Karen Stecker, The Goddess Collection
“I have explored and studied art since I was a little girl and consider creative expression an essential aspect of who I am,” states Karen. “I learned sewing and woodworking at my father’s knee and have studied painting, ceramics, sculpture, and metal smithing in various forums.
The creation of the “Goddess” came to me over time and tapped on my shoulder until I paid attention, and gave her life. She reflects our need to make sense of ourselves and our universe beyond what we understand as sentient beings. The use of stones, fiber, metal, and wood allows me to take materials from earth’s creative force and create something transcendent. The ‘energy’ of each goddess is meant to reflect her special message to the world.”
Jane Nassano, Pastel and Mixed Media
“This is what I was born to do. From the time that I was eight years old, I knew that I would be an artist,” states Jane. “There just wasn't any doubt, no second choice, no question. To create art, in whatever form it may be, is part of my purpose in this life."
While recognized throughout the western United States for her vibrant pastel paintings, Jane is best known for her diversity. From large scale works to tiny miniatures, her realistic soft pastel florals, nudes, and landscapes captivate her viewers and collectors. For a completely different twist from the controlled realism of her pastels, her new series of mixed-media monoprints are abstract and unexpected. Using bits and pieces of found objects, torn paper, and fabrics, they tell whimsical stories with color and texture.
Jane Nassano holds a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Arizona State University, with a specialization in Graphic Design. She has completed post graduate work at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. For over twenty years, Jane has been a “working” Fine Artist. She’s won numerous awards for her work and has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions throughout the country.
Lori Meyers, Glass, Steel, Stone
Throughout her life, Lori has always pursued art. In high school, she turned her bedroom into a stained glass studio. Every field Lori has worked in has involved art and design on one level or another. Today, she continues to work in both oils and glass. Lori’s paintings — whether on glass or canvas — are a reflection of many influences such as her passion for travel, her love of color, her appreciation of the great outdoors with its diversity and changing beauty, and her interest in both current and past narratives on various cultures. Variety within the medium, combined with artistic freedom to always explore both new subjects and techniques, keeps the pursuit fresh and exciting. At the end of day, Lori feels incredibly fortunate to do what she loves.
On The Edge Gallery represents over forty Arizona artists -- from emerging artists to internationally recognized artists. On The Edge Gallery is located in the Downtown Scottsdale Arts District in an airy 2000 square foot gallery. The gallery displays a diverse array of original fine art and unique gift items. On The Edge artists work in the gallery every day and run all aspects of the business.
