Artists Describing Their Art:

Cheryl Brumfield-Knox - Artist Statement for Cheryl Knox My primary creative interests are nurtured through stained glass, pastel landscapes, jewelry, and the camera. My pastel images are usually of ethereal landscapes, from my imagination. They are often of a place where I'd like to be at that time or of a place I fondly remember. The frames I use for them are made from salvaged wood from structures destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, an awesome discovery. The authentic colors, uniqueness, reward of preserving of a bit of history-someone's life or past-and using these in a work of art, completes the creative circle for me. Of course, I also use traditional frames for pastels, but there is compelling beauty with the Katrina frames. Stained glass is a beautiful medium with endless creative potential. My stained glass images break with convention by incorporating beveled glass and Swarovski crystals into the designs, along with endless varieties of colored glass with their different reflective properties. These add another aesthetic dimension to a sunlit glass design in a window: cascades of rainbows dancing across a room. The interaction of sunlight and incandescent lighting with stained glass works is spellbinding to me. Creating jewelry, as a "...

Debra Bretton Robinson - Debra Bretton Robinson Artist Statement: My paintings are inspired by the beauty and complexity of landscape forms both real and imagined. I use the subject of landscape to explore the edge between abstraction and representation with an emphasis on the expressive use of color. I believe color is the soul of a painting, often reflecting the tension between what is known and what is felt. Like the Abstract Expressionists, I am inspired by the act of painting itself and by the sensual articulation of color and form. I prefer acrylics and collage because of their potential for flat shapes and washes of color. When painting, I weave thin outlines around graphic shapes in a gestural bravado, drawing from a palette of uninhibited colors. In the end, my paintings are a symphonic consonance of lustrous hues and expressive forms; a harmony of abstract marks and recognizable imagery. I paint in my studio as well as in the field, the scale of my work ranging from small studies to much larger canvases. The Fauves, as well as The Seven, have played important roles in the development of my style. Favorite artists include Henri Matisse, William Henry Johnson, Tommy Thompson, Lawren Harris, Fairfield ...

Maggie Bezuhly - Art is so much a part of our lives, every thing we buy there was an artist behind it creating the visual affect. Our history is told by art created a long time ago. Any type of art has always inspired me so, I would like for my art work to inspire other people to use their creative abilities, what ever that may be. ...

Rolando Lambiase - Art in general, painting, is feeling & sensations rather than studies, styles & techniques. Any piece of art must convey soul & passion, beauty & everlasting pleasantness. Elite art does not quire convince me, nor do messy & abstruse paintings. Drawing is marginal, chromatic output essential. Land & sea scapes my favourite....

Alex Mortensen - Currently I am most interested in painting of natural areas, especially coastal scenes and tend to concentrate on sunrise and sunsets when I really appreciate the glorious colours and patterns of clouds nteresting. I like, too, the waves at the beach. I hope that my portrayal of clouds and waves continually improve over time. Since travelling to Central Australia, the desert areas, I have done a number of paintings, mainly with oils, of desert landforms, especially The Breakaways just north of Coober Pedy in South Australia. I am very committed to art and am studying Fine Art through Curtin University. I have gained High Distinctions in each unit studied to date....

Heather Rippert - As a painter, I am interested in touching the viewer's spirit in a deep, long, and sensitive way. My desire to take the viewer on a transcendent trip to a place of peace, serenity and joy is the backbone of my paintings. My passion for paper runs deep. I absolutely love working on paper surfaces. Discovering new paper and what its unique characteristics are and how it responds to watercolor or pastel, my two primary mediums, is a favorite pastime for me. Captivated by the diversity of seascapes, from calm soothing surf to stormy seas, I bring the elements together in my watercolors and pastels using strong contrast of darks and lights. My fascination with shadows in the sand is always both a challenge and joy in my process of painting and working the paint to get just the right shade and just the right shape to tantalize the viewer and welcome them into my private world. ...
