A Late Frost | Richard Morris
I work in broken glass. As has been said of Charles Bukowski, “you have to shatter the fragile, fake glass of ‘perfect’ beauty to create or appreciate a beauty that is durable, honest, and real.” That is what I look for in breaking glass--the beauty found even in the destruction of a late frost.

Beautiful Champaign, Illinois | Lorraine Graham
Beauty shows up in the everyday here in Illinois. I’ve driven past this pond on First Street in Champaign countless times, always on my way somewhere. Today I finally pulled over. Standing there for a minute, just taking it in, the place was simply gorgeous — no fuss, no big moment, just a quiet landscape worth noticing.

Becoming | Sydney Bruner
When I originally began this painting, I was processing grief. I was angry with myself and with others, but mostly with the world. The painting sat unfinished in the corner of my studio for a year. Finally, after moving it aside for the umpteenth time, I put it back on my easel to finish–mostly out of spite. I sat in the same chair months later, staring before me at this half-finished painting with softer eyes.
I thought about the person I’ve become in the last year. I wasn’t angry anymore, but held space for the woman in me that was. I don’t find it a coincidence that I chose such a large canvas at such a mentally taxing period of my life. In some ways, the size of the canvas was directly tied to the size of the emotions I was trying to process, even if on a subconscious level. Red is one of my favorite colors. Coincidentally, color psychology suggests that red is a color of anger, action, and passion. Sitting with yourself in a transitional period of life can be uncomfortable. I’ve found comfort in the idea that everything is connected–the canvas, my grief, my color palette, my avoidance. I don’t have all the answers to the intricacies of the world, but there is solace in the process of becoming.

Calli Lily in Blue | Michael Holtz
The Calla Lily is probably the most photographed flower used in fine art photography. For me, the single stem of the blue toned Calla Lily creates a “blue feeling” or sense of melancholy. I chose dual light sources that cast two unique shadows, creating a gentle flowing motion.

Emergent Regeneration | Michael Thomas
This drawing depicts the transformation of a person from a hardened, stone-like existence to one fully alive. As she emerges, she is drawn to the presence of the One who breathes life into dust. Out of brokenness, comes regeneration, healing and wholeness.

Evening River | Paula Mae
Waterways are visually captivating (for their depths, reflections, myriad of colors, and interactions with surrounding nature) and often frustratingly elusive, especially if moving. In this sizable pastel I tried to capture the idea of a stream meandering through the Illinois prairie at sunset in early autumn.

Mister Moon 3 | Tina Johnson
Vintage fabric becomes a night sky. A shibori-dyed moon rises from the cloth while loose strands of silk drift across its surface, casting shadows like clouds moving through the night. Vintage beads scatter across the darkness like distant stars.
I am drawn to the mystery of the moon—something we see again and again, yet never quite see the same way twice. Through reclaimed and vintage materials, I explore changing landscapes of light, shadow, texture, and imagination.
Mister Moon is part of my Moonscapes series, where the moonscape is always changing

Monolith | Shauri Gonzalez
I have always been drawn to portraiture; my favorite muse is my own feelings and
anatomy. I’m interested in how metaphor can hold attention and how a viewer
lingers, searching for meaning within each element. This is my first self-portrait
without a physical body, relying instead on symbolism and atmosphere.
In this piece, a field of dying sunflowers sits beneath a dry thunderstorm, evoking
tension, discomfort, and pressure. The limited color palette of burnt sienna,
black, and white reflects a draining of life and energy. The absence of color is
intentional; it heightens the sense of depletion and emotional weight.
Sunflowers are often associated with resilience, endurance, and the ability to
thrive in difficult conditions. Here, that expectation is challenged. The field has
withered.
In the distance, a break in the sky allows light to emerge, and one sunflower still
stretches toward it. Plants reach for light instinctively, but when deprived for too
long, they cannot return to their original state. There is a cost to survival.
As a disabled artist, this reflects my experience making art in a demanding
capitalist society, always making art at a pace that I can never keep up with. The
act of reaching becomes both necessary and damaging.
The monolith represents that force: something vast, distant, and unyielding,
whether it be expectation, productivity, or the idea of success itself.
I am the sunflower. I am fading, but still reaching.

