Artist Jeremy Miranda (previously) paints in a space between worlds: reality and memory, indoor and outdoor, past and present. Ideas and concepts bleed together within his acrylic paintings like the fuzzy edges of a dream, where powerful images exist amongst unexpected locations and backdrops. The New Hampshire-based artist is heavily influenced by his surroundings in the American Northeast, apparent in his depiction of dense woods, crashing waves, and the recurring motif of lush greenhouses—a more literal depiction of his mixing of environments.

It may seem like grief is one lifelong paradox. Try these activities to get comfortable with the dissonance created by mixed up emotions.
I found some lost photographs taken by my father. After I saw these images, I started remembering old times and old friends. However, I did not remember everyone.

Artist Jeremy Miranda is fascinated with how the mind creates memories and the juxtaposition of experiences both real and perceived. His oil paintings overlap interior and exterior environments to create unexpected relationships between disparate subjects, usually natural versus man-made. The interior of an artist’s studio dissolves into a bucolic river landscape, a bookshelf leads into the ocean, or a glowing furnace is concealed below a quiet pond. Miranda most recently had an exhibit at Nahcotta Gallery in New Hampshire where several of his original works are currently available. More
I had such an amazing time talking to the incredible painter Daisy Patton! Daisy is so easy to talk to and incredibly sharp, it was a blast to record this with her.

I felt like I was hanging out with my painting BFF. From Los Angeles, California, Daisy Patton moved back and forth between Oklahoma and California during her childhood. She spe

David Szauder’s latest series ‘Failed Memory’ is a work inspired by the parallels he sees between human and digital memory: ‘Our brains store away images to retrieve them later, like files stored away on a hard drive. But when we go back and try to re-access those memories, we may find them to be corrupted […]
by Alex NicholsWhen my mom’s best friend’s mother died, I created a weaving using her antique jewelry and favorite colors. She has a small antique shop and that was a way for the daughter to have a daily reminder of her mom and a piece of art for her wall.I decided to call them Memory Weavings to help people remember and have something from their loved one.My grandfather passed away and I wanted to make something that would remind me of him. So, I made a weaving using his ties and belts and shirts, favorite colors and his aloha shirt. I cut the aloha shirt into strips of fabric. You can see the ties and buttons in the weaving. I added a butterfly because he loved them. It was something I wanted to do.I did two memory weavings for two sisters who wanted to remember their grandfather who loved Yosemite and his dogs. I used two of his flannel shirts, patches from Yosemite, colors of Yosemite, and ornaments of his dogs which were Doberman Pinchers. I cut the flannel shirt into strips and wove them with the yarn. I used some camping rope, sticks, and some beads. I didn’t want to cut the patches up so I had to glue them on with help from my mom. They were so happy that they were crying. It made me feel good to help someone remember their grandfather.I just made one for a father who wanted to give his daughter and her wife a special present for her birthday using rainbow colors. The couple recently moved and started a new life so I used butterflies to mean change and rings and a heart for love. One of them is a teacher and the other works on games so I used colored pencils, markers, a pencil, a school bus button, and coins and fruit to represent games. I like Fruit Ninja so that reminded of games.Alex Nichols is a free style weaver who follows the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which represents embracing imperfection. Using a Saori loom and various hand weaving techniques, Alex creates wild and free wall hangings mixing textures and vibrant colors using yarn and unconventional materials such as strips of fabric from clothing like Aloha shirts, wire ribbon, jewelry, and toys.Strings are left unfinished, tufts of roving are stuffed in, and items dangle to create an impressionist piece that delights and surprises viewers when they spy an unexpected item. Alex is an artist with special needs who expresses himself through weaving and painting. Visit his website

I used vintage black and white photos and blend them with fragments of nature to create visual stories. I fit the natural elements into shapes of bodies, windows and floors to boldly interrupt the old-fashioned events with modern, color components.
