Artists Describing Their Art:

Claudia Beldent - "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with quality" Born in Paris, France, Claudia Beldent grew up in a highly artistic and business oriented environment surrounded by painters, award-winning designers, as well as three generations of French Chefs. She emigrated to Montreal, Canada in the 60's, had an education focused on Language and Arts, studied in Business Administration leading her to join the family furniture manufacture and interior design company. Relocated in Miami and energized by its "shining tropical colors", Claudia took two years of extensive courses in ceramic technique before embarking on an artistic career in the mid 90's. Influenced by French masters such as Picasso, Matisse and Leger, she began to paint on "clay canvases". Her ceramics, vibrant in colors, animated in themes and intricate in details, are the result of the challenge of mastering ceramic painting with the complex skill of firing ceramics. The shape of a vase, the depth of a fired paint, the feeling and shine of a glaze are the reasons that moved the artist towards the ceramic world to channel her love for Art. Her expertise and constant drive for new venture...

Angela Jenks - At one time or another we have each used the phrase aEURoebutterflies in my stomachaEUR. Anxiety disorders are a very common experience however, unlike physical objects, they cannot be held in your hands. Using butterflies as a metaphor, this series of works creates a visual representation of this emotion. Through a variety of mediums, from resin and plaster to digital painting and motion graphics, I create a dichotomy between objects. The solid, heavy and visually weighted forms speak to strength in contrast to the semi-transparent fragile surfaces that can be easily destroyed. I intend for the repetition of form, the surfaces suffocated by butterflies, and the progressive thinning out of elements to symbolize a personaEURtms journey to improvement. And although I use light in my work to send a positive message, I invite viewers to question their own mental health and experience something like the nervousness and fear associated with this disorder....

Iva Kalikow - My first love was interior design, which I studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I went on to study drawing and color at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. There are many design elements that come into play when creating an interior environment. Glass and light are my tools for enhancing the beauty of a structure as well as the ambience of a room. I create one-of-a-kind custom designed leaded stained glass art panels that can be incorporated in interior structures such as doors and windows or displayed hanging as framed works of art. For my latest collection, Ive combined my love of color and glass with my appreciation of master artists and found inspiration from the master works of Picasso, Van Gogh, Modigliani, OKeeffe, Cezanne and Matisse. My glass art panels grace homes in New York City, Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Knoxville, Scottsdale and The Berkshires in Massachusetts. ...

Sheri Smith - For the past fifteen years, I have worked on my Capturing Culture series, a body of works on paper, drawn from the audience of live music performances. Sketched in Caran dAche crayon on suede board or with a sharp implement into scratch-board. The pieces portray the performers and often their instruments and parts of the venue. Though ultimately a visual record, the work emerges from a ritualistic creative process which serves to address my feelings about time, creative skill, and visual imagery. The fleeting nature of these performances is central to the work. It is often hard not to see the passing of time as an enemy, but in the case of my work the opposite is true. The impending end of a song, set, or evening offers a sense of freedom, allowing me to work quickly. This rapid pace also dictates my choice of materials. Caran dAche crayons or scratch-boards function best when used quickly and confidently. A darkened venue limits my color palette on the suede board to just what I can see. Additionally, a confined seating space constrains the size of my boards and therefore the number of details I can include. Performances and process ...
