Rebecca Low - She Creates What She Sees
Rebecca's art is very diverse. She creates what she sees. When Rebecca looks at, what
many people call junk, she may see all kinds of things - it's very much like seeing
faces or objects or landscapes in the clouds. Empty space is filled when Rebecca sees
it. Then she either takes found objects, or raw metal, or both and often combines them
with paint, water, rock, glass, fire or any other material to help her create her
vision. Rebecca's attempt is not to try and control - but to let the visions and
materials control themselves, her work and her. Most of Rebecca's art is just for fun and
rarely philosophical. It tends to either appear off balance (a little like the artist) or
it has motion or both. Rebecca will often use wind, water and/or fire to enhance her
sculptures.

Julie Lazarus - Acqua Alta
Most of my new work is a result of my travels to Italy over the past seven years. My
observations of the amazing light reflected off the water and buildings of Venice and
Murano has been an inspiration for my work. My newest works, however, are inspired by
the intriguing floral growth of the trumpet vines and the grapevines that grow in
abundance throughout Venice, and by the tree limbs that appear to frame the vistas
of the landscape. During my visits to the Veneto, I sit beneath the arbors, surrounded
by the flowering vines and sketch my surroundings. These influences become the shapes
and colors for my paintings and for my blown glass produced during my visits to Murano.

Sharon Grimes - Consciousness
Sharon Grimes of Longview, TX, is a self-taught contemporary abstract artist whose art is
expressed with vivid colors and vibrant energy in all of its textures and layers.
The thoughts and awarenesses that I have while working are always interesting to me.
Sometimes the act of painting reaches deep into my soul and prompts me to think of things
that I wouldn't normally give a lot of thought. As I worked on this piece I started to
feel enveloped and warmed by it. I used the lines to indicate different levels of awareness,
building up to a crescendo of light. When I started to become conscious of the light, I
wondered if the awarenesses that I develop are limited to humans or if the earth itself
is aware, in much the same way that we are.

Ariel Davis - Artist, Gallery Manager, Arts Organizer, And Curator
Ariel Davis is an artist living and working in Fort Worth, Texas. Her work reflects on
humanity, relationships, and time, in the form of stylized figurative paintings. In her
work you can find the idea of relationships at the core, that play with symbolism in
telling a story. In preparation of creating a painting, she employs the process of
photography, collage, and digital manipulation to create a unique source image, or she
works from life. Many times she will engage individuals in the community to collaborate
with her as subjects in her work. Capturing and portraying the energy and mood of a scene,
group or individual is more important then the details, which is defined by her loose
style and use of bold color.

Ken O'Toole - Tend My Garden
Ken O'Toole's recent newsletter arrived with a wonderful story of he and his wife
embarking on a project to beautify their front yard: "This joint effort was initiated to
solve a problem; an eyesore that was as painful to walk through as it was to look at. We
really did not expect the additional resulting benefits of improved health from working
outdoors everyday and the superior nutrition we discovered in leaves of the decorative
sweet potatoes we planted. But, the foremost result we realized as one by one our neighbors
made a point of stopping by while we worked in the garden to compliment our efforts. We
heard words like 'beautiful,' 'creative,' 'vision,' and most often 'INSPIRING.'"

Nine Marking Time paintings can be seen at Crittenden the Studio 299-101 St. Louis Ave.,

at 917-514-9715 to ask when you can see the art. Call me at 817 832 6952 and I will meet
you there if I can. Do artist brains work differently? I don't think so, but I one have
experience with the one brain. A psychiatrist friend of mine disagrees. She tells me I
see the world in a unique way. As an experiment, join me for a walk through of the
coalescence of my painting series, Marking Time.
