FEATURED ARTISTS

Giliane Bader
Southern California Chapter
My work, created with many layers of acrylic paint and occasional collage, comes from a place of joy. My sensitivity to nature along with meditation practices are my source of inspiration. I work with acrylic paints, graphite, collage, painted papers, on several paintings at a time. When in the studio, I am fully engaged in a process of exploration, with an increasing focus on color. Feeling alive and present is what art is all about for me.

Monica J. Brown
Chicago Chapter
Monica J. Brown explores memory, history and personal mythology through visual art, sound, movement, writing and performance. Her visual art has been exhibited widely throughout Chicago, nationally and internationally. Monica is a Ucross fellow, and has attended residencies at Atlantic Center for the Arts, Ragdale, and Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, among others. She has received Individual Artist Program grants from Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and Individual Artist Support grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

Shara Osgood
Massachusetts Chapter
I consider my work as Fantastic Realism. I work in the mischtechnik style of the old masters, painting many layers and glazes to achieve an ethereal feeling. I paint between the lines, often making the unseen visible and palpable. Through my art, I express my love, appreciation and connection to animals, the natural world & the Great Mystery. I paint my prayers for a more compassionate and sustainable future. I hope to elicit joy and wonder in the viewer and myself.

Suzanne Benton
Florida Chapter
Suzanne Benton stands as a singular voice in the canon of feminist art, whose six-decade career has reshaped the cultural and symbolic dimensions of the mask and its performative possibilities. A native New Yorker and Jewish artist of deep conviction, Benton merges visual practice with activism, harnessing the mask—an ancient and cross-cultural symbol—as both artifact and agent of feminist expression.

Annette Coleman
Colorado Chapter
Annette’s work is firmly rooted in nature and all the biodiversity of our planet and those imagined beyond our own. Fire, water, wind, and air are expressed in abstracted forms. Childhood memories find their way into aspects of her iconic sculptures and installations often starting out as paper cutouts harking back to innocence and joy. Celebrated in all her work are the bold, engaging, bright and sparkling colors of the world.

Lorraine Capparell
Peninsula Chapter
I make artwork on a daily basis, a vital part of my artistic discipline. This daily output has inspired large-scale works and material for solo painting exhibits. Painting every day has led me to ideas, new sculpture, better painting skills and to looking more deeply at the world, I create monthly themes with a list of titles or prompts for each day’s painting. This helps me to hone my abilities and to suspend “the judge”, enabling my creative mind to roam freely.

Melonie Mulkey
Indiana Chapter
Inspired by architecture, film, and theater, creating diorama sets for the camera has been the focus of her artistic practice for over ten years. She builds elaborate miniature sets which serve as metaphors for the interior self, then photographs them using dramatic lighting to mediate the constructed physical space into an image. Many textual references in her work address themes of the soul, the hidden self, and a personal longing for the divine.
