Artists Describing Their Art:

Katie Puenner - I am to express form through organic fluidity and vibrant colors of my paintings. My work explores both the drama and pleasures of life. I blend vivid colors and vibrancy to convey experiences that make up the fabrics of my life. The goal of my art is to express myself by creating a fantastical world from the ordinary life. ...

Ruth Zachary - My goal is to create striking images that touch the viewer emotionally. I try to capture the essence of a subject or scene, so that the viewer reacts with an immediate recognition, and immediate click of Yes. I depend upon composition, simplicity, shape and contrast, as well as my own aesthetic sense and emotional responses. I love creating art through photography. For me it is an opportunity for self-expression, a means of capturing a moment in time and creating beauty, as well as am important means of communication. My education includes a Masters in Social Work and a BA in English Literature. I have done formal study in drawing and pastel, but my photographic study has been informal and self-taught. Since 1980, I have been a frequent visitor to Monhegan Island, 12 miles off the coast of Maine, a remote lobstering island with a summer artists colony. On Monhegan, I became friends with a group of painters and photographers. I applied what I learned from them to my own work. Those I am most grateful to include Frances Kornbluth, Leo Brooks, Robin Young, Judi Wagner, Josie Vargas and Nancy Stanich. I show my art summers on Monhegan Island ...

Marsha Bowers - Marsha Bowers was born and raised in the Central Valley of California. She is a classically trained fine artist, skilled in the old Masters techniques of Flemish/Bistre and Venetian method using a grisaille underpainting and glazing with many layers. Most of her fine art paintings are rendered in oil. She sometimes applies real gold leaf into the artworks. Marsha finds inspiration in the old masters of the past. She spends many hours visiting Museums studying their work. Gothic and Renaissance are her favorite periods along with the Pre-Raphaelites artists. The artist loves the blending of the classical painting techniques with a more contemporary approach to her paintings. Her recent fine art paintings are of women, both figurative and portraiture. The inspiration for her paintings comes from her observations of life itself and through her own experiences. Each painting shares a message, story or emotion. Its what the artist herself describes as a "flowing" of the spirit, a creative process through which the artist paints a story unto the canvas, realizing that each viewer of her work may have their own interpretation of what the art is conveying. Most recently Marsha was invited to be included into the International ...

Brita Ferm - I have been an enthusiastic collector of art since my late adolescence. Then I slowly lost most of my central vision during the 1980aEURtms and 90aEURtms, eventually becoming legally blind. I could no longer enjoy the art IaEURtmd collected. Inspired by a TV demonstration, I searched the internet for bold, high-contrast works that I could see. The paintings of Romero Britto captured my sight and my heart, and I copied two of his images onto my ratty-looking kitchen cupboard doors. Then, mimicking BritoaEURtms style, I looked out my kitchen window and tried to paint what I sawimagined of the flower boxes on my deck on two more doors. From the year 2000 on, IaEURtmve been making art I can see, trying to capture the little moments in the lives of people and their animals from my rather skewed perspective. My work has sold to private collectors in the US and in Europe. A frequent comment about my work is, aEURoeThis is happy artaEUR I couldnaEURtmt be more pleased. ...

Farah Ravazadeh - If our eyes are the windows to our soul, then I think the visuals that our eyes capture enlighten our souls in some way. Each and every person has the ability to tap into their own sense of creativity, when we do this, it allows us to express the thoughts, emotions, dreams and wishes that cannot really be represented in words. Through the years, I have discovered that I feel my best when I am able to actively express these thoughts and feelings through visual art. My life, my mind, and my soul are a combination of what I put into my art....
