“Lines become a vehicle in art-making that can persuade the viewer how to see. The transition of my lines from being abstract to being referential took no effort. The shift happened when I untangled the interior of my mind and looked through the studio window.” https://www.instagram.com/lynhortonphotoart http://www.crossmackenzie.com https://lynhorton.net

Ruby Aver Street Zen

Growing up on the South Side of Chicago in the 60s was a history rich and troubled time. As a youth, playing in the streets demanded grit.

Teaching Tai Chi for the last 30 years requires a Zen state of mind. My paintings come from this quiet place yet exhibit the rich grit of my youth. Movement, shape and color dominate. Ruby Aver - 413-854-7007 rdaver2@gmail.com, Instagram: rdaver2

Bruce Panock

The core of my work is landscape. But it is only the beginning. I use the landscape to help me share how I see what is around me. My work incorporates my dreams, how I see the social conflict that is part of our lives today, how I see what we are doing to our earth.

Though due to my health I am relegated to the digital darkroom, I refer to the photographers and methods used in the past, whether film photography, wet plate methods, or such other methods as were used. Among the photographers who have inspired me are Anne Brigman, John Gossage, Jerry Uelsmann, Dorothea Lange, and Sally Mann. I also refer heavily to Japanese Brush Painting, and the Abstract Expressionists. Bruce Panock - 917-287-8589 www.panockphotography.com bruce@panockphotography.com

Mark Mellinger

Practicing art for 60 years and psychoanalysis for 40, Dr. Mellinger’s careers concern language, spoken and unspoken and what transcends language. In painting, collage and constructions of wood and iron he is drawn to the physicality of materials.

Eschewing predictability, Mellinger explores the possibilities of materials and media. Our lives and our world are dissolving. We must cherish our experiences for all they're worth.

I’ve moved my studio into an exciting new artist’s collective in the Berkshire Eagle Building, 75 South Church St, 3rd floor, Pittsfield. Mark Mellinger - 914-260-7413 markmellinger680@gmail.com
