In a variety of media that includes drawing, painting, collage, gouache, fiber art, painting, and collography, three artists are coming together to create an exhibit that unifies with serendipity on themes of nature, fascination, and protection.
Marcie Gill-Kinast says, "In this series, all elements originate in natural forms, but become more intensified, morphing in shape, scale and color. Thought and spirit create an unexpected grammar of expression. This ongoing series is, at its essence, rooted in the power of nature over man. Technically, this also provides an opportunity to experiment with and expand on color relationships and theory. I have found that gouaches gives me a great deal of flexibility in this exploration as well as providing me with a less toxic work environment while figuratively exploring the different toxicities that exist in our world.
Kelly Nicola Chiovitti’s artwork is centered on capturing the wild and untamed qualities of nature, with a particular focus on the delicate shapes of flowers. Through her drawings, she explores the intricate lines and textures found in the natural world, expressing her belief that beauty can be found in even the smallest and most overlooked details. Working primarily with graphite and ink pens, Kelly’s style brings a sense of simplicity and appreciation to the natural forms she studies. Sustainability is a key principle in Kelly’s practice.
Priscilla Roggenkamp says, “Textiles are my ‘jam’ so to speak. As an art material they are ripe with content. They reflect our collective experience of wearing, touching, and desiring cloth. Clothing denotes personhood, and labor status. It calls to our memories, and oh so many things about ourselves and our culture. Aesthetically textiles speak of the tactile, the sensual and the sculptural.” Roggenkamp’s work touches on themes of mythical stories, identity, relations to our planet, immigration, and family.
