Stjepan Perkovic - Ive always felt the strong need to express myself, to connect with people and the world around me. During childhood, playing with toys, I developed the ability of using legs. Later, first unconsciously, I tried to find the meaning in my physical situation. Eventually I discovered painting. Color is the most important guide in my artistic life. I let the colors to live on my paintings and to lead me to the next level. For me color itself is the ideal I try to reach and communicate with the help of my paintbrush. That process is a constant conversation, starting from the first brushstroke through the reaction that colors induce, leading me to the realization of the painting. Working with children is also very important to me. Children are very interested in my way of painting, they watch carefully when I prepare my palette and suddenly they stop noticing my wheelchair and start to enjoy art. They want to paint using their feet and they are curious about the result. It is very important for me to tear down prejudices in those little people, help them to develop tolerance and creativity in everything they want to do in the future....
Don Schaeffer - I work from photographs abstracting what I see as the essence of the picture. I have been drawing and painting since I was in junior high school. I always thought I was serious about it. With the advent of the internet, I now have places to post and publish my work. I work with oil crayons and graphite as well as crayola crayons and graphite. I tried water color but don't feel that comfortable with them. -- I have written 5 books of poetry and published numerous poems in magazines and e-zines. Photographs and paintings have also appeared in print and in internet publications. ...

Artists Describing Their Art:
Michael Navascues - WELCOME TO THE PORTFOLIO OF MICHAEL NAVASCUES In recent years I have returned to a childhood joy of painting, which I relate to an abiding love of nature and the world's great artists. My work is inspired by places, scenes, and experiences where I have lived and traveled--North Carolina, New England, Germany, Spain, etc. I paint landscapes, waterscapes, gardens--and sometimes, people, buildings, and animals. All my life I have been fascinated by the beautiful changing colors, the light, and the infinite forms in Nature. In my paintings--oils, watercolors, acrylics--I try to capture these meditative moments, and the subtle feelings, moods, and spiritual hints that a scene may awaken in me and the viewer. My work has been exhibited in many local galleries, including three solo shows....Stjepan Perkovic - Ive always felt the strong need to express myself, to connect with people and the world around me.
