Lisa D'Amico: Sonic Heroines
Sonic Heroines Series - Every woman has a unique story that deserves to be heard and honored, yet too many have been silenced for far too long.
This series aims to challenge traditional portraiture and amplify the voices of remarkable women, both past and present on a local and global scale.
By combining my abstract backgrounds with my detailed illustrations, these hybrid portraits explore their journeys.
I am committed to painting these portraits until all their voices are heard.

Julia Bertussi: That's the Dream
That’s The Dream describes the contradictory coexistence of organic, beautiful, peaceful nature within the restrictions of normal life. Nature all around us, as well as our own natural instincts, are disrupted by the rules and regulations of being a functioning, effective individual in our society. As we each navigate our daily lives, we recognize more and more how difficult it is to be career motivated and in tune with our natural instincts simultaneously. Just as the coexistence of nature and normalcy are contradictory, so is the concept of completeness in art. In each artwork, as I explore this contradiction, I also explore and combat the nature of completeness. Everything natural and unnatural is in progress, and the coexistence of nature and normalcy -– that’s the dream.

Lynn Lauber: Faces of Nature
Art Reception: Wednesday, December 10, 4:00-6:00pm
Though most of my professional life has centered on writing and teaching, I've always taken photographs for pleasure. When I was young and lived in Ohio, I often concentrated on peoples' faces, but that changed once I moved to New York and discovered there was a resistance to being captured by a stranger on film. Since then I've photographed the faces of flowers, which I have found to have their own intimate complexity and power -- and also of animals.
"Look into nature and you'll understand everything better," Einstein once wrote.
And this belief is the underlying principle of my photographs.
My photographs have been shown in the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, the Sun Magazine, and at various libraries and businesses.
My books include White Girls, 21 Sugar Street, and Listen to Me, Writing Life into Meaning, published by WW Norton. My essays have appeared in The New York Times and other publications. I've taught creative writing for UCLA online for over 20 years.
