Jordan Stone

Jordan Stone

Born and raised in Berkshire County, my artistic practice is an intuitive exploration of color and form, born from a deep connection to the natural beauty of the Berkshires. As a self-taught acrylic fluid artist and abstract painter, I embrace the unpredictable nature of flow, allowing vibrant hues to mingle and merge on the canvas. Through the strategic use of stencils, I introduce moments of deliberate structure within the fluidity, creating a dynamic interplay between chance and intention.

Diane Firtell

Diane Firtell

Not a photographer….but an artist who uses a camera, almost all of Diane's work, over the years, has originated from the photograph. Making art; a mystery to some, a mandate to others. And while she clearly fall into the latter category, the why still, often times, remains a mystery. Easily bored and not terrifically skilled technologically but, she enjoys being ever engaged in the "what is there for me to do that is different” experience…not necessarily to be different from other artists, but mostly to have a new creative experience for herself. While she continues to do what she enjoys doing, it is exciting for her to know that a year from now something she currently has no conscious awareness of will become part of a fresh and new body of work.

Karen Kane

Karen Kane

Karen Kane's art is primarily generated through a visual and tactile discussion with internal and external forces -- emotion, memory, color, nature, structure, light, language, poetry. This discussion becomes the process and the expression itself. Her paintings and drawings begin in a place -- an image, an idea, a color, a feeling -- and evolve into form and color that are derived from that origin. Her work, however, quickly transfers to activity in a spatial environment that relates primarily to itself. The energy she feels when interacting with a point of inspiration and her materials moves her to create a visual that is an improvisation of color and form, thus evolving beyond representation of visible life to a place where new relationship is created, where energy develops beyond reasoning.

Karen Kane has studied art, beginning in her post-college years, as an independent student at various institutions including UMass Amherst and Hampshire College, and with independent teachers in Massachusetts, Vermont and California.
