About The Artists


Onaje Benjamin

Born in 1948, the same year that the Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, Onaje Benjamin was destined to be drawn into the turbulence of activism evolving out of the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 60’s. Being of African American and Caribbean descent & raised in Harlem provided a rich cultural foundation for Onaje to develop his creative framework.

Onaje pursued a career as a community organizer, activist and social worker, earning a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in liberal arts and social work. As a self-taught photographer, Onaje has sought to capture the complexity of lifestyles within the communities her resides and. He chooses to create monochromatic representations of the world he interprets through the lens.

Defining himself as a documentary/humanist photographer, Onaje’s work has been well received. He began his photographic work in the 80’s working with film cameras. Career demands required him to suspend his photography for a number of decades; only recently returning to the field upon retirement in 2015; which required a steep learning curve in the world of digital cameras and editing software.

Onaje’s work has been well received with his work being exhibited in galleries in the Mid-Hudson Valley, New England and New York City; including a solo show at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum. He has received numerous awards, including the Lelani Claire Award for Outstanding Achievement in Photography. He conducted artist talks at the Center for Photography in Woodstock.

Whether capturing the action of a women’s roller derby scrimmage or professional football game, or the intricate aspects of tattooing or political protest, Onaje’s photographs reflect the shifting cultural and political landscapes which make up the communities he resides within.

Lucille Colin
Lucille Colin majored in painting and minored in mathematics. She studied on the graduate level in both areas. Both are reflected in her work in the way she paints and draws, puts things together, and sees them as similar to mathematical puzzles.

Lucille has been a resident of art colonies in Europe and the United States including Yaddo, VCCA, Byrdcliff, Konstepidemin (Sweden) and in Rodez, France where she had several shows including Gallery St. Catherine. Colin has a one person show – Drawings on Film – at the Gallerie National Costa Rica curated by Dunia Molina.

She was chosen for two one person shows at WAAM Woodstock. She was recently in a fundraiser for Ukraine organized by April Gornik.

Matthew Crain
Pennsylvania-based photographer Matthew Crain has been honing his skills in spontaneous photography for several years. Things that are broken, have been discarded, have pieces missing: these are his favorite subjects. Originally a fiction writer and faithful chronicler of overheard remarks, Crain’s evolution into photography brought about a surprisingly happy shotgun marriage of image (the picture) and text (the caption) that do not have anything to do with each other. But after a while, they do.

Maxine Davidowitz
Maxine Davidowitz is a painter and printmaker living and working in West Shokan, NY. After a career as a magazine creative director, she returned to a fine art practice in 2008, studying under Annie Lapin, Nuala Clarke, Ilana Manolson, Donald Elder, Jenny Nelson, Kate McGloughlin and others. She exhibits her work frequently at venues in the Northeast, including both solo and group shows at The Lace Mill/Kingston, Emerge Gallery/Saugerties, 510 Warren Street/Hudson, Unison Arts/New Paltz, ArtBar/Kingston, Wired Gallery/High Falls, BAU/Beacon, The Lodge at Woodloch/Pennsylvania, the Woodstock School of Art and the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum. Her work has received honors at juried exhibitions, and is in many collections throughout the US. She has been awarded residencies at the Cill Rialaig Project in Ireland and the Brush Creek Arts Foundation in Wyoming. She currently serves as chair of the board of WAAM, the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, believing that supporting her colleagues in the Hudson Valley is of value to her own practice as well as to the community.

Maureen Gates
Maureen Gates has been creating photographic art for her clients in the Hudson Valley area since 1984. In the summer of 2002, a space became available in Rhinebeck, and Maureen realized her decade-long dream of moving her studio closer to home.

With an eye for detail, light, and shadow, she creates fine art images for personal and business use. She is best known for her contemporary approach, blending classical and modern to create natural and emotional images. Maureen enjoys alternative processing techniques and is known for working with Cyanotype, Van Dyke, and Infra-Red.

Maureen Gates is a member of the Professional Photographers of America. Maureen is a past president of Rhinebeck Rotary and served as an AG for Rotary District 7210. Maureen holds a Photographic Craftsmen Degree from PPA. HVPPSNY awarded her Black & White Infrared Imagery Print of the Year. Maureen was awarded the Fuji Masterpiece for her black-and-white photography.

Maureen resides in the Rhinebeck area with her golden retriever.

Dan Goldman
Through photography and the arts, I have traveled widely, and from this experience, gained insights into other people’s lives and cultures, and an appreciation for multiculturalism in a global society. My art practice began in my early twenties when I immersed myself in photography and art history.

In 2022, I received the Richard Edelman Award for my photography at WAAM.

