Artists Describing Their Art:
Suzanne Caron -
Annemarie Rackham - I started drawing and painting about ten years ago. I have always been able to be creative and imaginative. Drawing and painting my own individual thoughts and designs is a creative outlet for me. My artwork is often my interpretation of emotion, thoughts and the world around me. Painting is a positive way of conveying thought and form the way I see and feel them. I hope people like my art and buy it. I am getting ready to add new works. I have been in several local art shows. Some of my pieces have been bought. I will be creating more of them. To show and sell. I think art in all its forms make the world a better place on many levels. I am a South Florida native and I am 51. AnneMarie Rackham...
Elizabeth Griffith - Elizabeth Griffith, MA, LPC-I, ATR Supervised by Deborah Lindeen, LPCS, LPC, ATR-BC I am a mixed media artist, art therapist and counselor in training. My work mostly consists of oil and acrylic paintings. My artwork is inspired by my experiences throughout life and my strong desire to understand people and society. I believe art can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer and that the buyer should have a strong connection to the piece. Feel free to contact me with questions or comments about my portfolio. Thank you,...
Valerie Leri - A strong element throughout my work, is light - both physical and spiritual - through a combination of realism and abstract. My mission is to capture a sense of spontaneity, tranquility, andor movement and energy through the interaction of colors and shapes. I paint with acrylics. Some of my work is interwoven with elements from nature such as bark, sand, stones, shells creating a partiuclar mood and giving the painting three dimensions. I work more by feeling than technique, letting the painting in a sense create iself with myself as a conduit to the visual message, thus the end result is more about flow than form. To a limited extent I strive for effect but most often my efforts are toward lifting the veils of illusion to reveal the truth. There is no right way to interpret my art. All of my work is inspired by the need to create exhilaration, inner joy and peace, both for myself and the view. Ultimately my art is an invitation to dream....
Max Tolentino - I do not think of art as a rationalization of an artistic thought or perhaps I am not still able to think this way. What fascinates me is the exercise of art; it is doing something that can express my personal point of view of things and the perception and the expression of the world as I see. Anything that carries human significance may cause me an emotion with the same intensity that I see at any museum in the world. Art is an emotional and intellectual product to me. Since my late starting in arts I have been sculpting my way in the artistic scenario with a differenced curiosity so that my overture to this environment gives me a privileged position. Doubts - no doubt - will arise, as my works transit between the formalism and the concept, between the beautiful and the political in art. But the doubts belong more to the one who sees then to me. Maybe I want to go further than the cultural concepts i?1/2 not that I pay much attention to it - but perhaps one day appreciating from outside I may glimpse a chance to be inside thus contributing in a certain way to this world ...
Suzanne Caron - A blank surface is quickly covered with fluid colour using a large brush or sponge. Gestural strokes in the still-wet paint suggest movement and form, and from there the painting evolves almost with a will of its own, an intuitive process, at least up to a certain point. As the work progresses, ideas form rapidly and are sometimes sketched on paper before applying more paint. I dont always know where to begin or even end, but thats what excites me about painting....the unknown ...

John Tooma - This site is only a guide to my artworks, you will appreciate them alot more when they are seen in real life. These prices are set in US currency, hope you could be aware of this. As a Painter and Graphic DesignerIllustrator, art is huge part of my life. Its a great feeling to have the ability to draw and paint what my eye can see. As an observer, I love to sketch in my A5 pads and photograph most subject matter transferring the visual information onto paper, canvas, clay or the computer. I use digital photographic equipment only as a support for my work. I draw and paint virtually everything but my passion lies with the human body. I use dry and wet medium such as graphite pencil, chalk pastel, charcoal, ink, gouache and oil paints. I enjoy experimenting with my subject. I also use the apple computer for retouching and airbrushing technique. You can order Prints from any of these Paintings or Drawings and this would be printed on either Paper or Canvas depending on your preference. It is an absolute pleasure to share my passion with you and to speak about it through art. I enjoy sketching ...
Chad A. Carino - A quality which defines the life of any urban artist is the visible entropy surrounding us in the form of decay and despoilation of the desolation defining post-industrial urban America. Simply put, we live in darkness. This quality bends and controls me, defining my work, decaying into darkness and chaos. A solid idea will find itself dissolving into a series of dark scribbles, and a simple concept will belie its ultimate complexity. These images find themselves hovering between unconsiousness and depression; ultimately, cold, dark, and dead, like any planet or person....
