CHRISTINE RASMUSSEN
ART AND CAKE - Christine Rasmussen: Liminal Transcendence at George Billis Gallery November 29, 2022 | By Kristine Schomaker The real becomes imagined. Truth turns to fiction. Stories are remade. Patterns come together with design to distort our perspective of whether it is a building or an abstract painting or both. VIEW ARTICLE |

LISA GOLIGHTLY
AMERICAN ART COLLECTOR - Traveling Through Memories November 2022 | Issue 205 Golightly starts her process with smaller sketches and then she expands her scenery to a much larger scale—purposely losing some of the finer details. "I often find that when you focus on one tiny bit of an overall image it tells a better story," she says. VIEW ARTICLE |

DANNY HELLER
SUPERSONIC ART - Danny Heller's "Wonderland" October 18, 2022 Heller uses his refined artist’s eye and virtuosic ability with oil paint to emphasize the groundbreaking hard-edged geometries used in these designs. Light and shadow play off the structures - creating new geometries - which further emphasize these architects’ outside-the-box thinking. VIEW ARTICLE |

DANNY HELLER
AMERICAN ART COLLECTOR - Wonder to Behold October 2022 | Issue 204 Working from photographs, Heller paints the striking architectural compositions of the buildings in a fitting composition of his own. He adjusts color and lighting to emphasize lines and mood. But he doesn't amp it up much—maybe just a bit of warmth to a white surface or a careful framing of trees. VIEW ARTICLE |

MARGARET LAZZARI
RIOT MATERIAL - Margaret Lazarri's Luminous 'Breathing Space' September 26, 2022 | By Nancy Kay Turner Lazzari’s sublime paintings are beautiful and disturbing, calm and agitated, lulling the viewer with intense color and dreamy gesture, while bubbling beneath the surface is a restlessness, an uncertainty.

RON RIZK
AMERICAN ART COLLECTOR - Complicated Histories May 2022 | Issue 199 | By Gina Teichert Though familiar, there is an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality to Rizk's paintings, achieved through a unique model building process. Instead of working from photographs, Rizk creates models in his studio and paints them from observation. VIEW ARTICLE |

CHRISTINE RASMUSSEN
VOYAGE LA - Check Out Christine Rasmussen's Story March 21, 2022 "As a painter, I investigate the in-between, depicting cityscapes that hover between familiar and imagined. In observing these urban spaces devoid of people, I play with the dichotomies of memory versus daydream, belonging versus aloneness, and even narrative versus abstraction; the 'story' continues off the canvas, letting the viewer’s imagination step in." - Christine Rasmussen VIEW ARTICLE |

RAYMOND LOGAN
ARTILLERY MAGAZINE - Raymond Logan at George Billis Gallery March 8, 2022 | By Genie Davis Created in oil paint, using both palette knife and brush, Logan’s images are exhilaratingly lovely and magical. That magic is the sleight-of-hand the artist employs, cohering disparate slivers of color into a cohesive image. VIEW ARTICLE |

CHRISTOPHER STOTT
AMERICAN ART COLLECTOR - Hidden Symbolism March 2022 | Issue 197 Stott utilizes the same techniques that Dutch masters were using 400 years ago. He works in many layers to create a luminous effect under different lighting. It's also very much about balance and symmetry for Stott, which is represented in his clock pieces. VIEW ARTICLE |
