Insights about one of our artists, Sandra Hill

Edge & Depth by Sandra Hill 

"Four years ago I fell in love again and rediscovered the joy of art. I have been a happy camper ever since. With this rebirth, I got brave enough to enter juried shows and was pleasantly surprised when I started receiving awards for my art. From realistic to totally abstract, I seek to stretch perceptions of our world." Ms. Hill is receiving increased recognition for her work through awards and commissions. Her work is widely displayed and exhibited in southwest Ohio and the Washington, DC area.

She studied art at the Chicago Art Institute and with many nationally known artists. Sandra enjoys sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge through teaching painting and has taught children, adults and handicapped students. She also had a cable television show in the DC area.

The piece titled “Edge and Depth” is currently on exhibit at the 2011 Central Virginia Watercolor Guild juried show in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"Cryptos I" by Linda Maldonado

Cryptos I by Linda Maldonado

"Cryptos I”, a vivid painting on canvas by Linda Maldonado, is representative of Linda's experimental work with acrylics and collage. Layers of colors applied to a textured surface build to a rich and exciting finished effect. Elements of the painting are alternately revealed and veiled, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Like many of Linda's recent works, “Cryptos I” presents an abstract image based on imagination, intuition, and endless possibilities.
