Audra Weaser is best known for her large-scale abstract paintings which represent the changing effects of light in the natural world – from ripples on water to shafts glimpsed through a forest of trees. Weaser holds a Master’s in Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Her paintings have been exhibited extensively and reside in private and public collections throughout the world—from New York and San Francisco to Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.
Carlyle Wolfe Lee’s work follows the natural ebb and flow of the changing seasons by studying the colors and forms of the flora that surround her. She describes her work as a distinctly personal project to “develop an awareness of the natural world. It is about becoming progressively, cyclically more present to its rhythms, gaining a deeper understanding of its design, and acquiring direct experiential knowledge of its mysterious beauty.” Wolfe Lee is a highly accredited painter and multi-media installation artist, who in 2017 was honored with the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Award and the Delta Award from the Arkansas Art Center. These two commendations highlight Wolfe Lee’s unique ability to “take the ordinary and make it splendid, take the fragile and give it strength, and take the hidden and make it large and triumphant.” Wolfe Lee’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the American South and is now ready for its Northeastern debut.
