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

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.

3. Valley of Fire
Catherine Palmer
Acrylic on Canvas
24″x28″
(gallery wrapped /sides painted black/ wired and ready to hang)
Retail $672.00 – Non-profit $550.00 (unframed)
If framing is requested add additional $500.00 to the price for a floater frame.

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.

Layl McDill 

Garden Splash
Layl McDill
Polymer Clay, glitter, Wire on wood panel painted with acrylic.  Plexiglass cover.
24″x32″x 4″
Retail $1200. Non Profit $800

This piece was originally shown at the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.  It was created to fill a room with joy and wonderment.  It celebrates the joy of water in the garden with a fanciful giant frog and bigger than life colorful butterflies.  Gardens are a place of respite and rejuvenation but people can’t always go out into a garden so I’ve been creating and teaching nature based classes for many years.  Since 2004 I have been teaching through the University of Minnesota Nature Based Therapy program.  When I teach these classes the goal is to bring the outdoors inside and create community with a project that focuses on nature.

Tomato Joy with Friends
Layl McDill
Polymer Clay, glitter, Wire on wood panel painted with acrylic.  Plexiglass cover.
24″x32″x 4″
Retail $1200. Non Profit $800

This piece was originally shown at the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.  It was created along with three other pieces to fill a room with joy and engage the viewers in a way that would create a respite from the hard times they were experiencing.  This piece was inspired by my own tomato garden.  I have an old iron candelabra that I tie my tomatoes to when they get too tall. I always enjoy the  process and actually think of it as a work of art.  I wanted this piece to make the viewer think of the fun that can be had in a garden even when they are indoors.

How to Build a Giraffe
Layl McDill
Polymer Clay, Mica Powder, tacks, string
18″x18″x3
Retail $600   Non-profit price: $500

 

I drew this picture of this giraffe from a photo I took at a zoo. I think like many I have a love/hate relationship with zoos.  We love to get a chance to see an animal up close but we also feel bad seeing them taken out of their elements.  Zoos can be a very important tool in the conservation of endangered species and help us understand animals better.  As we attempt to keep animals from disappearing it is apparent that we can’t build animals and we have to do our best to preserve the ones we have.   I wanted this piece to be a reminder of this fact even as its title leads one to believe it is possible.  All the animals on the strings remind us of the amazing diversity we have in this world and how important it is to keep it.

12. Towers: Russia
Debra Ripp
Mixed Media Collage/Framed
34 x 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.

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.

Bronze Cloud
Debra Ripp
Wall Sculpture/Mixed Media
8″x8″
$400.00

I created this work to explore the idea of incongruity and to specifically question just how much incongruity is normal  in nature.  The idea that there could be such a thing as a bronze cloud, which wouldn’t be able to maintain suspension, is a kind of uneasy joke.

In my mind this relates to the Climate crisis and climate justice as well. We are now seeing a level of weather events that we never would have imagined a decade ago.

Two Testaments
Debra Ripp
Oil
24″x30″
$500.00

This painting in oil was completed in 1998 when I was thinking alot about spirituality and what to believe.  I chose two different kinds and shapes of vessels to point out the difference in truths, do you believe the old story or the new or neither one?

I think it speaks to the concept of Freedom of Religion and what shape that belief assumes in your life.

Barbara Bridges

The Power of the Card
Barbara Rogers Bridges
Watercolor, acrylic markers, Dr. Martin’s inks, rhinestones, gold foil
18″  x 24″
$300  

I invite you to consider your life as a deck of cards.

The deck was shuffled by forces far beyond your control — God, fate, your parents, genetics, and possibly a cosmic dealer who had already been imbibing before the game even started. However,  it happened, the cards were dealt long before you realized you were sitting at the table.

You didn’t shuffle the deck.

You just picked up your hand and hoped for the best.

But you’re still here.

Over the years you’ve played your cards as wisely as possible. You’ve discarded a few, drawn new ones, bluffed when necessary, and occasionally stared down at your hand wondering if the dealer had confused you with someone they didn’t like.

Which raises an interesting question:

What is the most powerful card in the world?

Some people immediately say a credit card. That’s a very popular answer, and also one of the most dangerous. Credit cards have financed everything from dream vacations to disastrous hair transplants, and they have a remarkable ability to turn ordinary purchases into lifelong financial relationships.

Others might choose a birthday card. There is something oddly touching about someone remembering the exact day you arrived on Earth — especially once you reach an age where you’re frankly impressed you’re still here to celebrate it.

I select the Library Card.  Can you guess why?   Read More:  https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/the-power-of-the-card/

14. 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.

15. 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.

18. Primorial Soup: Driveway Garden Meets Dyed Cashmere
Candy Kuehn
Enhanced photograph on archival paper
36″ x 32″ (framed)
$700

This is from my first Photoshop Class. I had access to a scanner. I scanned my favorite fabrics. This cashmere piece, was beautifully over-dyed many times, so I chose a lovely part that fit on the scanner. My camera picture of the garden /driveway, after the rain fit perfectly, defining the dye, felt primordial. I love swamps, They feel like art supplies, for our Earth. The pre-swamps, in our planet history, is where life began.

