SUMMARY:"Behind My Mask" by Keila Small
DESCRIPTION:My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself as a woman. Through my new series\,” Through my\nEyes”\, I do not limit myself to one style or concept simply because interpretation and ideas change. I believe in creativity\, imagination and self-expression. I portray my subjects in surroundings that are relevant to my life and/or in a manner that best captives my emotions at the time. I think of my work as a celebration and affirmation of my life. Each portrait is an adventure and curiosity of the human figure. I want to infuse my portraits with a sense of realism\, so each painting appears relaxed and familiar. Art is more about communicating what I am feeling than what I am seeing. My goal is to capture women’s beauty by allowing them to be themselves. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW! \nBIO\nI currently live and work in sunny Florida. I was raised in Port-Au-Prince\, Haiti. When I was younger\, I was encouraged to pursue education and career interests that would lead to fulfilling my family’s goals for me. I always did artwork\, often hiding my devotion to the craft I loved.\nAfter graduating high school in Haiti\, I went on to North Carolina A&T State University obtaining a BS in Applied Mathematics. While I studied hard and succeeded in these endeavors’ art was always in my heart and on my mind. Today\, if I am asked what I do or even who I am\, I am proud to answer…I am an artist.

SUMMARY:"Adventures in Art" by Jenifer Madson
DESCRIPTION:My journey as an artist began later in life and quickly became a profound calling that transcends mere hobby. My work is a way of translating the dynamic energy around me into a visual narrative that invites others to see the world through my eyes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy process is driven by passion; each piece I create is born from a deep connection to the subject matter. Whether it’s a landscape\, a portrait\, or an abstract interpretation\, I strive to capture the essence of movement and life\, whether in the skies\, water\, or the human form\, bringing it to life on canvas with a mix of precision and fluidity. \nMy art is more than a creation—it’s an invitation to wonder and reflection\, each painting a story waiting for its connection\, its reader. \n– Jenifer Madson \nPHONE: 646-863-4955 \nEMAIL: info@jenifermadson.com

SUMMARY:"Think Big" by Elizabeth Ventura
DESCRIPTION:Creating large works requires not only exaggerated gestures\, sweeping brush strokes\, and thick paint but also broader\, simpler concepts that can be seen and understood from a distance. Big work means tapping into big dreams. \nI thought about bold colors\, distinct shapes\, a mix of organic and structured elements to create a noticeable presence. \nThink Big was jump-started by a conversation with a group of women of a certain age that centered on the “cultural invisibility” of older women. Think Big says “I’m here and I still have something meaningful to say.” \n– Elizabeth Ventura

SUMMARY:"Adventures in Art" by Jenifer Madson
DESCRIPTION:My journey as an artist began later in life and quickly became a profound calling that transcends mere hobby. My work is a way of translating the dynamic energy around me into a visual narrative that invites others to see the world through my eyes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy process is driven by passion; each piece I create is born from a deep connection to the subject matter. Whether it’s a landscape\, a portrait\, or an abstract interpretation\, I strive to capture the essence of movement and life\, whether in the skies\, water\, or the human form\, bringing it to life on canvas with a mix of precision and fluidity. \nMy art is more than a creation—it’s an invitation to wonder and reflection\, each painting a story waiting for its connection\, its reader. \n– Jenifer Madson \nPHONE: 646-863-4955 \nEMAIL: info@jenifermadson.com

SUMMARY:"Think Big" by Elizabeth Ventura
DESCRIPTION:Creating large works requires not only exaggerated gestures\, sweeping brush strokes\, and thick paint but also broader\, simpler concepts that can be seen and understood from a distance. Big work means tapping into big dreams. \nI thought about bold colors\, distinct shapes\, a mix of organic and structured elements to create a noticeable presence. \nThink Big was jump-started by a conversation with a group of women of a certain age that centered on the “cultural invisibility” of older women. Think Big says “I’m here and I still have something meaningful to say.” \n– Elizabeth Ventura

SUMMARY:"Behind My Mask" by Keila Small
DESCRIPTION:My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself as a woman. Through my new series\,” Through my\nEyes”\, I do not limit myself to one style or concept simply because interpretation and ideas change. I believe in creativity\, imagination and self-expression. I portray my subjects in surroundings that are relevant to my life and/or in a manner that best captives my emotions at the time. I think of my work as a celebration and affirmation of my life. Each portrait is an adventure and curiosity of the human figure. I want to infuse my portraits with a sense of realism\, so each painting appears relaxed and familiar. Art is more about communicating what I am feeling than what I am seeing. My goal is to capture women’s beauty by allowing them to be themselves. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW! \nBIO\nI currently live and work in sunny Florida. I was raised in Port-Au-Prince\, Haiti. When I was younger\, I was encouraged to pursue education and career interests that would lead to fulfilling my family’s goals for me. I always did artwork\, often hiding my devotion to the craft I loved.\nAfter graduating high school in Haiti\, I went on to North Carolina A&T State University obtaining a BS in Applied Mathematics. While I studied hard and succeeded in these endeavors’ art was always in my heart and on my mind. Today\, if I am asked what I do or even who I am\, I am proud to answer…I am an artist.
