The utility of words often outshines more subtle lines of communication like a streetlight obscuring the moon’s profound calm with its direct, brash illumination.
Music, dance, and the visual arts glow behind the streetlight.
Henri Bergson theorized a hundred years ago that conscious beings experience time as accreting. It accumulates, and as it builds, our growing memory of lived experience changes the way we see and interact with the world. A jazz number builds as well, expanding, changing key or color while maintaining a connection with the underlying melody, like a meandering river whose destination may not be apparent but whose channel shifts as the current plays off the sand, soil, and rocks.
Such is the experience of painting, both creating and viewing a painting.
Scan For Whose Interest
Koon-Hwee Kan is an Associate Professor of Art Education at Kent State University School of Art. Koon has published more than 20 articles in art education journals. Her recent scholarship emphasizes the engagement of diverse, worldwide communities dedicated to successful global and local connections through the visual arts. She regularly exhibits works in local and regional juried shows. Her favorite art medium includes mixed medium watercolor and digital photo collage.
The Scan Series helped me explore the Chineseness of my identity as an overseas Chinese, born and reared in Singapore, where the source of my understanding of Chinese culture was my formative education, partially delivered in English. The stories and legends passed down from elder relatives and hearsay from a wider family circle intimately tied me to childhood memories of home. Certain subject matter continually resurfaced, for example, children dressed in traditional costumes assuming three positions: sitting, hauling, and dancing. They were symbolically absorbing the stories and legends passed down from elder relatives and hearsay from a wider family circle intimately tied to my childhood memories of home.

Scarlet Flow
I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, PA, with an Associate Degree in Fashion Illustration. I also received an Interior Design Certificate from Seton Hill College (now University), Greensburg, PA, while employed as a graphic designer, for over 18 years. Recently, I earned an Associate of Science Degree, with an Art Major, from Community College of Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA.
In addition to my work as a graphic designer, I also taught watercolor painting at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and the University of Pittsburgh, Generations Together Program.
My art has been exhibited locally, nationally, and online. It is also included in several private collections. I am a member of a number of art organizations including the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh, the International Society of Experimental Artists, the National League of American Pen Women, and the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society.
I mainly work intuitively, allowing my imagination to guide my artistic vision. Intense colors, as well as, design are important aspects of my work. I am also open to experimentation. I work in a variety of media including acrylic, collage, ink, and watercolor. My current concentration is in abstraction. In addition to painting, I also enjoy ceramics, fiber, and photography. Evidence of my appreciation of architecture and oriental art may also be seen in the creation of my art. Over the years, I have had the privilege of learning from many talented artists, and I have incorporated that knowledge into my own unique artistic expression.
Scarlet Goddess
Joanne Chase-Mattillo was born in the beautiful Midwestern University town of Ann Arbor, Michigan. While the natural surroundings of her childhood were inspiring, the beauty of nature surrounding Los Angeles was the impetus for her entrance into the field of photography. Joanne began vigorously studying photography and other art arenas to hone her skills as a visual artist. In 2000, she graduated from California State University, Los Angeles with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). She is now a full-time artist.
In addition to color and black-and-white film, Joanne shoots digitally and employs the techniques of infrared imaging and enjoys creating 3D anaglyphs to be viewed with red/blue lenses. As an extension of photography, she has branched out to do videos and has a YouTube Channel, THE VIDEO ART OF JOANNE CHASE-MATTILLO. Along with nature, Joanne frequently photographs female and male subjects at themed studio shoots. She often uses photographs of models combined with images of her nature photography to create unique photo montages.
Joanne has exhibited throughout California, nationally, in Korea, France, England, Switzerland, Scotland, Greece, Spain, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Taiwan, Brazil, Dubai, and Italy.
As a photographer, I am constantly in search of iconic imagery. The craftsmanship and perfection of classic Hollywood cinema have always been an inspiration and a goal I seek to achieve in my photography. While enjoying the technology of the present and how it has enhanced photography, I am very drawn to recreating photographs that reference the best of the past. It is my intent that the viewer of the images I create will be taken out of the everyday present to a magical place where, at any time, they would dream of going. Whether photographing people or nature, I strive to honor the best and the beauty of all that I have an opportunity to capture with my camera.
Summer days are the dream moments of the year that are looked forward to in dreary seasons. The beach, pool, lakes, and oceans draw all to embrace the sun and beat the heat. When we think of summer, we embrace all that the warmth of the sun brings.
