Katja Oxman. American
"Oxman’s still life’s allude to a tranquil, interior world. Their unidentifiable space serves as miniature rooms where seemingly nothing occurs beyond their perimeters. …Each composition is filled with an elegant and a deeply personal array of objects."

Elizabeth Jayne Peak. American, born 1952
"Elizabeth Jayne Peak is a gifted printmaker whose precise and controlled
technique and compelling vision combine in handsome etchings of
the modern landscape...What is striking is that an evocative,
romantic mood prevails despite the strict, formal organization
of each print and the artist's meticulous, painstaking manner...In
all her work, she seems to be striving to reconcile the specific
everyday subject with its broader symbolic meanings." Alan Shestack

Gabor Peterdi. Hungarian/American, 1915–2001
"My experience with the graphic arts began with engraving. I fell
in love with it and I engraved for several years before I made
my first etching. This self-imposed limitation had no reason other
than the fascination of exploring thoroughly this pure and powerful
technique. When I began to work with the various methods of etching,
I became aware of the immense range of this medium, and plunged
into a period of feverish experimentation. Today I think I can
say without much exaggeration that I have made prints with practically
every known major process in graphic art." |

Joseph Raffael. American, born 1933
"For Joseph Raffael, an esteemed and widely-exhibited artist, the natural world has provided thematic material as well as companionship. Lily ponds, gardens and fish are particular favorites and they are ideal showcases for studies in color, design and composition. Raffael's large-scaled works are intricate and precise yet they invoke a sense of the spiritual as well as the real. They are somehow universal and specific at the same time.
