Multimedia immersive art forms ‘Immersive art experience’ has become a ‘trendy’ exploration of emerging media, AI, and unexpected displays. Virtual reality and video games are taking art icons such as Van Gogh and Frieda Kahlo into their realms. Embedded, sensory overload kicking in, the viewer reacts not by observation and contemplation, but by ‘immersion’ – […]
A monoprint assembly Can a monochromatic ‘pallete’ replace the expressive and emotional impacts of colored paintings? I automatically reach for paint tubes, rarely thinking of ‘other ways’, my inner impulse. Yet, I stand in owe before Natasha’s and Hung’s black and white photos, moved, drawn in, mesmerized… I am who I am, have to listen […]
Gel print image transfer We have supreme photographers among us – sensitive, emotional, original lenses. Once, Natasha revealed her art in one simple statement – searching for weak signals. I am not a photographer – my photos are good, sometimes witty, but ordinary. Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon the way of projecting ‘weak signals’. It goes […]
Still life, clay objects etc. The expectations for this theme of the project ‘Orange’ were 3D objects, functional or otherwise. Bowls, figurines, jewelry…Well, you cannot prescribe creativity. We ended up with contributions of still-life paintings, and artistic deserts. And a quintessential ‘orange car’! Spontaneously, the theme transformed itself into ‘orange’ in our lives…we are searching […]
Large alcohol ink paintings The August studio workshop was focused on painting ‘Art Garden’. Enveloped in the tranquility of ‘Zen garden’. Waterfall murmuring in sink with our voices, hummingbirds feeding on monarda’s blooms, critters milling around in early rush for fall preparations, stone Budas sleeping peacefully in shadows of late summer flowering… Summer rain, refreshing, […]
Mixed media paintings Alter Ego runs deep in each person. We are rarely unidirectional. Rather a multitude. Whereas our previous Alter Ego session explored masks as (artistic) tool to assume different personalities, a desire to conceal or transform our identity, the true ‘alter ego’ resides within us on its own – no need for masks.

The Connected Brain We were deep into assembling our ‘Connections’ project installation, when OHBM Brain-Art announced the theme of the 2022 Exhibition and competition – ‘The Connected Brain’. The theme emerged as a way to counteract human alienation caused by the Covid pandemic and its effects on the brain and mental health, to seek rejuvenation […]
Neurographic(a) Installation Neurographic(a) was designed to explore our individual (subconscious) and help us build balanced relationships with outside world. On our artistic trip towards bigger concept, we will start with exactly that…our individualities – colorful or thoughtful, exuberant or subdued, each precious… We will unleash our creativity in individual neurographic drawings and then link them […]
Mixed media assemblies This is a story of bead baking… You must be thinking – what does Rothko have to do with bead baking? Well, here it goes… Hung and I were making some suncatchers and garden decorations from plastic beads on my deck to brighten our spirits dampened by the pandemic situation. A girlish […]
On April 16th we had our virtual reveal of the project outcomes – a true Vernissage! Oh, what an event that was! Champagne, evening dress…The food was served through an amazing virtual presentation of our food artists; their sumptuous deserts also made to each of our homes through a special delivery! Music was uplifting and […]
