Hillary Korn Fontana

"The balance and intrigue of a project comes to fruition when I can combine multi-layers of materials to create my pieces. Before I start that session, I have already visualized the finished product. But sometimes it grows and evolves in a new direction, like a person with different strengths and personalities. As a hearing-impaired person, I use my artwork to create communication. The silence allows me to focus on how to connect with my audience by using colors, textures, or even words. I want the viewer to feel raw emotion and self-reflection, thus creating their internal conversation."

Hillary Korn Fontana is a mixed-media artist living in Westchester County, New York. Self-taught, Hillary grew up experimenting with all different mediums of visual and digital arts, woodworking, glass, textiles, and silversmithing. Working professionally as a graphic designer for 20+ years in the corporate and non-profit world supported a family and a sense of security. However, creating “hands-on” artwork has allowed her more freedom of expression as an artist and to go beyond her emotional boundaries.

Kat Sayegh

    

Kat Sayegh is an abstract mixed media and digital artist from New Rochelle, NY. She received her BFA in studio art from the college of New Rochelle, and received her master of professional studies degree in art therapy and creative development from Pratt Institute, and a master of science in sport and exercise psychology from Lock Haven University. Kat is also an art therapist specializing in athletic injuries, physical and medical trauma, injury and illness recovery, and stress and anxiety reduction. She also serves as president of the New Rochelle Art Association.

The driving forces behind her work are the deep emotions that only the subconscious can reach. Within these feelings live the traumas that she has experienced throughout her life as an injured athlete. These memories are released through her work, which ultimately makes art her therapeutic process. Her physical trauma, x-rays, MRI images and the organic shapes of the nervous system serve as the basis of her inspiration.

Caroline Zemira Douglas

These photos were taken in the fall of 2021, during which I conducted research on water quality in the Green River (Williamstown, MA), for a geomorphology class. There are quite a few things to be said about what the Green River has provided for me, but to put it simply: it has offered solitude when I need it, brought togetherness when I wanted it, and most of all, it has served as a physical reminder that multiple things can exist within one body. Whether it be the dramatic variation in water dynamics or the fact that I could pursue two of my strongest interests at the very same location and even in the same moment. It’s easier for me to see now that there’s no need to box in things that don’t need to be confined.  Instead, I try to lean into and celebrate the multidimensional nature of people and places — it brings new perspectives.

    Caroline Zemira Douglas is a graduate of Williams College and a resident of Stormville, NY.  At Williams, she studied Geosciences and Studio Art, and has combined the two in various forms while exploring the overlap between visual art and science.  She works with a range of materials, and has experience with photography, drawing, painting, linocut, quilting, video, weaving, fresco, and more.
