Lynn Gitter classically trained in woodstock NY.  A best seller at OmniHum Gallery known for her historical works based off buddhism, Greek Goddesses, and landmarks. Lynn Gitter is a true scholar and now retired to focus deeper on her buddhist practices

An aesthetic influence for me has been with the Imagist School of Chicago, however my work has taken its own path into uncharted territory. 

My paintings are a kind of Kabuki of forms, often have a totemic, iconic expression.

An unlikely, but inevitable, intersection of elements from primitive nature and the human presence, toward a philosophical whole.

Artist friends have commented on the humor and inventiveness of the way things are put together, pointing to the pure ideas behind the resolved work.

Some years spent living in Zen Monastic communities and solitary retreats in the wilderness have also lent a certain feeling of relatedness to the natural world and the paintings have since been marked by these experiences.

I am an artist born of the sciences. Raised by an engineer and a hydrologist, I began avidly painting as a teenager and began my college studies in fine art. Seeking an understanding of the troubled human condition, I shifted my focus to the sciences, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science and a minor in studio art. Through my subsequent experiences in genetics research, science education as well as health care, I became aware of the undeniable connection between human health and nature. Studying as an herbalist in both the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, I attempted to heal this lost connection to the earth. 

​

After a decade of searching for meaning and purpose through work in the healing sciences, I realized the one practice that consistently brought me fulfillment and connection to the present moment was painting. Answering a deeper calling to the creative life and allowing myself to release the socially informed expectations that I would pursue a career in science I committed to painting full time. Since then I have shown work in galleries throughout the southwest including Exhibit 208, Zendo, and Matrix Fine Art in Albuquerque, New Mexico, The HeArt Box in Flagstaff Arizona and Exhibizone on Biafarin's Online Exhibition. I was chosen as a distinguished artist published in Art Ascent's International Art Magazine and my work was included in the Pumphouse Pilot Program of the Fountain Hills Public Art Program.

My science background continues to shape and inform my approach to my creative work. For example, while working at an art supply store in Albuquerque New Mexico, I became so curious about the ingredients of paint that I began collecting my own pigment and experimenting with various processes to refine and incorporate them into my paintings. This project provided opportunity to collaborate with artists of various mediums; our common interest in color bringing us together to process pigments from natural sources.

Sara was born in Minneapolis, MN. She moved around the midwest United States during her childhood, living in Tennessee and Michigan. Her recent adult life was spent in Cincinnati, where she was introduced to the underground arts and upcycled fashion scene, which had a huge impact on her. She is now working out of a garage somewhere in Taos, NM. In this new chapter, she is learning from the rich traditions of art and spirituality in New Mexico to inspire her work. She has been working with oil paints since age 16, self-taught besides high school art lessons.

“In my art, I search for the soul of humanity. I find it in our relationships with the land and with each other. Through a blend of abstract and impressionist styles, I capture the physical and emotional landscapes that define our existence.

My work explores the dialogue between nature and civilization, between freedom and oppression, and the enduring bonds that shape our collective identity.

Through introspection and empathy, I challenge my viewers to contemplate their relationships with the world around them. My art seeks to foster a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness- our profound capability for beauty and pain, encouraging reflection on our place in humanity.”

Taos Pueblo Sculptor and student of local legend John Suazo, Augustine has been hand-carving for over 40 years. His work is inspired by his love of animals and real-life experiences, like time with his horses or hunting a buck.

Juniper Vaughn is an artist and a student of earth sciences and human-ecological wellness based in northern New Mexico. She refers to her work as “Ecological Arts” since both it and the field of Ecology explore patterns and relationships between systems of living and nonliving things. By working with site-specific materials, such as soils and rocks for pigments, her work offers perspectives which can deepen and expand our appreciation and interaction with the natural world. Her educational background allows her to be a bridge between environmental sciences and the arts, using the arts — with an emphasis on the materials — as an instrument to incite more awareness, understanding, and reverence for life.

​

Juniper was born and raised in rural Texas and received a scholarship award in Fine Arts from Midwestern State University in 2017 but went on to study environmental sciences. She is currently a online student working toward a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health & Wellness Management from Unity Environmental University and will graduate in the Fall of 2024. Using this training as well as her skills and experience in art, she is taking steps toward starting the “Ecological Arts Project”, which would eventually provide a research space where artists could connect their work to the natural world by regeneratively harvesting, mining, and crafting their own materials, and then processing and working with them on site. Her work has been exhibited at Midwestern State University, Austin Community College in Texas, the Harwood Museum of Art, and most recently, in the “Devotion” group exhibition at Omnihum Gallery in Taos, New Mexico, where she was an artist in residence from March-June 2024.

