 Addie Hocynec thrives on variety. This is illustrated through her many
careers as well as in her artwork, as she explores media from
photography to oils, pastels to dyes on silk. Whatever her choice, her
work always evokes a strong sense of organic femininity. Energetic,
free-flowing, vibrant, saturated colors are consistent signatures of
all her pieces.

 With advances in technology and communication, the world of visual arts
is constantly changing. The almost limitless potential of graphic
design software and the rise of digital illustration and stock
photography libraries have led some to believe that the professional
world of traditional illustration is declining. Although some design
critics believe that hand-rendered illustration has lost its luster,
artists like Gina Triplett and Matt Curtius bring illustration to life
in local Philadelphia galleries as well as in the corporate mainstream.

 Benjamin Johnson’s work has always focused on the natural world. His
artist’s statement reads like a transcendentalist passage written by
Thoreau or Emerson, eschewing the often pretentious justifications of
other modern artists. Johnson’s objective is to create honest work that
really speaks to the viewer. “Nature is the constant that binds us. It
is the energy that drives us. And one of my main goals in painting is
to create a bridge between those who view my artwork and nature,” he
explains.

Producers and Creative Arts Entrepreneurs Serve Up a Tall Glass of Milkboy.
Thoughts of a recording studio may include images reminiscent of
cinematic depictions—a dingy, brown-paneled mixing room with engineers
hunched over multi-track mixing boards, while a strung out vocalist
attempts one last take.

 Finding the Beauty in the Everyday
Washing dishes, short-order cooking, bartending and driving a taxi cab
are just a few ways that artist Glenn Harren earned a living before
painting became his full-time career. So perhaps it’s no surprise to
find that Harren’s work presents working people so perfectly—the clerk
behind a candy counter, a Wawa employee refreshing coffee pots, patient
shoppers in a long line at Costco. In every piece, Harren finds “the
dignity of the human figure.”

 The sidewalk in front of an art gallery on the corner of 3rd and
Arch in Philadelphia is busy with first Friday traffic. Standing
outside the building in the cool fall air, Jennifer Yaron, 25, and
Marguerite McDonald, 26, take a much-needed break from the hustle and
bustle within its walls. Though the moment of relaxation is interrupted
a few times by frantic employees, the two are insistent on taking a few
moments away from the event they are hosting for the Philadelphia Mural
Arts Program.

Bucks County artist Glenn Harrington proves a pictureʼs
worth a thousand words.
If you’re an avid reader of 19th century literature, there’s a
very good chance that you’ve already encountered Glenn
Harrington’s work. Having been commissioned to paint
the cover art for over 500 books including such classics as
Room with a View, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights
and two series of oils on the plays and poetry of William
Shakespeare and W.B. Yeats, Harrington most assuredly has
an eye for historical storytelling.
