Jennifer Glasgow

Jennifer has been painting since she was a small child, along side her father, Dale Glasgow, who is also an artist. She works in oil paint on canvas or wood. She finds inspiration for her paintings from dreams and visions she has had. She received her Bachelors degree in Media Arts and Design, with a minor in Art from James Madison University, in Virginia. She graduated early from college and moved to Los Angeles where her work was displayed in numerous galleries. She moved back to the East Coast in 2011 and currently lives and paints in New York City. 

"I want to create art that steps outside the confines of religious symbolism into the realm of experience, in which a larger than life mystery can be felt regardless of the religious background of the viewer." -Jennifer Glasgow

 

Neal Risdal

Born in 1951 in Saugerties, the Catskills area of New York. He began painting under the tutelage of  the Hungarian artist Stephan Lokos in the artist colony of Woodstock New York in 1967.  Whereas Lokos’paintings are unique in his depiction of the bright light of Mexico, Risdal’s  painting’s are inspired by the mystical half-light that illuminates the Catskills  and Scandinavia, where his family vacationed.

 

Landscapes are often his subjects; his work instills the sensations of a setting, whatever the subject, with a view to maintaining the overriding purpose of his art, which is to communicate a spirit of peace and the recollection of the feeling of happiness. Through the use of techniques defined over years of work he has perfected the conveyance of that fragile moment of stability between times of intense change. Many of the mediums available to artists are used; oil, pastels and acrylics.

 

Neal Risdal was represented by  Gallery 9 in Atlanta Georgia  for a number of years. More recently his work has been displayed in solo shows at The Stockinet and LITM in Jersey city as well as the The BergenPAC. Intermezzo Art Gallery in Englewood NJ.
