Charles Hanson - Sylvia Volpi - PHILOSOPHY: To be an artist is to be creative, autonomous, conscious, bold... It is to dare and allow yourself the delirium, reach the imaginary, the fantasy, the pleasure, the beauty ... To wish for the real and to wish for the impossible.

Debra Cortese - I believe everything on our planet shares a core energy, a vital life force that animates and supports all growth and renewal. In nature, when this energy is balanced and uninhibited by human interference, the flow is smooth, perfection exists. When I am truly in touch with nature, the feelings that I experience are incredibly magical, full of wonder and joy! I create the nature and plant spirit images to share these feelings, and hopefully to evoke similar feelings in viewers and instill a greater respect for the immense value of our natural environment. My visions of the nature energies evolved over many years of personal experience. I was first aware of them as a child playing in the woods and streams of my family home in the Catskill Mountains of New York. In the early 70's I read about the existence of nature spirits at the Findhorn gardens in Scotland. Fascinated by their stories, I began to experiment with communicating with the devas while gardening and hiking in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. I read voraciously and learned that nature spirits have existed throughout time in almost every culture around the world. I soon realized that my intention was ...

Cathy Savels - Nature as art, in absolute detail. A never ending paradox that tears me from reality. Everything has a spirit, a voice that needs to be listened to. Creativity is my passion. This was the journey of my childhood, as I watched my father create wonderful furniture in wood and observed my mother sewing beautiful garments with fabrics. When I search for inspiration, I look over the vineyards surrounding my studio in south-west France and ideas engulf me. Dreams evolve into reality, midnight sketches become my driving force. Before my canvas, I see the world through a lens. I'm interested in what escapes me. ...

Rosemarie Stanford - ------------------------------------------------------------------- I love to play with light in my images. "I find nature, especially flowers, to be very sensual and I try to capture that sensuality in my work. I use only black backgrounds because,to me, black gives a dramatic and mysterious look to the work. I especially love the way black intensifies the beauty and gentleness of an orchid, flower or shell, yet at the same time, has a powerful feel. I enjoy working with nature. There is a tranquility in a garden that is so comforting. So come walk through my garden and let me share its beauty with you. I have begun exploring the intricacy of a shell formations. The shapes, color and patterns are amazing. You can view more of my work at www.fruitofmylabor.com Thank you for stopping by and viewing my work. ...
