Hi, I’m a Norwood Mixed Media artist/ art teacher specializing in acrylic pouring, alcohol inks, chalk pastels, digital collage, metal inked chic décor, oil, watercolor, printmaking glass bead jewelry, ear rings and photography. I own both Kris A Lis Designs and Phoenix Rising Art and teach workshops.
(Kris-A-Lis) "The art of change, the act of change in the process of change."I offer various mixed media artwork that inspire, mirror thoughts, and embody emotions.These paintings are a conduit to my inner self and a way of reflecting and recounting where I’ve been, where I am, and where I am going. Whether I am teaching children and adults, or alone in my studio enjoying the colors I paint, art is a constant agent of transformation in my soul’s drive to health. When I am not creating, I’m fishing. Prints and originals available for sale.

Nancey Brackett owned a horse farm for thirty-three years in Canton, NY., and upon retiring turned to another passion. Her grandmother was a gifted silversmith and passed on the love of silver, and the desire to be creative. While on the farm, Nancey took some silver work classes, and started to play with bezel setting stones.
After selling the farm, a three-week intensive jewelry class at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico introduced her to the art of channel inlay, and cutting her own stones. She returned to New York and set up My Corner Studio. Nancey has been back to Ghost Ranch for anadvanced course, and spends time in Tucson at a Gem and Lapidary Club learning new techniques. She attends the Tucson International Gem show, largest in the world, each year to buy stones and slabs for inlay.
Check out her website, mycornerstudiosilver.com, find her at local art shows, and mycornerstudio on Facebook and Instagram. The studio is open by appointment, and fall studio tour.
Nathan is a self-taught potter who began working with clay in 2021. He enjoys throwing on the wheel and focused early on learning to throw larger portions of clay to create bigger forms. While living on Wilson Hill Island in Massena, he founded Seaway Ceramics, inspired by his location on the St. Lawrence River, so that he could begin selling the pots he had made.
Nathan now lives in Brusthon, NY, where he has transformed a former horse barn into a functional pottery studio. In addition to throwing on the wheel, Nathan also enjoys hand-building and plays with sculpture. He makes serving trays, mugs, and vases, which he decorates using weeds plucked from the fields behind his barn. Nathan works primarily with stoneware, which he fires in his electric kiln, but also enjoys experimenting with other clays and firing techniques.

Seadon is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blurs the line between reality and perception. Through photography, mixed media, and conceptual staging, they explore themes of transition, disconnection, and the hidden narratives beneath everyday life. Their practice blends spontaneous discovery with deliberate construction, often using modest materials and surreal lighting to create scenes that feel both familiar and unsettling. Grounded in a belief that beauty and truth emerge from imperfection and constraint, Seadon invites viewers to question the structures that shape their realities. Their work has been recognized in local exhibitions, earning critical acclaim for its emotional depth and inventive visual language.
I am a Creatives Rebuild New York 2022-2024 Fellow and am a contemporary visual artist who holds the ancient Eastern philosophy of ‘Chi’, also called Energy, Spirit, and Soul, deep in my heart. ‘Chi’ is the backbone of my work.
Circles are the totems of my recent work because they represent positive energies. All the circles in various phrases and expressions in my work show the intimate echoes of my autobiographical reflections of personal sentiment. To me, the Circle conveys the energy of peace and harmony; by incorporating them with my artistic practice, my goal is to pursue the positive dialogues between my artistic creation and my life.
I have been working with various media such as oil, water base media, and mixed media in two and three dimensions. Oil has been my primary medium, with which I enjoy building textures with two important elements: color and layer effect. I have shown my work in New York City, New York State and abroad.
