Artist Showcase, Summer 2019

Enjoy the variety of talent and styles of twenty-five artists invited to share their work in this Artist Showcase. Click on each artist’s name to learn more about them.

 

 

Fred Odle

As a creative I am more concerned with the creating than the category or style; hence, my multi-disciplinary approach. I love being in that zone—no fatigue, no time lines, no hunger—just making magic.

 

 

Geri deGruy

My work is experimental, intuitive color-play. My inner stories and the evolving painting itself propel the layers of the work. The interplay and drama of color informs my whole process of creating.

 

 

Carmen Beecher

I confess to being a tree hugger, fascinated with differences in light in various parts of the world. How fortunate I am to be able to put my love of nature onto canvas!

 

 

Nichole Laizure

Texture and light are an integral part of my art.  I want to establish a certain mood that speaks to the viewer and lets them fill in the blanks with their own interpretation.

 

 

Valerie Ghoussaini

My work is a narrative written in paint of my many travels and life experiences. I am inspired by colors, patterns and themes, which help develop the story I am trying to tell through my images.

 

 

Paul Roemer

I am a self-taught contemporary artist who uses bright color and light to evoke emotions from compositions that range from whimsical to edgy.

 

 

Corrina Leidy

I paint because I need to. It’s a form of meditation or therapy for me. Maybe it’s about control. My paintings, like life at times start out as uncontrollable. In time it all works out.

 

 

Jacqueline Clark

This painting was created using my non-dominant hand. I drew each object separately on paper, cut them out, arranged them in a composition which I traced on watercolor paper. Then I commenced to paint.

 

 

Diana Malivani 

For me, music represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In my view, one of the most difficult goals of artists depicting music on canvas is to convey its rhythm, brilliance, and uniqueness in abstract compositions.

 

 

Laura Hunt

My archetypal figures hold humanity in the undefined faces, while color and body language convey the emotion of the moment. Acrylics, collage and crayon allow the playful experimentation I hold dear.

 

 

Pamela Mauseth

As a mosaic artist, I strive to create singular remarkable fine art, provoking emotion and contemplation. Evocative and expressive, mosaic art offers the opportunity to inspire creativity and originality in others.

 

 

Beth Goldberg

For me, painting is like breathing. I enjoy using color and texture in the creative process as I experiment with mixed media, acrylic and watercolor. You are invited to view and experience the image.

 

 

Laurie Griffin

I love communicating a feeling with art. I spent my career working with computers for NASA, so if I can give the viewer a moment of joy or connection—then that’s a successful painting.

 

 

Faith Taylor

My latest abstract floral oil paintings are fresh, vibrant and fun. They are a touch of Redon with the playfulness of Twombly—contemporary and classic—timeless. Commissions are welcomed.

 

 

Liz Muir

I paint large impressionist oils of my surrounds where I walk to see the light, colours and the sky. I interpret these with marks, strokes and contrasting elements, using light and shadow to show nature’s beauty.

 

 

Tim Hauf

I have a passion for both travel and photography. My desire is to experience the essence of a destination, capturing its natural beauty with my camera and sharing with others what I see and feel.

 

 

Charlotte R. Durie

In “Many Small Places” I was inspired by this uplifting message—”Many small people do many small things that can change the world.” This hope provoked my visual reaction to an increasingly isolationist world.

 

 

Johanne Brouillette

I am a French Canadian abstract artist whose current body of work focuses on intuitive, monochromatic and heavily textured artwork. Using ashes, paper collage, drawing materials and acrylics, I create and express my unique voice.

 

 

Lynne Zentner

Inspiration for my landscapes and florals comes mostly from nature—I visit each site to make sketches and take photos. My desire is to impart some of the beautiful feelings I experience in response to nature.

 

 

Robert Dodge

My photography traverses the definitions of fine art and documentary—I seek to tell important stories through my art such as the story of Vietnam and its people since the war ended four decades ago.

 

 

Jeanne Beck

In the semi-conscious state between dreaming and waking, I often tap into deep insights and see places that seem real but don’t actually make sense once I am fully awake—they are dreamscapes.

 

 

Amy Hughes

I manipulate and render the flesh in oil paint, exploring the ways in which women’s bodies have been depicted in art history and contemporary visual culture.

 

 

Michael Morrison

My fascination with flowers is revealed in my photographs. I capture an image in visible light, then create devolving impressionistic images. My objective is to inspire others and reveal nature in its splendor and glory.

 

 

Arleen Joseph

I am interested in creating abstracted paintings that evoke a sense of place and atmosphere within the impressions of landscapes.

 

 

Jamie Lightfoot

My goal is to use color and light to move the viewer to the edge of their comfort zone. In this way, I hope my art is an inspiration to boldly accept life’s choices.
