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

Not a photographer…. but an artist who uses a camera, almost all of Diane's work has originated from the photograph. Making art; a mystery to some, a mandate to others. While she clearly fall into the latter category, the “why” often remains a mystery. "What is there for me to do that is different?”.

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.
