"My artwork is a distillation of nature....it's colors, textures, and even my own interpretation of the real thing! In this show, I am featuring some of my nature prints. These are one of a kind images using the actual plants to print from. By working with several plates (flat pieces of Plexiglass) I can create layers of various images of them overlaying the plants that have picked up the ink and using the negative space the plants have created to utilize the next color I print. Enjoy!"

LEEZA MOSSEY
"Born and raised in Vermont, I came to appreciate the wealth of beauty that surrounded me growing up. Encouraged by my father, I became interested in drawing at an early age. In oil painting, color, value, and brush stroke are so important because they set the mood for my painting and express what I want the viewer to see and experience. If I'm trying to capture a cold gray winter day, I want the viewer to feel the cold; if a hot summer day, I want the viewer to feel the heat."
ROBIN MASSEY
Robin creates strange, dreamlike images using mixed media that tend to be unsettling. She works primarily in the black and white darkroom, but also incorporates other techniques including polaroid emulsion lifts and pen/ink drawings. She graduated from Bennington College in 2008 with a bachelor of arts with a strong focus in photography. Massey also studied in Florence during the summer of 2007. Robin lives in Northern Vermont where she works on her art.
