Exhibiting Artists at Gallery 32

Living in New York, and having the opportunity to travel has given me the ability to appreciate the natural world, and translate these reactions to create images.

Throughout my photographic career, I developed a good eye seeing the interplay of composition and light in nature and like to explore this in landscape photography. Light and shadow affect  scenes and objects, bringing out contrasts, creating a mood, or an emotional reaction.

I enjoy immersing myself in photographic technology and processing images to illustrate what I saw or felt. Although I am interested in pushing technology to obtain sharpness, I also experiment with different camera techniques such as “intentional camera movement” to interpret what I see. I enjoy sharing my perceptions with others, giving them the opportunity to react to the images I have created.

She lives in rural Bloomfield, NY, a setting that affords a rich variety of subject matter, from expansive vistas to the tiniest of natural details. She has always been fascinated by the natural world outdoors. 

Lately her passion has been to seek out interesting abstract compositions from the minutia that she finds there. She enjoys finding, capturing, and sharing with others her vision of the inherent beauty in God's creation. She prints her photographs with uniquely colored borders, specifically chosen to enhance the images. Each image is titled and signed, although these elements can be covered with a mat, if so desired.

After painting for over 30 years, I've evolved into a mixed media artist with a passion for joyful abstractions. From my lakeside studio in Honeoye, NY, I create vibrant mixed media painting and richly textured collages. My artistic voice features bold color relationships and intricate textures. Each of my collage pieces typically begins as an original abstract painting that is then transformed into a layered collage.

I have traveled extensively over the past 10 years. Those experiences have shaped my artistic perspective a great deal. My trips to Poland over the last 3 years, and organizing art classes and English lessons for Ukrainian orphans has also helped me develop a better understanding of the larger humanitarian issues around us. These experiences have helped shape my current body of work,

My family remains central to my life and art - I share our Honeoye home with my husband Doug, and our two youngest children. As a mother of seven, I draw inspiration from those around me and from the natural beauty of our lakeside community, which provides constant visual stimulation for my creative process.

I am a self-taught, emerging painter in oil and watercolors living in Canandaigua, NY and Oakland, Maine. I paint mainly landscapes and figurative scenes, especially people within a landscape, but I am turning to more abstract subjects.

For most of my life, I worked as a scientist and educator. After a near-fatal car accident, I returned to my first love of painting and never looked back. I hope that you enjoy my art.

As a multidisciplinary artist, I immerse myself in the full spectrum of creative craftsmanship, specializing in film photography and woodworking. My practice is rooted in a dedication to mastering every step of the process from restoring vintage cameras, developing film by hand, and meticulously designing and

finishing woodworking projects. Whether capturing the ephemeral beauty of light on film or shaping wood with patience and precision, my work celebrates the artistry in process and the timeless allure of tactile, intentional creation.

Amina is an Elma, NY-based artist. Her artistic focus is on Golden Age Dutch master painting, with an emphasis on floral still life. She draws most inspiration from Dutch masters Rachel Ruysch, Jan Davidsz de Heem, and Jan van Huysum. A retired physician, she has spent countless hours studying the Dutch still life technique as well as the botany and science behind rare flowers, including the “broken” Dutch tulips which served as the focal point of Dutch tulipmania. A juried artist, her work is represented by multiple galleries in the Western New York region. You can find her either in her art studio, tending to her extensive flower garden, or gallery hopping in New York City with her Manhattan-based daughter.

"Nothing compares to the ultimate joy I feel when someone takes pleasure in my work and appreciates the process I used to accomplish it". Anna Kern

Growing up on Long Island, New York, Anna's  love of art began very early in life.  At a young age, her surroundings gave her the inspiration to put crayon to paper, and thus began her artistic journey.

She now works from her studio in the Pocono Mountains where she creates bold abstracts, lush florals and wildlife using oil, acrylic, watercolor and pastels.

Art has been my muse my entire life. Since I was little I began finding my world through pencil and paper. My art covers a range of mediums that I have been taught throughout my years of school art classes and electives and my own personal studies. There isn’t one particular subject or one specific medium that visually establishes a pattern in my artwork but what is consistent in my art is that I give it my all. I find my own interest in each piece I create. I continue to broaden my understanding, knowledge and fascination with art. I hope to be able to express myself more freely in the meaning and subjects of what I create in the future. 

I am a 16-year-old ceramic artist attending Brighton High School. I fell in love with ceramics about a year and a half ago when I tried it in one of our beginner level art classes. I quickly became obsessed, trying to get into the studio as much as I possibly could. I am now the president of ceramics club at my school. I am also attending a ceramics course this summer that I hope to learn a lot from. My entire life I have loved creating things, ceramics just happens to be the medium that speaks to me and gives me the most passion. I have fun experimenting with different sizes, shapes and textures in the clay phase along with my glazing techniques. I mostly do wheel throwing but also like to experiment with hand building.
