Emily Somoskey  

Emily’s mixed-media paintings use representational and abstract methods to explore ways we experience  physical and mental space. 

Mana Mehrabian 

Referencing photography and its conceptual and theoretical aspects, Mana creates work that engages the  world of images and reflects on the ideas of perception, identity, power, memory, and the body. 

Ellen Picken 

Ellen’s recent paintings come from dreams and moments in silence. She interprets the behavior of the dream  as a pattern, and the symbols reflect the fluctuating nature of the messages. 

Lena J. Lopez Schindler 

Lena works in a variety of materials and processes, predominantly in 2-D formats using traditional painting and  drawing mediums on paper, referencing news about the US/Mexico border. 

Hannah Koeske 

The painting, Wedding Feast, probes the difficult and sometimes alarmingly transcendent realities of  relationships and family ties that involve the tangle of love, trauma, loss, respect, disrespect, and grace.
