Her work takes on a physicality as she explores the juxtaposition between abstract silhouettes of the female anatomy and natural landscapes, asserting the intimate connection between the body, mind and nature. Czarnecki lives and works in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Emily Pettigrew (b. 1990 Maine) received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communications Design from Pratt Institute in New York, NY. Pettigrew’s narrative acrylic paintings are inspired by her upbringing in rural, coastal Maine, and her work emanates a reverence for history and nature. Her work evokes the history of New England and points to various chapters of art history. Lone figures or small groups, landscapes and American architecture fill her canvases, which are stripped down to the most essential and beautiful parts. Pettigrew lives and works in Delhi, New York.

Danny Sobor (b. 1992 Chicago, Illinois) received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Art and Neuroscience from Brown University in 2015. Sobor’s primary medium is oil paint, which he applies in thin layers to a canvas and minimizes the paint with a dry brush, creating a veiling effect. His source material comes from archival images he finds in the corners of the internet, but he breathes new life into the found images by elevating them to paintings. Sobor’s realistic style is grounded in a surrealist composition, cropping domestic scenes and representing them in a blurred and ethereal aura. Sobor lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
