AIKO CASCIO
Sunset Park, Brooklyn
Central Park South
I arrived in the United States from Japan in 1979 and have lived in New York for 24 years. I love to paint city views and landmarks in both realistic and abstract styles, especially with watercolor, which allows for splashing effects as well as transparency. My goal as an artist is to share the things I experience and enjoy, such as our great urban parks. Here are a slice of Central Park and the spectacular Manhattan views I found on a leafy hilltop in Sunset Park.

White Ibises
I am a naturalist who has been watching birds for more than three decades. This watercolor was inspired by a trip to Florida, where I spent a good deal of time birding. A graduate of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, I continued my study of photography at the School of Visual Arts and studied painting at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of Design. My work is influenced by my urban habitat, my love of natural light, and the dynamics of change.

Blue (Steps to Great Hill, Central Park)
Blue (Steps to Great Hill, Central Park)
These paintings were conceived as part of a triptych of monochromatic watercolors, each utilizing a primary color. I wanted to better observe colors in the urban environment, beyond the gray and brown hues associated with the city. I have also been thinking about Josef Albers and how he taught color theory: that codified primary colors are an idealized version of something more dynamic; that colors are subjective, sensual, alive; and that learning to work with color is ultimately about learning to see.
I mostly paint en plein air. I love being in the field: trained in landscape architecture, I have taught field-based landscape drawing classes and designed gardens and parks. The parks and streetscapes of New York—the colors and aliveness of it all—inspire both my design work and my paintings.

Broadway and 72nd Street
I have lived on the Upper West Side since arriving from the UK in 1988. I have been drawing and painting for pleasure throughout my working life, and have tapped into the great art schools here to improve my work, including the Art Students League and the New York Studio School. I love drawing around this spectacular, high-energy city and sometimes work these drawings into paintings. The intersection of Broadway and 72nd Street has always stood out for me as a captivating vista for its dramatic buildings and its hustle and bustle.

Ancestors 1 (2023)
Ancestors 1 (2023)
For the last 30 years, most of my painting has related in some way to reflections: light on water or glass or other shiny surfaces. This one is part of a series that is unique in my output, in that the works are interior reflections on memory and identity. I painted them in the months after I received some shocking information from a long-forgotten DNA matching test taken years before. Rather than being destabilizing, this new information illuminated my innate and natural balance.
Following a successful 35-year career as a classical music administrator, I became a full-time painter in 2012 and maintain a studio on the Upper West Side. As a self-taught artist, I have always approached painting intuitively and joyfully and continue to consider it “play” rather than “work.”

Long Day
Born in Seoul, trained in France and Korea, and based in New York, I work in multiple media, from printmaking to illustration to installation art. I am interested in exploring time and memory with a printmaking series about childhood and self-rediscovery. My pieces begin with digital printmaking, then incorporate drawing and collage through photography, linocut, stencil, raster graphics editing, pencil, ink, marker, watercolor, paper, and threads. The children in my prints are colorfully dressed, but their faces have no color; they could be anyone, everyone, reminding viewers of their own childhood. Children become a mirror.

Prairie #2
I'm interested in color, light, and space. I worked as a graphic designer, specifically in book design, and always produced art: drawing, printmaking, and, more recently, painting with oils. Painting and drawing force me to pay attention to the world around me and to notice what I might not notice otherwise.

These paintings are a part of a series that captures glimpses of Long Island City, Queens, on the brink of gentrification. They illuminate the beauty that goes unnoticed in this ever-changing city, a city we will never see quite the same again.
I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and immigrated to the United States in 1979. I was part of the nonconformist art movement called the "Leningrad Underground." When I moved to America, I painted scenery for Broadway shows and the ballet. For three years I taught drawing, scenic painting, and elements of design at Rutgers University. For the last 33 years I have worked as the lead scenic artist at the Metropolitan Opera, painting backdrops for the stage.

The Old Sink
The Old Sink
I specialize in drawings in charcoal, graphite, and ink, and printmaking, especially lithography. I depict ordinary objects such as sinks and plumbing so precisely that, for example, a plumber will recognize the accurate rendering of the pipes' connections. Yet precision doesn’t preclude emotional expression. I use black and white tones both to evoke the past and to invite viewers to imagine colors and emotions in my drawings. My drawings have a human dimension, too: sinks, pipes, and water towers are metaphors for our bodily plumbing and psyches. Household plumbing, much like our internal plumbing and our feelings, often goes unnoticed until it is in need of repair.

Cat at Lucky's
Cat at Lucky's
I depict everyday moments that remind me of the joy and beauty in the world. These revelations typically involve my loved ones, but I am inspired by the moment's abstract qualities, such as light, shape, and color. I work by breaking an image into shapes of color and fitting these pieces together, a slow, precise process that I hope will encourage viewers to view their own everyday lives with attention and appreciation.
"Cat at Lucky’s" depicts my boyfriend; the strong California light and the tenderness of his gesture caught my attention. My shadow at the bottom of the painting registers my presence and intimate relationship to the scene. This quotidian moment reveals the beauty in life. I am from the San Francisco Bay Area and living in New York while majoring in visual arts at Columbia University.

The Centaur in the Window
My artwork reflects love and fascination for the cityscape; this is a view from my window. A New York native, I grew up in a family of artists. I am grateful to my mother, the painter, for her wonderful sense of color and light; and to my father, the architect and sculptor, for an appreciation of three-dimensional form and the built environment. I started painting seriously in 2016 after a career in technology. I studied drawing and painting at the New York Academy of Art, the Art Students League, the 92nd Street Y, and the New York School of the Arts.