21. Minnesota Moths and Box Elders
Megan Moore
Oil on paper
17″ x 24″ framed to 22″ x 27″
$500
(Non-profit  price $450)

This work was completed at a time when I was focused on making a pattern effect of the composition with my subject matter. It was after a winter when our home had housed many box elders. This is an example of my approach to magical realism in still life. I was also aiming to paint more quickly and loosely, while still capturing details to engage the viewers’ eye.

Lily Pads at Night
Megan Moore
Acrylic on canvas
36″ x 48″
$1,980

This painting was made on a found canvas, from an alley in my neighborhood. The design was inspired by an Alex Katz painting, “Homage to Monet,” as well as the cobalt blue color. The moon, lily pads, and lotus flowers are common motifs in my paintings. Note the perspective shift between the bottom of the painting and the top. Life is ever changing. It is grounding to find moments of quiet stillness.

Lily Pads
Megan Moore
Acrylic on canvas
approximaetly 12″ x 25″
$425

Simple and peaceful, fish ponds with lilies have held my interest for a long time, going back before I started meditating, and reinforced now by my interest in the symbolism of the lotus blossom—growing from the mud at the bottom of the pond and opening in a full bloom. This was painted as a companion piece to my larger work “Lily Pads at Night.” There is quiet movement and stillness in this coposition.

22. Minneapolis in January
David D. Haynes
Acrylic on canvas
73 × 48 inches
$500

In January 2026, federal agents acting on behalf of the American government, and its president, shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Renée Good and Alex Pretti died exercising their rights of free speech and assembly.

After the killings, government officials defamed them as terrorists and lied about what happened; federal officials declined to cooperate with an investigation by the state of Minnesota.

“Minneapolis in January” exposes a moment when the federal government terrorized its own citizens as a political tool. The painting has no focal point, no rest for the eye; its expressive red palette suggests fury and chaos in the wake of the killings and yet the spare hints of teal also suggest hope.

Democracy can be weakened at such moments. Yet thousands of Minnesotans showed democracy can be strengthened when citizens stand united against immoral state power. This painting remembers the victims, even as the lies of a corrupt government encourage us to forget.

In mid-February, 2026, federal officials announced that the immigration enforcement action in Minneapolis (Operation Metro Surge) was ending.  https://daviddhaynesart.org/

A raw, visceral reaction to the killings in Minneapolis and the raw, visceral painting that resulted

I began work on the painting shortly after the death of Renée Good; the project gained urgency on Jan. 24 when agents killed Alex Pretti. I read all I could about what happened and watched all the horrific videos. As a former long-time journalist, I felt was my duty to do the research before moving definitively forward. What I felt in the end was a primal age at the injustice and the tragedy not only of those deaths but the very idea of invading a city with what, as Springsteen said, amounted to a private army. I came away with deep admiration for the stand that citizens of your city took.

The bright, citrusy palette of pinks, reds, magentas, greens, and oranges gives the piece an energetic feel. Each circle—crafted in the style of “wonky circles” found in quilting—is layered atop irregular, playful squares, creating a sense of movement and visual rhythm. The piece invites viewers to discover new details with each glance, offering a continually fresh viewing experience.

My painting series, Tree Hands, uses hands as roots to communicate that we are nature. What is done to nature is done to us. This specific piece, Wisdom, brings up the question about what future are we passing on to younger generations? The energy is cautionary while being hopeful. Younger generations rely on the wisdom of older generations and older generations rely on the hope of the younger generations.

My painting series, Tree Hands, uses hands as roots to communicate that we are nature. What is done to nature is done to us. This specific piece, Support, emphasizes our interconnectedness in terms of strength. Sometimes I can get caught thinking of interconnectedness as limiting instead of incredibly freeing. My fear of not being enough can cause me to feel like I limit everyone, when really – I am more than enough, as are we all. And standing together in our power, we are unstoppable.

Acrylic on Canvas

$875.00

This painting of three cranes dancing in the shallows is more than a serene scene. It is a testament to dignity, connection, and grace in a later season of life. Like these cranes, every senior deserves a supportive environment in shallow safe waters where they can move with freedom and be seen for their enduring beauty. Their dance reminds us that community, joy, and purpose are not privileges reserved for the young, but fundamental rights at every stage of life. Let us ensure our homes and society provide the space for such dances to continue.

When times are looking bad, I paint still lifes. Still do. Sometimes I buy whatever was cheapest at a florist. Sometimes I paint from memory.  Sometimes I would paint from a photograph. It doesn’t take long to lift my spirits! That’s a wonder of painting.

A Western Painting, was taken from a photo from the publication Minnesota History, from an article on wheat farming in western Minnesota or perhaps the Dakotas in the 19th century. Back when we still used horses.  Alhough I abhor what we’re doing to the atmosphere these days, I do admire the internal combustion engine from saving us that painful, exhausting drudgery.

Too cold. It was painted back in the studio.

