Our future holds two paths. One is the result of fighting for our humanity now, while the other is continuing down a road of disconnection. If we choose connections, soul and vulnerability now, our near future becomes a world of balance and unity. However, if we choose to rely heavily on technology and consumerism in an unhealthy, gluttonous way, we lose ourselves and end up in a cold, rigid world. Even still, If this is the path we continue down, the need for a deeper human experience will eventually cause us to fight back for the connection that humans are meant to have and will ultimately break through the confines of a soulless society.

Working mainly in encaustic - abstract, but inspired by nature. At times referencing industrial landscapes.

I explore life and mystery through my art. I have always been drawn to the ritual, be it formalized religion, iconography, or hocus-pocus/voodoo/mysticism. I examine the relationships between the sacred and the profane, even within the everyday banalities of existence, with mystery and myth surrounding all. My method of breaking down the actual materials used, and then breaking down the imagery, is part of the sacrifice of the hand of the artist making marks, part of the ritual of making art.I define my process as working and reworking an image, leaving artifacts of the struggle of the toolmark and of the image, creating a contemporary statement and form.

Prediction is a piece about fear of the future. Our oceans will be so polluted, they will no longer be blue.
The mechanical claws dropping people represents one of my biggest fears, which is that we are no longer free. We are controlled by something greater now and if that "thing" wants to pluck us from our lives and drop us into the polluted waters, it can.

Each of these abstract collages is just over 7" x 5" x 1.5". They're made of de-acidified magazine clippings pasted to archival mat board attached to wood cradles with painted sides. The clippings come from many sources, but I used a limited palette throughout the series. In addition to being hung, any of them can sit upright on a shelf.

Brought up in West Chester borough, I always yearned to create. Heavily influenced by the carvings of my grandfather, Disney and Warner Brothers backgrounds and animation and all creatives who use sound and vision. Using mostly acrylic, I create dreamed up landscapes and abstracts, adding characters that blend with their surroundings, branching and morphing into many things.

I have been doing shadowboxes since the start of the new year and I’ve been having so much fun!

My process begins with intentions written on a blank substrate. I layer lines and marks that I add intuitively without any preconceived notions. The lines flow, are dynamic and create movement. Some are strong and bold, others whisper. All are the scaffolding of the piece and may be repeated in subsequent layers. I then start adding color in multiple layers, scraping back to reveal underlayers as I build the piece. I try not to let my mind take control. I want the essence of my work to be emotional and passionate. I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world in its glory and its decaying forms. Achieving beauty in my work is key to moving the viewer. Although I often paint from natural world inspiration, I add abstracted elements so the viewer can bring their personal experiences and feelings to interpreting the work. It is a dynamic I strive to achieve. I hope my work conveys a sense of uplifting energy, empowering inspiration, a moment of escape and always,beauty.

In this 10"x20" acrylic painting, a young girl pauses from playing with her rocket in a field of wildflowers and pulls at a string in the sky, revealing the universe beyond it. Galaxies swirl above her, her dream of exploring and all the possibilities the future holds. This painting is a glimpse into the future and a reminder that girls can be and do anything! The limits we see aren’t real. They’re simply waiting to be pulled back.
Jacqueline Rose @jacqueliner0seart
I have to create them still. paintings of future culture, prophecy mixed with conspiracy, government agenda and spirituality and futuristic narratives. I know my first one will be capturing project blue bean.

I would describe my work as abstract and colorful with a street-inspired edge, incorporating hidden, written text to balance chaos, grit, and emotional storytelling.

I draw from the intersections of personal memory, pop culture, and sometimes food. Acrylic, mixed media, digital, AI, VR, 3D modeling, 3D printing—even noise/industrial rap are all vehicles used to explore the tension between what is wild and what can be shaped.

These paintings explore forest intelligence and interconnected root systems. The tree serves as both form and metaphor—its visible structure anchored above while its roots dissolve into unseen networks of exchange. Metallic Lines from sky to root system highlight the connection of all things. The work envisions a future grounded in ecological awareness, where humanity recognizes its inseparable connection to nature.
