalities she captures in her contemporary photographs of Russian society in St. Petersburg and Moscow. It is her method of retracing her life, as she sees herself and her family in the faces of her community. “I am constantly aware of my need to recapture the memories that I have lost. This is my purpose. This is the language of my work: to find what I have lost.” Kay received both her MFA and BFA from Bard College.

Jan Velayas
Jan Velayas’ new landscape paintings continue her exploration of light and color in the mystical landscapes of Texas, but also venture eastward to the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and to flowers on the West Coast of the United States. Violet horizons and cobalt blue mountains reveal her continued celebration of color. Velayas studied at the University of Texas in San Antonio and has been exhibiting locally since 1998.

Bryan Hillstrom
Bryan Hillstrom’s new abstract paintings on paper were inspired by the similar tumultuousness of water and war. The artist’s frenzied strokes of color imply and illustrate the excitement behind a moving body of water and raging battle. Hillstrom received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and has exhibited his work in New York and California.

works on paper and canvas unique. Her watercolor mosaics and woven landscapes of sailboats, flower fields and
fish tanks blend the intricacy of craft with the expressiveness
of painting. Brickner studied at Sarah Lawrence College and is part of

 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 to
reading feeling and then making associations with what the abstract artist
has set down." Her paintings of brightly colored shapes and lines are arranged in ambiguous compositions that often hint slightly of landscape.
Stewart studied at Tufts University and at The School of the Museum of Fine
Arts in Boston. She has exhibited her work throughout New York.
