We at Lake Affect Magazine know how difficult it is for artists to begin and grow their professional creative career. In fact, one of the most requested things on our latest survey was about exactly that.

To that end, we reached out to a place called PathStone. PathStone is a nonprofit organization that provides not only financial assistance in the form of loans, but also education and training to help artists pursue their dreams of a professional creative career. Go to the URL below and see what PathStone can do to help you pursue yours.

Hello again, everyone. Just wanted to thank everyone again who participated in our surprise pop-up survey. I also wanted to announce the next step in the process.

Like we promised before, this is just the start of where we're headed. What we want to do now is starting with those people that initially responded. We want each of you to send us an email at [email protected] with the subject line "Impact the Arts Survey". In that email, we want you to describe just a quick few lines about what's most important to you and include your questions. Once we get those, we will turn around and get back to each of you personally.

After those initial responders are done, it's our goal to have another survey and hopefully get more feedback from even more of you. ... Stick with us and together we can build a truly helping community for our future.

Vol. 61 Artist Feature: Ana Bellanti

Ana Bellanti (, ) is a photographer and college student based in Buffalo, New York. For this artist, the lens has become an indispensable tool, enabling the seamless combination of capturing and creating artwork. As a college student, her passion for various forms of media is palpable, driving her to continually refine her skills and carve a niche as an artist. Eager and enthusiastic about sharing her evolving creations, Ana eagerly seeks new opportunities to expand her artistic horizons.

"It was an August evening at the Point Abino Lighthouse. I was holding my father's old Blackberry cell phone far too close to my face in an attempt to capture the scene - my first photograph. I was convinced it was the best thing I had ever done, but though I lacked skill, I had uncovered a fondness for creativity that stays with me to this day.
Something about the lens has always simplified the artistic process for me. Even when sketching, I have found that observing the paper through a camera lens allows the angles and composition to be much more mentally apparent, almost as if a blueprint were projected onto my sketchbook to trace over. I seem to have discovered my tool, one that lets me both capture and create artwork to the best of my ability."

You can find Ana's piece "Enchantment" in Lake Affect Magazine Volume. 61 on page 35.

Vol. 61 Artist Feature: Cai Quirk

Cai Quirk () is a trans and genderq***r artist who focuses on the intersection of gender diversity throughout history, its erasure, and contemporary reclamation and restoryation. Their self-portrait series 'Transcendence' engages with connections between gender, mythology, and nature-based spirituality.

Transcendence explores many paths beyond supposed binaries: male and female, night and day, land and sea, earth and sky, life and death, self and other, self and earth. In the spirit of myths, this series transcends boundaries and identities to reach a deeply human experience of connection. The self-portrait photographs and visual stories open doors to new possibilities through stories of creation, rebirth, and journey.

"In a society that tries to erase the presence of q***r, transgender, and non-binary folks, we must share our stories, whether these are the everyday realities of our lives or mythic tales of realities deeper than ordinary truths. Binary ways of seeing the world will not simply disappear — we must actively replace them with ways of seeing and honoring fluidity as natural and necessary. Through the powerful act of q***r restoryation, Transcendence invites people on a journey of empowerment, inspiration, and healing." - Cai Quirk

“As an outdoorsman, the idea of exploration is ingrained in my bones. I love being able to take my instincts as a hiker and fisherman and use them to discover the next inspiring subject, which often includes a good hike. The discovery continues in paying attention to the way light and atmosphere affect a scene. The more I paint outside, the more aware, and inspired I am by its evolving nature. I feel I’ve succeeded if I can quickly capture it and deliver my perception of being there in the moment”.

Vol. 61 Artist Feature: Peggy Kehoe

Peggy Kehoe () a visionary artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, delving into a world of vibrant colors, lines, and shapes that invite viewers on a journey through time and memory.

“Expressionistic colors, lines and shapes surround the recognizable subjects in my paintings; underlapping and overlapping them, partially obscuring them, as if they are spirits or fading memories of times past. My intuitive brush marks represent the restless and transcendent life forces that I imagine for the subjects I portray. I’m always searching for content that I envision as having spiritual undercurrents or allegorical narratives. I think of my paintings as palimpsests. The translucent layers suggesting archetypal characters from vaguely remembered stories, fading in and out of mysterious partially rendered landscapes. ”

Vol. 61 Artist Feature: Anshul Roy

Anshul Roy () is a visual artist from Ahmedabad, India, pursuing his MFA in Art Photography from Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY. His artistic practice is inspired by Postcolonial discourses, exploring issues like identity, memory and cultural representation, with a specific interest in probing how photography was employed for ‘othering’ during the British Raj in India and how these ethnographic photos exist in our contemporary institutional archives.

His project 'Rage Against the Archive' questions the exploitation of colonial-era photos now sold as 'Fine Art Prints' by the New York Public Library. He subverts this by altering the website code, replacing traumatic photos with subversive text to challenge colonial ideologies and the commodification of people of color. This critical approach aims to restore dignity to his ancestors and expose how digital archives can perpetuate colonial exploitation.

Anshul also has a hobby of street photography.
His images capture candid moments in everyday life, skillfully framed and composed to
convey a sense of authenticity and the essence of urban or street scenes.
