The monumental labors of women that often go unnoticed, and the resilience of women under the invisible weight they carry are themes interwoven in the current work of interdisciplinary artist Nirmal Raja.
Nirmal's current solo exhibition at the Portrait Society Gallery of Contemporary Art is titled Grace and Grit, and highlights her current authentic obsession with material intimacy. Nirmalâs keen observations and curiosity during her 3-month Kohler Arts/Industry residency resulted in an inspirational and wide body of work, including works cast in iron and brass, sound recordings and photographs. Nirmal is also part of the Paglees, a feminist collective of artists of South Asian origin living across the United states, currently exhibiting their work at the South Asia institute in Chicago.
Nirmal collaborates with other artists and strongly believes in investing energy into her immediate community while also considering the global.

Stones, learning, confidence, pattern and line, expressing beauty, and promoting your work are just a few topics artist Rena Diana covers today.
After retiring from a fulfilling career as an educator in Baltimore, Rena started focusing full time on her artwork. She worked every day in a studio at the Art Students League in New York City, where she began painting abstract landscapes. Rena is fortunate to divide her time between Baltimore and her home on Lake Champlain in Vermont, which is the source of much of her inspiration.
Rena on art journals and sketching: "Throughout my adult life, I have kept notebooks chronicling my observations and experiences. Gradually these became art journals, filled with sketches and collages, along with personal narrative and remarks about the creative process. As these notebooks evolved into more formal exercises, I realized that they were distinct art forms in themselves. At that point, I began creating larger, single pieces. These art journals remain a core part of my studio practice."
Takeaways
You develop confidence as you learn to trust yourself and the process. Believe in yourself and that what you have to share with other people is valuable.Itâs a marathon. A long game.Learning is the best antidepressant.First think about who YOU are before you decide how and where youâre going to promote your work.Links

Carol Paik, a New York based artist, is interested in many different media, but really found meaning working with repurposed textiles. After years of buying expensive and often toxic materials for her work, her goal now is to create art exclusively out of the unappreciated, overlooked, landfill-destined stuff she finds around her, of which there is never a shortage.
She most enjoys taking something that is overlooked, and looking at it closely. Or, taking something too frequently seen, and looking at it slightly differently. She is interested in the emotions that we bring to the things we discard: nostalgia, guilt, desire, and loss, and her goal is to give these objects--and, by extension, ourselvesânew possibilities.During our chat, Carol talked about the idea of leaving a mark without marring a landscape, specifically in relation to her cairn projects, but it got me thinking of that in a broader sense. And she also assured me that sometimes finishing a project is overrated.

Takeaways
Ask yourself: Why do I need to do it THAT way?Keep your eye on the road because wherever youâre looking is where youâll end up.Take a closer look.If you limit yourself, youâll look at things in a different way.Look around for things you can reuse for your projects.Links

Joanne is an artist and photographer whose work is âbased in semi-abstraction, purposefully balanced between representational and the imagined. in my role as an artist, these two elements have become an integral part of my motivation to create, with the âdoingâ often as important as the outcome. I firmly believe that natural curiosity and creative pursuits are essential to healthy living, regardless of age or education.â Jo shares her experiences and how they impact her daily life and her long term connections. Her obsession with fragility and delicacy is linked to her fascination with awe and transience, resiliency, and mortality.
Takeaways
If you really listen to people, you hear more. If you really look, you see more. If you care, you get more.A piece is finished when it stops talking to me.Resilience is tolerating emotional discomfort.Ask yourself, âAnd whatâs so bad about that?âAccept limitations that some things just canât be changed.

Weather, layers, inner worlds, thick living and 10,000 folded paper cranes. Briannaâs work is driven by world-building. Sheâs interested in exploring possible and impossible landscapes that may or may not exist on this planet, in this dimension, in a memory, a dream, or a visionâŠthey may never have existed anywhere â until now. Her creations convey an architectural/organic world which thrives in paradox and ambiguity; itâs a place that gives voice to so much more than can be articulated with sound or words. Each piece she creates is an earnest translation of the feelings, ideas, images, landscapes, and visions of her inner world â for Brianna, the ultimate goal of her creative life is to ardently impart to your inner world what she can from her own.
Takeaways
We are all complicated nuanced onion layers of humans.We are all works in progress.The lessons are everywhere.Sharing of the art is just as important as the creating of the art.There are no mistakes in art. If you think itâs not right, itâs just not done.We are little time tornadoes creating our own weather.Links

Where You See Yourself, Claire Forrest -
Lisa Kellner went through a major transition in her work life, moving from a textile installation artist back to her true love of painting. Over the course of a few years, she dug deep, got really honest with herself, and saw how all the intangible parts of herself find their way into her work. Lisa uses a reductive language and intuitive approach to make paintings and sculptural constructions about the environment, societal constructs and how we occupy space.
Takeaways
1. Is there urgency?
2. Make sure your roots are strong.
3. Give space between you and your work.
4. Find comfort in the space of not knowing.
5. Donât discount those parts of yourself that you canât quantify or measure.Links
