Artists Describing Their Art:

Valery Veselovsky - The poetry of Russian scenery and of rural life in this country, high aesthetic qualities of old Russia's architecture full and inspire his art. His intention is not to delineate the image of a particular piece of scenery, but to bring out through art what is common for Middle Russia's nature in it. A picture to him is not just an enlarged and polished up sketch, but the product of imagination, generalizations. The wealth of colours artist uses in his spring and autumn landscapes is innumerable. Mixing paints is a technique of last resort for Valery, and he leaves to each colour its own power, freshness and shine to speak for itself. Veselovsky is a tireless experimentalist. He experiments with texture and materials in order to achieve beautiful colors. Trying to achieve spontaneity and freedom in his treatment of colours Master explores their possiblities by using rough and smooth textures or by making use of paste-like gabs. Frequently uses heavy canvas material suchas jute or burlap to achieve texture. Many of his works are an intricate cross between genre and landscape painting. People are not just present in his pictures, but they live in them as they ...

She lives in and works from an 18th century country rectory in the heart of Wicklow.

This exhibition is staged annually to showcase the work of the best of International Equine artists.

Her landscapes portray an other-worldly atmosphere of moments caught in time and depict anachronistic experiences and a way of...

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 "...

Dragutin Barac - "The eyes are reflection of the soul" So and my art speaks about me. Sensitive and refined sense of observation created me as the artist with both, painting and photography skill.I started paint in watercolour technique. After I visited London and Amsterdam, where I spent three years, I slightly changed my view of life; started with another approach of art - PHOTOGRAPHY. Spending most of the time in different places, mainly by nature, I become fascinated with Mediterranean mysticism what is everywhere visible. I am a member of CROATIAN FREELANCE ARTISTS ASSOCIATION and CROATIAN FINE-ART ARTISTS ASSOCIATION. I have been working as freelance for a twenty years....

Carey Scott - I am a professional artist, wife, mother and cat lover. I work in various media although I probably favor Acrylic on canvas because I love bold flat color. I express myself in my art so my painting have many levels. They can appear almost childlike at first, which I love, but there is so much more. I don't detail the emotions behind the paintings. I want you to find your own reaction and emotions in them. Anyway, I hope you love them. ...

Maria Beadell - My art displays a mix of subject matter; from portraits to still-life. I prefer to focus on portraiture, so I paint portraits of my loved ones in a variety of poses and surreal contexts that best illustrates what they each mean to me. These paintings and sketches are highly personal. Surrealism is a big influence for me, and in several paintings I have paid homage to my favourite images and symbolism from Bosch, Kandinsky and Dali. I work in a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, pencil, pastel and charcoal for sketches. In my gallery I've tried to include all examples of these, and works which demonstrate the different painting styles I like to experiment with. I paint as a hobby (my dream is to paint full-time) and am available for commission. Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy my work!...

David Cuffari - I approach my work as a visual poem. Sometimes the meaning is simple and direct and other times it's more complex. I prefer to create work that is open-ended allowing the viewer their own interpretation of what I present. I am primarily a painter preferring to work in acrylics as it allows me to make rapid revisions which helps keep the work fresh and immediate. The over-arching theme of my artwork is the human condition. I see the fabric of life as woven in opposites. By employing dualities like order/chaos, rough/smooth textures, themes of life/death, controlled effects/happy accidents, rational/irrational imagery, I try to paint interesting pictures that allow the viewer to see the world a bit differently. I am also interested in the notion of time. I don't believe that time is linear but more like an echo. I try to avoid static imagery preferring to create a complex painting that unfolds as you look at it, with layers of imagery and meaning. I do this by preserving the process of editing and revision as I arrive at the final image. Most recently I've been proceeding without a pre-conceived ...

Kelly Goode - I start with things I find: pictures, letters, ads, fabric, idea fragments that belong to other people, and then I fill in the blanks with my own story. Working with collage makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger, and like I'm preserving the otherwise forgettable details of humanity in some small way. Schooled in photography and self-taught in painting and the rest, my most influential teachers are guts and sensitivity. My gut jitters when I know its good and sinks when it stinks. Sensitivity makes me vulnerable to emotions and perceptive to life and our history. When I tell people about my artwork I say "There's a little bit of me in there, there's a little bit of you in there"....
