If framing is requested add additional $500.00 to the price for a floater frame.

I am an acrylic painter for whom process is more important than concept or narrative.I use color and texture on canvas or panels, starting with free flowing gestures.  I like making a mess and pulling out composition from there.  My work is influenced almost entirely by the act of painting itself, and is spontaneously molded by internal and external forces.  Once I know the path of the painting I slow down my pace and make refining marks from there.  I strive to evoke a sense of looking into space or floating through space.

Retail $672.00 – Non-profit $550.00 (unframed)

This work is derived from the beautiful landscapes of the New Mexico desert.
I was fortunate to participate in an Artist in residency through Gallery 408 in Carrizozo, New Mexico.
While I was there, I visited a variety of local parks. The Valley of Fire is an old lava field. The surroundings of the park captures an interesting mix of terrain: the yukka, carrizozo grasses and hardened rolling rocky lava. The landscape was incredible to see first hand. Influenced by my experience I created this painting.

Artwork Statement: Many of us have experienced that bond between animal and human.  I wanted this piece to be a celebration of a dog’s life.  The dog in this piece is so free he even has a pair of wings.  Some might see this as a story of a dog that has passed but I see it as showing the joy that one feels when they see the joy that a dog has as it leaps through the air- with or without wings.

15. Orbs Among the Hillocks
Debra Ripp
Pastel and Graphite on paper:Framed
“14.5x 18.5”
$250

Orbs among the Hillocks came about as an observation of nature combined with an imaginative exercise. What if these hillocks were visited by something that doesn’t belong with hillocks. For example, what if some oranges rolled in among the hillocks.  Would that be as incongruous as a piece of trash?  I think it might, and that is my point, trash doesn’t belong with other natural forms.

I am a Mixed Media artist which means I am willing and love to explore all possible media, anything that will make the image emerge stronger and obtain the voice it is meant to have. My favorite thing is to vacillate between media and observe how the image can transform and mature as it is manifested in different clothes, so to speak.

16. Rock Slumber
Debra Ripp
Mixed Media Collage on Canvas
“12×12”
$200

Rock Slumber is an observation and a  contemplation of nature. I am fascinated with how these rocks get stacked up on each other and how once they settle into each other.   They seem to sleep on top of each other, they find their place and never move.  This observation is to honor the constant presence of natural process, inert or not, and how nature can be appreciated.

17. Towers: Russia
Debra Ripp
Mixed Media Collage/Framed
“34×40”
$800

Towers is a mixed media collage about imaginary travel. There was a time that I wanted to travel when I had no funds to do so.  So, I decided that I would collage my way there,  a method of finding another path when the typical way is obstructed.  I also wanted to reveal aspects of a place that wasn’t one dimensional.  It’s about how a place can have wondrous beauty and reveal tragedy at the same time.

18. Carousel SOLD
Liisa Lê
Acrylic on Canvas, 2023
30” x 24” x 1 ½”
Retail: $1,620.00
Non profit price: $1,120.00

This painting titled “Carousel” depicts two sandhill cranes dancing in a vibrant wetland, symbolizing the grace and resilience of their communities. Just as these majestic birds rely on the wetland for survival, so too do many underserved communities depend on their environments for sustenance and cultural heritage. The cranes’ dance is a powerful metaphor for the nurturing and care that all voices deserve. Protecting wetlands is not just an environmental imperative; it is an act of social justice that acknowledges the deep connections between nature and community and its vast diversity. By advocating for the health of these ecosystems, we stand in solidarity with those who are often overlooked, ensuring that every individual and community can thrive in harmony with the natural world.

Live a Considered Life

The Wise Ones (No Silos) and The Un-Wise Ones (Think Alike Silo)
24” X 36” 2 works.
Mixed Media  Fabricated clay, wood, found objects
$1000

Inspired by my “Motivationals” series,  Live a Considered Life  includes two companion works of  gender neutral personages sharing how living  in a “think alike silo” creates  a colorless boring culture feeding on itself. They see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing.  Embracing the concept of “no silos” produces a  colorful evolving culture full of a positive exchange of ideas, help creating our own personal narratives and leading to positive social change.

