By experiencing her art, viewers are invited to delve deeper into their own connection with the natural world and contemplate the intricate balance between these diverse aspects of our existence.DAVID KUPFERMANDavid Kupferman grew up in Newton, MA, the son of artists Ruth Cobb and Lawrence Kupferman. Learning a great deal about art from his parents, David was educated in Switzerland and at the University of Wisconsin. He summered for many years on Cape Cod which inspired much of his art. He is the recipient of grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Adolph Gottlieb Foundation. David currently lives in Fairfield, Iowa.David&#x27;s large abstract color paintings evoke the light and mood of the inner and outer landscape. Kupferman&#x27;s work is a unique fusion of Eastern and Western art, celebratory of the inner and outer flow of universal light, energy and spirit. David&#x27;s works are in many museums, private collections and corporations.HALEH MASHIANFor over three decades, Haleh Mashian&#x27;s art has beautifully portrayed her unique and insightful perspective on the world, seamlessly blending reality and imagination. As a creative expressionist, Mashian&#x27;s work embodies her enchantment with the interplay of color, composition, and the dynamic relationship between positive and negative space. Through her mastery of mixed media techniques, ranging from collage to impasto, she constantly pushes the boundaries of materiality, conjuring a textural fantasy where the lines between the real and its interpretation converge. Mashian&#x27;s art expertly utilizes negative and positive space, crafting captivating, three-dimensional paintings that act as portals to a world brimming with life, vitality, and energy. They compel engagement and evoke profound emotional responses, transporting viewers to an untamed realm where the boundaries of possibility are endlessly expanded. Within Mashian&#x27;s artistic journey lie diverse series, each infused with a personal narrative. Whether inspired by spiritual encounters, introspective introspections, or the sheer splendor of the world that surrounds her, her creations are driven by an unwavering passion for color, texture, and scale. The dynamic nature of her pieces, available in various sizes, ensures a harmonious fit within residential, retail, and hospitality settings, offering art enthusiasts a wide array of avenues to appreciate and engage with her captivating work.ANDY HARWOODAndy Harwood is an artist based in Brisbane, Australia, who has exhibited work for 15 years. Harwood has established a disciplined and meticulous practice and expresses emotion through the visual language of geometric and non-representational form. Harwood’s paintings investigate the relationship of forms and structures, drawing attention to the interaction of shape, size, positioning and space. The compositions are derived mathematically to create an overriding sense of balance and proportion. Contrasting chromatic spectrums and intricate patterns, challenge the viewer to engage in new and different visual narratives. Using underpainting with diverging textural layering, Harwood charges his paintings with energy and movement. Exacting patterns interweave across the canvas, layering foreground and background to misdirect the gaze and deflect the viewer from a central focal point. In addition, the accumulation of precision lines creates an exaggerated distortion where straight lines vibrate. Harwood’s paintings conceptualize the sensation of a brain in flux, between order and chaos, and are an exploration into the capacity for the strictures of mathematical geometry to evoke emotive responses in the viewer.BONITA HELMERBonita Helmer explores scientific theories of physics, astronomy, the inner and outer realms of existence, and the unseen elements of our universe in her paintings. Mystical and philosophical theories are interwoven with ancient symbols as she represents aspects of space and particle physics such as the crystal lattice, nutrino, gravitino, sparticles and star nurseries. Helmer is attracted to naturally occurring and theoretical forms and structures that lend themselves to gestural abstract painting. In actuality, she paints real things and places that are in themselves abstract and sometimes even invisible. She uses physics along with images from space as inspiration for investigation into the theory of the ever–expanding universe.During graduate work at Otis College of Art and Design, Helmer worked with Mitsumi Kanemitsu who became a strong influence in the use of abstraction in painting. Helmer also met and studied with Francoise Gilot at University of Southern California/Idyllwild campus. Gilot introduced Helmer to the use of universal symbol in art. At that time other influences included a friendship with Dr. Jonas Salk who brought to Helmer, awareness of the relationship between science and art. Helmer studied the origins of the universe via physics and astronomy at UCLA and has continued in her personal research into physics and mystical studies. Helmer taught at Otis College Art and Design 1998-2018. Helmer received her BA in painting, UCLA, Antioch and did graduate work at Otis College Art and Design. She lives and works in Los Angeles.JILL DANIELSBorn in Fairbanks, Alaska Jill has been drawing and painting from an early age. Jill’s work has been featured in design magazines as well as exhibited and collected worldwide. Her paintings have exhibited on the east coast in New York as well as internationally in Europe and Asia. Daniels’s talent as a painter also translated into a highly successful career working with entertainment studios.

Her artistry has been crucial in developing the look for many Emmy winning productions for a wide variety of studios including, Netflix, Disney Animation, Illumination / Dreamworks / Universal, PBS, Sony Pictures, CTN Development Shorts Program, FOX, Warner Brothers, and Nickelodeon Original Movies to name a few. Daniels was also one of the top four willing finalists in the See l Me True North contest.Some favorite projects have been art directing Phineas and Ferb with Disney, and visual development on various Minion properties with Illumination, along with creating short animated films using the new technologies of Unreal Engine Mega grants from Epic Games.ANTHONY LIGGINS“I am a messenger, I want my work to bring enlightenment and passion,” says Anthony Liggins, whose art is always rooted in his sense of spirituality. A student of eastern philosophies such as Zen and Japan’s Wabi Sabi, he approaches his mixed-media paintings as a continuation of his learning in these subjects. They are composed of bright, layered colors, and elements such as Plexiglas, yarn, ebony, aged bamboo, stones, metal, and “other talismans,” as he says. Liggins considers folk music, dance, and Abstract Expressionism to be among influences on his practice.
