Submitted by JCobb on Mon, 12/03/2012 - 11:48

Folk Heart is a collaborative project between brother and sister, Maggie Rose and Matthew Bogosian. They use photography to explore positive relationships between the manmade and the natural. When there is balance there is beauty.
 
The images are transferred onto artisan paper with the help of essential oils and finished with vintage white, wooden frames.

November Featured Member Artist - Helen Dechtiar

Submitted by ttaylor on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 14:19

This month’s featured Member artist is Helen Dechtiar, who is showing her "organic abstracts" using varied mediums such as watercolor, pen and ink, watercolor pencil, gouache, oil and acrylic. Her work is influenced by the scientific investigation of micro-worlds, stellar worlds and worlds we imagine may exist. She searches for the harmonies, patterns, movements and the "changes and chances" hidden in these worlds rather than choosing to create illusions of reality, also known as "realism". Helen is also influenced by Asian art that seeks to explore the "essence" of things. She looks for the patterns and forms she sees within Chinese and Arabic calligraphy.

September Featured Member Artist - Christopher McBride

Submitted by JCobb on Tue, 09/04/2012 - 15:23

City Market’s featured Member Artist for the month of September is Christopher McBride. His photography is taken with a Nikon camera and lenses, and he tries not to transport the viewer to another place, but rather to first bring them directly to the image. The image’s color, texture, light and composition speak first, and then perhaps the viewer will go the image location and fill in associations.

June Featured Member Artist - Charley Thompson

Submitted by JCobb on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 12:30

Our Featured Member Artist for the month of June is Charley Thompson. Read more about Charley in his artist’s statement below:

I am a passionate nature photographer. My objective is to bring images to the public that relax, inspire and intrigue. I was given my first camera at age five, and have been taking photographs ever since. I prefer not to crop or manipulate my images in any way, and work to engage the natural beauty of color and composition that I find in nature by capturing images as they exist. My hope is that what enters my lens cannot be improved upon.

May Featured Member Artist - Laura Smith

In Search of Puella
Oil Paintings at City Market

Laura Smith is a farmer, civil servant and dreamer who lives in an intentional community in Huntington, Vermont. She is a student of Archetypal Dreamwork at the North of Eden Center for Archetypal Dreamwork in Montpelier, Vermont.

She has this to say about her work:

In March of 2011, I dreamed that the Anima (female divine Archetypal figure) was teaching me how to paint as we painted together. In the dream, I felt incredible support and love in my place of child-like creativity with her. I felt very close to her, like she really cared about me. It was like she had all the time in the world for me and it didn’t matter if I made a mistake. During a particularly difficult spot in my dreamwork, my dream therapist suggested that I draw or paint an image from the dream. This opened the door to a previously unexplored part of me. I think of this new found creativity as a gift of the dreamwork; something unexpected and profoundly moving for me, a place to deeply explore and feel into what the dreams bring.

Astral Inspirations by Alicia Pacelli

I grew up as the daughter of an Astronomy teacher, so stars have always been an important presence in my life.  I can barely name the constellations, (I can really only be sure of the Big and Little Dippers, and Orion's Belt) and I'm lucky if I can identify what appears to be an extremely bright star as a planet (most likely it's Venus).  However, I am and always have been fascinated by the night sky.
