I often choose the cow as a vessel for expression. As a ubiquitous creature of the landscape in which I live, the cow continually provides me with visual prompting.
Meltem Aktas
My work evokes a spiritual origin and presence. While I am influenced by the external elements in my life, the true source of my inspiration is my soul. With the unconventional narrative and poetic relationships contained within the images, I move to create an emotionally stirring force.
Amy Lloyd
I want my art to have a connection with real life but at the same time elevate the viewer to a heightened consciousness where beauty, understanding, mystery and emotion coexist. My message is simple and lasting as I use form, color, texture and design in a grounded, organic nature.
Shar Coulson
My paintings reflect a moment, a mood, a state of mind or emotion I may be experiencing. They interweave the organic shapes of nature with those of the human figure to create works that speak softly yet linger with intensity.
Kathy Honey
When I find heart shaped rocks they reflect back to me that love is a mystery that finds us. They seem so unlikely and yet there they are! The rocks are unique and beautiful like the living hearts they symbolize. Giraffes have the largest heart of all mammals. Their gentle and aloof natures remind me of how graceful we can be when we love big with some detachment.
Gail Potocki
By employing the figure to represent humanity as a whole, I explore narratives relating to humans’ relationship with themselves as well as themes addressing our role as stewards of the planet, and our actions—and inactions— which affect it.
Brian Sindler
Visual images of calm and tranquility have always attracted me. My work is an exploration of that sensibility and how the passing of time can affect a person’s sense of memory. Using information gathered from sketches, photos, the computer and painting outdoors, the work is transformed in the studio, simplifying shapes and color harmonies to create an overall mood. My intention is to leave the viewer with less of a sensation of a specific place, but more of a general feeling of familiarity and calm.
