Artists Describing Their Art:

Debbi Chan - I am going to do an updated artist's statement. But until I submit it you have a short temporary one. As an artist I an fullfilled and contend. But at the same time I seek more , absorb more, and enjoy more. Art fills and fullfills me..I am always being an artist. My eyes see art always. This is not a hobby that I partake of when time suits. Art feeds me. Art consoles me. And being prolific it also takes my time. And for this I am thankful that i listened to my inner self. I am thankful for a following that grows by the minute. I enjoy you enjoying my portfolio. I also have come to realize that the coined phrase "starving artist" is a reality for some of us.

Having previously exhibited in many exhibitions in both the United Kingdom and France, Gold Fish Galleries in Sarasota, Florida then in the Lincoln Centre in New York and done many commissions for people both in London, the provinces but also in The United States, I finished a commission from Cunard Line in 2003, through the art consultants "Onderneming & Kunst" to do six oil paintings for the penthouses on board the new "Queen Mary 2", launched in ...

Caroline Dilworth - An Irish Artist, splitting my time between the beautiful Irish Lakelands of Fermanagh and the vast Lanarkshire countryside, I paint the celtic landscapes and the animals that encapsulate rural life.

With animal paintings I focus on the reality of their sparkling eyes. They are the windows to their soul, and as such, they must reflect that individual's spirit. When you look him in his eyes I want you to know exactly what he is thinking. "My treasures do not clink or glitter...they neigh!" ...Caroline ...
