Using a variety of styles and media with distinctly individual approaches, the artists selected for this exhibit juxtapose imagery or contrast space, scale and color to create their own visual symbolism, evoke emotion, or suggest narrative. The featured artists are:

Susanna Baker

Susanna Baker creates monotypes as well as a combination of monotype printmaking and encaustic painting that incorporates both the plate and the print, resulting in mirror imagery and unique textures.  Baker studied painting and earned a BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design.  She has shown her work in galleries and public venues throughout New Jersey.

Jamie Greenfield

Currently Master of Art on the Bunn Family Distinguished Teaching Chair at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, Jamie Greenfield works in various drawing media, painting, mixed media and sculpture.  Her work, which draws on inner sources of personal history in combination with close observation of lighting and form, has been included in over 35 solo and group exhibitions. 

Linda Pochesci 

Linda Pochesi’s paintings alter the scale of architectural space to evoke a sense of memory and time.  A Geraldine Dodge Art Fellow in 1995, Pochesci has taught art at Rhode Island College, Rhode Island School of Design, Massachusetts College of Art and West Morris Central High School.  Her work has been shown in frequent exhibits throughout the region since 1977.

Merrill Steiger

Using graphic form and saturated color, Merrill Steiger’s paintings encompass worlds that range in scope from the microscopic to the cosmic.  Steiger studied at the Art Students League in New York and earned a BFA from Lehman College.  In 2008 he received the Jack T. Stewart and Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Awards from the New York Artist Equity Association.

Valery Sutherland

Valery Sutherland’s standing painted wood sculptures and ink drawings on board aim to illustrate what time does to alter and transform.  She studied at the Turnbridge Wells Art School in England, has worked as a graphic artist at advertising agencies in London, England and Bloomfield, Connecticut and has shown her work throughout the Northeast.
