My work is my narrative. My images are done in a journalistic mode to document and distill experiences and events that
have deep emotional resonances. The catalysts are varied and include my family history, my experiences living with chronic
illness, my Shawnee Native American heritage, evocative texts, and photography. It is an exploration of the philosophy of
identity. My work has been shown nationally and internationally in print exhibitions in Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Estonia,
Italy and Germany. I have won a number of awards for my work, including Best of Show at the Bradley University Print
Biennial and the Roy Wood prize in printmaking at the Royal Scottish Academy Contemporary Biennial. I have work in many
collections, including the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. I have been awarded residencies at the Vermont
Studio Center, MASS MOCA, and the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy.

Sonia Andrews
My name is Sonia Andrews and I am a young Russian artist living and working in Moscow. I am passionate about working
with contrasts and contradictions that evoke an uncanny feeling - by employing lusciously bright colours in my digital
works, sculpture and screen-printing, a rather dark and disturbing underpinning is suggested. I am keen on exploring such
topics as representation of beauty; deconstruction and transformation; ecological problems, automatisation and chance
through equally meticulous digital and analog practices that are usually sequent to one another.

Freddie Bommer II
In mid-2013, I decided to break loose from the bonds of the automatic camera mode as to allow myself the freedom to
control what I create from what I viewed of the world through the lens of my camera - the creative freedom to fully express
my artistic visions and to “speak” through my images. Being an Aspie, I have challenges with my social & communication
skills so my camera is my “voice” and where I am most comfortable...a means for me to share the beauty of the world
around me and those within it. After retirement in July 2016; after nearly 30 years of a career that was my “life”, I set forth
on my photographic journey to capture such images to evoke emotions, cause reflective thought, and to cause one to gasp
from the sheer “depth” of what I create; for this is the photographer I aspire to be and anything less, for me, will not be
acceptable.

Drawing from historical, symbolic, religious and mythological imagery, I trace anew an ontology of woman representation
and inequality, by translating contemporary feminist ideas into installations where new media is often paired with
paintings made using traditional techniques. Using mixed media painting and photography, the inner landscape of our
minds is explored weaving a labyrinth of dream-like images. Concepts of the shadow self, feminine archetypes, and cross-
cultural symbolism are often present. My work often involves the transformation of the female archetype of the virgin/
whore dichotomy which pervades most of western art and religion.

Paul Delpani
Born in Vienna in 1966 – in the chinese zodiac of a fire horse – I always had strong ties towards arts, starting to
photography at the age of 12. With a commercial family background I got economically trained and finished of the
Economic University in Vienna. Though I never lost the contact to my artistic roots of photography and even started oil
painting and aquarelle. In a combination of these methods and with the eagerness to find a stylistic exprimation I started
to work with alternative processes, namely cyanotypes. Whereas in my everyday life I worked in the field of tax advising
and later in auditing. Aside I started to exhibit my work in 1999. In 2008 I started to practice yoga, concentrating on Lu
Jong style, which is also called moving meditation. In 2017 I got a teacher for this yoga style. Trained on processes I use
photography conceptionally, mainly thinking in series giving a meaning. These were and are on exhibition since year 2000
mainly in the Vienna surroundings. In 2018 I started to focus on international possibilities to promote my work and had
been shown alongside with Vienna already in Texas, Glasgow, Budapest, Venice and in near future in Rome and on Canary
islands. In 2019 my own space – Atelier nunartig – was opened showing own works and those of others on invitation.

“I’m enamored with color, texture, atmosphere, depth and the interplay of light. Eyes wide open, I take what I see and
explore it in an ever-changing process of visual notation. It’s absolutely my way of staying completely present in the world.”
I grew up with a spatula in one hand and a paintbrush in another, among a family of artists and cooks. I received my first
watercolors at age 5, when I also observed my mother and grandmother transforming mounds of brilliant vegetables into
delicious, comforting soups. I’ve blended the two together, as chef/author of 5 award-winning cookbooks and a mixed
media artist. In my twenties I worked in marketing in NYC. One grey day, in my tall grey office building in my grey office, I
had a flash of insight. If I continued on my current career path, not only would I be burned out in short order, but I would
live a grey life. I fled to Italy, with no language and no luggage (mine was lost), clutching a map in Italian and my innate
curiosity, I found color, texture and atmosphere. I found a studio to paint in mornings and an Italian signora to teach me
cooking in the afternoons. I began a life of exploration, inspiration and healing through food and art, and offering that to the
world of people in search of both. I became a professional chef. I found my niche in food and healing. I played with flavor,
color and texture to connect nutrition science to the plate, and pioneered an intelligent, novel and delicious use of food in
the treatment of cancer. My nonprofit Healing Kitchens Institute continues to work closely on healing through food with
survivors and health professionals in major US cancer centers. Today, I find making art and cooking creatively are both
opportunities to be fully present in life, to pay attention to color, texture and composition. To be inspired by nature. To be
so absorbed in tasks that time expands. Working in my kitchen or studio is an immersion experience, in a vibrant, reverent,
tactile, visual world.

