FEATURED ARTISTS
Donna Catanzaro
Lifetime Member
Donna creates pieces to amuse and inspire herself and the viewer: including her political, ironic and funny digital collages, her mixed media pieces made from her trash, and her humorous pop-up books. She lives with her wife in NH, taught Graphic Design for many years, and has an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Goddard College.
Abby Spangel Perry
Carolinas Chapter
The work Abby Spangel Perry creates focuses on our often difficult relationship with the environment and its smaller components. Her award-winning paintings, drawings, textiles, and found objects have been shown from Washington State to New York State.
Afi Ese
Texas Chapter
Afi Ese is a Black American figurative narrative artist living in Houston, Texas. She holds a master of science in forensic psychology with a concentration in art therapy. Ese’s work focuses on Black urban portraiture juxtaposed with African diasporic history. Her paintings are conceptualized narratives of the African plight through the eyes of a self-aware Black American.
Melissa Reischman
Southern California Chapter
Melissa Reischman was born in Portland, OR. She studied graphic design at the Colorado Institute of Art earning an AA degree. She now lives and works in Los Angeles. While she was working as a designer, she followed the urge to pursue her own artistic vision. She studied painting with Richard Bunkhall and Ray Turner at Art Center College of Design, and Art History at Glendale College. She is now focusing full time on her art.
Christina Sears
Michigan Chapter
CM Sears is an essayist, poet, fiction writer, and interdisciplinary artist. CM graduated with a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI, returning to school after a long career as a professional dancer. Recent publications of their prose can be found in the American Book Review, The Hare’s Paw Literary Journal, Isele Magazine, and elsewhere. Visual artworks have been presented in juried shows in Ann Arbor, Chicago, Detroit, South Bend and Ypsilanti.
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.

Respect, Collaboration and Representation
Respect and collaboration can be surprisingly complicated and time-consuming. A case in point is the Jones Family mural in Marcellus, MI. A year ago I accepted a commission to redo the mural that depicted a family story, including “Chief Pokamon” wearing buckskin and holding a spear.

The New Hampshire Chapter of the Women`s Caucus for Art is sponsoring a Northeast Regional Juried Exhibition, Seen and Heard, in partnership with the Art Center in Dover.
I’m very pleased that my linocut portraits, “Going to Poland, 1921” and “Wedding Day, 1924” were chosen for this show. I have been making and showing collagraphs recently, but I still love linocuts, and in particular these two portraits of my grandmothers inspired by photographs of them taken 100 years ago, give or take a year or two!
There is such an interesting diversity of media and messages in this show. See the list of participants in the second slide.
The show is open during regular business hours at theartcenterdover through October 31. I hope local friends can attend the artists reception on Saturday, October 7, from 6-9 at One Washington Street!

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.
