Miniatures Call for Artists Accepted Entries Artist Amy Lowry Chicago, Illinois, USA Milkweed Mixed Media   Artist Statement These pieces are from a series called “SNAPS: portraits of Maine.” They are comprised of small oil collages that reference a place or experience of 50 years spent in the landscape of New England. I divide my time between studios in Maine and Chicago, painting representational landscapes and botanicals with oil on canvas. I use disposable palettes, and one day a discarded palette caught my eye. The stains, smears, and colorful brushstrokes evoked a topography that was abstracted yet familiar.

I assemble repurposed boxes forming grids, matrixes that hold organic-like specimens, relics, treasures. The hard edged boxes justaposed with the nature-inspired forms create a contrasting harmony. Butterflies bring beauty and joy and they also bring change. The butterfly teaches that growth and change can occur as gently and joyfully as one wishes. The views expressed by ourRead More →

Miniatures Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Ahavani Mullen Chicago, Illinois, USA Untitled 4 Mixed Media Artist Statement My work participates in the interplay between the seen and the unseen. Navigating the hidden and the revealed, it explores how the earth plane and the higher, inner worlds blend with each other and complete each other. My process involves engaging in the work as a spiritual practice, drawing on inner experiences and meditations to capture that which grows in mental silence, and uncover an image which existed previously only in the inner worlds. Because encaustic paint is built up layer upon layer, it is particularly wellRead More →
