Sarah Fairchild is a mixed media artist concerned about our environment, creating and representing natural forms through a synthetic lens. Her work depicts the common and often ignored forms of weeds and wild flowers; recently, pollinators and other beneficial insects have crept into her work, creating a two-dimensional insectarium that depicts the interconnection of species, the fragility of our ecosystems, as well as a reverence for nature and all its inhabitants. She hopes considering these commonplace forms in a new and unusual way will arouse a sense of wonder, appreciation and concern for the environment, as well as the urgent need for a sustainable living planet. Recent commissions include Bloom, a temporary three dimensional abstract bouquet installed inside the lobby of One Liberty Plaza, New York City; Floribunda, a two-part temporary installation adapted from an original painting on the exterior and three original mixed media artworks inside the lobby at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn; Cruciferous, a temporary installation adapted from two original paintings, adorned the lobby of the Grace Building in New York City; set and prop design for Opera Columbus’ production of Lully’s Armide; and a large-scale wallpaper installation at the Columbus School for Girls. Recent publications include New American Paintings, International Painting Annual, and her work is included in several public and private collections including the Columbus Museum of Art and the Pizzuti Collection. "I am a mixed media artist concerned about our environment, creating and representing natural forms through a synthetic lens. Themes in my work straddle the realms of fashion and the natural world, while playing with the ideas of decoration, beauty, sensuality and questions regarding the handmade versus the mass produced.

Gabe Langholtz was born in 1971 and is an American painter, living and working in Austin Texas. His work, although primarily representational, is indebted to American Color Field painting, focusing on color relations, pattern making, form and line, with a heavy emphasis on the two-dimensional surface of the canvas. In the tradition of folk art, Langholtz routinely employs the use of mundane cultural objects and / or activities to establish a contemporary narrative, oftentimes drawing on humor, parody, and pastiche as tools for social commentary.   His work has been featured in New American Paintings and Create! Magazine, and exhibited nationally at Hashimoto Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, and New York, NY, BravinLee Programs, New York, NY, The Painting Center, New York, NY, and Bowery Gallery, New York, NY. Langholtz is influenced by the work of Mary Fedden, Philip Guston, Agnes Martin and Gary Bunt, while folk art and collage heavily inform his distinctive style.   LINKS:  www.gabelangholtz.com   Instagram:@gabelangholtzart     Sponsors: https://www.itransport4u.com/ https://www.sunlighttax.com/ilyw     I Like Your Work Links: I Like Your Work Black Friday Sale: Use Code BlackFriday30 for 30% off through November 27th!

Linda Colletta is an abstract artist, who has been creating art in various mediums for over 25 years. At 19-years old, she got her start in New York City as a scenic artist painting backdrops for MTV and VH1. After 16 years in the music television industry, she left to dedicate herself to painting full time.  Her work has been shown nationally at Scope Miami Beach, LA Art Show, Market Art & Design Hamptons, Uprise Art, White Room Gallery, Southport Gallery, Burning Man, The Affordable Art Fair, and The Other Art Fair. Private collections include Google NYC, Justin Bieber, deCordova Museum, Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York Presbyterian, 590 Madison and 277 Fifth NoMad. Linda is self-taught and works from her studio in Bridgeport, CT.   Linda Colletta’s supersaturated canvases consume the viewer with intensity. Her frenetic approach to color, paint, and process push the limits of materiality resulting in multilayered compositions that function as emotional portals. Examining themes of compulsion, obsession, and addiction - through a lens of feminism, pop culture, and childhood nostalgia - Colletta’s paintings give form to the delicate alchemy of humanity.    Using color as her muse, Colletta explores textures, patterns and layers mimicked both in nature and urban landscapes through a variety of mediums like acrylic, oil sticks, spray paint, pastels, graphite, ink, and canvas scraps. Her chromatic obsession has led to an arresting and palpable palette through a liberal use of neon pastels which lay the foundations of her visual vocabulary. From fluorescent corals to midnight blues to neon limes, the multiple tones often work in tandem, activating one another upon countless picture planes. Fluid brushstrokes unite with organic pools of paint, expressing the dichotomy between the elegance and messiness of being human.    Working across multiple series at once, each collection is the product of fastidious conservation. Colletta harvests her studio for recycled remnants, including dried paint skins and paint water to carefully construct works that are classified by their makeup such as Dropcloths, Pools, Paintskins, or Mash Ups. The disparate elements found in her studio embody a collective energy from previous paintings. When combined, they embody a talisman of inspiration for future work. The inability to discard any left-over materials traces back to Colletta’s deeply personal issues with a compulsive overeating disorder that often caused her to covet, hoard, and binge junk food in an impetuous and secretive manner.    That all of her canvases maintain a confectionary aspect is no coincidence. Luscious hues of frosted pinks, shiny magentas, and slick reds recall classic childhood delights like cotton candy, cupcakes and sugar cookies. Her paint skins are easily mistaken for frosting or saltwater taffy. Layered with dark glitter and candy coatings, themes of glee and pain bolster her work, giving paintings like “It’s a Cupcake Panic Party”, “Licorice Lace” and “Clandestine Crunch” deeper meaning below the surface as they are emblems of her ongoing recovery process. Whimsical on the outside and gritty on the inside, each work is in direct pursuit of radical honesty and reckless abandon.   LINKS:  www.lindacolletta.com Instagram: @lindacolletta   Sponsors: www.artweb.com - promo: LIKEWORK25 www.tjwalshcoaching.com/placemaking   Artist Shout Outs:  Will Hutnick Catherine Haggarty Galen Cheney   I Like Your Work Links: Join The Works Membership waitlist! https://theworksmembership.com/ Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

