Yolanda was also recently featured in a PBS program "Latino Americans of NY & NJ." Learn more here!
Steve Duprey
Steve Duprey has recently been chosen as Featured Artist of the Month (for January) at the online art supply outlet Blick Art Materials, the largest, oldest provider of art supplies in the United States. The international site features new artists' work each month. Duprey's work was recently exhibited at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery Clothesline Festival and can currently be seen at Monello Winery on Seneca Lake.

Ivy Stevens-Gupta
Ivy's latest exhibit titled "Color Matters" at Fine Line Bistro, 404 West State Street, Ithaca, NY 14850, from January 14-March 11, 2014, is a continued exploration of the psychology of art from her graduate studies. She has explored how color affects the brain and how science and digital technology have influenced how we perceive images. When designing her artwork, Ivy chooses a cornucopia of colors and textures in highly distinctive aesthetic patterns. The result of her mixed-media, multi-layer process is a luxurious composite that is full of energy and a captivating interplay of colors.
Wynn Yarrow
WETM-TV's Community Focus recently featured the artist-in-residence program in which Wynn takes part at The Rockwell Museum of Western Art. The whole show was about the residency. Wynn can be seen in the second half of the program discussing her experience with the program. It can be viewed online at the WETM website. Wynn Yarrow is introduced at the 12:12 mark.
