November 2, 6:00-10:00pm, Christina Goodmanwas born in Pisa, Italy, to American parents. She grew up near Washington D.C. and New Orleans, attended Colorado College, and received a studio art degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz.
"I compose and paint the miniatures using references from a collection of art books as well as museum visits. I am particularly drawn to the landscapes and details in paintings by Giovanni Bellini, Lorenzo Lotto, Dosso Dossi and Jan Van Eyck.
To produce the miniature images, I use very fine brushes, good lighting and a magnifier. I use acrylic paint as it dries quickly and allows me to work on a small scale.
The frame designs for the one of a kind polyptychs and tabernacles are also based on Renaissance styles. I design and build the frames with wood using miniature moldings and a centuries old water gilding technique. The result is well worth the labor-intensive process. In the end, I hope to capture the luminosity of Renaissance painting in miniature."

November 2nd, 6:00-10:00 pm, Jean Plough studied painting with Warren Rohrer at Philadelphia College of Art where she earned a BFA Her paintings refer to states of mind, as well as physical locations . If we can open ourselves to the possibility of what may be, our surroundings can have a limitless potential to engage and involve us. As a result, the earth can be seen and experienced as a beautiful place, and it can inspire us in ways we may not understand, but can certainly appreciate.
I also practice meditation , and I'm interested in the center that meditation seems to create, and what happens around this center. Sometimes I focus on the relationships or spaces between people and objects, but I use the landscape format as a vehicle, and I usually use a square shaped canvas. I prefer the square because it doesn't need to have a top or bottom orientation, and it can be viewed from any side, or vantage point . My work has been influenced by Warren Rohrer, Mark Rothko, Richard Diebenkorn, and Willem DeKooning. A radiating, intangible, positive quality is what I hope to impart to viewers through my paintings.
