- Ray Guzman
  
  My work is a reflection on our efforts to do a good job everyday no matter what it is. Be it a farmer, a tug boat operator or in the trades. I celebrate these endeavors through the gift of my paintings. The pleasures and rewards of doing a good job through hard work, dedication, and commitment is what they strive for. Painting for me is a wonderful form in which to express these values. Painting is my work, I love my work, It allows me to reach into the souls of what and who I paint with an open mind.
  My subject matter may be U.S. presidents, people, landscapes, tractors, or abandoned tug boats, they all have a story to tell. I think of myself as a visual listener. I listen with my eyes and my heart. I retell their stories through art, with color, composition and unique materials to represent a complete tale of these experiences. I am a Working Class Artist.
- Chesleigh Meade
  
  Informed by her experience as a mother of three, Chesleigh Meade’s practice as a mixed media artist privileges both the personal and the anonymous in its fusion of hand drawings, watercolor, collage, paint, disposable goods, and discarded packaging. The corrugations and latticework present in her cut-paper human forms evoke the urban landscape while unmistakably centering the lives which inhabit and sustain that landscape. She resides in Hoboken, New Jersey.

- Brittany Vogel
  
  Brittany’s work focuses on expressive painting and drawing and sometimes even combines the two techniques. The explosive color on her painted canvases easily becomes the focal point in any room. Common themes in her work show the push-pull of order vs. chaos, handmade vs. machine-made, and geometric vs. organic forms – all placed on the same surface. These oppositional forces produce a multi-dimensional space and create tension but ultimately find balance in each other. Her work is full of excitement, color and life. Brittany’s expressive drawing concentrates on the beauty of the line and its movement. She draws freehand in archival ink so that each line is fresh and without erasure. She has now started to weave this expressive drawing into her paintings.
  Brittany is a long-time resident of Hoboken and loves the vitality of the small city. She won the Merit Award from the Art Students League of New York in 2019 and created a 12-foot wide mural underneath Columbus Circle in NYC in 2020. Many group shows in New York City have featured her work, distinguishing them with honors such as being showcased on the brochure cover.
