As I contemplated how I would go about interpreting this year’s 4 Squared exhibit theme, “Celebrating Global Diversity”, I decided to focus on the celebration part. Each country chooses a national flower to represent its people and the natural beauty of that country. As we continually hear about the wars and threats that fill our news media, a thought occurred to me, what if we held out something of beauty and embraced with a peaceful gesture the people of these global communities? I believe it would be a pleasant pause for us all to be able to stop and share the roses.

These works explore the diversity of nature and the natural beauty of the world in which I live. I present flowers that are native to South Africa, where my father was born, and flowers that are native to the United States, where my mother was born. The American flowers, specifically, represent the beach community where I was raised. I also present a Lotus, which represents the spiritual diversity in our world which I am grateful for.

There is a tendency, I believe, to think of the term "global diversity" in grand, large-scale scenes. I would posit, however, that there is something to be said for a "global micro-diversity" which considers the small intricacies that make up the world around us. These details are still necessary, still important, still a global connectedness - but on a smaller, more intimate scale.

These images are extreme close-ups (macros) of the wall of desert slot canyon. Seen from a distance, the wall is certainly beautiful and awe-inspiring. However, when you get up close to it, it's striking to me to think that thousands of years of water, wind, and sand created these finely-nuanced patterns of line, light, and color. It reminds me of how diversity - especially global diversity - is both very big and yet very small.

Let's celebrate global diversity through the power of song. Think about "Amazing Grace" and how it expressed the change and acceptance in the civil Rights Movement, or how "Beauty and the Beast" challenged us to love each other despite our differences.

I started these images from scans of old encyclopedias. I then used digital photo manipulation and collage to arrange and edit the images, finally using digital illustration to enhance it overall. I then transferred them onto 4 by 4 pieces of linen paper and used adhesive to apply them permanently to the tiles. I created the four pieces keeping the basic, simple symbol of the globe in mind. Diversity is symbolized by the differences depicted on the Four globes.

The inspiration for these comes from the Mola textile art of the Kuna people of the Republic of Panama. I was born in Panama and grew up in New York, but I've spent my life surrounded by these handmade images on shirts, pillowcases, sandals, and hats. I even have an original piece hanging on my home office wall, and my mom has a few above her mini bar. For this project, I selected four animals who were or still are considered sacred, messengers (good and bad), protectors, or omens to different peoples around the world.

I am an artist, but I am also an author who writes fiction of several different genres. Diversity in fiction is not just about the types of characters and cultures in stories, but also the types of stories themselves. Readers find things to connect with in all genres, regardless of the setting, and even within stories that are completely unrealistic. For me, being in the genre writing community has connected me with writers and readers of diverse races, cultures, and ideologies, and I love reading a diverse selection of novels that reflect those elements.

I chose to paint images representing four of the many fiction genres out there: science fiction, horror, mystery, and romance. I painted them in black and white to represent the printed word. Each image has a splash of red, representing the editing process (and maybe even the blood, sweat, and tears authors put into their writing).

They say the eyes are the mirror to the soul. I created these four watercolors with primary colors and a few neutrals to create different skin complexions of different cultures of the world. We are a very beautiful and diverse lot of human beings and can be as different as we wish, and one aspect we all share is that we have a soul and deserve respect and love.

Often, our bodies are scrutinized for the way they look, whether they are deemed to be too skinny, too fat, oddly shaped, or any combination of the above. This can be an extremely isolating experience, despite it happening to the majority of people across the globe. With different cultures comes varying beauty standards, all of which are simultaneously rigid and ever-changing. These pieces aim to display features that we all have to some degree, despite the culture we come from, and to normalize them.

The beauty of flowers and the love of painting is what inspires me. Having grown up in my family’s flower shop, I spent many hours surrounded by endless varieties of gorgeous flowers. The uniqueness of each variety has always intrigued me. These pieces are like a walk down memory lane reminding me of the wonderful times I spent working in the shop with my family.

Spend one afternoon at one Florida beach and you’ll be among the diversity of human beings. These four people were all at the same time on a public beach on Anna Maria Island. Just a few of the people there – people of all ages, all colors – everyone enjoying the experience of being in Florida’s precious environment. And you, the Viewer, are part of it too. A shared experience – we all have more than that in common.

