Cythera and Twins, oil on linen, 100.5cm h x 136 w by Lorry Bentham
I am interested in the impact of art on fashion and fashion on art, especially the Rococco era with its preoccupation of collecting, identifying and cataloguing of new plants and flowers. It resulted in fashion moving away from heavy fabrics of the Baroque to the light and fluid fabrics, and characteristics of asymmetry, naturalism and surface decoration. By painting, collaging, textile elements and other found objects, I have rendered realistic images of 18th Century costumes ambiguous and semi-abstract forms. They are depicted upon Rococco patterned backgrounds such as Mechlin lace exploring such technology as photo-transfer on materials such as velvet, canvas, linen, perspex and board.

Dusk by Cynthia Lund Torroll
Starting with the woman’s face in my pencil drawing Least Resistance and then taking her to new places, (with the help of simple purchased Dover clip art for the “fairy”), this is one piece from a two piece set. I wanted to explore the duality and emotional shifts inherent in day to day life – and how that duality itself changes from hour to hour. / >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sister image,Dawn / >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As a canvas print: /

Green Tara -acrylic on canvas by margotmythmaker
29”x 34” -acrylic on canvas Green Tara is a Goddess – female Buddha – who helps in overcoming fear and anxieties. Tara is traditionally shown holding a lotus flower. I originally intended to paint a lotus too, but the child emerged instead..such is the way of the creative process. My depiction of Tara is of a compassionate, mothering Buddha who is protecting the child and keeping fears away. Green Tara was featured in the Group: Incredible India

Soul of the Flower by margotmythmaker
Touch drawing -colorized with pastels So, you may be wondering : What is Touch Drawing? In the words of the talented woman who created it – Debra Koff-Chapin: “Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process that allows the soul to speak through the hands. In touch drawing, the fingers take the place of pen or brush. Paper is placed over a freshly inked surface, and wherever it is touched, an imprint is made on the back side. Many drawings can be made in one session, each a stepping stone to the next, guiding one deeper and deeper into the self. Even those who believe they cannot draw find Touch drawing to be a powerful and fulfilling experience.” In my own words, touch drawing is basically a monoprint- and the lines are drawn with fingernails or fingertips. What is so magical about the process is that because you are drawing directly with your hands, expressions are much more authentic. I have created images that I would never be able to in “regular” drawing because, with touch drawing, I am able to access a deeper part of myself. The whole process is very meditative, creating one drawing after another. Emphasis is not placed on “getting things right” but expressing your inner world. I find the process to be very freeing. (as long as you check your inner critic at the door!) Because there is no erasing or reconfiguring, touch drawings can sometimes look rough or raw-but that is what I think is most beautiful about them. I have started to colorize some of my touch drawings with pastel and paint. This drawing was colorized with pastels

Gaia (or Gaea) is the elemental earth goddess in Greek mythology. She is the primal embodiment of earth and her name literally means Earth or Land in ancient Greek. She is considered a Mother Goddess or Great Goddess in the Greek pantheon. She is often depicted as a mature buxom woman.
