JEAN NICHOLS
Jean Nichols was drawn to Taos county in the 1960s in search of creative freedom. Nichols remains a painter committed to values typical, not only of Northern New Mexico during this era, but also of Paris’ Left Bank in the early 20th. century. The women of the Left Bank knew that choice is an essential component of fulfillment. In renouncing social convention, they created their own lives and practiced independence in their pursuit of intellectual and artistic interests. In doing so they changed the course of art history.
Experiencing the paintings of Jean Nichols, it becomes apparent that what matters to this artist is the vitality and freshness of her work. Her nude figures are pure passion concentrated to the point of reality on paper. Always in movement, they deny the straight line. They take on a playful fluidity arising from Nichols’ intuitive approach to painting. Many things seem broken in this uncertain time. Jean Nichols’ art delights the viewer with an alternative paradigm.

Ken's work has been called “experimental painting" - it reflects the brilliant sunlight and dramatic skies found only in the high-desert and mountains of Northern New Mexico and more recently the turquoise waters of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula.
"My paints are poured and brushed around forming rivers and pools of color and light. The images may look mostly abstract, but are representative of the locations and people I experience throughout my travels." Ken Feldman

My imagery is based on my love of and respect for the natural world and the life cycles within, telling tales of balance visible in the world around us. I learned a symbolic language to describe my view; repeated circles and squares, dark vs light, moon cycles, sine waves, plant/animal symbiotic relationships; all tools that became a matrix for my work and have stayed with me since. During 25+ years of working in watercolor-collage and printmaking in the Northwest, Seattle area and beyond, I exhibited in many venues and received multiple painting awards. Then in 2007 came an auspicious new beginning for me: a painting Fellowship at Helen Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos. When I subsequently move to the mountains of northern New Mexico my world and my artwork opened up in ways I never imagined.
There, in a land of high mountain air, abundant sun, striking visual landscape and strong cultural influences, I made an immediate shift to acrylic paints and bold color. During that New Mexico sojourn I was involved in a formative and trans-formative project with 3 other NM women artists called Creation/Migration, which expressed our shared interests in spiritual and familial stories including DNA lineage. My paintings gradually took on the quality of storytelling.
