Ellen E Hinson - My love of nature and the world we live in is demonstrated by the works of art that I paint. I use oils and watercolor and also love photography.

Deborah Wilson - ARTIST STATEMENT - DEBORAH WILSON Ii?1/2m a native of Missouri, but, my husband and I have taken many opportunities to experience other areas of the US and our neighboring countries. So, my artwork is influenced by all of those cultures and environments which we have spent time in. This includes cross-country camping and hiking trips, which dip into Canada or Mexico, along with various missions trips, working vacations and temporary residences. We have gone on working vacations for extended time periods in USVI (St. John) and Yellowstone National Park. And, my husband and I were dual residents of Missouri and Hawaii for about 5 or 6 years. So, as you can imagine, there is great diversity of subject matter and I need several more lifetimes to paint everything that is wanting to be painted! Some paintings have been done in our camper, some in a makeshift studio in the closet, on the floor or on the dining room table. Here in Missouri, I have a studio separate from our house on our land, just outside of Springfield. Who we are and whatever is in our hearts tends to come out in our artwork. So, you will find a lot ...

Marc De Groote - One of the top 25 Canadian artist invited to compete in the Wildlife Habitat Canada Conservation Stamp Competition. Wildlife artist extraordinaire, come and experience wildlife art as you rarely will see today, Marc's extreme detailed artworks will amaze you. His ability to capture nature at its finest will allow you the experience of being at one with nature. I consider myself a realist artist, greatly influenced by the beauty of nature. The extreme detail created in the natural world is beyond comprehension. My primary objective is to capture that detail with the intent for viewers to contemplate these familiar visions from a different vantage point of being there with nature. To be able to get close to wildife is an near impossible task my art allows the viewer to experience the feeling of being real close. ...

Katherine Taylorgreen - I am a self taught artist, working primarily in pastel. The world of animals and nature is my passion. The power and grace of an arabian hourse, the cool level stare of a wolf, the exuberance of puppies at play, all move me as other subjects haven't. I strive to portray these emotions to the viewer and give them a glimpse into the animal's soul....

Dana Zivanovits - Dana Zivanovits was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio and received his art training from the Columbus College of Art and Design (1978 to 1982). After art school, he went abroad for a year and studied the art of the old masters in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Venice. Returning to his studio in Columbus to develop these influences into a new body of work, he then traveled to Mexico and studied the sculpture and painting of that country for an extended period. The unique and vivid colors of Palenque and Vera Cruz intensified his palette. After a period in Ohio, he then moved to Venice Beach, California where the brilliant light of the region reinforced his desire to capture effects of sunlight and atmosphere. Returning to Ohio in 1995, he has continued to paint themes deriving inspiration form sources such as world mythology, classic and B-grade cinema, literature and dreams. However his primary inspiration is direct observation from nature, versus an approach based in art theories or cultural critique. Dana has been widely represented by galleries and exhibition projects including Julie Rico and Mega Boom in Los Angeles, the Venice Art Detour, Around the Coyote Festival in Chicago ...

Dianne Roberson - Artist Statement Alaska Artist Dianne Roberson As a young artist, I traveled every summer to the mountains where I sketched Native Americans expressing their creativity through pottery, weaving, beadwork, carving, and dancing. It was this tradition of recording their lives with art that bonded me to these distant Cherokee relatives. I have painted these artistic native people throughout North, South, and Central America. My Alaskan paintings are a continuation of these experiences, and a hope to create lasting visual images of native people and their traditions. Through the years, my life has taken me on many journeys far from my roots. I was drawn to Alaska, as if a magnet was pulling me back to nature. I didn't choose to come here, I simply could not stay away. My Northern Light Series was born on a January excursion. In the cold dark night surrounded by silence near the top of the world, I saw magnetic pulses of light. It was ten degrees below zero as the many colors of reflected lights were magnified by the accumulation of snow on the ground. An intense emotion encompassed me and I understood why our ancestors were so awed, even frightened, by the ...

Debra Ann Reilly - At age 5 in kindergarten Debra loved painting so much she created a life size self-portrait wearing a bright orange smock, holding a huge palette in one hand a giant paintbrush in the other.

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. ...

Donna Schaffer - Art has been a main thread throughout my life. It has woven through 23 years of advertising agency and photojournalism experience and has resulted in the development of my personal dimension of oil painting - especially in the painting of incredible undersea environments and marine life. This connecting thread of art has made me very aware of the color and light in the undersea world of scuba diving. I've been a scuba diver since 1976; an underwater photographer since 1983; and a full-time fine arts oil painter since 1998. In addition to lots of dive adventures from Point Lobos to the Monterey Wharf, I've been all over the world to pursue scuba diving adventures - Papua New Guinea, Palau, the Great Barrier Reef, Truk Lagoon, Fiji, Cayman, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, Roatan, Barbados, and more. At each location the underwater marine life and scenes were photgraphed and sketched. Looking at the resulting slides with an artist's eye has always been a disappointment. Underwater flash photography can cause garish shadows in images. Natural light is too dim to show any color on the exposed film besides blue (especially in these Northern California waters). The deeper a diver goes, the more ...

Thomas Konrath - I've always drawn, can't remember a time when I didn't. I really just enjoy doing it, drawing, or creating something 3 dimensional. Wildlife, Nature, Native American themes dominate my work. Natural materials have always fascinated me. My primary focus the past few years has been pen & ink on leather. The variations in the leather I use as well as in the barkless branches & wild grapevines I use to frame the drawings, present interesting challenges, & make each piece very unique. I produce the drawings in series, that is, each drawing is completely hand reproduced, & while very similar no two are exactly alike. ...
