The Show’s Featured Artists

Ummarid Eitharong, painting: We featured the work of Ummarid Eitharong (Tony) last year and he returns as one of the show jury’s featured artists this year. A past Armonk Outdoor Art Show “best of Show” winner, this self-taught prize-winning artist from Thailand started his career doing large scale photo-realistic pencil drawings. He later transitioned to large scale compositions in mixed media. Now he focuses on acrylic abstract art on watercolor paper. His work is featured in many public and private collections in the US And Europe. The Crown, pictured here, shows the influence of color theory on his work.

Lorraine Glessner, Mixed Media: Lorraine’s primary medium is encaustic. A process that involves applying paint, fusing the layers, then scraping back or adding more paint. Which gives her work a a multi-layered collage effect. And adds a luminosity and tactile quality unmatched by other media. Her inspirations come from the layers and layered effects of memory and experience on how we see our lives. Pictured here is her “She Had a Darkness in Her Past That Made Her Vulnerable”, encaustic, collage, pyrography on wood.

Amy Hudon, wearable art: Amy Hudon’s stated goal is to “make fine jewelry fun.” Her handmade, easy-to-wear heirloom quality jewelry exhibits an innovative quality that makes her an AOAS featured artist. She combines organic forms such as pebbles,waves and birds with a modern aesthetic in her beach-inspired pieces. Amy works exclusively in precious materials:. Such as platinum, palladium, all colors of gold, silver, diamonds and gems. Pictured here are earrings in Azurite Leaf Drops on Triple Diamond and Sapphire tops.

Marlene Rose, sculpture: Marlene Rose is an award-winning sculptor in her chosen medium, sand-cast glass. A process developed in the mid-1980s, sandcasting glass is based on the ancient tradition of bronze casting. Marlene pours liquid molten glass into carefully prepared sand molds and then cools them in a specially controlled oven for six days or more before cracking open the mold to see what is revealed. She finishes each piece of glass with a steel frame that completes the sculpture. Here she showcases a work in her Buddha series. Check out her site for other works in her Butterfly, Bell, African, and Abstract lines.

Andrew Sovjani, Photography/Digital Art: Andrew Sovjani ‘s hybrid work blurs the boundaries between photography, printmaking and painting.  He captures each image on black and white large format film, then creates a print which he chemically alters to bring in unusual colors, mark making, and spontaneous effects. Finally the print is digitized, further enhanced, and then printed. Andrew has studied with one of Ansel Adams’ assistants. He has exhibited in national juried shows all over the US. And in solo and group exhibitions in NY, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco and Washington, DC. Pictured here, “Brooklyn Bridge”, analog/digital hybrid archival pigment print.

His works have been shown in museum exhibitions. Including the Museum of Fine Art in Shannxi, China and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, as well as in many fine art galleries.
