Artists Describing Their Art:

Janice Young - I work in multiple mediums. When I get an idea, I think, how can I express this visually. Sometimes the medium is the inspiration. I reuse materials from demolition, use leftovers from construction, gather raw materials from nature, and experiment with commercially produced materials. I have a drive to create. I would like what I create to provoke thought as to the beauty and importance of all life and the effect our massive appetites have on that life. ...

Laurie Ihlenfield - As an artist I find fascination in even the most ordinary things. I enjoy studying the complexity that light can lend to a grouping of objects. Dappled light shining through the back of leaves, or illuminating a group of reflective objects, or creating shadows in the bark of a tree creates complex patterns. The addition of light evokes mood. I am interested in portraying mood through close up views of objects and scenes. I sometimes am interested in inferring deeper meaning. At other times, I prefer to let the image speak for itself. It is my hope the viewer will find in my painting the feeling the original image stirred in me. ...

Mary-Ellen Campbell - Artist Statement I am very interested in the aspect of our aging society and its accompanying issues of loss of earlier strengths, health and death itself. I believe art can convey something special about this later period that has a beauty and a sadness not accessible in the youthful era of life. As a result, my latest artwork and Book Art investigates obsolescence and aging. I have started to write poetry and incorporate my poems in my books thus intertwining the visual and verbal arts. It is in this format that I bring my previous experiences together. I have continued to develop books that travel on both a physical and metaphysical journey. These themes are explored through personal history, aspects of aging, meanings across cultures and places, and concepts of nature. I make books with few and simple materials. I love to travel and produce portable art relating to my travel experiences and my observation of my themes in other places. ...

Ellen E Hinson - My love of nature and the world we live in is demonstrated by the works of art that I paint. I use oils and watercolor and also love photography.

Shin-Hye Park - Park, Shin-Hye Born in Daegu, Korea Master of Fine Arts, Graduate School of Hong-lk Univ., Seoul, Korea Freie Kunst, Gesamthochschule Kassel, Univ., des Landes Hessen, Germany Present Lecturer at Hankyong National Univ., Korea An Attempt to Perceive:Nature, Life and Humanity An Artistic expression is for me an act of confirming what I have perceived, namely what I have to know while seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling endlessly in the midst of daily life. What is especially important in my work is how I have progressed to know nature. Nature is a starting point of understanding about life, humanity, and somthing called living as one experiances. It is also a place for an empirical, not ideological, understanding of God. Equilibrium is a divine state. Thus, God must have created the universe in his attributes. Now we conceive equilibrium as broken and are feeling a pain from the wound. Then an artistic act is, at least for me, a reflection upon such a reality and embodies a meaning for healing. prolog I feel a deep compassion for Ahnsan, which is suffering from a serious pathological symptom called !(r)development,!- and in turn often affirm in my mind that I will ...
