Nadja Martens Acceptance of the Seasons Oil on canvas, 9″ x 7″ $65. from the feature exhibit: Walk With Me Where No One Follows, November 6–27, 2015 Pain is part of perhaps everyone’s life, similar to the way seasons come and go, like winter, fall, and spring.…
Nadja Martens The Whisper Oil on canvas, 16″ x 19″ $220. from the feature exhibit: Walk With Me Where No One Follows, November 6–27, 2015 To me it all starts with a whisper. A small, quiet voice (represented as a hummingbird in my paintings) tells us what feels right and what does not. However, once fear (represented as a rabbit) is involved, this tiny voice can become difficult to hear. This scenario is depicted in The Whisper, as the rabbit is anxious and feels uncomfortable with the whisper and guidance from the hummingbird.…
Nadja Martens Through a Heart Oil on canvas, 7″ x 9″ SOLD from the feature exhibit: Walk With Me Where No One Follows, November 6–27, 2015 The greatest pain to me goes right through the heart of one’s moral compass (the hummingbird who exists right between emotion and rational thought). If the pain, in whichever form it may appear, does not break you, it becomes the greatest source of growth, providing one of the highest forms of transformations.…
Nadja Martens The Animals from the feature exhibit: Walk With Me Where No One Follows, November 6–27, 2015 The emotions I portray in my artworks for Walk With Me Where No One Follows are real, they exist and they are there. For that reason alone it was essential to me to use real animals and not fake ones, as none of what i show is fake in its existence. The rabbit is curled up hiding his face, not wanting to be seen as processing sometimes is a very private affair. Nevertheless going through this process butterflies arise eventually and make it an important experience. The Silent Scream shows the chaos and elegance or beauty that comes with over comings. Dreaming of Serpents is about being in one’s own way. I’ve learned that most of the time the world is not my enemy yet I can be. Once the mouse…

Visual Spectrum new paintings by Nicole Linde Visual Spectrum is a series of paintings inspired by things unseen. It is a collection of oil paintings Linde has been working on this last year influenced by the notion that there is a world that is seen with the eyes and five physical senses that makes up the fabric of our Visual Spectrum. These paintings are an exploration of another world; a more subtle dimension that can be seen or felt with the sixth sense of intuition. The process of these paintings have been in correlation with Linde’s own daily meditation and spiritual explorations.

Quantum Activism new works by Joe Perea What the ancient knew, we are slowly re-discovering. Subtle energies that exist in us, exist in all of us; from the humblest grain of sand in the ocean to the massive galaxies mirroring a non local connection, where language or math is different but the universal archetype is the same. This physical world that runs on laws is very dependent on energies unseen. The technological advances like teleportation, quantum biology, and quantum nano technology, is only a small portion of our future reality. But where I lean towards more is the self realization that every single soul is connected, a genius acknowledging our true potential–that we have control over our reality in the physical, emotional, mental and metaphysical journey. If a scientist can manage to affect reality just by observation, imagine what a pure and happy thought might be? ~Joe Perea Artist Reception:…
