Eneida Sanches
Visual Artist Eneida Sanches describes her art works as open windows that draws the viewer to a reflective and individual perception of conveyed messages. Her works speak to one's personal experience of universal themes - past, present time,and unknown future - often translated in her series like Heritages, Trance, About Affections, and Oracle. Eneida applies her knowledge in areas like architecture combined with her background experience in metal craftsmanship to create works derived from elements of Afro-Brazilian culture that she regards as tools to enable an interactive experience. By using drawing, collage, and printing, video interactive techniques aligned with materials like metal, wood, and paper, she unveils an eclectic perspective that catches the public's attention in a unique manner. Born in Brazil and currently living in São Paulo, Eneida Sanches has been presenting her works solo and in collaboration with other artists in international exhibits in Europe, Brazil, and US. Her extended curriculum includes also visiting artist residencies and guest artist positions in lecture and seminars at arts institutes and universities in Brazil, Holland, Portugal, Tanzania, and US. Some pieces of her works are now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., Museum of African Art in NYC, Afrika Museum in Berg den Dal Holland, and the NAFASI Artspace in Tanzania. Eneida worked as curator, coordinator and in the advisory board of highly regarded arts institutions in Brazil. She has been recently awarded a prize by the 23th Salão Anapolino de Artes Visuais for her series of art works. For more information about Eneida Sanches and her works visit lazygoatworks.com |

Dagny Glover
In her paintings and art works Dagny Glover explores an association between inner feelings and the ever changing gestures seen in breaking waters. Born on the northern coast of Germany, Dagny Glover studied Arts and Education Philosophy at the Lünenburg University and worked at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Her fascination with water motifs is evident in many of her paintings. The subjectivity of water scenes she depicts lies on the moment of an erupting wave. The techniques she uses in order to enhance depth in her paintings include various artistic approaches. To achieve full expression she opts for unique shades and deep tones of blue, making use of paper, and sometimes pieces of wood to serve as a canvas.
Her series Breaking the Waves unveils the water as an element in constant motion, subject to the changing rhythm of the sea with its wilderness and dangers. The richness of condensed colors in Dagny's paintings evokes sense of contemplation of a scene that is about to break and fade as it washes out into moving waters.