Completely self-taught, I began oil painting because it was the only thing that seemed to help me during a traumatic time in my life. My subject matter has been greatly influenced by Jungian psychology and alchemical philosophy, both of which have provided me with a symbolic language to interpret otherwise ineffable sensations and impressions. Alchemy is a sacred art of union between the Above and Below, which I have explored in-depth through my creative process. As physical, mental, and emotional transmutation takes place within me, it is projected externally onto the canvas, distilling a psycho-spiritual process into its visual quintessence. Every painting is the end result of a visceral, lived experience that deepens my understanding of what it means to be human, of immortal essence and mortal form.

The aim of the alchemical work, called the Magnum Opus, is to free the authentic Self to be in alignment with its perfect, divine, unified nature, and to awaken the creative potential and power of the human imagination. Behind all of my work is the intention of sharing this fundamental understanding with unapologetic authenticity and beauty, and to support others in their own awakening process.

From a very young age Teresa Gostanza was always intrigued with the dream state, creating imaginary worlds which on many occasions transferred into her art work.

Teresa’s inner thought-provoking passion inspired within her works brings an expansion and growth at a subconscious level. There is a depth within each layer of her works that unfolds right in front of the viewer.

However, just when you think you understand her mind as you unfold your own conclusions, there is an uncanny feeling that you haven’t even touched the truth of her creations.

Her works tease your very soul by expecting an answer when in fact there is no answer. Only a deep subconscious understanding that things aren’t as they seem, creating an urge to want more, and to go as deep within as you allow yourself to.

One of her primary goals is to bring that expansion from within and connect the highest purpose and good of humanity and this earth, at a time of evolutionary consciousness.

We are surrounded by so much beauty and potential that is overlooked with the mind of struggle and chaos. It is a constant challenge to be in the state of love, gratitude and compassion. That being known, the work I create is from a spiritual perspective and a focused intention. The ease at which this work flows from thought to creation is a testimony of a universal language, one that is all knowing and rooted in sacred wisdom. 

  As an artist I seek inspiration from the wonders of nature and the cosmic world around us. A simple line, visual or musical can alter the mind, a shape or sound can satisfy desire. Minimal and complete, this work encourages one to remember the sacredness of love and at the same time, abstract enough to invoke a dream.

Whether painting from pure imagination,  from photographs or en plein air, Lawrence enjoys covering diverse surfaces from canvases to furniture with her colorful, spiritually inspired, exuberant work, designed either to soothe or to motivate action.

 Born in East Liverpool, Ohio on the Ohio River in 1950,  I moved with my family to New Jersey when I was twelve, knowing since five that I wanted to be an artist.  After getting a B.A. in Studio/Applied Art at Goucher College in 1972, I went on to do some post graduate study at The Maryland Institute, College of Art, including a brief stint at The Hoffberger Graduate School of Painting.  Since I loved the process of making art yet never felt fully synced with the established career path on the East Coast, it was easy, in 1982, for visions of the Southwest to uproot me and bring me to New Mexico, where I felt "home."  

      Happily, I concluded my time in Baltimore with a show at The Grimaldis Gallery, distinguished punctuation to the transition from familiar grounds to an expanding unknown.  I soon bought a truck and headed out with camping gear to The Land of Enchantment.  

      While living in various areas of the State, including Las Vegas, I have maintained New Mexico as my home ever since. I continue to find the open skies, broad landscapes and peaking mountains conducive to stretching myself beyond personal, previously accepted boundaries both in creating art and in learning about life itself.

Artist Statement:
My artwork is influenced by many lineages of sacred and archaic art from around the world - from the mandalas of Tibetan Buddhism, to the stained-glass of Medieval Christianity, to the sand-paintings of the Navajo Indigenous traditions, to the ancient Aboriginal rock art, and even to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
I blend my passion for ancient and sacred art with my own intuitive capacities to create my unique style of painting.
My work has been referred to as 'Hieroglyphs of The Heart'. It expresses something that is both primordial and child-like, while remaining sophisticated, created with deep sensitivity and intention. I see my work as a form of prayer.
These paintings have become a way for me to connect with the language of my intuition, as I see them as a bridge between my conscious and unconscious mind.
Over the years, I have incorporated more Earth-based themes into my work as my relationship with nature has deepened. My style has developed into something whimsical, yet tribal and magical. I believe that there is magic operating through the kingdoms of the Earth, and I feel passionate about restoring our connection to the love and intelligence that sustain them.
Behind each piece, there is a story. There is an intention. There is a prayer. My pieces are created to heal, through helping us bridge our inner and outer worlds for a greater sense of wholeness.
This work has been profoundly healing for me to create. I know if it has been healing for me, then it will be healing for others as well.
