Artists Describing Their Art:

Claudia Nierman - Some words about my work: The images I produce are deliberately enigmatic and multi-layered. They invite the viewer to engage in the process of storytelling whereby dreaming and living are woven together as a tapestry. I find the sources for my work in the urban environment: window displays, torn posters, graffiti, broken architecture. In short, the remains of man. These objects and situations are eventually transformed by rain, sun, reflections, and shadows, as well as additions made by the passerby. Shaped by the forces of chance, these ephemeral visions are captured on film (and now also in bits and bites) and used as raw material that merge one into another forming a new identity. The result? On one hand, a strange amalgam of my preoccupation with time and memory, and on the other, the way in which the deliberate manipulaton through photographic images can give us insight into our personal and collective struggles. Technical information: I usually work in three different formats: 25 cm x 30 cm and 32 cm x 45 cm printed on cibachrome paper; and a large format of 57 cm x 80 cm, digitilizing the final image and printing it on canvas. (Since this latter ...

Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my art and acts as a vital element in my etchings. The images I employ originate from my own photographs, as well as from the images I find from my research into the digital archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, and museums. Upon locating a documented scene I wish to etch, my first step involves the execution of two to five original drawings of the photograph. My collaboration between photography and printmaking allows me the independence to integrate my personal interpretations into the scene. Moreover, I create bridges between the physical and metaphysical visual realities in the same way that a camera intersects with human creativity . . . the nexus between the mechanical and the cerebral art tools. Art unveils everything that we mask behind our belief systems conversely, I strive in my creations to clarify those phenomena we overlook as a result of our egocentric assumptions. Ironically enough, I blame this failure to notice things, a process I label, the phenomenology of connectedness, on todayaEURtms very infatuation with and addiction to the new communicational technologies of social media. My artworks therefore become like windows through which to examine the mysteries of aEURoeeveryday consciousnessaEUR. In fact, my use of ...

Lynda Lehmann - I have participated in numerous juried shows and had solo shows of my paintings. Ive sold my photography and digital art online, in galleries and other real-time venues, although I am currently marketing my work primarily online. My stock art sells well and Ive sold at least 2400 images in that venue. Life events had steered me away from painting but I am jumping back into that part of my process and hope to have new paintings online within the next few months. OTHER STUFF My painting Bibliophiles Dream has been featured on the cover of the Insights Journal of Austin Seminary.

Merete Jakobsen - Colours have always fascinated me. They have the ability to illuminate our senses and bring out feelings of joy and sorrow, depending on where we are in life. Wherever I turn there are colours. The pale blue northern sky playing with the different shades on the white snow. Being stunned by the intense blues and reds against the African soil. Discover the beauty of a flower created so perfectly compound. The light playing with a landscape creating different moods at different times. This is magic to me. Rembrandt with his mysterious light and colours fascinates me as much as the vibrant colours of Georges Rouault. I visited Barcelona and was caught by the roughness and beauty of Antoni Tapies' artwork. Films with atmosphere, depth and beauty fills me up and inspires me. When I paint, all these impressions in my mind find their way onto the clean white canvas. Life is so full of wonders, if we manage to slow down and take the time to see and experience and hold on to it, it will enrich our lives so much. When I paint I move between creating figurative and abstract paintings. The freedom of doing so gives me more ...

Toni Markette - Each moment we live is a gift and there are moments that I capture with my lens that I can savor and share - that's how I view my photography - whether it is strait shooting or images I dreamed up from reality into fantasy - it is a sharing of hearts and minds. Sometimes I translate what my heart sees through brushes onto canvas and then I share color - color that grabs you by the eyeballs and swings you around. I believe that being happy is a choice, I choose to be happy every day and it my inner happiness that I express on my canvases....

Lisa Lorenz - Art is a universal concept and there are as many opinions about what "Art" is as there are people in the world. I have always admired children's artwork; as it is imaginative, uninhibited and full of joyful colours. Exuberantly and cheerfully is the way I like to live and the way I like to paint. I am inspired by the simple things in life and captivated by the love, beauty and colours surrounding us. I love to create cheerful, bright, stylized paintings adding a little colour and happiness into our lives. My art is a celebration of life, colour and form. I want my paintings to bring out the child within; the part that is free to dream and forget about our everyday stresses. I work from my imagination, infusing my own playful personality into my work. I work mainly with acrylics which I love for their vivid colours and versatility. I love to paint with bright colours and experiment with juxtapose combinations of colors, shapes and ideas. My subject matter covers a varied range of subjects, all indicative of the many places and aspects of life I find intriguing: Flowers with their beautiful colours and organic shapes; Memories ...

Rickie Dickerson - I work from the core, I smear my guts on the canvas, all the pain and confusion...joy, lust and anger...right before your very eyes. I have to paint, I have no choice. My mentor, Luise "Mignon" Andersen, introduced me to acrylic paint and threw me deeper into the river of creativity. Everything I do is just to keep me from drowning... As for the photography, that's compulsive as well....