As a self-taught artist, I use my own techniques and imagination to express themes of youth, innocence, and nature. My home is in the Alleghany Mountains in Pennsylvania, under the darkest skies on the East Coast, and these wooded mountains often make their way into my artwork. I often portray the woodland creatures in dresses to add an element of surrealism or child-like nostalgia. My canvases are layered with paint, then paper and more paint.

All cultures have patterns, colors or symbols that represent them and the story of their ancestors. I believe knowing and sharing patterns and symbols of other cultures and trying to understand what their meaning will help us to love and understand each other.

My cups celebrate global diversity through both their decoration and materials. Of course the cups are made in Florida, but they are made from Grolleg porcelain, the main ingredient of which is mined in England. Some of the floral decoration is based on Iznik pottery from Turkey. And the inclusion of the “$” represents how commerce can create exchange across cultures, but can also be a hegemonic system of oppression concentrating wealth and power in a culture that seeks to dominate and homogenize those identified as “other”.

Butterflies are among the most diverse and beautiful animals on the planet, with about 19,000 species living in almost every habitat and climate. Butterflies originated about 101.4 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. These butterflies remind me of the many people, cultures, and colorful dresses in communities around the world. Each beautiful in their individual color, characteristic, ritual, and existence.

There is enormous diversity in our universe and beyond. Each one of us is a microcosm of that multiverse. We are a spectrum. Inside and outside project upon the other. Our secret opposite twin could be watching or directing, can we even know? Secret Multiverse uses four faces created in different hues, I have created their opposites in bas-relief and beading in complementary colors to indicate how much can be contained in so small a package as a single person.

Can you think of something that everyone on Earth has in common? Growing up is one of the few experiences we all share. I want to celebrate our diversity by including coming-of-age stories in my work, because we're all children of the universe trying to find our way in the world. I drew inspiration from Japanese anime and manga, which many people across the world relate to, and especially the illustrations of Audrey Kawasaki. I love how she lets the wood shine in her work and I wanted to do the same. I used wood burning for the line work and added layers of neon acrylic paints to create an otherworldly quality.

The fabric of humanity at times seems held tenuously by a single thread of hope. In these pieces, I wanted to celebrate diversity by recognizing the uniqueness of facial features, style, and cultural dress. I ask us to look inward as well as outward for opportunities to recognize, support, and accept each other. We can continue the circle of life under the same sun while recognising and celebrating our differences.

To me, diversity means variety. For my foursquare blocks this year I have chosen to represent the diversity of things to see and experience in the state of Florida. The Florida landscape, sometimes serene and sometimes comical, is a favorite subject of mine.

During my time studying visual arts in college, I developed a love and appreciation for figure drawing. I wanted to display a wide range of women's body types to celebrate the diversity and variety of the human form. I also wanted to celebrate the creativity of other artists and different art media, so I challenged myself to use other media outside of my typical comfort zone. Each body depicted represents a different medium of art.

We live in a beautiful and diverse world. Diversity means: “the practice of quality involving people from a range of social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders and sexual orientation.” Origin of word diversity: Middle English; from Old French “diversite”. From Latin: Diversitas or diversus.... We as artists are celebrating Global Diversity!

The first thing I thought about when reading the theme, “Global Diversity” was all the different countries in the world. I decided to paint the children who are the future of the world. What kind of reception will the world afford these innocents? My wish for all of us is a resurgence of kindness. “Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.” - Erich Fromm

Global diversity encompasses human differences such as race, gender, and religion. In recent years these have become political "hot buttons" due in part to social media and other kinds of media. This reduces the harmony in your life, we need a break from all of this negative chatter! A way to accomplish an harmonious spirit is to connect with nature. Gardens can be a spiritual connection and give us peace in these trying times. So let these garden paintings take your spirit on a journey of tranquility.

Each of my four artworks serves as a vibrant ode to the goddesses of love from diverse cultures around the world. These works are a blend of digital mixed media, including photography, digital art, and AI-generated images, adorned with golden leaf accents and artist-made metallic inks. These goddesses, from Oshun in the Yoruba tradition to Benzaiten in Japan, from Ixchel of the Mayan culture to Freya in Norse mythology, represent love in its multifaceted splendor across the globe. By honoring these goddesses of love, I hope to underscore the importance of understanding and embracing the diverse beauty of our shared humanity and our world.

