Cathleen Clarke has always been drawn to the spaces where memory begins to thin out. Not the sharp, documentary version of the past, but the gaps that form over time. The voids. The moments that cannot be fully retrieved. She is interested in what happens next, when imagination steps in to fill what is missing. […]
Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Hill Spriggins has been living and working in Brooklyn, New York for the past seven years. She identifies herself simply and decisively as a painter. While people often ask whether she draws, photographs, or works in other mediums, her answer is consistent. Painting is her focus, the only practice she
Caroline Absher describes painting with oils as “the most enjoyable thing in the world,” it’s a way of living inside the material rather than controlling it. For her, oil paint is not something to be mastered through precision or restraint. It is something that wants to move, to change, to figure itself out. Control enters
Nancy Goldring remembers her first studio vividly. It was not a grand loft in New York or a well-lit atelier in Italy, but a corner of her family’s basement in St. Louis, Missouri. She was a child, and her mother, wanting to keep her occupied, gave her a small space to call her own. “My

That early love
Yael Dresdner speaks with the same focus that appears in her work. When she describes painting, it isn’t with grand gestures or lofty words but with a simple truth: “It’s a necessity.

When asked what he does, Md Tokon doesn’t call himself an artist. He prefers something simpler: “I always say I’m a painter.

Meeting Zuriel Waters, you notice first his peace. An understanding of who he is and his works within the world. That same quiet focus runs through his art.