Scent Of Spring
Born 15 May 1953 in the USA. Emigrated to England at the age of 24. I have always been creative in many different fields and now choose to devote most of my time to colored pencil works. I am an award-winning artist.
I have been surrounded by creativity all my life. When I was very young dancing and singing were my main loves, but I always drew and especially loved drawing trees.
In college, I majored in art and was in the honors program. One of my teachers said I produced a year’s work every week. I tried acrylics, etching, drawing, charcoal, etc but my main loves were graphite pencil and later in life after college Pantone pen and ink, working from my imagination and using Greek Myths and the Bible as inspiration for my artworks.
In Sep 2017 I was commissioned to reproduce my drawing – the Lover’s Tree in gold and silver. This started my interest in learning colored pencils.
Now as an Award-Winning artist, I love creating realistic work on a variety of subjects – wildlife, portraits, flowers, animals, birds, etc.
My work hangs in the USA, France, and England.
Schizophrenia
My name is Olivia Carolyn Kays and I am currently working to get my BFA. I am a student at Purdue University and my major is Integrated Studio Arts. I plan to get my MFA and potentially my Ph.D. once I graduate in 2025. I’d love to be a Professional Artist attending shows and working off commissions once I am done with school. I graduated High school in three years with Academic Honors and am graduating with my bachelor’s in three years. I enjoy caring for my plants and my two cats. My cats Scarlet and Venus are my favorites, even though they eat my plants.
My pieces being submitted were made experimentally with different mediums and techniques. My main medium is Mixed Media and I like to explore all of my options within that category. I get inspiration from using raw materials, layering them, and learning by trial and error as to what works and what doesn’t. I have been active with my art since I was about three. All through elementary, high school, etc. it has been a great learning process. My main inspiration is to try and make somebody feel something. Whether that be the beauty of the subject, emotion, vivid or bland colors, the decay of the piece, the prime and conception of it.

Stephanie H. Plunkett, Chief Curator and Deputy Director of the Norman Rockwell Museum, MA, comments, “Weinblatt’s ability to transform specific experiences into powerful images which communicate to a broad audience is nothing short of extraordinary… riveting images implicit of the energy and tensions of human experience.”
I am a figurative painter whose imagery is informed through direct observation, memory, and personal experience. SCHOOL LUNCH is a visual essay of contemporary student life in real educational settings. The paintings in this series present images concerning the nature and passions of human relationships. Current cross-cultural issues and their emotional attitudes are explored in the shared experience of school lunch. SCHOOL LUNCH is generated from observation, drawing on-site, in lunchrooms and campuses of High Schools and Colleges. Each individual in my paintings, drawn in the moment, is an actual person. The drawings are the genesis of my paintings. My compositions are developed from my perception of the atmosphere and interactions in the environment. As part of my college exhibitions, I’m invited on campus as a ‘Resident /Visiting Artist.’ This opportunity allows access to a wide scope of activities to record. My drawings are quick graphite/ pastel pencil portraits.
My goal is to create humanistic awareness in a framework that is universally recognized. The challenges inherent in our diverse society surround us today. Visual Imagery has the power to transform and enlarge our perceptions, as well as confirm identity and validate experience.
SCHOOL LUNCH underlines perceptions which affirm cultural identity, brings together ideas espousing contemporary social, gender, and political concerns, while encouraging a belief in the quality of the human spirit.
Scorpio Rising
Debby Dakini, a working Artist, Van Gogh inspired, largely self-taught, I was blessed to have two significant, gifted mentors in the last thirty years, both leaving their legacy, just do what you do and not change a thing. My pieces are described as ‘childlike’ and ‘pure’, free of constraints of learned techniques. London-born, I have exhibited in the UK and Ireland, which I chose as my spiritual home back in 2007. My work is mostly seen as part of Arts Festivals, both individually, jointly, and in groups. Post-COVID, I largely self-promote online and via social media.
I create a daily living, a solitary life on the periphery of the mainstream. My inspiration and spiritual guidance come from a never-ending search within. I studied four Esoteric Sciences nearly 30 years ago, taking a specialty in deep soul-oriented Esoteric Astrology, and am a daily spiritual practitioner of the Mayahana tradition of Kagyu Tibetan Buddhism. My work is a constant delight to me, be it figurative or abstract. Inspiration comes purely with non-thought mysteriously channeled directly to me from an unnamed and untamable source to beautify our world.
