Meg Brown Payson
Remember Meg Brown Payson’s paintings from three years ago? She has quite the exhibit up her sleeve in Boston, focusing her attention on what she calls “embodied perception.” Her latest pieces examine the human need to construct meaningful order in a world filled with too much information.

Malu Berbers
Not only does Netherlands-based Malu Berbers create stunning jewelry, but she’s also a gifted painter. I love her still life and object series!
Kwang-ho Lee
Designboom takes a look at Kwang-ho Lee’s Touch exhibition at Kukje Gallery in Seoul which runs through May 16th. I can’t believe that these are oil paintings — the detail is exquisite. I wish I could see these up close. And, I mean, cacti? Who paints cacti? That is so cool.
Sarah Spitler
Sarah Spitler was born and raised in Ohio and now lives and works in San Francisco. She attributes her work to a certain level of chaos, as she writes in her artist statement:
“Chaos is powerful in that it is beyond human control; specifically, it interests me in depiction as catastrophe – as the uncontrollable and random force of natural cataclysms.”
Peruse her portfolio, or check out some of her work for sale at 20×200.
Jaclyn Mednicov
Seeking to express how “nature responds to the man-made structures in our urban surroundings,” New York-based Jaclyn Mednicov creates deserted landscapes with pen, ink and paint.
Fantastic work! Check out more of Jaclyn’s great pieces after the jump…
Megan Dirks
Beautiful work by Megan Dirks. She recently found out that she has stage 3A lung cancer — visit her Facebook support page here to offer words of kindness.
Century Mountain Project
This weekend, I was so excited to open an email from the co-owner of Espai Cromàtic Gallery in Tarragona, Spain, showcasing a new (fantastic!) collaboration they’re housing.
Renowned poet Huang Xiang and artist William Rock have merged their art (poetry + painting) to create the Century Mountain Project:
A “visual dialogue across humanity,” which is an East / West collaboration of art between one of the greatest poets of 20th century China, Huang Xiang, and American artist, William Rock. Their collaborative art honors the greatness in us as human beings that has made itself evident throughout the centuries in the form of outstanding creators, thinkers, discoverers, leaders — essentially people who stood out like mountains throughout the centuries, such as Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Isadora Duncan, Gandhi, Pablo Neruda and Nietzsche.
p.s. In case you’re unfamiliar with poet Huang Xiang, he was imprisoned and tortured in China for over 12 years and put on death row twice for fighting for civil rights and freedom of speech through his poetry. He and his wife now live in New York City.
A fascinating story, indeed, with a great collaboration as a result.
Danna Ray
Danna Ray hails from South Carolina with a nature-inspired color palette and ethereal paintings. I love this work!
