Mikhail Fomiryakov - Hello! I represent works of my father Georgiy Fomiryakov. He is a well-known artist in Russia with a unique style of painting. He took part in many art exhibitions in Russia since 1982 up until present time. Some of his works are currently in National Art Museum (Cheboksary, Russia), Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Moscow, Russia) and in private collections in Europe, India, United Arab Emirates. He recieved quite a lot of attention in his own country, now I want to show my father's talent to the rest of the world. Enjoy!...

Christopher Hughes - After leaving Swansea University, I joined the famous Royal Worcester Porcelain Company as a ceramic artist. After my apprenticeship, I painted their most prestigious vases and plaques. I was mentored and trained by the legendary Worcester artist, Jack Freeman. I left in 1980 to pursue a freelance career. I have sold my Handpainted china, watercolours, oils and signed prints, throughout the world for over 40 years. It has been a rollercoaster ride, but an amazing way to earn a living. We have travelled extensively, painting and teaching in the UK and Europe. We had an amazing house built on the incredible Greek island of Alonissos., where I first took painting holidays in 1985. In an ancient olive grove overlooking the Aegean, we created a wonderful garden with an outdoor studio. I taught watercolour painting from the island , as well as mainland Greece and Italy. With grandchildren arriving, we sold our Greek house and settled back near Worcester, in Upton upon Severn and the Malvern Hills. I paint in my new garden studio, fire my porcelain and display all my work. Our garden here has olive trees, oleander ,geraniums and lots of old Greek terracotta pots aEUR|.. just to make us feel ...

Skip Bleecker - Art Forms Most of my work consists of wheel thrown porcelain forms based on organic patterns of microscopic and macroscopic organisms. Some are based on seed pods, teeth, pollen, sea animals, squash, and even watermelon, but as the development proceeds, they merge and take on new forms of possible and imaginary organisms. All are hand made, one of a kind pieces, usually done in a series, so there might be some similarity among some pieces, but no two are ever exactly alike. Seed Pods For most of my life, I have been both attracted to and very allergic to, large numbers of trees, grasses, and bushes. I have refused to become trapped indoors just because of these allergies, and as I began to develop my own sculptural forms, I examined both macroscopic and microscopic forms in nature. By examining the form and structure of seeds and other natural objects, I found great beauty in these simple forms, and developed simple organic sculptural designs, based on slightly abstract versions of these natural objects. ...

Amanda Coakley - As an atheist I have always looked at religion from the position of an observer rather than a practitioner. When I was younger, I grew up in a predominantly religious area and had felt out of place. My friends would try to get me to join bible school, received sideways looks for purchasing the newest fantasy book series, and needless to say I didnt know the words to prayers when I joined summer camp. My family was mostly atheist and growing up, I didnt know much else. The push towards religion was something I didnt understand as a child. However despite my experiences with religion, my hope is to not denigrate religion but draw light upon the chaos of consumption. Advertisements and the rush to Black Friday events at malls feel similar to me. I havent felt the need to run out and buy the latest I-phone or I-pod, or the latest in fashion trends. Nor have I wanted to find myself in large crowds of people waiting outside malls to get a plethora of stuff at fraction of the cost. Aside from the occasional indulgence into a few well loved book series, I didnt feel like I ...
