Participating Artists
Amy Fenton - Mixed-Medium, Painting, Collage
Kingston, NY based visual artist, Amy Fenton, has been developing her way of seeing for decades. Amy previously spent years touring the world as a dancer with the critically acclaimed “Fiddle Puppet Dancers”, a percussive dance company that innovatively reinterpreted traditional dance forms. The “Fiddle Puppet Dancers” were chosen by the Smithsonian Institution to represent American culture in Japan.
Amy brings the same impulse as expressed in her dancing, a well-composed ensemble of elements, to her visual art. As a starting point, with photography, Amy captures the rich beauty of the natural world, old buildings and impressions of of daily life. It is with the same sensibility, that her collages, mixed media work and paintings emerge. She has developed a strong sense of design with which the elements of the artwork don’t merely exist on their own, but truly become intertwined into a satisfying and elegant conclusion.
Amy exhibits her work locally and it is included in private collections.

Carol Cramer - Painting
I have been making art most of my life. In one form or another. Painting, drawing, working with flowers & gardening, continually exploring medias and imagery. Most recently I have been working on small abstract pieces that are made through a process of layering paint, paper, wax, then sanding & reworking each until it has lost its original meaning. Lost in the chronology between creation and decay. Leaving a worn and weathered memory.

Jennifer Levine - Painting
My artwork is informed by my experience of being a woman and a mother, and inspired by goddess statuary from the cycladic period. Making for me faith - where a sacred, tender hand soothes the unresolved. The paintings, drawings and encaustics I create are a conversation between my conscious self and my unconscious, history and the present.
As with surrealist’s automatism, my studio process is unrehearsed. I start by setting certain artistic boundaries regarding color, size and medium and then play with variations. I see my artistic process as an extension of my meditation practice. Through both, I experience a state of transcendence and flow. The resulting work is the experience made tangible through color, line and image
