Svetlana Askenazy
As a self-taught artist, I am driven to explore a multitude of techniques and mediums, each one a gateway to a different world, much like my childhood escape through drawing. Imagination and the creation of something unique have always been treasures I hold dear and aim to achieve. I allow myself to be exposed to a diverse range of art forms, from traditional acrylic paintings that are evolving into mixed media, to window painting, metal art painting, and mural creation.
My journey as an artist is an ongoing odyssey, a testament to the power of resilience and the unwavering desire to express the soul's deepest needs. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to explore their own unique paths and find solace in the boundless world of creativity.

Arden Klemmer
Arden Klemmer is curious about patterns: the ones found in nature, culture, families, and fabric. She asks us to examine our roles and connection with others through touching and interactive pieces that bring you into the context of another. Klemmer's work uses tools, decor, and domesticated animals to give special focus to elements of our deep and complex context. They symbolize special conditions that may have yielded today’s circumstances. Each piece asks the viewer to consider the humanity of others, our connection to the other, and the social agreements we’ve made, past and present.
Klemmer practices painting, sculpture, and installation art from her studio at Garner Arts Center. She has shown at icebox4 gallery, the Hudson Valley Maker Faire, Garner Arts, X House Nyack, and has attended Vermont Studio Center Residency, the Saxe Stonecarving Workshop, and Les Rioutes Residency. She plans to attend Lucky Star Farms Residency.
Klemmer also works as a yoga instructor, a co-founder of Haverstraw United Football Club, and a Senior Principal Product Designer at Coforma, where she leads projects with a focus on group ideation, storytelling, and efficient design solutions. Her career combines human narratives, creative problem solving, and technical implementation.
