Tom Kostes

All my images begin as a high definition photograph. Not all my images travel this far from the original, however, I will take an image in any direction I determine will express my vision.

 

 

Teresa Cline

My current body of work is a painted interpretation of Jazz trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker’s music. My process is an intuited response to the music with specific instrumental sounds evoking imagery that I can translate using color and shapes.

 

 

Sydney Croteau

My goal in drawing animals is to harness more appreciation for wildlife. By drawing animals in a photorealistic style, I imply that they deserve more than just a quick glance.

 

 

Tobe Roberts

I continuously seek out a resplendent beauty and a story in my environment, making it a memory to share and evoking tranquility. My photography focuses mostly on the richness of bold colors, nature, landscapes and equine souls. I like to build my portfolio with images that inspire and enchant.

 

 

Kait Matthews

Through emotion we connect. As an artist of aboriginal descent, I’m inspired to explore beauty and emotion. Mother Earth is our life source, and oh, what emotion and beauty she bestows upon us.

 

 

Paul Maples

In the dark, I stood near the edge of a cliff with water crashing on the rocks below. Forty minutes after sunset the light was perfect to bring out the stars and the beautiful sky.

 

 

Mélanie Therrien

A rather unusual mix of surrealist and conceptual art inspired this production. My mixed media art uses translucent fabrics and sometime painting, drawing, engraving and embroidery. My favorite subjects are directly related to humans.

 

 

Law Blank

I encourage my children to embrace the unique and wonderful in all things and themselves. As years grow, so does vanity and insecurity. A view of beauty as something other than external is the key.

 

 

Tanis Bula

As a watercolor artist, my passion is painting flowers—especially irises. Sometimes I combine several of them into one flower. Irises are incredible flowers that speak to watercolor due to their transparency and colors.

 

 

Tatyana Palchuk

Deep and complete knowledge of my profession are proven by long years during which I was learning and improving myself as a professional. My creative work is first of all characterized by many exhibitions, publications and positive feedback.

 

 

Joanne Pierce

The world is filled with incredible natural beauty, and we should appreciate it more. For many reasons, people are spending less time outdoors. They do not see what is all around us. My work delivers a sense of peace, appreciation, and well being.

 

 

Julee Latimer

I hide secrets in plain sight. My dried paintings are manipulated through cutting and fragmenting, allowing me a choice of showing topside or revealing underside. My work collages the usually visible with the usually unseen.

 

 

Kevin Dailey

With my art, I draw the viewer into a whole new world, where their imagination creates an artificial reality of what they see. In this way, each viewer has a personal connection with my work.

 

 

Peggy Stokes

My passion for alcohol inks comes from seeing the ink flow and come alive. When the ink hits the non-porous surface and bursts into flames of brilliant color, I know the art is alive.

 

 

J. Scott Bush

The photographers who influenced me the most are Michael Frye, Bas Meeuws and of course Ansel Adams. Southwest still life is my first photography love. I love creating the subject and photographing with the perfect lighting.

 

 

Dr. Miron Abramovici

I spent my professional life as a computer scientist, but I became an artist once I retired. I am creating figurative sculptures from found objects, abstract and surrealistic photography and kinetic art installations.

 

 

Daniela Bombelli

I make my images with the help of a camera—my pictures are photographic in shape, but I am not a conventional photographer. In the creation process, I use a great variety of gesture.

 

 

Terri Johnson

On one level, my art is about the joy, excitement, and wonder of color that I find in nature. On another level, my work is about connections, relationships, and the intricacies of life.

 

 

Mary Spears

Torn edges and emerging shapes from pools of color create the images in my painted paper collages. Playing with the edge of abstraction, the result is sometimes known and sometimes an impression of the moment.

 

 

Julie Carter Nadeau

I am a contemporary realist painting who specializes in painting picturesque landscapes in Maine in oil, acrylic and watercolor. My style includes the textural vibrant color so true to the beauty of the area.

 

 

Jeanie Bates

Each painting reflects a transient moment of time. I want my viewer to experience the ephemeral nuances of the world we often take for granted. Nature is the focus of my paintings and photorealism is my ultimate goal.

 

 

Mihaela Istrate

My art is rich with color, refined form and sensitivity of expression. It incorporates aspects of design used throughout art history and it expresses a true soulfulness commensurate with the caliber of life influences, exposure and experience that I claim for myself.

 

 

Jaime Lamont

She calls the serpent home, above creation into the light of her being. Gold invisible sound waves penetrate the darkness of night. A golden dragon lays sleeping deep within the seed of life. Here in divine love, a dove of light takes its flight.

 

 

Deborah Bai-Lannon

Diptychs: visual statements subtle and obvious, complementary or oppositional. Blending long exposure, color and line, the camera carries us back to Avalonia—the scientific origins of creation—and records our answers to its unfolding.

 

 

Krysia Napiorkowski

What inspires my work in stained glass most is the endless variety of colors and textures found in glass. It is intriguing to watch how the art piece responds to “light” as it is reflected and refracted, throughout the day.

 

 

Roni Murillo

My art is very personal and emotional, often transforming from its original intent during the creative process. I love experimenting with various media, styles and new themes. Art is my cathartic outlet for life’s journey.

 

 

Yosniel Zambrano

We can only give what we have, nothing else nothing more. As a consequence, we will only have eyes for those things that match what we have inside so we will only receive exactly what we understand. Like a mirror, we are only a reflection of our most honest true self.

 

 

Věra Hrubá

The most common things in our lives can become the source of our biggest awe if we are able to recognize the beauty in them. The aim of art is to encapsulate that moment—to transfer it to the audience through the visual language.

 

 

Adrian Zorzut

Sometimes, the knife won’t give you what you ask of it; sometimes, it gives you something better.

 

 

Phyllis Rapp

Most of my art is influenced by nature. I love pattern and find ways to incorporate it into my pieces. My subject matter is frequently about elements of nature, animals and the human figure.
