The Japanese ideals of <em>wabi-sabi</em>, a prominent philosophy of Japanese aesthetics, also play a role in inspiring her work. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">As an artist, Meyer views art as a form of communication that has a power beyond that of words. Through imagery she attempts to portray ideas that words cannot, like the archetypal beauty that connects all things. Her work attempts to create a positive experience for the viewer, while also making a positive commentary on the world. She believes that the preservation of nature is what will allow for the survival of humanity and the more we ignore the natural beauty around us the further we are from our natural state of being. Meyer views <em>wabi-sabi</em> as an ideal that connects humanity to nature.<br /><br />“To me, <em>wabi-sabi</em> changes the worldview of western civilization. Things we normally view as negative become beautiful. Loneliness, old age, and death become beautiful because they are inevitable and represent the constant flux of the universe.” Meyer attempts to address this idea of the movement of eternity through her landscapes. The constant change of the seasons, the cycles within nature, to her, represents an immanent relationship between all things that exist. Her work urges the viewer to contemplate the relationship between oneself, nature, and the universe.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Please visit the artist's website for more information: <a href="http://karimeyer.com/index.html">click here</a>.</span></div></div>BCAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13986431561268556201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444222695816772963.post-63628594870555021372010-06-22T13:30:00.000-04:002010-06-23T20:22:43.581-04:00Stanley Maltzman "Woodcock"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BvEyOkCRCYBgXa7VDn2okYZCb62Lm65cZrbhcIxsF-a3hJ0c1JwQBXWotkKqfNDtMjkpGdRpXny9US_tnXFs1nZMvSTbe8q5B3efAT4Teisum3PxTLeSYyV3VqNZAPlkHXVN8EF95Pk/s1600/Maltzman+woodcock.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 301px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484127423440734866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BvEyOkCRCYBgXa7VDn2okYZCb62Lm65cZrbhcIxsF-a3hJ0c1JwQBXWotkKqfNDtMjkpGdRpXny9US_tnXFs1nZMvSTbe8q5B3efAT4Teisum3PxTLeSYyV3VqNZAPlkHXVN8EF95Pk/s320/Maltzman+woodcock.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Stanley <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Maltzman</span></span> <span style="font-family:arial;">(American, b. 1921)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Woodcock</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">lithograph (A/P)<br />22.5"x21.5" (framed)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Value: $500</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Maltzman</span> is a nature/landscape <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">plein</span> air artist who works most often in pastel, watercolor, charcoal and pencil.

Sometimes referred to as an “Outsider” artist, Nap's style has also been labeled “folk,” although neither do his versatility justice. He and his work as a whole defy labels. He has a recognizable, sometimes dark sense of humor and his subject matter is mostly animals, sometimes humans, and often incorporates text. Nap has recently been illustrating children’s books, and is exploring performance art grounded in his brand of poetic humor and spoken word and occasionally through music media.</span>BCAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13986431561268556201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444222695816772963.post-80584969861723546032010-06-20T13:35:00.000-04:002010-06-23T20:22:23.874-04:00Tom Cullins "Morning"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbVnk-z3313Y9FdCTCH9SR3Ea7vFV5MMyqUWRpBLfKkGvcT_f77SLVdRRERYxfmYCOj5N5ly45PAOrC_L8ctARFWx9tK1Uzm_t65CltXcZAbIAGhrQoGi-3-xLLjtSUMM_uQ2MXdikurY/s1600/Cullins.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 115px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483552370277861058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbVnk-z3313Y9FdCTCH9SR3Ea7vFV5MMyqUWRpBLfKkGvcT_f77SLVdRRERYxfmYCOj5N5ly45PAOrC_L8ctARFWx9tK1Uzm_t65CltXcZAbIAGhrQoGi-3-xLLjtSUMM_uQ2MXdikurY/s320/Cullins.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Tom Cullins</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><em>Morning</em>, 2010</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">acrylic on paper</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">11"x21" (framed)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Value: $400</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">For over 40 years, Tom Cullins was dedicated to the highest standards of architectural design.

Over the past few years, he has begun to show his artwork in Vermont, as well as with the Voukariani Gallery on the island of Kea in Greece, where he and his wife have a summer home. For Tom, creativity is vital and is the spirit that keeps life invigorating and exciting.

He began using artistic expression as a release from the conventions of his design practice, exploring abstract painting, two-dimensional collages and metal assemblage as part of the design process for specific projects. What originated as a hands-on testing ground for the properties of materials has evolved into a simple love for creating art. Wagner’s work draws from the pure abstraction of the visual world into the repetition of objects, order of grids, and textures. He lives and practices art in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br />Please visit the artist's website for more information: <a href="http://www.hkeithwagner.com/">click here</a>.BCAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13986431561268556201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444222695816772963.post-22457966757277709462010-06-08T13:56:00.000-04:002010-06-23T19:40:27.227-04:00Sara Katz, "Untitled Farm"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWK5tu_C49tJ58Kx31EwnnLsmon14MLisef9gh339fM-NrFSNgW-_yZMIg8RJf43BYEYr5MTRoXCB0edeozOG1fCZt4_JUhfELYF7yp1f98EO6dJ9Vuj5fm1FiF4CA1jpHQGmtVuGa7to/s1600/sarakatzauction.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485314456803325170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWK5tu_C49tJ58Kx31EwnnLsmon14MLisef9gh339fM-NrFSNgW-_yZMIg8RJf43BYEYr5MTRoXCB0edeozOG1fCZt4_JUhfELYF7yp1f98EO6dJ9Vuj5fm1FiF4CA1jpHQGmtVuGa7to/s320/sarakatzauction.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Sara <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Katz</span><br /><em>Untitled Farm</em>, 2010 </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">oil on board<br />24"x24”</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Value: $750<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Sara <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Katz</span>’s paintings are characterized by wide-open spaces punctuated by vertical and often repetitious suggestions of human presence.

Her primary medium is graphite on paper, though she has, over the last decade, turned to printmaking, an example of which is offered here.

This process is a practice in the transference of intuitive energy.
