Diana Millerpierce - I am attracted to scenes involving strong clear light, that will cast strong shadows for subject matter. I look for a composition of strong dark and light patterns to create a dynamic tension and energy in a painting. My work is drawn from realism of nature, but the overall pattern creates a great deal of abstraction. Color is planned to enhance the tensions and drama in my overall compositions. I hope my paintings help the viewer arrive at a different perspective of the world and its beauty....
Lucy Arnold - To see more of my artwork, please visit my website at www.lucyarnold.com. I love color, and that is my primary tool of expression. Intense color is the one characteristic that all my artworks in numerous styles and media have in common. I use color in abstract pieces to show balance, transformation, and interaction of energies. These pieces are created in many layers. Something of each layer is allowed to show through to increase the sense of multiple dimensions. An internal vision or feeling may serve as my inspiration. A stray bit of nature such as a feather, leaf, or shell may also be the starting point of creativity. A simple object may ignite a powerful internal reaction as inner and outer nature meet. Whether the finished piece is a highly realistic depiction or completely abstract, I strive to imbue my art with a sense of the mystery, beauty, and sacredness I find in the world and universe. ...

Sue Mohr - I try to express relationships between seemingly incongruous objects/ideas, and encourage a highly personal interpretation by each viewer. My art work reflects diverse experiences and interests, the most obvious of these being Japanese influence. My interest in spirituality, especially of Judaic and Native American cultures, provides further inspiration. ...
Lesta Frank - I paint the figure, color drenched in layers of metaphor. My work is about showing people experiencing moments of Self awareness and inner connectivity to our true nature. The excitement and awe found in creating art is a life-long continuation of my first adventure with finger painting as a young child. I am interested in combining realistic imagery with abstract shapes, in a shallow picture plane , The painting surfaces are enriched with layers of texture and pattern, using combinations of watermedia and collage, and the use of stencils, stamps and epoxy resin. ...
Walter Spaeth - Walter Spaeth was born 1952 in Munsingen / Germany Ever since he was a very young boy it has been one of Walter Spaeth`s dream to express his ideas and inspirations. And so it doesn`t come as a surprise that photography soon attracted his attention. At the age of twenty he discovered the creative and technical possibilities of this medium in the black-and-white lab of a friend and began thinking about how it could help him realize his dream. In 1972, though, photography was far less sophisticated than it is today. It proved to be an advantage, as Walter Spaeth spent his first years concentrating on the basic techniques and principles of composition. He thoroughy learned the craft and perfected his skills. In the mid-90`s then the full extent of his creativity became apparent. Computers made their appearance in the photo scene and allowed the editing of pictures, something which Spaeth started doing with great fascination and success. Between 1990 and 2000 Spaeth won more than 30 awards, including Deja-GmbH's 10 000 Mark "Take care" award, which he received in a festive ceremony at the Photokina 2000 in Cologne for his excellent ...
Abigail Landry - "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination." Albert Einstein Several years ago I purchased an old, used computer from my church and look what happened!! I discovered that I could create some very interesting designs with the simple lines, shapes and colors of the Microsoft Draw Tool in Word. I'm presently experimenting with other programs such as Photo Suite so stay tuned. I love to create and this is my passion. Please sign my Guestbook, I'd love to hear from you. ...
