Artists Describing Their Art:
Eve Co - I began painting and drawing in 1987 and have not stopped. I have a wide range from, landscapes, still-lifes, hubble art (galaxies & nebulas), abstracts, florals, architectural art and so much more. I draw everyday and paint as much as I can afford. I paint more watercolors than acrylic and oil canvas art. I would prefer more canvas art, but I make do with what I have. I try to express myself in artwork as well as with words. I paint landscapes, the glorious colors of nature, water, the ever expressive sky and more, primarily with watercolors on paper. These paintings are usually thought out and planned because they represent nature as I see nature. I paint still-life's of everyday objects. To teach myself about one particular color, shading and or painting glass. (I think of still-life's as a learning process that literally has me pulling my hair out in frustration, but I still paint through how they make me feel. ). I am fascinated with Hubble Space Technology so, I paint galaxies and nebulas on canvas with acrylic paints. I have sold many of these paintings and I must admit they are some of my favorite...
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 ...

Ken Posney - Kennard Matthew Posney was born in California. As for many nature photographers, the interest in producing these images grew from an exposure to the outdoors at an early age. A trip to Yosemite and a hike up Half Dome provided Posney with an intense desire for fine art & landscape photography. Displaying a unique and natural talent for artistic composition, Posney currently works in both black and white and color photography. Inspired by the work of Ansel Adams, John Sexton and William Neill, Posney captures the essence of nature's infinite beauty on film, providing the viewer with a unique and personal experience. "Majestic peaks, rugged coast and inspiring vistas make California one of the most popular places to visit and live. Our challenge is to preserve places such as these so our children may enjoy them as well". Like most photographers, Posney wanted to share the beauty that is out there to be seen and experienced. Displaying an impressive ability to uniquely compose an image on film, Posney's work is displayed in homes and businesses by people who appreciate the fine arts and love the outdoors. ...
Maria Teresa Fernandes - Admiring Teresa's paintings we are touched by her pictorial sensitivity. Difficult task in light colors (volume and transparencies on a clear basis).

Radha Abramo(Renowned art critique)comments at Solo Exhibition Catalog at SESC Paulista in June 84 -( sent at request and reproduced in one of the pages of this site). ...
