Artists Describing Their Art:

Daniele Lemieux - My work is a celebration of humanity as represented by the universally familiar. I seek to instill the commonplace with the same reverence given by 17th century masters to objects denoting wealth and social position. As an antidote to modern day excessiveness, my deliberate choice and treatment of objects is an invitation to revisit the quiet dignity and poetry of the basic form. Objects become icons; valued for usefulness, not decoration; acquired through need, not through want. Stripped of artifice, they are symbolic of the desire to return to that which is true. My compositions are often loosely based on the classic triangle and are centered in the picture plane. This combination allows for a calm balance that can border on the spiritual. My artist's eye edits out the superfluous, seeking harmony and peace, offering the viewer a place where order replaces chaos.contemplation leads to an affirmation of self-worth. "The profoundest order is revealed in what is most casual." (Fairfield Porter) ...

Loretta Nash - I love to create things. I got into being an artist because it allowed me to let my imagination flourish with out judgment. I like the encouragement and the satisfaction that I did something with my own hands. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Art in 1992. My themes of my works go everywhere. Everything inspires me. For example just recently a hand dryer blowing on my skin gave me an idea. I run with the ideas or I just let them die. The pencil/pen has always been my tools of choice because they were easy to sneak to paying jobs with the sketch book to do during downtime and breaks. The paint brush is just an extension on the pencil/ink. Since 1999, I upload design pieces onto various art production retail sites. (i.e. www.redbubble.com/lorgh, www.loretta-nash.fineartamerica.com, www.zazzle.com/lorettanash, www. artwanted.com/lorgh, www.flickr.com/lorgh, www.lorettanash.co.cc, etc.) Since October 2010, I created caricatures at local events and of private citizens. I have not stopped creating. ...

Pat Heydlauff - I discovered my love for painting in 1993 as I was transitioning out of a stress filled career and exploring my creative side. As a colorist, I painted lively, vibrant mainstream artwork consisting of landscapes, florals and still-lifes. Through painting I noticed my life was becoming balanced, and filled with harmony instead of stress. Painting allowed me to discover my spiritual nature and peace within and lead me to paint in a stream of consciousness flowing with energy. This flow of consciousness energy is visible in my recent "art with a message" canvas work where you can always find hope, peace and joy in the subject matter and every brush stroke. Painting is the physical manifestation of my spiritual being. It is the flow of energy through paint onto a two dimensional canvas projecting three dimensional energy. I endeavor to convey a vital energy through sight with color and design. My inspirational and mainstream artwork can be placed in areas of the home and office to create an environment with balance, harmony and a flow of energy which enriches the viewer. I believe that in our world today with cement cities, sound pollution and isolated environments, it is difficult ...
