Nature Art For Sale

Artists Describing Their Art:

Yeoun Lee - We're all affected by what we see around us, by our experience and also by our moods. My great source of inspiration comes from nature and colors. Through the observation of it, the memory of it, and my imagination of it, nature inspires me. When I look around at the moods and seasons of nature, I feel similarities to the changes in the journey of my life. Our life contains energetic, happy, joyful but also sad, hopeless and fearful moments. When the weather and seasons change, they are like the swing of my feelings, emotions and moods. I express all these changes with different colors which inspire me. I don't paint what I see. I paint what I feel. It's not ordinary landscape. It's imaginary landscape. Each scene calls forth a technique that uniquely fits it. Nature is showing me my life. As I recreate it, I am renewed. I imagine the scene and pick the color I feel like using and start painting. While I paint, I forget unnecessary thoughts and worries and thereby I heal myself. The colors and techniques which make up my own new world depend on my mood and feeling at ...

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 ...

Shin-Hye Park - Martin A Ettlinger - After many years doing graphic design as an art director, IOve returned to painting and photography. The immediacy of acrylic paint, combined with its quick drying are ideal for my style. Being a papermaker enables me to combine materials to achieve my visual goal. In the end, I strive for a lyrical, exciting visual statement...

Jean Yves Lemeur - First I was ingeneer student when came ill with schizophrenia and I had to change.I discovered painting in hospital and my mother liked.So years and years later I felt ok again and started really painting, now for two years. Now I really need to suprise me with new paintings, about two ones a week.Discovering other's work is great too, and I can say writing stories or poems takes a bigger place you imagine to go into paintings sooner or later. So my paintings strangely feed with research of past silent years lost. ...

Joe Kerr - Born and raised on the Canadian prairie where the vision is one of a broad and neverending horizon often splashed with unbelievable sunsets. Photography is an artistic tool that helps me express myself. Thirty years of experimenting through a lens, then developing the results, have exposed me to many new ideas. In 1997 I embraced the digital age. Uniting photography and computer technology opened a new world of visions. I bring to you, through this web gallery, my new horizons of images. Most have been captured with Nikon equipment using a selection of lenses and a network of digital processing power. All my CSCS images are original digitally painted stories of light, texture, color, contrast and content. I hope you'll enjoy your visit. Joe Kerr...

Michele Niels - The purpose of this portfolio was to introduce myself as a dance exercise technical basis teacher. Over the years,after my carcrash,I have developed a one of the kind dance program,emphasing specific breathing method,involving body energies,suitable to every one:new mind against the old one. Did I loose my time?NO!Studing medecine:drawing outside and inside of the human body led me to the painting. Did I change something?NO!Always flexible,I dragged these body energies(universal) to the painting:same consciousness,more improved!How I manage my paintings?Starting from an object,I go on,in osmosis with my muse, my deep self consciousness,surely not remaining on surface!Surprised of the result!During the work we are silently in a second phase:each painting drags a step upper,always in the deep consciousness! Staying on surface conducts to the failure. What I paint is a kind of puzzle.In this deep consciousness every thing is linked,not separated: thus new way to work in all scopes....

Barry Scharf - My professional career began in 1973 when I earned my MFA. In my early works I felt my paintings where an illusion and only seemed to partially fulfill my desire for a more complete expression. Now my works explore the interplay of transitional reality and abstract concepts in oil on canvas and digital photography. It is provocative to me to express myself through physical, intellectual, and spiritual endeavors . My art offers me the forum for this expression. The viscosity of paint gives scale, while it's liquid flow carries the emotions of a poetic heart. The formation of shapes into composition express a thoughtful logic and the unity of all elements breaths life into the spirit of the work. In addition explored shapes and content fits with my digital images. Pursuit of excellence in design, craftsmanship and expression are my artistic goals. To create images that provoke thought and communicate our connection with nature, spirit, self and each other. ...

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. ...

Bernhard Luettmer - The project is to create the image with a short composition as I wanted at times I took in here. Timing and movements of the camera or the machinery are important resources. Photography is listen to the world as we hear a beloved piece of music. For example: I see a tree just in vegetation, the wind gentle caresses the new leaves, the light shines and you hear all this on the skin. Now take a picture with the knowledge that this concentration and on the negative is something of the feeling....

Cheryl Johnson - Art and imagination have always gone hand in hand with me from childhood. Repetitive marks suggesting texture,circular mandala images and brilliant colors combine in many of my drawings. I call upon the child-core of my earliest years to begin the creations, keeping in mind that the humor of my now adult perspective tempers but does not inhibit all my visuals. My art is my dreams made visual....

Lynette Seiter - The world is full of beautiful sunsets, quiet lakes, majestic mountains, nostalgic streets and interesting people. I love the beauty of nature, the excitement of a city street and the diversity of people. I like to paint the world as it really is. Idealistic painting is pretty but I find beauty in things as they really are: a rock formations with it's cracks and crags, an exposed tree root as it twists in and out of itself. Even man made things are beautiful: buildings, streets, bridges. I love the shape and color of buttons. Flowers and fruit offer a whole array of shapes and colors that dazzle the eye just as they are. I would like to share a little bit of it with others. I would hope that a beautiful or interesting scene will uplift and inspire someone to live better, smile more often and treat our world and other people with care and respect. I would love to share with others what God has so freely given to me. It is my hope that my artwork will bring peace and joy to those who see it and that each will enjoy and be grateful for the beautiful ...
