Jane Cooper

Artist and designer, Jane Cooper, graduated from Denison University with a BA in Theatre. Post working professionally on Broadway, she focused on design and fine art. In describing her art, Cooper states, “Painting is like theatre. In my life, the two are inexorably linked. They are worlds I move between. Process, character and light. Color, form and performance. For me, it is blue. I cannot leave it aside. It is the color pervading all memory. The blue of Delft, the murky indigo of the creek by our house, the lakes of Michigan, sapphire seas around New Zealand, the blue of…

TomÁsio

Thomas Glen Hacker, aka TomÁsio, started painting after an inspiring trip to Boulder, Colorado in his mid-20s. Once back home, he got busy on the canvas and realized he had a passion for the abstract. Growing up watching his father, mother, and sister paint impressionistic, abstract, and realistic works, he was surrounded by influences and subconscious stimuli. He worked with different and challenging approaches and the more he learned and experimented, he eventually came to realize that in painting he had discovered his own philosophy. As a process, it’s one whereby he’s able to channel sensory information, leading to internalization,…

Laurie Alberts

“In Laurie Alberts’s landscape paintings, color saturation penetrates the viewer like an elemental experience of love. Often paradoxically wavering between clarity and mood, they’re suffused as much with sensations as they are depictions of light, shadow, reflection, time, and space. While they might be “about” trees, rivers, clouds, and grasses, they are equally about seeing emotion in images free of the burden of narrative.” — Alice Fogel, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Nothing But, considerations on abstract expressionism From a very early age, Laurie Alberts found solace and adventure in the woods and fields of northern…
