Baldemar Vargas - The most rewarding thing to me as a self taught artist is when a piece of artwork i've created reaches out and takes the viewer on a journey. A journey of color, subject, and composition, and encourages the viewer to interact with emotion, by opinion, or criticism. ...

Dorothy Nuckolls - I am a self taught artist. I have been painting for about 30 years. My love of art began as a child. The awesome beauty of nature and the magic of color always intrigued me. To reproduce God's art; wheather it be outdoor sences, or portairts; has always been a goal for me. I started doing portairts in 2002 and realize that, that was what I really loved to do.Now I specialize mostly in portairts. I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I enjoyed painting it.

Christine Lytwynczuk - Christine's paintings are about the human experience: relationships, emotions and introspection. She strives to evoke the feelings of empathy, hope, serenity and comfort through her work. Her paintings have a commanding presence, yet are quiet and exude a sense of intimacy. To be in a room with one of her paintings is like being in the presence of a close friend. Christine often paints children from different cultures, for children experience the same thoughts, fears, hopes and aspirations as adults, but they do not have emotional masks to hide behind. She paints from different cultures to highlight our inner similarities and because she is enthralled with the diverse ornamentation and design found throughout all lands. She feels that cultural decoration adds richness and beauty to life, especially when harmonized with the native landscape. Christine Lytwynczuk was born in Tucson, AZ in 1974. She spent most of her formative years, and as much time as possible now, in the Sonoran Desert. Her love of the desert and nature is revealed in many of her paintings. For twelve years she attended an open-classroom school where she had unlimited access to art materials. During high school she spent a summer in ...
Jacqueline Weegels - My whole life I have created art somehow, as do most people one way or another. I grew up with a father who enjoyed painting large theater back drops and making larger than life papermache float creations. Although, I felt inspired by this, it somehow intimidated me and made me want to work small. Now, having raised two children, and influenced and been influenced by them and THEIR art, my work has become ever more eclectic and varied. I am ready for a new phase in my art as, like everyone else, continue to conquer new challenges in life, stay healthy and seek balance. ...
Sharon Austin - With the simplicity of pen and ink, I try to capture the essence of my subjects without the distractions of color. I also try to capture the Caribbean flavors of my birthplace in the faces and places I create on canvas....
Daryl Budd - As an artist, I endeavor to visually convey emotion using a photorealistic, detailed style. My goal is to focus the viewers eye upon the essence of the piece. I'm alive when I paint. My spirit is lifted to a higher level and I'm connected to the world around me. I try to make you feel the emotion, taste the colors, feel the breeze, smell the air,etc,etc. Hopefully some of these components will be experienced when you view my work....
Tirzo Martha - The material doesn't need to be filled with words. It speaks for itself. It is our consciousness that has to translate it for us. My work is a loyal mirror of our societies, a reflection of a fragment from the thin line between fiction and reality. Tirzo Martha 2004...
David Lorenz Winston - My imagery is about discovery. It takes me to places I have never been, places that free me from the pressures of a clock driven world, places that heal. I'm most excited when in tune with the underlying flow and energy of the ordinary. I seek to reveal the essence of a moment or place gone unnoticed. I love showing things in new ways, using the elements of surprise, mystery and playfulness, fused with design and movement. ...
Caroline Macdonald - Caroline MacDonald's fascination for variety, energy, contrasting lights, colours and peoples are her inspiration and passion. There is joy, love, laughter, kindness and heartbreak everywhere in equal measures. Her aim is to express the emotions that inspire her, she paints in reaction to all she sees and feels. She does not intend to paint photographically but rather to initiate an emotional response in her viewers, to the passion which inspired her. Caroline MacDonald has lived all over the world; she is married to a civil engineer and has two children. They are as important to her as her art. She has enjoyed every new situation. There is vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. Martha Graham ...
Susan Moore - I like to create realistic,fantasy,fairytale images using watercolour,oil,pen &ink,coloured pencil or acrylic. I use very fine detail so quite often mix media(adding tiny ink lines to eyelashes etc. on watercolour or coloured pencil)and using very fine brushes with oil or acrylic. My themes are varied and I am able to work in any style. My personal favorites are fantasy images with a great deal of contrast and depth to make them appear as if they are real. ...
