Artists Describing Their Art:

Terrance Depietro - "Life is not lessoned in artists and prophets, but is enhanced. They are our guides into the Lost Paradise, which only becomes Paradise through being found again. It is not the old, mindless unity that the artist strives for, but a felt reunion; not empty unity, but full unity; not the oneness of indifference, but the oneness attained through differentiation. All life is a loss of balance and a struggling back into balance. We find this return home in religion and art." - Joel, Karl (Seele und Welt) 1912 As we look back on more than one hundred years of "Modern Art, we become aware of the changes in the historical perspective that it flowed on. A revolution of changes to the culture that have heightened it, lowered it, twisted it and manipulated it. Through all our technical advances how much of ourselves have we forgotten? Through my activity of "Painting", I attempt to step aside from the rigors of our complex style of existence and find again a more simple solution to the time spent in life. I do not try to "escape" our time and reality but I do attempt to "mark" its struggle to maintain, if only imaginary...

Juergen W.d. Stieler - Born 1955 in the town of the pied piper in Lower Saxony, Germany. I left my home town when I was 21 and live in Flensburg, the most northern German city, next to the Danish border. Drawing, painting and printmaking are the techniques I work in. Recently I experimented upon "collecting traces" and converted them in prints to achieve authentic references of everyday occurrences or remarkable events, e.g. the Buncefield oil depot desaster in England Nov 2005....

His current series incorporates recycled industrial forms with organic objects taken from nature. The pieces...

Laurel Siwicki - People often ask artists "what inspires you?"and " how do come up with your ideas?" These questions preface that art is premeditated, that it is completely thought out before a drop of paint hits the canvas. The works I create are not thought out they just start and go through many metamorphoses before for they are complete. My works are the part of me that denotes the significance of the natural world that surrounds us and how it is an innate part of who I am in relation to the world. I use a lot of naturalistic symbols in my pieces, I like to portray movement in space to reflect the passage of time and to recognize the effects that just one moment has on us. Often birds are my vehicle for expressing my intrigue into the natural world and time, they represent freedom from the physical restrictions of earth-bound life; the ability to be an observer from a larger perspective, to fly, to escape, and to travel without boundaries or attachments. While a specific meaning may develop about a piece of work during the creation process, I never seal a piece into an obvious boundary and this allows ...

Ami Freeman - I feel I have been an artist since birth but only started to explore this realm a few years ago. I never believed anything would come of it but since then I don't hold on to many pieces long before they are sold. I try not to take my artwork too seriously, instead I try to just enjoy doing it and pour as much of myself into it as possible. When I am painting I often let the painting paint itself. Sometimes I have some kind of idea but I don't know how it will turn out. My passion drives me and at many times I cry when I paint. People ask me to do commission pieces most of the time. I enjoy that very much. As long as I have a basic idea and room to express myself I do very well. I also keep in touch with my clients and let them know what is happening with there piece. My goal as an artist is to just grow and evolve and make people happy with my artwork. Ami M. Freeman...

M Or B Allison - Michael B. Allison: Mike's first painting was the black cow at night which won him no accolades at Municipal Elementary School in Roy, Utah. His first sculpture -- a witch in a hat later became an ice cream cone yet some how out of theme for Thanksgiving. Mike has lived most of his life out of step with the theme and has found a home in Abstract Expressionism. Kline, Motherwell, Kandinsky and Pollock provide inspiration. Mike has said that he works best when the painting speaks for itself and inspires him, rather than approaching the canvas with a firm idea of an image or theme. Bon Allison: We're still trying to figure out Bon. Additional info and pieces can be viewed at www.burningeaglebooks.com in the Art section, or inquire via sales at burningeaglebooks d0tcom...

Berit Nelson - My art reflects me; my ideas, my thoughts and my innermost struggles. As I go forth in life, I find inspiration everywhere.....in people, in places, in objects, but mostly in myself. What begins as an idea eventually grows into art, however I have discovered over the years that it is the process of getting there that I enjoy the most! My photography on the other hand, is another story. I enjoy taking pictures immensely and I have a good eye for it, and my real inspiration comes from that and that alone. I like seeing the final prints and remembering the journey I got to go on to get them! Sometimes the journey takes me far from home and other times I barely get out of the door but no matter where I end up, I usually find something beautiful to take a picture of!...

Hilary Pollock - When contemplating creativity, I admit to being impressed by the draftsmanship of Gustav Klimt,the audacity and creativity of Picasso and the fortitude of Artemisia Gentileschi and many other female artists. The "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestries in Paris move me greatly for their colour and their detail in particular. I have my own style and language which has developed over the years from experimentation with a variety of mediums and different approaches to my subject matter. Some things become favourites, contributing to a personal language and the sheer pleasure of creating. The process is the important thing. Creativity for the visual artist is all about struggle,excitement and energy....