Monterey Dreams | Brian Sullan
This work is part of my “Driven” series of digital artworks and is an example of what I call a “mashup” - the result of combining several photos together using layer blending features in photo editing software. Mashups allow me to explore boundaries between painting and photography, realism and abstraction, and establish a visual style more uniquely my own.
As an artist who sees beauty in decay, junk cars become hidden treasure with their corroded metal and peeling paint. Aesthetically, like all my mashup art, the subject matter provides a real-world counterpart to my existing interest in painterly abstraction. With this series I’ve also come to admire the distinctive styling and craftsmanship of vintage cars and trucks.
From a conceptual standpoint, it’s not only the stories behind the cars themselves but the connection between these broken-down machines and my own aging body. Now, I find myself driven not just to create the art, but by a fascination with entropy—the slow unraveling of order that touches everything, from engines to people.
The Monterey was one of Mercury’s flagship car models, the name carrying the coastal fog and natural mystery of the California coastline. Here this 1957 model becomes indistinguishable from its natural surroundings as entropy takes its toll. The title leans into the dream state: a car surrendering and fading into a kind of unconsciousness, machine and world merging in one slow, quiet dissolution.

Self-Care Day | Ms. Nika Lucks
We all need a Self-Care Day. But what does that mean? Self-Care Day can be anything that helps you with your mental state. Spa-day, spending time with family, time just for you. On this day, me and the girls attended a National Tequila day celebration at a roof-top Bar. We toasted to us being friends, I took a photo of the moment. I never thought this photo would become a great piece of ART. This Photo is the exact piece that was featured in the Black Creative exhibit. Hanging in the Museum of science industry in Chicago, IL, for five months at the beginning of this year. This piece is very special. It shows the celebration of sisterhood and free will.

Sonata | E. K. Anna Hennequet
Judie Spencer and EKAH partnered up and created three pieces for the inaugural CLCU Collab Show exhibit at the Orpheum in 2025. Judie created three sets of loom-woven beadwork, some of them inspired by EKAH’s previous work. EKAH created the characters and the environment in watercolor and ink inspired by Judie's beadwork. Judie then sewed the pieces directly onto the finished artwork. The final piece is mounted on a cradled wood panel.
Since the Collab Show, Judie and EKAH have continued to collaborate on additional pieces.

Sunken Gardens Starry Night | My Nguyen
Inspired by the expressive sky of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night and the formal, geometric elegance of Sunken Garden at Allerton Park, this piece connects human structure with cosmic expanse. Captured through a fisheye lens from approximately 270 individual exposures, the resulting star trails wrap the landscape in a celestial canopy.
This work is rooted in personal introspection. As a child, I spent summer nights on my apartment's rooftop, gazing upon those twinkling stars and wondering who I would become. As an adult, that quiet interrogation continues. While the formal gardens represent the daily practices, roles, and structures through which we seek meaning on Earth, the swirling sky reminds us of our extraordinarily fortunate, fleeting existence in a vast and beautiful universe.

Tea Party | Isabella Riddell
I like to paint whimsical subjects. This painting shows different species of frogs in porcelain teacups. When I start a piece, I paint the canvas a solid color, then sketch out what I’m painting with pencil. And I use a dabbing technique to give a slightly messy look to the frogs and teacups.

Untitled | Brian Sullan
My abstract paintings are a renewal and remix of themes explored during my graduate studies in art back in the early 1980s. Fluid geometric structures exist in tension with the painterly space they inhabit, providing the means to explore the raw expressiveness of color, shape and texture.
A quote by artist Agnes Martin provides a guiding philosophy: "Painting is not making paintings, it is a development of awareness.” Painting thus becomes less about making something and more about becoming someone who can perceive more deeply. The work gets better not because your hand gets better, but because your awareness expands.
In my work, this concept is embodied through surfaces built up through many passes, each slightly shifting color and texture. Edges aren’t rigid but felt out. Each stroke evokes a sense of searching, with the overall process becoming an act of discovery.
