FEATURED ARTISTS
Corinna Nicole
Alabama Chapter
Since 2012, Corinna has been inspired by the natural phenomena of Murmurations, or Starling flock formations. In creating her paintings, she wants to evoke a sense of movement and inspire thoughts around connection and shared experiences. Corinna Nicole received her B.A. in Art at the University of Montevallo in 2008, and in 2011 she completed her M.F.A. in Art Practice at UC Berkeley.
Laura Abrams
Northern California Chapter
My art embraces a varied, colorful aesthetic influenced by intricate patterns, jigsaw puzzles, nature, dance, theater, and jazz. I love shiny surfaces and glitter, while also incorporating found items, evocative photos, and organic materials in multilayered assemblages. Recent art is focused on a series of habitat works, using a variety of evocative materials and drawings to expose the lived realities behind beautiful calendar images.
Ann Pham
Washington DC Area Chapter
Ann’s paintings are abstract and portray progress, struggle, and introspective growth through a variety of subjects that are inspired by her life experiences. Ann’s ultimate goal is to share a deep sense of peace, a spark of reflection, and a renewed appreciation for our journey and existence. As a vegan, Ann’s upcoming projects will focus on advocating for animals. Her two pups have taught her a great deal about our interconnectedness with each other, our planet and all beings.
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.

Art sales didn't just cool off; they bled. The Art Basel & UBS report shows that global sales fell to $57.5 billion, with public auctions down 25%. But here's what they won't say out loud: the rich aren't gone; they're just going underground.
Private sales rose 14%, not because the market is healthy but because high-net-worth collectors are now playing defense.
Meanwhile, Forbes reports the chilling details: crypto CEOs kidnapped, luxury execs murdered, and billionaires ramping up personal security like it's wartime. One French crypto executive's disappearance wasn't just a blip. It sent shockwaves across industries. The ten-million-dollar bids didn't vanish. They just stopped being public. This is the stealth wealth era. "Private sales by auction houses performed strongly in 2024, partially offsetting the decline in public auction sales, with an advance of 14% year-on-year to $4.4 billion."
*Full essay forthcoming.

My "Irish Warrioress" piece at the Littleton show at Arapahoe Community College closed today #womenscaucusforart
Last night I sent off this enhanced plein air oil paint monotype (made with a gcpalmpress) and a plein air oil painting to be delivered to Hancock, NH, for a show sponsored by the NH chapter of the Women`s Caucus for Art. The opening party is on August 12 from 5-7pm at the Harris Center for Conservation in Hancock. A group of us painted there a few weeks back specifically for this exhibit. Thank you Cristina Hajosy (hajosyarts) for getting me involved and doing the delivery today.

Bert Leveille and I collaborated on this logo. Again, it is open to all men, women, and transgender individuals in the Midwest.
