Current Artists
Satellite Alameda
Regina Guererro
Being of Mexican-American descent, Regina Guerrero is inspired by the urban environments of both Mexico and the United States. Her current work involves a process of layering and sanding to create abstract urban landscapes. Ms. Guerrero’s work is a personal reflection on the collective subconscious. Her use of vibrant color is bold and daring while her brush stroke reveals a nakedness that is without shame or pride.

Sara Truscott
My photography is most influenced by where I am and the people around me. I aim to create carefree photographs that have a nostalgic feel. My hope is that when people view my photos they feel how I felt when I was taking the picture. I am most inspired by vintage clothing, cameras, and Volkswagen’s. My biggest inspirations are Laura Sciacovelli, Leigh Ellexson, Herb Ritts, Olivia Bee, and Cari Ann Wayman.
Satellite Uptown
Erica Entorp
My work is inspired by the subconscious and the separation of the dream-state and waking life. I have always had very vivid complicated dreams and I have become fascinated by the ability of my mind to remember the real moments of my life as well as it could the dreams that I have had. If ever there were a time in which I had to divide what might have been real in childhood from what was simply a very intense dream I probably would not be able to differentiate.

Lenny Krosinsky
My passion has always been for my art, but being a husband and father, making a living took up most of my time. I received degrees in fine arts at Nassau Community College and Adelphi University, and I am continuing my art education at UNM. Now that I am retired I can devote my time to my art and community service.

Margarita Martinez
If all species of flowering plants on earth were lined up, every fourth one would be an orchid, a legume, or a sunflower. My name, meaning ‘daisy’ in Spanish, ties me to the sunflower family. Maybe that’s why wildflowers hold such an appeal.
As an English teacher, I try to guide students beyond the surface of literature to the deeper layer of meaning inherent in each text. I approach my hobby of photography the same way, seeking out the unique heart of each flower by exploring the various elements that make up the plant (stalk, sepals, petals, stamen, anthers, stigma) along with texture, color contrast, juxtaposition with natural environments and symbiotic relationships with insects.
I’m self-taught and for 15 years used an ancient Nikon CoolPix that saw me up and down mountains, over snow fields and across oceans, moors and deserts, before it finally gave up the ghost. My new camera has more bells and whistles, but the dinosaur was the one that taught me patience and the need to get up close, to see through the eyes of ants and bees as they traverse glistening foliage on their way to the pollen buffet. Through my photographs, you are invited to join them.