“We tell ourselves the tragic story of our lives and then think we can justify us playing the role of the “broken hero” or the “grizzled realist” but the fact of the matter is that if this is the story we chose to tell about ourselves we are leaving out the good parts and doing a terrible disservice to ourselves and anyone who has been good to us along the way.“  Morgan Bridges

It is our choice how we create our own narratives – past, present and future. It is our choice to make each day bring a spot of joy.  Plan each day with a joy experience included. For yourself and for others.

Life is a menu.  When something you love goes off the menu, replace it with something even more soulful.

20. Wings

Barbara Bridges
18” x 80”    5 part Series   or could be hung separately.
Assemblage -Mixed Media
$500 non-profit   $800 retail

Wings  examines the concept of “Love”.  Many have tried  to define this word. Love encompasses a range of strong  and positive emotions. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of  partner, which differs from the love for food.

As biological human beings, we have a capacity for all different  kinds of  
LOVE

You have the power to identify your version of love and then to  let it take wing.

Bridges has been an artist and a teacher/college professor for over 40 years. Her social  practice sculptures have been exhibited in Maine, Miami, the Virgin Islands, Maryland, Chicago, Mexico, Spain, Canada, and throughout Minnesota.

Happy Home

24” x 48”    2024
Assemblage -Mixed Media
$800  non-profit  $1200 retail

This mixed media work employs paint and  inks to create a landscape window behind the Happy Home found object.

Definition of  the word “Home” :  the place where one  lives permanently, especially as a member of a family  or household.  How do you make a house a home?  Add art!

The artwork Home  is framed by what I call found power  objects.  I combined these objects, which already have a  story, into a new narrative.  Each time you look at the frame,  you will find new meanings.

In this series of paintings my goal was to use a very limited color palette and as minimal of a stroke as possible to convey energy. They were very fun to make and I do feel the energy from each piece.

As a Black artist I want to show Black joy instead of focusing on the trauma and dark history of our people. I enjoy working in many layers and being able to see the layers peaking through which is really an analogy to the human condition and people being complex and made up of so many layers. We are not a monolith and have full range of emotion and complexity.

In this series, the goal was to get back to painting after the covid lockdowns and being basically at home and masked for so long. I needed to feel that freedom again to just let the paint go where it wanted to go and what ties them all together is the white circle which represents us as people. We are all in this together.

This piece is my largest painting to date and I wanted to experiment using the largest canvas that would fit in my vehicle. I also used three different sizes of grit texture to really push the surface texture and create a relief in an interesting way without having to rely on color for interest. This was a very physical piece because of the scale and surface texture and it still taps into my other works in that it connects me to joy.

22. Daughters of the Dust #5

20×31
$1,500 retail, $500 for non profits

Daughters of the Dust is a 1991 independent film written, directed and produced by Julie Dash and is the first feature film directed by an African-American woman to be theatrically released in the United States.  Set in 1902, it tells the story of three generations of Gullah (also known as Geechee) women in the Peazant family on Saint Helena Island as they prepare to migrate off the island, out of the Southern United States, and into the North.

I watched the film a few years ago, it’s a magical film, and I was also entranced by the visuals.  I painted a series based on scenes from the movie – both in paint and by photoing what I saw on my TV.  It’s a story of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

Owen Brown was born in Chicago, trained as a classical musician, took his first art class at 23, and much of what he’s wanted to do since then has been paint.

Brown holds degrees from Yale College and the University of Chicago, and was a degree student at California College of the Arts. He lived for over 30 years in San Francisco, where he was represented by Meridian Gallery. He now lives in Minneapolis.   owenbrownartist.com

25. Earthrise: Slate Dump Ridge SOLD

Acrylic on Canvas
20” x 20”
$300

 (Non-profit  price $200)

I chase the the call of hireath, a Welsh word loosely translated that means a longing for a place one cannot quite find. I have felt it since I was a small child digging in the creek bed and wondering “What wide place will I find at the end?” I answer the call of that timeless place in my journeys in clay and paint.