My contribution to Four Squared this year is a selection of birds in various habitats. I used paper-based air-dry clay and craft acrylic paint. As an untrained folk artist I prefer to use low-cost craft supplies, repurposed found objects, and donated materials in my work to demonstrate the accessibility of artistic expression to all. As an instructor I seek out students who are unsure of their potential as artists,to show them that barriers to creativity are actually very low and easy to step over.

Through the diversity of beautiful sunsets and flowers, these small paintings demonstrate how much beauty each and every day can bring. Try to consider what is in front of you and what is at a distance at the same time. These were created based of photos taken at my ranch. All painted with acrylic paint using OneStroke techniques.

This series is entitled “Global Goals”. Everyone has goals, however we have different goals and different ways in which we achieve them. We should celebrate this global connection of variations because without diversity our world would be quite boring. Each title of the pieces in the series references a common phrase, or idiom, that could be applied to dreams and goals when used in a positive way.

When an axolotl looks at another axolotl, it sees an axolotl. When we look at each other, we see each other. Just like my axolotls, we are different in many ways but more interconnected than a first glance may suggest. Our individual beauty is our finest form. It was always meant to be expressed and celebrated together. When we do so, we create harmony. This is our finest moment.

Global Diversity, to me, is the combination of all things. People, cultures, traditions, geographical locations, landscapes, foods, religions, lifestyles and more. All of these things, and more, are what create our world. Respect of and for all variations. Eyes are the window to the soul so I chose to express my soul and love for the world and all it encompasses through these eyes.

When asked to celebrate diversity, I can only respond by addressing my frustration at the cruelty inherent in the racist and homophobic laws that white Christian nationalists have instituted in Florida. Making the “Scorched Earth” series was a cathartic attempt to visualize what our bigoted, xenophobic elected officials have done to diversity in this state.

When I heard the theme of the 4 Squared Makers exhibit this year, I had an immediate flashback to a song we used to sing in church as a little girl. “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” While the world is full of diverse peoples, languages, and cultures, I find we are all our best when we come together as one and focus more on our sameness. So, in my piece, I brought all of my 4 squares in line with each other and have them bound together to create one piece that celebrates the inclusion of everyone. Red and yellow, black and white.

I'd like to present the whole diversty of birds, or "feathered friends," whose company I have enjoyed here in Florida, and also in my birthplace of Texas. Little chickadees are playful and easy to get up close and personal. Painted Buntings are so very colorful, you can’t help but love them. Cardinals are majestic but timid. The lesser goldfinch is common to Texas and the Southwest. Thistle is their food of choice.

I believe in the power of wonder. Art presents the richness of other ways of life and builds bridges of understanding between them. In this work, I ask the viewer to appreciate alternative worlds and fantastical creatures, finding levity in their strangeness and quirks. Empathy and acceptance are universal themes, and part of how we connect on a human level. I hope my work will make your world a tiny bit more beautiful and peaceful, and hopefully make you smile.

The canvases celebrate diversity among individuals’ gender expressions while also foregrounding how one’s understanding of said expression encourages a deeper love of self and understanding toward others. The background of each canvas was inspired by the colors of lesser-known pride flags, often categorized under the transgender umbrella. The foreground was inspired by Robert Indiana’s iconic ‘LOVE’ sculpture series. The contrast between background and foreground represents how love, in its various forms, serves as a universal foundation for self-actualization.

With these 4 blocks, I decided to take the viewer on a trip around the world through postage stamps to commemorate this year’s 4 Squared Makers theme, “Celebrating Global Diversity.” Through postage stamps one can experience the beautiful folds of a country’s culture and history through the subjects being promoted and observed on a single stamp. These stamps I chose to depict were derived from my father’s childhood collection, he was an avid stamp collector, also known as a “philatelist.”

Recently my thoughts have been on the shared faith and cultural traditions that we have in my Catholic Faith. My thoughts always return to the seven sacraments, particularly the four of Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage. Although our religion is a global faith that crosses many different cultures, we all share these traditions of the sacraments. Every generation has experienced them. They bring us together and unite us.
