SENE selected the following artists for our 2010 festival. Artists attended our Opening Night Party, Wednesday, April 7 at PeaceLove Studios in Pawtucket.
Joanne Thorne Arnold
Joanne is best known as an oil painter who specializes in color. Her paintings are inspired by nature, particularly the lush landscapes and the ever changing season of the Southern Tier of New York. Her work is not limited to the abstract. She often visits the figurative by painting the familiar like the repetition of rooftops in a landscape.
Larisa Colantonio
Art is the doorway I walk through for me to step outside of ME.
Avelino de Castro
Art is.
Rebecca Flores
Rebecca is an impressive deep-rooted surrealist visual artist who expresses her feelings and thoughts through painting and writing poetry. Rebecca’s paintings are of personal content and her creative style is always humbling yet explicit.
Michelle Gates
I climb through the hole in the fabric of our existence, seeking inspiration.
Jay Gidwitz
I aim to capture the surreal and mysterious world of dreams and the unconscious, the images that vividly pop out as you float towards the periphery of consciousness
C.A. Millner
Inspired by the shapes of letterforms and the meaning of the text I am compelled to play with both elements. Driven to produce more than legible words, I strive to give structure to the piece of art while maintaining the rudiment of beautiful letters.
Joe Niderno
I see everything in layers, every layer is more important than the next.
Alexandra Salisbury
Alexandra is inspired by the uncommon beauty of urban landscapes. Whether she is developing in the darkroom or sculpting in the studio, her subject matter always returns to the beautiful and textural surfaces of the urban walls and surfaces often passed by and overlooked. After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education with a concentration in Photography from Rhode Island College in 2009, she began working as a high school art teacher in Rhode Island. She currently lives in Providence, RI where she works on her photography, painting, and metal-smithing.
Alene Schneierson
The four pieces on display are part of a series exploring barriers and our constant and continuous attempts to break through them, to break free of external and internal constraints, whether present in physical form or in self-imposed limitations.
Joyce Smith
When I am not working on my art I become crabby and restless.
Steven Subotnick
As a visual artist, he believes in the expressive power of materials - that technique and content are inseparable - that ideas only become real when they are tangible. His method is similar to documentary filmmaking in that he spends time intuitively creating images and animated scenes before he imposes a filmic structure. The film's final narrative grows organically out of the accumulated material through the process of editing and designing sound.
Ann Tait
I have been studying the imagery on mid-late 19 century gravestones for the past four years. These images have fascinated me for some time but it wasn’t until this conscious venture that I began to seriously study the variety of these images.
Ellen Wallstrom
Color is key.
