Artist Showcase: Bobbi Schulman

Much like the shifting forces of nature itself, this series of abstract paintings grows from the evolving dance between color, line, texture, rhythm, and movement. Layer builds upon layer as forms are molded and reshaped into bold, bright patterns—each one capturing the intersection of energy and flow.

Every mark holds the movement of a single moment. Freed from familiar relationships, color and form ebb and flow across the canvas. Lines intertwine with planes to establish shape and depth, while brushstrokes play together in harmony or push wildly against the painting’s edge. The result transcends simple representation, creating spaces where color and rhythm come alive—inviting viewers to lose themselves in the pure experience of seeing.

Artist Showcase: Cynthia Farrell Johnson

Our world is full of rich, beautiful colors. Cynthia’s goal as an artist is to record beauty and, in the process, bring joy into the viewer’s life.
Most of us are looking for ways to make life better for future generations. And while we all face challenges, we live with the faith that tomorrow will be better. Day in and day out, we seek ways to heal that which ails us, build bridges of understanding, and embrace life in all its splendor and magnificence.

We must also deal with those bent on destruction and discord. Daily we are bombarded with reports of unspeakable horrors—caused by forces of nature or by human frailties. Yet even amid this chaos, one can find beauty, peace, and comfort.

Cynthia’s mission is to record as much of this beauty as possible, using the richest color combinations that she can devise. Her goal is to remember that every day there are more individuals acting out of love and kindness than hate. In telling their stories, Cynthia hopes to inspire or comfort others.
