Artists Describing Their Art:

Tom Lund-Lack - Tom Lund-Lack is a self-taught painter whose work uses the power of imagination to seek out the core elements of the subjects he paints. His work is grounded in the need to celebrate life, and to express our sense of existence through the recognition of the transforming power of colour and light. Arrangements of shape, line, pattern and colour conjure up powerful expressions, sometimes dreamlike and at peace sometimes exciting and dramatic. The pieces do not always represent an actual moment in time, but are rather the result of a process of reflection, recollection and reinvention, a distillation of his experiences. ...

David Rocky Aguirre - ************** To me, Art seems to be a universal language. It can be used to portray something beautiful and uplifting, or to portray a tragedy to motivate and move people to act. To motivate them to help in some way as in Picasso's "Guernica 1937". I have a wide range in creative interests, from most forms of painting- oil to watercolor and on to print forms, sculpture, photography, film and computer animation. Contact me for any creative projects you may have....

Karen Brenner - Capturing beautiful moments in the lives of horses -- that is the theme of my work. I've always been passionate about horses and art. Creating realistic, beautiful paintings depicting the strength and quiet dignity of horses in a brilliant palette of colors is an exciting, creative way to combine my passions. With their wonderful flowing lines and volumetric forms horses are a perfect subject. Enjoy!...

Eve Jorgensen - Far North Queenlsand artist, Eve Jorgensen takes inspiration from the Natural Australian landscapes to develop individual paintings. Capturing the essence of Autralian diversity, from the dry dusty stockmans lifestyle to the cane farming heritage. The rich colours capture the essence of the Australian bush,rainforests, beaches, birds, flowers and wildlife. Each painting is an individually thought out process. It is not dictated by current fashion and home decor trends. Although Eve is extensively world travelled and has seen many sites around the globe that testify to natures magnificent beauty, Eve is foremost an Australian and all her inspiration and enthusiasm to paint scenes come from the Australian landscape. ...

Marcia Collins - I taught myself how to draw portraits in charcoal about 6 years ago and started out with portraits of my son and his friends. I loved being able to give these one of a kind gifts to my friends and family members and seeing the looks on their faces!! I do commissions of people, pets and homes throughout the year and you can visit my website www.marcicollins.com for more information on ordering a commissioned portrait. I have recently taken lessons in soft pastel and love being able to offer this service as well. Thank you for looking and I would love to hear from you!!...

Anne Merrins - I don't like to talk about Art - I like to paint! Painting is just another way for me to express my appreciation of what I have, and what I see around me. I am in awe of Nature - plain and simple. Of this life, love, the world we inhabit... Afterall there is nothing more imaginative than nature, nothing more vibrant, more ingenious, or more accessible...... ...

Nini Larranaga - I'm Nini and lets talk about art... I can't remember when was the first time art jumped inside me. Maybe when I was still in my mother's womb. All of my sences are related to art. I breath art, that is the air that maintains me alive. I really think that art is inside of every single being, you only have to be perseptive just to know it exists in everything. You can make it happen, just like magic. I always have drawn and paint, but life gave me the stone I stepped through to realize that there were other artists and that I had to study. I did enjoy reading their lives at first, and then study them. The more I knew, the more I feel that I really don't know enough. So... Study, study, study. Never ends. Life to me is a whole study in every way. Trial and error. The thing is to stand up again and doing it better trying to improve yourself. My painting is most of all authobiographical. That is what everyone who knows me say. I have to thank so many people that in one way or the other ...

Jen Pratt - There is a certain type of elegance to nature, and to all living things. It's almost possible to find a meaning to existence, to find God himself, through the things that He has created. Thus my work could be considered an homage, a tribute to the things that I find to be beautiful in this world. I create my sculptures from clay because of the exceptional attributes of this medium. Clay is an inviting, earthy material; it's also quite durable. It's perfectly suited to figurative sculptures because of the wide range of emotion and movement that can be captured. A finished clay sculpture is unique from other sculptures - when you touch the surface, your hand follows a path that was not created by a tool, or by machine, or transferred from another medium; it's the exact paths and grooves that the artist's hands created....

Karin L. Ruoff - Thank you for stopping in to view my work. I hope to capture some sense of my experiences of a lifelong love of horses. I paint them as I see them in my minds eye but intend to convey a deeper part of their affect on my life. Enjoy....