Having been involved in several curatorial initiatives, significant recognition was received for my management of the “Smoke Signals” exhibit at Tivoli Art Gallery. This exhibition dealt with social justice and the environmental degradation of Indigenous people’s lands. The exhibit included 22 artists from the Hudson Valley working in different mediums including photography, painting, and sculpture.

Last year, in co-curating Behind the Veil, Dan and Onaje Benjamin worked to provide a nuanced, critical examination of racism in America with a diverse range of regional contemporary artists, many of those whose work represents their struggles with self, identity, and creative expression.

Dan regularly exhibits his work in the Hudson Valley and is working to expand his reach into Manhattan and other locations around the country.

Projects for 2024 include Icons and Walking Toward Eschaton.

Ed Grant
Ed Grant, originally from Vermont, lives and works in Brooklyn. He is a painter, photographer and carpenter. He received his BA in Studio Art from the University of Vermont and a MFA in Painting from UMASS/Amherst. Themes that inform his work often include liminality, yearning, displacement and unease. Increasingly, thoughts of mortality, memory, uncertainty and contradiction are becoming important elements to the work. He has shown throughout the United States and his work in is collections in Taiwan, Australia, the US and Europe.

James Hannaham
James Hannaham is a writer, a visual artist, or both. His novel Delicious Foods won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and was a New York Times Notable Book. He has shown work at The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, Open Source Gallery, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, and won Best in Show at Main Street Arts’ 2020 exhibit Biblio Spectaculum. In 2021 he released Pilot Impostor, a multigenre book inspired by an anthology of Fernando Pessoa’s poetry. His third novel, Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta, won the Ferro Grumley Award from the Publishing Triangle, a second Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, was a Kirkus Best Book of 2022, an LA Times Book Prize Finalist, and also a New York Times Notable Book. John Irving, writing in the New York Times Book Review, called it “wondrous;” the Financial Times praised the novel’s “unrelentingly vulgar language.” He recently became a Guggenheim fellow, thereby losing the ability to complain about pretty much anything. There’s more, but we don’t have all day.

Trang Huynh
Trang Huynh was born in 2002 in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam and currently lives and works in the United States. She is a senior General Fine Arts student at Maryland Institute College of Art(MICA), specializing in oil painting and printmaking. Historical, political and personal references of growing up in a Vietnamese Post-War generation acts as a catalyst for Trang Huynh to use art as a healing tool. She portrays people with colorful traditional clothes in intimate settings to explore the intertwined relationship between love, pain and forgiveness. She received several awards, such as the Creative Vision Award, Dean’s Grant, etc. In 2019, Huynh had a solo exhibition titled “War and Conflict” in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. She has also participated in various group exhibitions including “FYE 2022 Student Exhibit” at Leidy Atrium, Baltimore, MD and “Jeans On, Jeans Off” at Lazarus Center, Baltimore, MD.

Yoko Izu
Yoko Izu is a Japanese American abstract artist and lifelong creative. Born in Woodstock, NY, she spent 20+ years across NYC, Japan, and South Africa before returning to the upstate area in 2021. She rediscovered her love for painting the following year and has since continued exploring ways to merge her American upbringing with her Japanese roots through the use of different materials and techniques.

Her mixed-media approach starts with acrylic paint on heavyweight paper or canvas, often paired with a technique loosely inspired by monotype printing to create additional textures and patterns. Tapping into her childhood fondness for paper crafts, she also incorporates specialty papers (predominantly washi) for layers and depth, and gold as signature marks.

Yoko is currently based in the Hudson Valley and studies under Melanie Delgado at the Woodstock School of Art.

Roxie Johnson
Born and raised in a tiny suburb of NYC, I grew up a quirky, shy, pencil thin young girl. Creativity was second nature to me, and it was in my formative years I learned to trust my curiosity and inner muse. Hours of deconstructing and rebuilding became a favorite childhood pastime. Full circle, this remains a trademark of the work I produce today.

As a fine artist and educator of the visual arts for 40+ years, I have taught a full range of studio technique and medium, with a focus on building emotionally stable and safe environments for young creatives. I relocated to the Hudson River Valley in 1984 amidst completing an MFA in Illustration with honors from Syracuse University. Career highlights include: National Endowment for the Humanities / grant recipient; Skidmore college / 2 summer printmaking fellowships; with additional studies conducted in Florence, Italy and Santa Fe, NM. Select awards have been received from the Palm Spring Art Museum and NAWA (National Association of Women Artists), along with recognition in the Smithsonian Institute Archives of American Art for greeting card design. (Thank you, Jim Mullen!) Known widely in past years for my unique approach to the etching process, I have exhibited in juried competitions nationally as well as in galleries of the Mid Hudson and Metropolitan area.

When growing up, it was my Dad who initially instilled in me the importance of both craft and education. At 71, I find myself once again a student…back in the classroom, expanding boundaries, launching a new site, and simply loving it.

