Fall into autumn with these beautiful, otherworldly photographs by Carolyn Monastra. 🍁🪾🍂 Here are two images from her “lovely, dark and deep” series, as well as the artist with gallery owner Susan Eley at SEFA Hudson.

In the online “Artist Focus” features, SEFA is pleased to continue presenting works by mainstay Gallery artists. Currently we are showcasing Carolyn Monastra’s alluring landscape photographs. Please contact [email protected] to inquire about Monastra’s photographs or other works by our dynamic roster of artists.

For the past two decades, Carolyn Monastra’s work has focused on creating and discovering mystery in the natural world. She uses photography, video, sound, public art and community-engagement to address environmental issues and examine humans’ relationship with our ecosystems. Through her various photographic series she has researched documenting the climate crisis and species extinction. In the series “lovely, dark and deep,” she aims to depict the woods and forests in a mythical manner, capturing their beauty and secrets. These fragmented, long twilight exposures capture mystifying and attractive versions of the woods.

FINAL DAY to see Ted Dixon at Woodstock at WAAM. The exhibition “Two Friends [Playing]” features paintings inspired by the music of Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays. If you are in Woodstock, stop by WAAM and support artist Ted Dixon and see his new work!

From WAAM : “This solo exhibition debuts a new body of work examining the enduring dialogue between painting and music through abstract compositions inspired by the celebrated jazz collaborators. Inspired by the music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, Dixon’s paintings explore the intersections of memory, emotion, and human connection. Drawing parallels between visual art and music, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how creative expression shapes our understanding of the past, present, and future.”

While it is raining in New York, SEFA continues to appreciate the flowers! Gallery artist Angela A'Court is known for her beautiful botanicals and calming interiors. Using soft pastels, A'Court creates delightful scenes in works such as "This Morning," "Jordaan" and "Finding Space II" which are featured here. The artist is from London and currently lives in New York.

A'Court states: "My evolution has been influenced by living in and experiencing different cultures, which have offered up a visual and emotional dimension to the work. As an onlooker, I have observed in each the routines and customs that provide a structure for day to day interactions and our need for connection. I am interested in re-defining soft pastel as a modern medium for reflecting contemporary life by distilling and exalting its intrinsic immediacy and tactile distinctiveness."

Enjoy the warm weather with some beautiful paintings by Rachelle Krieger. Her landscapes and flowers are primarily created with acrylic, spray paint and flashe on linen. In the series "These In-Between Days," Krieger renders dynamic abstractions of the natural world 'en plein air.' With sensuous applications of pigments, she layers bold hues and constructs rhizomatic forms—then interrupted by intuitive streaks of technicolor spray paint. 🌺🎨

Detail views here include: "Walking the Path in Wonder," "Swamp Boogie," "Radiance" and "In the Brambles"

Rachelle Krieger was born and raised in Queens, NY and currently lives and works in Port Washington, NY.

Congrats to the lovely Lisa Pressman on her presentation with Zürcher Gallery during Frieze Week, NYC, 2026. The natural colors, the varying forms and the textural density in these new works are a visual delight.

Based in West Orange, NJ, Lisa Pressman works on canvas and on paper and has regularly shown with SEFA. She is especially known for her encuastics, which use elements such as wax and letraset in their layered compositions. Pressman developes a language to create tactile artifacts while referencing stored memories.

During this year’s “Frieze Week,” SEFA owner Susan Eley visited many wonderful shows and art fairs in the city! We are happy to offer works by Pressman and other contemporary artists and invite those interested to visit susaneleyfineart.com.
