THE ARTISTS

Across The Universe gathers seven women artists, each with their own way of working with what consciousness expansion makes visible.

HANNAH ANDERSON | MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Richmond, VA
Mixed-media paintings built from collage, color, and what gets revealed when she trusts her muse and turns the canvas upside down. Crone House resident artist.
MAGGIE BELINSKI | OIL PAINTING & CERAMICS

Richmond, VA
Oil paintings and ceramics that thread mushrooms, mythic feminine forms, and the cyclical pulse of the natural world. Crone House resident artist and Crone-in-Training alumni.
MELISSA CASANOVA | OIL PAINTING & MIXED MEDIA

Richmond, VA
Abstract oil and mixed-media work that runs on the kinetic energy of color and gesture. Crone House resident artist.
MAHARI CHABWERA | PAINTING & MIXED MEDIA

Newport News, VA
Tapestry paintings hand-stitched with glass seed beads, oil, fabric, and shells. As she puts it, "time spent in rhythm creates portals."
VIVIAN CHIU | WOOD SCULPTURE

Richmond, VA
Split-turned wood sculpture AND large installations asking what gets exposed when something shifts.
BLYTHE KING | COLLAGE

Richmond, VA
Collage built from acrylic transfers, painted paper, magazine clippings, and 23K gold leaf — visual diagrams of a Zen meditation practice.
MEL TITUS | CERAMICS

Richmond, VA
Hand-built stoneware and raku-fired pieces that prize what fire and chance leave on the surface. Crone House resident artist.
