Artists Describing Their Art:
Wendy Lippincott - Complex allegories dominate the many themes that pervade Ms. Lippincott's paintings. She prefers incorporating science into her art, consistent with her background in electrical engineering, but often gets waylaid with mythological and historical visions. Her paintings are currently only available for licensing. She hopes to have prints available soon. ...
Luise Andersen - Luise'Mignon' Andersen Luise'Mignon' Andersen has only recently begun to reveal her lifes work. Soon after her debut she exploded onto the mainstream art world. Her breathtaking pieces have captured international interest. The stories Luise'Mignon' is telling through her truly deep, layered works seem to decipher the past and foretell the future, perhaps sharing her window to other dimensions and a seventh sense. Her detailed acrylic'Mignon' series speaks to the beholder. They inspire raw emotion and ignite ones imagination. The indescribable nature of the "Duree De Ma Vie" in particular has a growing portion of the art community considering it the conception of an entirely new style.

Nancy Bechtol - Artists explore and give the world a view of their personal heightened awareness. I visualize and think with keen beliefs and insights. Reflection of human and societal concerns which cross emotional boundaries-- communicating that which is unspoken. My traditional art foundations of drawing, painting and printmaking, evolved into video, digital photography and experimental media. I use digital photography and imaging to envision the concepts originating from the creative pulse.An individual artist explores and gives the world a view of their personal heightened awareness.

Osnat Lippa - Art for me is about expressing my creative drive and pushing myself to experiment and work with an exciting yet undiscovered medium. I am a digital artist but also use photography and painting as reference material. I want to create beautiful images and colour is of primary concern but I also like my images to mean something. All my images are personal and depict an aspect of my life. Their symbolism is mysterious and can be interpreted in different ways. They mean different things to different people. I would call my art abstract expressionism with a figurative element....
Berit Nelson - My art reflects me; my ideas, my thoughts and my innermost struggles. As I go forth in life, I find inspiration everywhere.....in people, in places, in objects, but mostly in myself. What begins as an idea eventually grows into art, however I have discovered over the years that it is the process of getting there that I enjoy the most! My photography on the other hand, is another story. I enjoy taking pictures immensely and I have a good eye for it, and my real inspiration comes from that and that alone. I like seeing the final prints and remembering the journey I got to go on to get them! Sometimes the journey takes me far from home and other times I barely get out of the door but no matter where I end up, I usually find something beautiful to take a picture of!...
Fundi Hatari - Allow me to introduce myself and services to you. My name is Fundi Hatari; simply put a "Dangerous Artist." Briefly, my artistic expressions ranged from pencils sketches which led to oil pastels as finger paintings, and watercolors to the black light experience with poster art and murals using fluorescent water colors and India ink. From there I ventured the path pen/inks, charcoals, photo silk-screening, and eventually graphic design and photography production. And lastly the digital experience with computers. As a web designer my past creative efforts has led to the creation of many websites.

Erica Emerson - I remember gazing over my uncle Melvie's shoulder as he doodled the most wonderful characters on the dinner napkin at the local L & K diner. I had to be five or six. I knew at that moment that Art was to be my passion. I spent my childhood summers painting what my eyes interpreted. Laying on the front stoop, surrounded in millions of colored wax, just trying to get that next door neighbor's roof just right. Sitting in church, with the members around me coming out of the sermon with a sense of peace, mine was different, I had a masterpiece in hand. I was amazed how I could see my own little picture in every corner of life. When I was in Junior High school, I remember going to see my Art teacher and asking her how to start thinking of scholarship for Art school. She looked at me and with wide eyes, " Well, I've never had a student so young be so interested in Art school!" -But then again, I wasn't just any Art student. In High School, freshman thru senior Art years were fantastic. I was taught by another inspirational teacher. She had...
Eduardo Diaz - Statement My name is Eduardo DIaz and Iim a Mexican artist residing in the Bay Area since 2001. In my work I express different elements of Mexican culture, while emphasizing its Native American heritage. I incorporate native themes and images, both extant and prehispanic, into my works and combine them with personal feelings, experiences or fears. Although cultural elements are the essence of my art, through them I also like to express political and social opinions. As a Mexican, I feel in touch with the problems at the Mexican-American border, as well as with the issues facing Mexican immigrants. I also like to express the tension between the indigenous and the industrialized worlds, and to analyze the different elements that make up Mexican identity, especially when confronted with life in a different country. My favorite medium is oil painting. I use vivid and deep colors, with which I reflect the light of the Mexican sun. Some of my compositions are figurative, and oscillate between realistic scenes and more elaborated images, with affinity to surrealism. My most recent productions are less figurative and combine the same vivid colors into expressive abstract constructions. Biography My name is Eduardo D...
Ralph Michael Brekan - Art gives a unique glimpse into the past and a vision of the future. Theme's of popular culture, consumerisim and politics fill our waken world and I in turn create artwork that defines the world around me. Reoccuring elements of mass production and ego identity reside throughout my work, both in the subject matter itself and in the media I've chosen to execute the vision. Contemprary art methods and contemporary themes and subject matter yeild great contemporary art. My art work subscribes to the most common virtue of past masters: experimentation....
Ned Meneses - Dear reader, The master and the student, being and nonbeing, art has been a way of life for me. At times finding myself on the wrong side of the brush. I have an affinity for nature - Physics & math, and like to be in a state of constant motion. I will explore everything that I can. Styles come and go but what remains is a clean idea that somehow remains on paper (or on light beams) In these exciting times it is not beyond our abilities to reach farther than we ever imagined and redefine ourselves. Coming back to that concept'mastery', as an artist that is all you can try, to see how far you can look into infinity. ...