Jaylen Pigford was born in 1996 and is an Afro-Latino painter born and raised in Corpus Christi and based in Houston, Texas. He’s a self-taught artist and has been creating artwork since childhood. His paintings are autobiographical reflections on past negative experiences and adversity to tell stories of self-growth through uplifting works on canvas. Jaylen sees his work as a balance of light and dark, the good with the bad.   “We all struggle and our failures test us, but it's what action we take to correct them that matters most.”   “Like many before me, I use skulls in my work to represent mortality and that we are all human and equal. Similar to the Renaissance painter's fascination with Memento Mori. The skull is a symbolic reminder of death's inevitability and belief that earthly possessions and achievements are fleeting. I also draw inspiration from my heritage and the cultural tradition of Dia De Los Muertos. In my paintings, I put a twist on the decorative calaveras, calacas (skulls, skeletons), and vibrant, bold, colorful motifs used to honor our ancestors. I feel that whether we accept it or not, death inspires everyone. Knowing that your time is limited encourages you to strive to reach your goals and live your best life.”   In this interview, Jaylen talks about how he developed a passion for art from a young age, how he’s been able to grow his career and how he’s been able to find inspiration in his struggles and life experiences.    LINKS:  https://ivestercontemporary.com/artist/jaylen-pigford Instagram: @Jayyford96     Sponsors: www.artweb.com - promo: LIKEWORK25 www.tjwalshcoaching.com/placemaking     I Like Your Work Links: Join The Works Membership! https://theworksmembership.com/ www.theworksmembership.com/freetraining Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

Texas based photographer and artist Letitia Huckaby joins me today to talk about her multimedia artwork that combines both photography and textiles to depict family narratives and African American history.   Letitia Huckaby has a degree in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma, a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston in photography and her Master’s degree from the University of North Texas in Denton. Huckaby has exhibited as an emerging artist at Phillips New York, the Tyler Museum of Art, The Studio School of Harlem, Renaissance Fine Art in Harlem curated by Deborah Willis, PhD, The McKenna Museum in New Orleans, the Camden Palace Hotel in Cork City, Ireland, and the Texas Biennial at Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum. Her work is included in several prestigious collections; the Library of Congress, the McNay Art Museum, the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, the Brandywine Workshop in Philadelphia, and the Samella Lewis Contemporary Art Collection at Scripps College in Claremont, California. Huckaby was a featured artist in MAP2020: The Further We Roll, The More We Gain at the Amon Carter Museum and State of the Art 2020 at Crystal Bridges Museum. Ms. Huckaby was a Fall 2020 Art Pace Artist in Residence and is represented by the Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas. Ms. Huckaby is the Co-Founder of Kinfolk House, a collaborative project space that inhabits a 100-year-old historic home, where community and art converge in the predominantly Black and Latina/e/o neighborhood of Polytechnic in Fort Worth, Texas and she is Texas Artist of the Year 2022.   “This project documents two residential blocks. One block is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Haskell Place in a neighborhood adjoining historic Greenwood. The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre desecrated the Greenwood neighborhood—one of the most prosperous African American communities in the early 20th century. The other residential block is located on St. Charles Street in the town of Greenwood, Mississippi—the namesake of the district in Tulsa and the birthplace of my father. For this project I traveled to both locations, documented these city blocks, and framed them together as a way to visually tie the two locations together. The images are printed onto cotton fabric and framed in embroidery hoops hinged together, to speak to the bifold frames people displayed of loved ones in their homes. At its most basic level, this project is about home and connectedness. The work speaks to the desire for a people to build a home of their own, the struggles that hinder the “American Dream” for far too many of its citizens, and a present nostalgia (living in a state that is linked heavily to the past).”     LINKS:  www.huckabystudios.com Instagram: @Huckabystudios https://talleydunn.com/project/letitia-huckaby/   Sponsors: https://www.artworkarchive.com/ilikeyourwork https://www.sunlighttax.com/ilyw   Artist Shoutout:  Lauren Cross https://www.laurenecross.com Dornith Doherty https://www.dornithdoherty.com   I Like Your Work Links: Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!
