Kristiina Almy

Kristiina Almy uses oil paint and cold wax medium on wood panels. Her work addresses the theme of nature and the natural world. She is drawn to the beauty of her surroundings and is inspired by it and appreciates all that it has to give. She explores the color, forms and gesture available with the addition of cold wax to her paintings. The ability to add and subtract layers and marks represents a passage of time. These paintings are more non-representational in their depiction of a recognized place. They are more about her reflections on and feelings of her observations. Almy’s draw to nature has taken on other significance to her as of late with the rising concerns for our world. She hopes viewing this current body of work results in a unique experience for each person.

Almy is an artist and graphic designer, born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and currently living and working in Sherborn, Massachusetts. She attended Skidmore College, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in studio art with honors. Upon graduating from college, she was employed as a graphic designer for a graphic design firm in Boston, Massachusetts for 12 years until starting a family. She currently has an independent design company along with her work as a fine art painter.  

Soren Meibom

Soren Meibom is drawn to the human face and its reflection of the inner beauty, drama, and mystery. His mixed media works often combine freehand drawing, painting, and writing, with collage of scientific and historic imagery, diagrams, and data tables to add layers to a story and deepen an expression. He enjoys exaggerating light, colors, and proportions to create tension between the real and the imaginary, and to warp the truth to make images that are intense and impactful.

Soren Meibom was born in Denmark where his passion for art was ignited at an early age by his artist father. His youth was dominated by his love of soccer leading to a career as a semi-professional player, and by his fascination with science leading to a master’s degree in physics and astronomy, a PhD in astrophysics, and a 14-year career at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Despite the demands of sports, science, and family, Soren stayed artistically productive and recently decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist. Soren has been in juried and invited exhibitions and was commissioned to produce artwork for Boston Medical Center and in support of the educational foundation of the Danish Crown Prince and to promote the Danish participation in the Head of the Charles Regatta. 

Kimberly Stoney
