    Roland Bernier artist profile from Art Ltd. magazine

    Bernier intentionally did not affiliate with the early conceptual artists using text to make art, such as Ed Ruscha or Lawrence Weiner, or with Pop Art, for that matter.

    Fabulous forces are encountered in the paintings of Laura Ball. Her heroines have entered the region of supernatural wonder.

  • Dena Schuckit: The Garden is a Raging Sea essay for David B. Smith Gallery

    Though not a realist, Schuckit’s categorizing of headline imagery is similar. She creates a raster of images and allows them to produce a rhizome of new impressions.
