Cathie Joy Young & Anna Todaro

Cathie Young – Painting is inspiring me to paint. It is my one and only favorite mystery. I follow where it goes and sometimes it is troublesome. Sometimes it is bliss with back pain. It is something I can do which has relevance in and of itself but it is unexplainable. Words interrupt the long conversation. Images are so forgiving. If I can make a painting to be looked at and seen again and again, if I can make a painting that means something at different times and in different places, then I have made some impact in time and space. I use the cross (+) a lot, symbolizing the intersection of time and space, but as with all symbols, it represents many other things as well. This is why I paint.
Anna Todaro is a Chicago native who currently resides in Portland, OR.
The Creatures – No name really feels right for these beings. Creatures! is just a word I use to classify the ones I can not name.
Luminus Vitalis (Light Life) – These are extremely warm beings who exist multi-dimensionally. They and their minors are each marked with a series of nodes Small Maroon Dots and Blotches. Each node representats a current occupation and or destination. The Luminus Vitalis can sometimes appear sad. It’s my opinion that they only appear this way and are actually quite happy.
