Kathleen Kathan, based in Acworth, New Hampshire, uses oil paint and realism to express the importance to the artist of rural backyard agriculture and wildlife. Kathan’s paintings of agricultural life such as “Three Jerseys Grazing” and “Heifers On Summer Pasture” show a colorful and celebratory view of the landscape and how domesticated animals live on it.

“I see things I'm not sure I will see again and so I paint it to remember, not knowing how long or short it may be before it is changed or gone. I hope to bring awareness to my viewers of the disappearing rural agricultural life and wildness hiding behind it.” -Kathleen Kathan

Andrew and Aspen Fersch, a father daughter team, share color prints along with painted dolls, featuring photographs taken of a particular “Barbie” doll posing in and amongst the kitchen. With descriptive titles such as “Cole Slaw Hot Tub”, “Bucatini Head” and “Meat Belt”, the artists offer the following explanation: “After 66 years of being told who to be and what to wear, our icon is more than ready to make her own statements. She posed in front of a ramshackle and rundown Android phone, with color filtering being the only modification. The resulting images are disarming and liberatory - an emotive plastique/plastic figure among visuals that makes the mind flit from the aesthetic, to the political, to the ageless power of play (and power plays).” -Andrew and Aspen Fersch.
