Artists Describing Their Art:

I. Joseph - Mark Charles Fox - Photography has often had an identity problem. Over its nearly 200 years, it has won sometimes grudging and other times enthusiastic cultural acceptance. Today, everyone is a photographer. In my view, what I am is an image manipulator. Image manipulating is a daily yoga, I do it for the intrinsically meditative state it induces. In college, oops too late, at the end of my thesis preparation I realized what I should have been doing all along, studying iconography, how we might share wonder and convey the ineffable. This is part of my motivation and a hoped-for result of these externalized meditations. During the past decade or more, IaEURtmve engaged in image manipulating in a dedicated way and have created thousands of them. Each one starts with a photo I have taken and IaEURtmll begin to imagine transforming its shapes and colors. There are just a few rules for instance, never cut and paste, nor combine source images into one, work with one at a time. My preferences extend to the most spaced-out looking images, but I also do ones that might be called aEURoecontemporarily traditionalaEUR. Earlier on, it was all about experimentation, working an image until ...

Robert Reinhardt - Artist Statement My camera lens explores the inspiring and sensitive interconnections between the temporal elements of time and history and their relationship to the changing environment. Several photographic software programs are employed to recreate the original landscape photograph to manipulate the original design of these images. It is the careful observer that begins to discover the delicate objects and surfaces that lie hidden amidst the many layers of images all packaged into one final piece. My intention is to subject the original images to the ravages of time. The rich patinas and the weather worn surfaces magnetically draw me in as I return each image. The images that I chose to include document a specific theme of aEURoeEnd of DaysaEUR. The newly constructed images bring to life a strength that lives on in these landscapes. They seem almost indifferent to the elements that continue to wear at their surfaces and challenge their structural integrity. At the same time, nature is painting an entirely new palette in which they will exist. It is the collision and contrast of that ongoing confrontation that draws me into these landscapes.

Hisayo Ohta - I am always fascinated by the colors and the magic of silk painting. When I first met this technique, it stimulated my creativity and painting became the part of my life with a great passion. I love the process of coloring on silk, which is very exciting and needs the improvisation each time. I appreciate this great gift which gave me the eyes to see the beauty of the world. I hope you enjoy my artwork. ...

Nancy Wood - I received B.A. and MFA degrees in Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles and a Ph.D. degree in Educational Psychology from Texas A & M University, College Station. Trained in oil painting, sculpture, printmaking, and photography I've spent the last 15 years working with digital media. My artworks have been exhibited locally, nationally and internationally, received some awards and are included in private and corporate collections. I've taught art on the college level for 20 years. My current work is a synthesis of photography and digital painting, an artistic process that explores issues of formalism using the aesthetics of the Texas Hill Country. The resulting images invite the viewer to engage intimately with a dynamic moment in the environmental milieu. More of my work can be seen on my website:
