painting and collage as both creative practice and meditation. While living in
Illinois, she studied with distinguished ceramics artists at the Evanston, Highland

also designed jewelry and functional objects using wood, ceramics, and leather.
Irina continues her art education online through the Moscow Tarutina Art School.

Alan Wayne Powell

‍

Alan Powell has been working as a visual artist for over fifty years. From 1971 until the mid
1990’s, he worked almost exclusively with video and electronic imaging, but has expanded to
working with acrylic, gouache, iPad Procreate, collage work, and photographic work. Powell
spends his time between Philadelphia, and Fleischmanns, NY, where his main studio is located.
He continues to work with electronic media as well as physical art mediums including drawings
made with iPad Procreate, paintings made with acrylic and gouache and constructions.. In recent
years, Powell has become invested in man’s relationship to the world around him; he has
channelled this into his artwork via political installation pieces and a collection of nature
paintings. In addition to being a professor and an artist he is also a board member of Signal
Culture, and TermiteTV video collective.