Chong Kang
Art shapes forms and colors, creating a narrative that resonates with everyone’s personal experience.

Chong received her BFA in painting from MICA in Baltimore, MD, and has been a muralist since the late 80s and received painting commissions from private clients throughout the United States, Great Britain, and France. She has participated in group shows from NC to NYC and solo shows in commercial spaces.

There is a relationship between the classical periods and modernity that is constantly being explored in her paintings. Chong utilizes urban and natural environments as symbolic subjects. Her exaggerated tones and neon colors document contemporary times.

Tracy Leavitt
Hudson Valley artist, Tracy A. Leavitt, holds a BFA from Maine College of Art and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Engaging with philosophical and spiritual questions, Leavitt often locates her work in the liminal space between painting and sculpture, incorporating found objects, natural materials, and unusual technologies in the creation of expanded painting and installation. Leavitt is dedicated to making work with an eye on sustainable methods and materials that speak to a new psychological, cultural, and social evolution with respect to all beings that inhabit our shared planet. Group exhibitions include the Jane Street Gallery, Saugerties, NY; SoWA Gallery, Boston, MA; Patricia Doran Gallery, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston, MA; Muroff Kotler Gallery, SUNY, Stone Ridge, NY; Woodstock Artist Association and Museum, Woodstock, NY; Ask Gallery, Kingston, NY.

She has studied abstract painting, collage,, and printmaking at the Woodstock School of Art and is a founding member of the Women Photographers Collective of the Hudson Valley. Her photography, collages and prints are often combined to create a synergy that allows her to play with depth, texture, geometry and color. Her travels have often been fertile ground for inspiration. Marcus lives in Woodstock, New York where she is on the board of the Woodstock Library and works as an Associate Broker at Halter Associates Realty.

Jim Nickel
Jim Nickel studied philosophy and classical languages as a seminarian, attended and later taught 3D design at Washington University, earned his MFA and teaching certification at Columbia University, has been a visiting artist in the New York State school system, and for four decades, has had his studio in Brooklyn. Photography, printmaking, painting and sculpture are the major media. His current black and white “Venture Series” sculptures, inspired by stark commercial logos, cautionary street markings, signs, and imperatives, codify the pressures and regimentation of contemporary life, and formulate their ultimate resolution. Some works recall the vividness of pre-digital black and white photography. Work has appeared in New York outdoor venues and galleries, and has been represented by the Terry Moore and Atrium Galleries in St.Louis. Among his collectors are the Library of Congress, NY Public Library, Rutgers University, UC Chico, St. Louis Art Museum, as well private collectors, corporations, and designers.

A post-disciplinary artist, his diverse body of work spans across various mediums, including drawing, painting, collage, video, large-scale participatory sculptures, and ambient musical compositions. David’s artwork is profoundly influenced by the disharmonious cultures that clashed around him from a young age. David’s mother is a lesbian and psychotherapist while his father is a Hasidic Jewish news editor. Existing in these two worlds, he follows the conceptual threads of compassion, relationship to divinity, self, and the sublime.

Eileen Power
Eileen Power’s path to becoming an artist was a circuitous one. She was born and raised in New York City to immigrant parents. Though art was not a part of her education, she always believed she was an artist. It simply wasn’t possible to be one full time before having an alternate career.

After an interesting and challenging career in marketing, Eileen was finally able to leave the business environment to pursue art. In 2016, Eileen moved from New York City to Woodstock, NY and studied printmaking and plein air painting under Kate McGloughlin at the Woodstock School of Art.

In her home studio, she has been creating art made from everyday objects, animating them in unusual ways. She enjoys upcycling things that others might discard and making them into art.

Mimi Young
Mimi Young is an interdisciplinary artist currently living in Olivebridge, NY.

Growing up during the 1970’s and 80’s in NYC exposed her to a culture and esthetic that informs her work to this day. As a young teen, she would ride the subway from her home in Jackson Heights, Queens into Manhattan to experience the world outside her neighborhood. Mimi would go to ashrams to do yoga, loiter in Central Park and meander the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1979, after receiving her BFA in drawing from Pratt Institute, she moved into a loft in a desolate area in Brooklyn. There, in what is now DUMBO, she had her first studio. Through people she met at nightclubs, Mimi soon began participating in fashion shoots. With her keen eye and sense of adventure it was to become a 30+ year enterprise as a successful fashion stylist working internationally on commercials and photo shoots. These experiences provided the fodder for her work during that time.

Since moving her studio to the Hudson Valley in 2016, Mimi’s work has changed focus as she shifted from an urban sensibility to a more rural one. Aside from painting and drawing, she includes sculpture and installation in her arsenal.

Mimi Young’s work has been included in various group shows in the Mid-Hudson area and is included in private collections.
