Artists Describing Their Art:
Kathleen Flowers - As a multidisciplinary artist, Flowers' work is currently based on the idea of Design in Nature.

Her paintings and drawing are filled with serene colors, painted with acrylic and other mediums giving them an aesthetic visual affect while appealing to the senses and are created to evoke a visceral effect from within. ...
Angu Walters - Angu Walters interest in painting started when he was a boy experimenting with ink from different pen colors, mixed and applied them on torn cardboards, which were sometimes hung on the walls of his motheraEURtms sitting room. His mother invited Spee, a very famous artist to show him what the child was doing with the materials he could find in his milieu, thereafter the artist took him to his workshop, under his guidance so to better improve on his skills.

Mel Fiorentino - When I create my art I try to incorporate a number of things one being sexuality and eroticism, secondly based on whichever personal experience or mental thoughts I may have I do try to gear the piece as my personal visual diary and then third I like to use abstract and surreal back drops to bring the piece together. The human form is a beautiful and unique art in itself, so I find every contour to be exciting and challenging to paint. I do find that the thing us humans can relate to the most is other human experiences, which gives us a connection to everything and other human emotion. I love to work with surreal and abstract pieces, they are in themselves theraputic and bring a peace to the artwork. -Mel Fiorentino ...

I enjoy the fact that everything is made to be touched, loved and eventually broken after years of use. Working primarily in stoneware using clean, simple glazes on functional pieces of pottery I bring into focus the beauty of everyday kitchen objects. Although the materials guide that first encounter, the form follows suit. I create works that fit in the hand perfectly, with an emphasis on touch and feel, enhancing our simple, everyday moments. We all have different relationships with objects that are handmade versus commercially produced. Handmade objects often have a personalized feel, almost as if to be communicating an emotion. This is a collection of various works that showcases a variety of different techniques and mediums. I bring the philosophy of touch and texture from my ceramic works into my two dimensional works such as ...
