Deckert is past president of Artworks Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut and served on the Board of Directors for fourteen years. He has also exhibited at the Senator's Connecticut Office of the U.S. Senate and at the Steven's Gallery at the University of Connecticut. He created a fourteen-foot long wall mural for the UConn Tri-Campus Psychology Department in West Hartford, which was featured in the first volume of Arts Magazine. Deckert painted works for the "Cow Parade New York" and "Cow Parade West Hartford" events and Oil Drum Art, Artspace, Hartford where his work received Aesthetic First Prize. In New York, Deckert has shown in the Monique Goldstrom Gallery in New York City and exhibited in the "Brave Destiny" International Surrealist Exhibition at the Williamsburgh Art and Historical Center in Brooklyn,
His work has been featured on the cover of Art Calendar magazine and Hartford
Magazine. His work is represented in numerous collection throughout the U.S. and he continually exhibits in the Northeast.
McGuiness About
Kathleen McGuiness
I have realized that the process of creating art is far more satisfying than the completion. The body state is in such a strong place during the developing of our interpretation of what appears before us. The time given to each creation is complete in its own spiritual place. It seems that the nearing of a completion, a resolution, is more mind and body, the ego being gratified, which is a great thing to be nurtured. The process is living and in growing, kind of a Zen-like place. The stress of completing is very draining of the spirit. Creating should have no completion. For me it is the force when every part of my consciousness tells me to let go and move onto the next experience.
Newton About
Douglas Newton
I paint the things around us: fruits and vegetables, household items, toys, all the objects of everyday life. I also have a series on candies and their wrappers, focusing on their translucency and reflections. In all these paintings, my emphasis is on light, color, texture and atmosphere.
Sorrin About
M 'Lou Sorrin
M’Lou bought her first set of watercolors in 1990 and took lessons at the Woodstock School of Art. It was also at the school that she took a workshop with Richard McDaniel and discovered the richness and beauty of pastel as a vehicle for her artistic expression. Her natural ability in this medium was further enhanced through workshops with Elizabeth Mowry, Rosalie Nadeau, Carole Chisholm Garvey, John DiMestico and Albert Handell.
Terrell About
David Terrell
David Terrell received his art training at Washington University in St. Louis and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
"My works are primarily concerned with moods," he says, "almost Zen-like moments and places."
Tommolino About
Damon Tommolino
Works are politically motivated, but aesthetically driven. Instructive, socially oriented tableaux are virtually audible thanks to the energetic palette and refined brushwork. Each vision unbuttons traditional propaganda, challenging the control paradigms that are commonplace. Execution of works is earthy, meaty, making for irony. Each scene captures a moment, eerie in its fluency, sincere and earnest. You can learn something from these works. Look and find truth in ideas you have long rallied against. Look again, find chaos. Look from another angle, and find a homecoming. The panels are an evolution of an artist, and you are along for the ride.
Washor About
Joyce Washor
I am captivated by the beauty inherent in the stillness of simple objects. I have been using a small format of 3x4 inches since 1997 as a result of a rotator cuff injury. As it's turned out it's a case of turning lemons into lemonade! I love this small scale in still life, portraiture and landscape.
