Artists Describing Their Art:

Debbi Chan - I am going to do an updated artist's statement. But until I submit it you have a short temporary one. As an artist I an fullfilled and contend. But at the same time I seek more , absorb more, and enjoy more. Art fills and fullfills me..I am always being an artist. My eyes see art always. This is not a hobby that I partake of when time suits. Art feeds me. Art consoles me. And being prolific it also takes my time. And for this I am thankful that i listened to my inner self. I am thankful for a following that grows by the minute. I enjoy you enjoying my portfolio. I also have come to realize that the coined phrase "starving artist" is a reality for some of us. But if you take another quote, my own , you will see that starving and rich pertain to material $. because of you the viewers , and because art is my life and my passion I can truly say that I AM RICH.. RICH WITH NO MONEY... and I can also say with truth that I am happy. I chose the path that allowed this rich life. There will continue ...

Darby Kelly - "The world around us is so elegant and yet so easily overshadowed by the ugliness of reality. Trying to understand the tragedies of life but not letting them weight and wear me down, I am always searching for the humor. As an artist my goal is to create livable art in the attempt to brighten spaces and convey emotion while commenting on and exposing the comedies of life."...

Darby Kelly - Susan Rudolf - The journey begun in Europe and crossed the Atlantic to flourish on one of the most beautiful islands of the Caribbean. On Curacao just as in Hungary and Austria the beauty of the country, nature and population enchanted me and it shows in my works all the passion, the harmony and the beauty which I've never been able to stop looking for.

John Tooma - This site is only a guide to my artworks, you will appreciate them alot more when they are seen in real life. As a Painter and Graphic Designer/Illustrator, art is everything to me. It's wonderful to have the ability to draw and paint what the eye can see. As an observer, I love to sketch in my pads and photograph most subjects transferring the visual information onto paper, canvas or the computer. I use both film and digital photographic equipment. I draw and paint virtually everything but my passion lies with the human body. I use most mediums such as pencil, pastel, charcoal, ink, watercolour, gouache, acrylic and oil paints. I am for ever experimenting. I also work with traditional airbrushing methods, as well as using the computer airbrushing technique. It is an absolute pleasure to share my passion with you and to speak about it through art. I enjoy sketching people whilst sitting in cafes. I am forever mesmerised with the colours of birds, the pigments of flowers and the reflection of light onto surfaces. I am influenced by many painters, from Raphael to Matisse, Dufy to Klimt and many others. So sit back, grab a coffee ...
