Inner Mind:
Mistie Erickson, Ann Maki and Jim Matthew

Maki_Every_Scrap_Gets_Used.jpgMistie Erickson, Ann Maki and Jim Matthew grasp the elements of their art it like a torchlight to explore the hidden pathways of their minds. Along these pathways, they attempt to find the hidden gems of treasure that hide elusively in the shadows and sometimes scamper just out of reach. Along the way the unconscious and the inner eye/hand merge together to create fresh, new images.  The work shifts and unfolds, revealing the inner working of the soul and the results are often unpredictable.

Patrice Colvin: Journeys

72dpismall.jpgWhen beginning a new painting, Patrice reaches into the depths of her psyche for inspiration.   Each new endeavor often stems from long-suppressed  inner  feelings and memories.   Her inner travels, when translated onto canvas, can take her on one or many twisty trails with a few bumps along the way.  She often faces puzzling and dark passages that come to an abrupt end, propelling her onto a  completely new course.  When her journey reaches its darkest and most difficult point, she looks into her soul and tries to discover what she needs to communicate to her audience.
