Colette Theriault - New Website: visit www.colettetheriault.com for complete portfolio gallery! Growing up surrounded by the rugged wilderness of Northern Ontario, my love of nature began at an early age. I was inspired by my family who's love of the outdoors manifested itself by countless days of fishing, hunting and camping. Drawn by the beauty and mystery of nature, I was always on the lookout for wildlife, exploring every inch of the forest floor or tree canopy. As a result, I had a need to express this beauty through my drawings and paintings. This undying urge to learn as much as I could about the living world around us later led me to an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree specializing in Biology while I continued to paint and draw part time. My favorite mediums include graphite pencil and watercolor but I also work with acrylic, oil and pastel. I am a self-taught artist and enjoy very much experimenting with different forms of art. My other interests include photography, furniture designing, small mammal husbandry and gardening. To learn how to build your own custom wood frames, visit my woodworking site at:

Kah Wah Chong - To me, art is like a song. I wish my painting can wave up viewer soul, to feel the inner or the real characteristic of the object...or i hope the viewer can feel what i feel. Like music i basically using color and composition to compose my painting while ignore local color...and i also think i should draw what the world ought to be rather than what the world should look like...and the main thing is i really enjoy the PROCESS of painting....

Shaukat Mulla - i percive a patntig in terms of a poem.a poem presents the total picture of harmony.a poem-picture you read every line saperatly,but the meaning remains one with one another a painting like a poem ought to be a picture harmony--a harmony between the forms,space colours,lines texture and visual experience .the abstract content of painting my quest is for rediscovery of lost harmony a grammer of colours which effectively illuminates my attitude to everyday life my skill comes from everyday events,vibrant or tender brush stokes emerge straight from the heart,everything around is a source of inspiration....

Charles Rowland - 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....

Always having a love for wildlife and animals, Archibald Thorburn,Fenwick Landsdowne,Raymond Harris Ching,David Shepherd,Rembrant and Mary Cassat were great influences in the early stages and latter stages of my work, this was complimented with having a grandfather who was an artist and a father who was a gamekeeper. Much of my work was self taught up to the age of 18, this was when my first sale of original paintings took place in Salt Spring Island, Canada.Bought by a collector of wildlife paintings who had noticed my work through a member of my family who lives there. In 1985 I started to work for Shropshire Trust For Nature Conservation,providing illustrations of wildlife subjects for schools and colleges. My work started to be recognised and other opportunities arose including other wildlife and community based projects.

Stephanie Hayden - My work varies in style, i try to capture moments of my life on different canvases, from watercolours, acrylics, to montages, sculpture and my photography. Much of my work is dark & disturbing and i can attribute it to the fact that until recently i was registered blind, legally, having been born with dislocated lenses. The more vibrant & colourful works are from my later period after i had surgery to implant interocular lenses, thus i now see the world in a totally different way. This can be seen across my portfolio....
