Yvonne Dagger

ImageYvonne Dagger’s works are defined by poignant and startling details that at first glance appear to be mysterious and even possibly inconsequential. A black and white painting that evokes a sense of history and self turned on its head by one single dot of red. Tiny boxes, that on their own and meaningless, come together to create a larger story. Dagger’s works demonstrate how the smallest elements, often at first ignored, can have the largest and most unexpected impact on how we view life.

A Long Island native, Yvonne’s passion for creating works of art began at the age of 11. However, it wasn’t until after her children were raised that she decided to follow her life long dream of becoming a professional artist.

Nicole Bigar

Quack by Nicole Bigar
"Quack" by Nicole Bigar
What are we to make of Nicole Bigar’s rather dramatic sculpture of a horse? It is certainly unexpected in her oeuvre, which is largely devoted to painting. But Bigar’s horse concentrates in its body all the energy and elegance--demonic power and suave complexity--made abstractly visible in her paintings. The sculpture does in fact have an oddly abstract expressionist fluency, as its animal curves indicate. The two raised legs form a kind of angular foil to the tense graciousness of the curved back, so reminiscent of the tomb horse figurines of T’ang dynasty China (seventh to ninth centuries).

Indeed, there is an Asiatic cast to Bigar’s horse, as she says, acknowledging her numerous trips to that continent. Bigar’s monumental horse is a kind of signature piece, all the more so because it signals her breakthrough into a new sculptural painting and her enduring commitment to the timelessly exotic figure. In traditional Chinese art the horse embodied the “inner vitality” that Chinese theorists thought was the mark of artistic quality. Bigar’s horse has this inner vitality, and so do the figures--mostly female--in her new relief paintings.

Gina Knee
Gina Knee (born Virginia Schnaufer) was born on Oct 31, 1898 to a prevalent family in Marietta, OH. Knee was raised in the mindset of the most affluent families at this time, where one was to place the family and social Hampton Photo, Art and Framingobligations above the search for self-identity and happiness. Painting and visual arts were a part of her life at a young age. Sharon Udall, her biographer, recalls Virginia’s statement: “As a child and into my teens, I always painted something-- from paper dolls to attempts at pictures of my friends or family.” As most society women raised during the 1910s, Virginia was brought up in preparation for her arranged marriage that was set in motion at an early age. Consequently, she married Goodlow Macdowell and spent ten years focusing her life around him. They went to parties, polo games and all other sophisticated activities a proper married couple at this time were supposed to participate in.

Learning to Paint Watercolors

Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art.  Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes.  Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more.

Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough.  Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added.  Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture.  Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists.

Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper.  Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper.  Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable.  Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets.  The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired.