Ulyana Korol
Ulyana Korol is an experienced contemporary painter from Ukraine whose works have been featured in solo and group
exhibitions internationally. She works in the technique of mastichin fine art oil painting. Her canvases emit a warm light
and highlight the beauty of nature. Ulyana draws her artistic inspiration from travelling. A lot of amazing subjects often
make her literally “hunt” with the camera on them. In her paintings Ulyana shows the bright, unique and fragile beauty of
nature noticed by her. Sometimes it is the purple absolute of the endless lavender field or a mysterious passion flower
found in the shade of palm leaves, some white oleander bush, a scarlet pomegranate flower or incredible emerald shades
of sea waves…Artist’s passion for photography also has had an impact on her art. Ulyana captures flowers in macro format.
She has transferred this technique to her paintings. The image of a large, very close-up flower on the whole canvas has
become her speciality. All the energy, the brightness of colors, the love of life Ulyana transfers to her works, which vibrate
with the sun, warmth and positive. For more juiciness she uses the technique of palette knife painting. The artist is
delighted to be able to combine pastous textured brush strokes with the image of a graceful bending of a flower petal.
Ulyana’s works are held in numerous private collections in the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Asia.

and references to the cultural heritage in which we grow.”

Kozioł’s bold work absolutely embraces the photographic medium of black and white. The scale and depth captured in
this piece is quite unique and engaging, encouraging the observer to linger within its edges. From the hazy curves of the
detailed bridge, to the reflective textures and strong silhouetted foreground, this eloquent, cinematic image permeates the

Curator Review: Morning Light
There is a wistful and romantic quality to the light in this dimensional piece by artist Janet Milhomme. An almost spiritual
and reverent approach to nature has been achieved here. The soft, valued aspect reaches deep into that part of the mind
where mystery is born, and the tendriled branches reach further still, composing a work with many nostalgic strains.

recently awarded Master Status in the Coloured Pencil art form, voted by an international panel, Kevin is only one of 21
worldwide to reach this level of achievement. There are only 5 Australian’s in this list and he is the only Queenslander.
Kevin has always had an interest in art and photography and since his first win at an art competition at the age of
13 in 1970, he has created art to this very day. He has amassed an impressive portfolio of winning artworks in many
competitions around Australia and internationally. Kevin is a innovative when it comes to colouring his works as he has
devised a way to extract coloured tannins from Australian native plants. These colours feature in some of his works.
He says it is hard to describe some of the colours he produces as they are ‘different’ to the standard palette of colours.
“Australian Artists” is a Facebook page Kevin began and has administered since 2013. The group has around 10,000
members across the country. Kevin enjoys imparting his knowledge and time to art and receives the
same in return from the talented members of his group. Kevin also runs free Coloured Pencil Workshops at the
Maryborough Art Gallery. Kevin is married to Jeanette since 1980 and has two children and two grandchildren. Kevin and
his wife have done three laps of Australia and travelled many outback tracks, one of which led them to Daly Waters in the
Northern Territory to help a mate mow his lawn….it turned out that they bought the house off him and lived in the village
of 8 people for 8 years. It was here, Kevin built a rustic “Outback Workshop Gallery”, which was visited by thousands of
people each year. From this little village they travelled to outlying stations, crocodile infested waters, aboriginal towns
and isolated fishing villages to get inspiration for his artworks. Kevin’s exhibitions encompass works from as small as a
Kevin Rogers CPCAM postcard to as big as a metre wide pieces. There is something for everyone in his collection. Kevin says there is nothing
like owning an original artwork. It is yours only and no-one in the world has one like it.

