Art making became my constant companion from an early age, as well as my tool for understanding the world and expressing my experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy art making became a ritual of finding cohesion within chaos, and deliberately crafting a sense of belonging and arrival inside of constant change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe places I have spent the most time, and that have felt most like home to me, are by the Chesapeake Bay and the Puget Sound. These inlets feel like gentle resting places, where the abundance of the ocean can be accessed without the harsh intensity of the coast. I see the images that come out of me as gentle resting places too. They’re full of complexity and depth, but without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy abstract landscapes challenge the viewer to find home, belonging, and a sense of arrival within a place that is vast, confusing, and barely there. While these landscapes are not threatening or intense, they are elusive and disorienting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI paint by gradually building multiple layers of translucent color washes, alternated with layers of tiny dots and marks. During this slow tedious process, something magical happens. Nothingness becomes a complete mess; the mess becomes a complex visual world with depth, movement, perspective, and voice. The piece itself goes through a process of becoming, similar to the development process we experience as humans. Going through this journey over and over again, with each and every painting, I have learned hope, resilience, and the skills to repair what is broken. My paintings allow me to relive this learning and to document it for the viewer. The viewer can see elements of each disconnected layer, while also seeing the layers together as a cohesive whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecently, I have started experimenting in ceramic sculpture, following similar themes and approaches. I have noticed in my paintings, the subject or figure is in an environment, whereas in my ceramic work, there are environments within a figure.

I often apply multiple layers combining the various mediums such as acrylic, ink, pastel, charcoal, etc. The painting evolves with each new layer as I proceed to clarify the message\/feeling that I want to express.

In contrast to his professional work, his studio practice is intuitive, impulsive, and deliberately unpolished. He spent twenty years experimenting with ceramics: investigating collapsed forms, thin and sharp edges, carved surfaces, and intricate glazing. In 2020, he shifted his focus to painting, working with acrylic paint, pencil, ink, and collage on canvas, paper, and wood panel. Inspired by the complexity of nature, urban environments, and human emotion, Chris builds paintings through many overlapping layers — playing gloss against matte, opacity against transparency — to create rich, emergent surfaces. While his paintings vary in style, hallmarks include bold color, gestural marks, simple shapes, silly faces, and graffiti-like writing that stand out at first glance, while the complex interplay of layers and rhythm reveals itself to patient viewers.

Working in encaustic, acrylic, 2D and 3D, all her work is rooted in elements of drawing and collage. Trained as a painter and sculptor at Northern Illinois University, Teri’s practice ranges from: quick sketches of musicians playing, large installation art for the desert, paintings of all sizes and in both mediums, printmaking and much collaging. The COVID years gave her a moment for a deep dive into collage, no limitations, which resulted in a large body of spontaneous collage work. Collage has also become a backbone of her practice as she works through composition and story with quick collages upon entering the studio for art making. Themes and subjects of Bevelacqua’s work are generally a flavor of Americana that finds its inspiration in those fragile lines in both our physical world, our social structure and the challenges we face as we universally question the way we treat each other and our home (earth). The images Teri uses in the art come from her drawing practice and interesting things she has  photographed . You may be challenged by the content of the message, but appreciate the colors, lines, style, depths, composition, dark humor and possibly a thought. There are lots of layers, literally and metaphorically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teribevelacqua\" class=\"global-button global-button--text image-text__button\"\u003e Follow on Instagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Copper Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48437063286967,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/4990\/3713\/files\/teri-bev.jpg?v=1778078002"},{"product_id":"kit-deforge","title":"\"Heron\" by Kit DeForge","description":"\u003ch4\u003e5 x 7 inches\u003cbr\u003eWatercolor, metallic ink, tailor's chalk\u003cbr\u003e$100\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:kitlaika@gmail.com\" class=\"global-button\"\u003e Contact Kit to purchase\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtist Statement:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many folk tales surrounding herons throughout the world; some about endurance and dedication, some about ego and foolishness.
