Artists Describing Their Art:
Luise Andersen - Luise'Mignon' Andersen Luise'Mignon' Andersen has only recently begun to reveal her lifes work. Soon after her debut she exploded onto the mainstream art world. Her breathtaking pieces have captured international interest. The stories Luise'Mignon' is telling through her truly deep, layered works seem to decipher the past and foretell the future, perhaps sharing her window to other dimensions and a seventh sense. Her detailed acrylic'Mignon' series speaks to the beholder. They inspire raw emotion and ignite ones imagination. The indescribable nature of the "Duree De Ma Vie" in particular has a growing portion of the art community considering it the conception of an entirely new style.

Larisa Robins - Since childhood I always loved to paint and draw, but events took me down a different path. However later life gave me the chance to join a number of local art societies with organised events where my pictures could be displayed. I currently hold the status of Exhibiting Member with two local societies and regularly exhibit close to home in both Winchester and Farnham. I feel intimate contact with my feelings and emotions around being a woman. The stages in our lives that we all go through, including the waxing and waning of happiness through the years.

ThataEURtms a wonderful vindication which motivates me to create more. I also enjoy experimenting with alternative techniques. Many of my paintings reveal additional colors and effects when viewed in ultraviolet light. I am inspired by the supernatural and unusual that hide behind the veil of reality and believe that the world is better off with a bit more silliness and magic. ...
Ralph Patrick - All my life I've been involved with some type of artistic expression. I've thrown pottery on a wheel, made my own glazes, made hand crafted furniture, drawn and painted pictures. I am basically a self-taught artist. I do still life paintings, architectural paintings, landscapes, but my favorite subject is cats. My own, my neighbors, and friends.
