Belkis Hull is an established family and wedding photographer with a passion for travel photography. She’s also a fervent advocate of building community and women empowerment in her beautiful town of Rye, NY.
Abstract artist Monique Robidoux loves creating art that speaks to people. She’s working in a variety of media and substrates, seeking to create luminosity and depth in her work. Nature always informs her work on some level and interesting juxtapositions of color drives it.
Intuitive abstract oil painter Cécile Roberfroid conveys her belief in the transformative power of art in each creation. Through her expressive paintings, she shares her innermost feelings, encouraging viewers to forge a meaningful connection and experience their own emotions.
Gaelle Hintzy-Marcel creates sensitive and organic sculptures to share her life’s insights. She believes in the power of personal transformation and challenges routines and patterns through her art. Exploring the connection between body and mind, she experiments with materials, forging unique techniques to express her journey of self-discovery.
Zarah Jayer is a physician pathologist residing in New Rochelle. Working with a microscope and looking at the human body at cellular level became her inspiration for the world of “abstract art”. She works with fluid acrylic to create abstract paintings through which she explores the beauty and complexity of vibrant colors which allow her to transmit positive energy to the spectators.
Roohi Saleem work explores human connection shaped by family and lived experience across diverse cultures. Her paintings often resemble abstract maps or aerial views, using layered mark-making, including written and scribbled notations to record what is unfolding in her personal life and in the wider world. In doing so, each painting is embedded with a sense of time, foregrounding humanity beyond political narratives.
Artist Elissa Carroll creates oil paintings that are inspired by color and luminosity. Light changes a subject in an instant and she enjoys the challenge of capturing that moment of change and portraying how she sees the world.
