Meet . Thomas Coffey’s work is always attempting to articulate very nebulous feelings. They can be as complex as feelings like loneliness, grief, or disconnection, or as simple as how nice the sun felt on his face yesterday afternoon. The underlying question is always about belonging - what does it mean to be at home, or to feel connected to a particular place, time, or person?

Thomas views nostalgia as a state of recollection or remembrance, sometimes happy but often bittersweet. He is nostalgic for times he thinks of as being simpler (though whether they actually are is up for debate). Adolescence, undergrad - times when he had the type of freedom that comes from having few responsibilities.

Purchase prints of Thomas’ pieces now through the end of the week or inquire about available originals.

Meet . Whitney's work contrasts organic shapes with symmetrical patterning. She considers her paintings non-objective because most of the imagery is non-representational; however, organic forms reminiscent of the natural world do emerge. She occasionally sneaks in something recognizable like a portrait or inanimate object. Whenever sections of her painting feel disconnected, she lets washes drip through wet paint, pulling pigment across her canvas to literally connect segments. She rarely washes her brushes well so that parts of a previous hue are always mixed in with the next. She finds this helps her limit her color palette and keeps tones muted as well. She juxtaposes earth tones with synthetically colorful pops of paint. "When working, I try to dive into a subconscious state, trusting muscle memory and painting as intuitively as possible. I typically paint many layers of intertwining patterns, creating a strata like composition. I don’t like my work until I’ve painted over it multiple times."

The ability to dislike and later fall in love with something based on its layers is remarkable. She supposes human beings can be like this too- more beautiful with the layers they expose. Perhaps her art is asking the question, “is there a pattern to this madness?”

Meet . Sigrid Lorfing, originally from Clarksville, Arkansas, grew up near Central Mall in Fort Smith, saving her Christmas money to shop at Limited Too and later Hot Topic. She is nostalgic for grape snow cones and Scholastic book fairs. Nostalgia shows up in her work via memories, color schemes and patterns.

Sigrid currently works at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Purchase prints of her pieces now through the end of the week or inquire about available originals.
