Judy Beals is a painter and mixed media artist. She says “For me, a blank canvas is a birthplace. Each painting grows from what I feel in that particular space and time, expressed often by the simplicity of a single object. The dance of patterns is everywhere – in nature, in faces, in surfaces - and I celebrate the random imperfections of age, weather, and mishap and the energetic play of colors with one another.”

Chuck Nyren creates wood crafts and scroll saw art. He says “Many of my creations are made of wood that appealed to me for its graining and structure. Woods chosen vary from recycled old furniture (such as antique drop leaf table, Cherry love seat, IRS office chair) to common fir, Western Cedar, Cherry, Black Walnut, Hickory, Maple, White Oak and Ash.”

Juliana Roy is a Fine Artist, Illustrator and Set Designer. Juliana’s work will feature paintings that “are a series of mountains that surround the Historical Gergeti Trinity Monastery, in the country of Georgia. I was privileged to travel to Georgia on pilgrimage this past summer for inspiration. These landscapes are painted on wooden plaques from the Benedictine Monastery in Branford, CT.”

Marcelino Herrera Vegas is a painter. He says “Oil is the material that allows me to express myself freely. My Palettes are mainly austere, finding at that simplicity a deeper contact with reality. My composition arises from an internal and personal dialogue in my challenge to build the image I intend. The past gives me the atmosphere for deploying my painting. Behind my paintings there is always a story. A story that stays open to the viewer's entrance.”
