Artist Morgan Fite utilizes palette knives to create subtle, feathery layers in this abstract piece. "I was inspired by the olive tree, an unexpected evergreen whose fruit, much like us, undergoes immense crushing and pressing in order to produce its cherished oil."
About the Artist
Abstract artist and Tennessee-native Morgan Fite paints delicate compositions that allude to natural forms and changing light. She paints with neutral tones and feathery brushstrokes that give her art its soft and dreamlike quality. She is inspired by her travels and cites the earthy tones of Central Africa and the textures of Roman architecture as particularly influential. For each piece, she begins her process by selecting a color palette from her collection of flowers and rocks. Throughout her portfolio, Morgan strives to make art that invites, moves, and inspires.

The bright morning sunshine floods a front porch where an inviting scene unfolds. Artist Sherri Aldawood was drawn to the light and cast shadows on this historic adobe home in Taos, New Mexico.

Artist Candice Eisenfeld presents a painting within a painting emanating warmth and light from the middle. "These paintings are meant to explore levels of meaning as they connect our personal experiences to a world severely distanced from ourselves," states Candice. Her interest lies in understanding what is at the core of human nature—desire, curiosity, love, and hope. "It is narrating a personal archeology of the id while simultaneously relating to other people what is timelessly universal."
About the Artist
As an American exploring issues of identity, artist Candice Eisenfeld paints through the lens of the first American art movement, the Hudson River School. Rather than depicting a specific locale, Candice’s artwork evokes a sense of place. These "inner landscapes" are invented, and often reference photographs taken during travels in southern Appalachia and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Whether real or imagined, her paintings are influenced by the Dutch Masters, Tonalists, and Chinese painting. Produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscapes are often joined with segments of aqueous color fields which act as commentary for the landscapes, like the chorus in a Greek play. The crisp, hard edges separating the landscapes from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid and painterly surface. With two or three sections of the panel competing for attention, the painting creates multiple focal points. Candice's art has been displayed in embassies in Namibia and Belarus, held in the collections of Norwest Bank and Northwest Airlines...

Artist Doug Cosbie presents a rustic farmstead in a winter landscape with an impressionistic approach. "This scene is typical of the old farms along Hwy 37 along the St Lawrence River," says Doug. The winter sky, at first glance, appears grey and leaden while the snow appears white. On closer inspection, subtle shades of blue, purple, and even pink luster depending on the winter light.
About the Artist

Longing to create something that connects with people, Cosbie spent countless years perfecting how he portrays the world on canvas.
