FEATURED ARTISTS 2023
Elizabeth Fall
Michigan Chapter
Fall is a lifelong Michigan resident and has lived and worked in Ann Arbor for the past 30 years. She holds a BFA from the University of Michigan, and an MFA in Metalsmithing from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Rita Koehler
Indiana Chapter
Koehler situates herself as artist in the debate of what constitutes an intelligible life—one that is speakable, has meaning, and is valued. The philosophy of her work is based on the premise that existence is relational and that to exist means to exist in communion.
Linda Arreola
Southern California Chapter
Linda Arreola is an abstract artist from Los Angeles with a background in sculpture and architecture. She received her B.A. and M.A. degrees in Fine Art, with a specialty in sculpture, from California State University Los Angeles. She later went on to receive a Master of Architecture from UCLA.
Susan Kitazawa
Northern California Chapter
Susan Kitazawa lives in San Francisco. She enjoys making art, writing, dancing, and community advocacy. She has university degrees in cultural anthropology, nursing, and education. She is retired after 25 years working as a registered nurse
Lucy Gans
Member-at-large
Lucy Gans is a printmaker and a sculptor, based in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Her work is figurative, narrative often using self-portraits to explore social issues; current work ranges from small photogravures and monotypes to individually carved figures, and includes installations with cast objects, prints, drawings, and recorded text.
Greta Waterman
Northern California
Greta Waterman has lived an adventure filled life as a model, professional merchandiser, florist, realtor, and painter. After graduating NYU, Greta got her Masters degree at Fordham Business School. From there, she moved into the exciting career of modeling, traveling far and wide for shoots in and out of the country.
Nancy Cassidy
Chicago Chapter
My work is movement based, exploring color and shape as energy and vibration. Literally moved by nature, my paintings are created when gestures express themselves with pigment. I love being enveloped by a painting, standing so close to it your eyes see nothing but color. I invite you to get up close and personal with them as well.
Clarisse Casalino
Member-at-large
Clarisse Casalino is a registered psychiatric nurse, published writer, and artist living in Chicago, IL. Clarisse graduated from Latin School in 2013, and New York University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. As a psychiatric nurse and a previous psychiatric patient, Clarisse finds herself in a particularly fantastic position to show the sane insanity.

From Notes To Noteworthy: These Note-Taking Apps Will Transform Your Grad School Experience And Keep You Ahead
If there is one thing that I know for sure, staying organized in graduate school can be a challenging. Especially for future art historians and curators, where the need for impeccable citations and copious note-taking are often par for the course. Thankfully, these applications are steadily evolving in terms of features somehow delivering a futuristic appeal with the traditional feel.

Making Their Mark
Just saw a fantastic exhibition, "Making Their Mark", a major exhibition showcasing the works of more than 80 of the most significant women artists from the last eight decades, at the Shah Garg Foundation at 548 West 22nd Street, New York.
Among the 80 artists represented, at least 20 had received a Women's Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award. The show was curated by Cecilia Alemani.

Announcing inclusion of Sarah Schneiderman’s portrait of Geo Soctomah Neptune, the first trans, non-binary, and two-spirit person elected to public office in Maine, for inclusion in this year’s Big Gay Art Show. This show runs from December 6 to 22. The Big Gay Art Show is a juried art show that exhibits and sells artwork supporting the LGBTQ+ community and allies. The Big Gay Art Show is a much anticipated, well-attended exhibition open to all artists in any medium and level. In 2012, the Big Gay Art Show was conceptualized by a small group – some connected to SAC and others in the Sedona Pride organization. The event began as an effort to offer the LGBTQ+ community a voice in the local art scene. Since that first show, SAC has welcomed hundreds of emerging and professional artists to Sedona to share their work throughout the event’s history. Sarah uses non-recyclable trash and repurposed materials to create art about social, political, and environmental issues. She has worked with these materials for over 25 years, creating stunning, aesthetically pleasing, and thought-provoking pieces. Big Gay Art Show Location: 15 Art Barn Road, Sedona, AZ 86336
Gallery Hours: Monday through Saturday 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday 12 – 5 pm
Opening reception: December 6, 4 – 6 pm

Sentimental Sunday:
Warmly recalling 2018 standing next to my piece after installing with a wildly experienced art handler at artshare_la
So many great stories and something I’ll never forget. When he caught me whistling to what I thought was myself, he told me it was the sign of a happy spirit. ✨
Keeping the spirit in whistle-inducing, creative environments is my top priority.

Three Blessings and A Warning II — off the loom and blocked! In Judaism, a hamsa — or hand — pointing down can indicate. blessings flowing from above. Pointing up is a stop sign, a warning, a protection. In almost any culture, red is rage, danger, fear, passion, life-blood. I first wove a similar one at the beginning of the pandemic. It sold. But I wasn’t happy with it. This one is similar, larger, with more consistent shaping and better weaving (three years hence.) It seems like a good way to wind down the covid series.
22x14 inches, four-selvedge, wool warp, churro wool weft. 8epi on Mirrix loom with Shasta combs