George Smith was born in Liverpool, England, and has been producing art all his life. He studied painting and sculpture at
Liverpool University (BFA) under personal tutelage of David Nash and apprenticed with sculptor Sean Rice. George exhibited
his work, in both painting and sculpture, in Liverpool, Wales, and as part of an art collective in Norwich, before immigrating
to Canada in 2000. His current work is about the language of light and dark and its ability to draw the mind’s focus. A
driver of a car will see the child cross the road and the crow descend on carrion but not remember the trees or houses
that surround those images. George’s work is about these points of focused attention, in which the unnecessary and
superfluous disappear.
Curator Review: The Great Horse Race
The intangible nature of this piece reveals that paradox between illusion and reality. In between drips of paint and simple
lines, sits an unwavering devotion to the essence of a subject. Artist George HM Smith speaks in that obscure yet intricate
language of manifestation. His wonderful work is imbued with atmosphere and an amazingly layered narrative.

My art tells the stories of the relationships between me and my models. Before one brushstroke is put to canvas, I need
to know absolutely everything about her. My artistic process requires time and a commitment to paint the unmediated
truth discovered during this close relationship. It is an agonizing process but I am compelled to continue asking difficult
questions. Over the past years, I have painted the most unique women to me based on our chemistry and their story. I
believe that their behaviors are genetically determined and not a result of experience or societal influences. My paintings,
mixed media collages and sculptures will not necessarily go with the furniture but it will leave you with the unbelievable

Steffie Wallace
I was born in Adelaide, but now live in Melbourne, where I studied Fine Art, majoring in painting and printmaking. I have been
painting and exhibiting landscapes for over 35 years, and participated in many group and solo exhibitions, both in Australia
and overseas. As a practicing artist for over three decades, my paintings have always been inspired by the unique and
varied Australian landscape, particularly in extreme and dramatic weather conditions. The dominating skies in all my work
emphasise this concept, being my spiritual as well as my artistic inspiration. My paintings seek to raise awareness of the
issues of climate change and at the same time, highlight the beauty of the Australian environment.

Marian Wihak
Marian Wihak is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, who lives and works in
Toronto. Originally trained in theatre design with a long-standing career as a film designer and an established visual art
practice, she holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design. Marian’s work is informed by her experience as a
painter and as a conjurer of three-dimensional, metaphoric, narrative spaces. At the core of her practice she believes in
the potential of the aesthetic experience to inform and transform our lives; through its capacity to show us something we
didn’t know we knew, it invites surprise and new considerations prompting refection about one’s own state of being in the
world and within the larger, encompassing, fluid sense of time.
BOUNDLESS STATEMENT: Boundless is a series of large-scale oil paintings created over a period of 7 years, which
reference dramatic weather systems, and limitless geographical horizons as witnessed in the great plains of Southern
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The experience of being within that infinite space tethers and perhaps diminishes us, yet also
exhilarates and fulfills us by igniting the imaginative leap. View I was initially conceived within a multi-panel panorama
entitled Boundless: the view from here, in which each painting also exists as a substantive individual work. The paintings
in the Boundless series are expansive, stylized representations that are as much metaphors for spiritual longing as they
are portraits of a magnificent geography, and I use them as icons to convey ideas about boundlessness: The concept of
“boundless” is a sublime one that has been universal since the beginning of conscious thinking; The word chaos has been
used to describe this boundless space, this void, this deep, drawing its twofold meaning from the ancient Greek word

“cha” – holding and releasing. In this way, I embrace affirmative definitions of chaos, as a state of being that is rife with
change, upset and yet also, potential. While working on the Boundless series, I travelled across the southern band of
Oil on Canvas, 36 x 72 in Alberta and Saskatchewan during a summer marked by awesome storms and dramatic meteorological activity. I became
$5,000 USD all too aware of how these powerful forces of nature are multiplying in tandem with our compromised environment. The
resulting spectacle of the skies offers a palpable signifier of the seismic shift in our actual physical place in this universe,
inextricably linking the part we play now, with all and future ways.
Curator Review: View I (Boundless)
This fearless work by artist Marian Wihak touches on expansion and the atmospheric. The dark, infinite sky has been
imbued with a sense of drama and beautiful melancholy. Wihak’s distant horizon and soft strands of painted light, gives the
viewer an empirical experience. Be it internal or external in existence, this wondrous palette and perspective work speaks
the language of emancipation.
