NAOMI DIRACLES: From the time of the Old Masters to the present time, "COLLAGE" has been respected and dynamic ART FORM. The technique of pasting paper or other foreign elements onto the picture surface is NOT new. I have been creating COLLAGE/MIXED MEDIA ART WORK for sevreal years. My work reflects both traditional and contemporary themes. It is the selection of materials or images to be used — that becomes the most thoughtt-provoking and challenging process for me. Once the selection is made, the collage material is combined with other art techniques to create a visually balanced composition. My focus is always the same— COLOR, FORM and COMPOSITION. Also important to me — are the principles of design- which enable me to achieve visual harmony and unity in my work. ART has always been an important part of my life and now more than ever creating is my passion. My earlier years involved painting, printing and experimenting with all techniques. Finally it was NO surprise that I became a 'MIXED-MEDIUM" artist. Although COLLAGE is not a new art techique- for me it opened the door to new interpretations and experimentation using and changing images (both mine and others) to create my artwork. It requires a great deal of time, talent, and concentration to execute a successful piece— and I am hooked! Naomi Diracles is currently retired, and all of her artworks are for sale to benefit animal welfare. |

KATHY EPSTEIN: I am a South Florida and Long Island, New York artist. I studied art under Jules Olitsky at C. W. Post College, (LIU) and have attended the Fort Lauderdale Art Institute, The Art School in Boca Raton, The Academy of Art in Fort Lauderdale, and have worked in a studio environment in upstate New York.
I like experimenting with many types of media. Among some of these are collages with a social message. In my work, I use found objects, recycled materials, tissue paper, newspaper, and photos I have taken. I believe in trying to help the environment where I can. Creating “outside of the box” appeals to me and my work slants toward the abstract, expressionism, and/or impressionism. I am looking for a style and I think the search may be the style. In any event, my art is still evolving and I am enjoying the process. For questions about my work: kathyepstein40@gmail.com. |
SHOSHANAH FINDLING : Shoshanah Siegel-Findling was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.
She has been drawing since she was a young girl with her 'canvas' being the walls in her parent's home.
Early inspirations came from a neighbor, who taught her how to paint flower petals by 'bending the brush.'
His (Mr. Orloff) influence lives on today when Shoshanah uses the original easel that he gave her.
Shoshanah is a self-taught artist and has no 'formal' training. She has been creating her beautiful pieces of art from what she experiences, knows, sees, and feels.
If you are interested in contacting Shoshanah about purchasing any of her works, please email her directly at:

JACLYN FELDMAN : I am a conceptual artist, inspired by the physical and emotional world around me. I use my visual and perceptual experiences to create something original that stimulates interactions of the sensations of self, desire, fear, love, hate, etc. I want the viewer to be drawn in to the emotion of my art, regardless of whether these works are representational, surreal, or abstract. My earlier pieces were done to capture what I saw, and/or to make a statement. My more recent works are more complex and bizarre. They are apt to prod the viewer to think about what they are seeing and perhaps ask themselves,
My work has been displayed in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery in Dix Hills, The Petite Gallery in Huntington, Lazy Days in Long Beach, Circulo de la Hispanidad in Long Beach, the Hewlett Library, Lynbrook Library, Long Beach Library, West End Library in Long Beach, the Wisser Library at NYIT, Unitarian Church in Manhasset, and Garden City, Freeport Recreation Center Gallery, Greis Park, Temple Emanuel in Long Beach and other venues.

KATHRYN PARISE: has been doing art since she was a young child. She has a fine arts degree from Queens College, and has utilized her art and design training throughout her 40 year career as an interior book designer for many major publishing companies in New York. Throughout her career and full time job, she continued to maintain doing her art work, using oils, pastels, and pen and ink, to name a few mediums. She has also illustrated various cookbooks. Upon retiring a few years ago, she has been re-exploring her painting, this time trying her hand at water colors, and at times incorporating dried seaweed from the ocean, which continues to sustain and inspire her. Kathryn Parise has been a Long Beach resident for 22 years and she can be reached via email at beachkat526@gmail.com if anyone is interested in her work.
FELICE ZASLOW: After retiring from my teaching career in 2010, I returned to "my path not taken," painting. Having created art at different periods in my life, I am delighted to now to make it my primary focus.
As a youngster I spent time studying at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. This led to a life-long interest in painting and drawing, and then, to an avocation. I enjoy painting the natural world as well as the man-made one using original photos as my inspiration. My paintings are often influenced by the feeling of oneness I have with nature in certain settings, particularly in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Some of my paintings are reflections of life's challenges and the strengths I have used to meet those challenges.
In recent years I have studied at the ART STUDENTS LEAGUE in New York City, as well as with local artists, including the late Ivan Kamalic. Currently I am a member of the TriCounty Artists of Long Island, The National Art League in Queens, New York and the Art League of Nassau County. At the National Art League I am studying with Pedro Pacheco, from whom I have learned new techniques which I incorporate in my work. Pedro has inspired me to expand my art with new vision, moving from the traditional to experimenting with iconography, color and composition of my paintings.
I have moved into exhibiting my work, participating in many of the NAL shows as well as TriCounty Artists of Long Island. I look forward to continuing to develop my art and am inspired by the TriCounty members.