Water can be so beautiful, peaceful, and calming.  This textured piece is in a place where the water hasn’t been polluted by the presence of humans.  The clean water sparkles in the sunlight as the faces of the mountain sides talk about the water and the changes in the weather patterns.  Global warming is still affecting the moss growth on the rock.  Can you see the faces in the rocks having a conversation?

Cherry Blossoms bloom for such a short time.  Sometimes you can see them for a week, other times it’s just for a day or two before a strong wind blows them all away.  This year ours didn’t bloom and it was full last year.  It inspired me to paint these so you can see the cherry blossoms for more than a day to a week.  We are hoping ours will bloom again next year but with global warming, it is uncertain what the effects will be on all of the trees and if we’ll see cherry blossoms again.

Textured Sunset
Denise Lau
Acrylic on canvas and wood with dimensional texture paste and sea shells
12″ x 18″
$375

No two sunsets are the same.  Sometimes when you stare at them too long you can see spots.  I see glitter in the water.  Picking up sea shells is usually one of my highlights when I go to a beach.  The scenery that you get from a day at the beach is calming, beautiful, and fleeting.  You could take a photo everyday of the same beach and it will always look different each day with the height of the waves, the positions of the clouds, the sunset, who is there, driftwood, beached animals, washed up objects, erosion, etc.  I like to capture how it looks as I see it because I know it will never be the same again.

Chasing Butterflies

Mixed Media Collage

The great joy of my childhood was being able to explore the neighborhood, playing outside from morning until dinner time. It was a different century, a time before parents had to fear letting their children play outside. We would run, climb, and play in the trees and gardens. We also trapped grasshoppers, lady bugs, and fireflies. Recognizing that like us, butterflies need to be free we never chased them. I wanted to depict a community where the children don’t need to be afraid.

Some years ago, I studied Jungian Astrology long enough to teach the fundamentals. Astrology is an ancient science, a mathematically attuned system of self-psychology. The moon is of great importance ruling tides, the womb, and the emotional body. When people think of nature, they look to the earth, but also have strong links to the heavens and the moon. The night sky is its own kind of magic.

Living in Minnesota, I’m very conscious of the changing of the season. I love summer, and dread winter. Here I try to give each season their due, appreciating the nature of each time of year, and what it makes me think of.
Spring: the emergence of new shoots, the excitement of new possibilities and growth.
Summer: it’s all about the sun- the long days of sunshine, warmth, and fullness.
Fall: Fruits mature; leaves finish their life cycle, plants put away the energy they’ve stored.
Winter: the days are short and nights are long, so it’s time to appreciate the moon and nightsky.

51. Hyde Park- at Dusk
Robin Getsug
Encaustic 11 x 14”
Framed (13″ x 16″)
$475.00

This work centers on the simple, familiar act of feeding geese and ducks—an interaction that is often overlooked, yet quietly layered with meaning. The scene carries a sense of calm and beauty,where acts of kindness intersect with structures that are uneven and, at times, unjust.  There is undeniable beauty. The gathering of birds, the shared spaces, the moments that offer a sense of connection and joy.

Nonprofit Price: $125

This is my memory of Cucumber Falls, as it flows down Cucumber Run into the Youghiogheny River. In spring and fall when the water is high, you can walk behind the falls where sound, smell and feeling of water droplets in the air, give a sense of peace and solitude. One can imagine going back in time to a place before colonialism. Youghiogheny is a Lenape (Delaware) word roughly translated as “a stream flowing in a contrary direction.” it is one of four major rivers in Pennsylvania that flow northward. Made with repurposed materials.

Jillian Collins

SOLD. Internal Spiral
Jillian Collins
mixed media, upcycled/repurposed materials
20″W X16″H X 5″D–enclosed shadow box dimensions
$650

This piece is called “Internal Spiral”. It is a handcrafted 3D mixed-media diorama using raw, upcycled, and repurposed materials.  It measures 11.5″x8.75” (closed) and 11.5” x 15.75” (fully open) and can free stand without being fully open. I think tiny things capture an essence of nostalgia, reminders of things and dreams from the past. They also represent a desire for things present, those things we wish for now but perhaps the only practical way to obtain such dreams come in the form of a miniature. This piece encompasses all of those things. Nostalgic memorabilia wrapped up in a cozy setting, just as appealing to me now as when I was a child. I can hear my grandfather’s grandfather clock as I wander past, peeking at the notes in the box, smelling the coffee on the table, then ascending the whimsical spiral staircase in search of the next adventure. There’s that desire, almost an ache, that long-lasting daydreams bring with it. Taking such a vision and building it into a tiny reality fulfills a small part of that desire.

This series invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the extraordinary beauty of Minnesota’s moths and butterflies. Through close observation, these drawings celebrate the intricate details and remarkable adaptations of creatures that are often overlooked.

Each moth and butterfly is paired with flowers and plants found or cultivated in Minnesota, highlighting the relationships between pollinators and the landscapes they inhabit. While these insects are often seen as symbols of transformation and renewal, I am in awe of the complexity and beauty of even our smallest creatures.