This painting is born of a dream I had of a slate dump behind the barn on the hillside behind our home, growing up. Portions of the family farm had been room and pillar mind in the 1940s, long before the DEP took a role in assuring that the land would be brought back to what it was before it was mined.

Many years before this disruption the people known as Algonquin burned their home fires before the White man dispersed them across the US and Canada… and before this plants and small creatures left their mark in the fossils we found as children roaming the hillsides. Our Earth holds many ancient stories…

I scribbled the background as I felt emotion in the story and his process. I think one of the most beautiful things we can do for each other is listen and love each other. I painted a figure to continue the process. Now she is here to listen. I believe storytelling is a powerful tool that can help us heal as a community.

Rest and relaxation are crucial for mental and physical well-being. In urban settings with high stress levels,having a quiet peaceful space, contributes to better public health outcomes: Creating spaces for relaxation fosters community engagement and social cohesion. When people have safe, pleasant places to gather and relax, it strengthens neighborhood bonds and promotes a sense of belonging, and positive quality of life.

In conclusion, ensuring that all urban residents have access to spaces for rest and relaxation is a statement of social justice itself, in a city, Minneapolis that is healing, we all need a safe place to breathe and relax..

Statement about art and the artist-

The peace dove has been a powerful symbol in both art and social justice movements for decades. From Picasso “La Colombe”, the doves symbolize peace, hope and tranquility. In the story of Noah;s ark, the dove carrying an olive branch,  harkens the beginning of peace and reconciliation. Doves have been a symbol for global peace movements, emphasizing harmony, unity and non-violence. This piece depicts an innocent child with her peace dove friends. This symbolism expressing a universal message to evoke emotion and a call for peace in a troubled world.

My work is made on the iPhone with apps, since iPhone 3 (it’s now an iPhone Pro Max 15) I fix if needed in Photoshop, and make bigger in Toaz GigaPixel AI….All over the world, using these smart phone, Artists are messing in apps, (As seen in Instagram). A very similar impulse, as people in Pictoralist groups, (messing in the Darkroom, with chemicals) from early 1900’s to about 1950’s.

Floating Ideas is a meditation on the amazing and critical oceanic environments that sustain our planet.

Sweeping lines and layered shapes create a sense of movement and depth, like currents swirling beneath the surface. The painting captures the energy and rhythm of the sea, inviting viewers to dive into an abstract world where ideas float and drift like waves in the ocean.

47. River

Framed 18″ x 24″
$500 for non-profits, $800 retail

When faced with challenging times, I have often found myself in need of balance and support.  Over time, I’ve developed deep connections with nature, spirituality, and the arts, especially music.  For this piece, I  created an image of a powerful, compassionate Buddha channeling the power of music to a female violinist, riding a radiantly beautiful orange koi fish.  It’s good to know that in troubling times, we can learn to call on our personal symbols, whatever they may be, to imbue us with  comfort, security, and peace of mind – and the willingness to endure our challenges with grace and gratitude.

Framed 18″ x 24″
$500 for non-profits, $800 retail

 

When I was a little girl, I was terrified of insects.  As I grew older, I learned that insects are an important and beautiful part of our world. I was able to appreciate how they work together in harmony with each other and with nature in amazing ways.  Indeed, humanity could not survive without them.  In this image, a cricket leads a choir of smaller imaginary insect-beings, holding leaves for musical scores.  My understanding and appreciation for insects and for all creatures of the nature has given me a feeling of integration with our world.  May all human beings learn to live in harmony with each other as we take a lesson from the insects!

49. Social Justice in Every Age
SAM Greene
Digital Image
Framed 18″ x 24″
$500 for non-profits, $800 retail

In every age and in every country, humankind has dealt with issues of social justice. In the 1600s, Manchu warriors ruled China on horseback.  Chinese men were forced to shave the front of their heads and wear their hair in a braid as an act of subjugation.  This practice did not conclude till hundreds of years later.  Immigrants headed for America have faced hardship from earlier times right through to the present day, whether laboring on railroads or plantations. We celebrate our ancestors for the trials that they overcame.  So many of us are here because of what our predecessors endured.  Let us think of them often.
