Artists Describing Their Art:
Monica Malbeck - I was born and raised in Romania, attending art school there. I graduated in 1974 from a highly successful art pilot program at age 18. Where I was offered exposure to all facets of art from visual communications to industrial design. This was followed by a successful career in fashion design with clients throughout Europe, U.S., and Japan. In 1990 I moved to the United States, and in 1996 I was introduced to digital media falling in love instantly with its versatility. I have been exploring digital design since then, trying to mix digital color and the illusions of texture and shape to capture fleeting, momentary thoughts and my feelings. My style varies depending on the subject being captured, as I always try to let the subject dictate the style rather than try to impose a repetitive style format. I have retired to Hawaii very early from a career as a fashion consultant, and decided to focus on art. My very first submission of my artwork to an international competition in Italy, was chosen among the finalists. I am a self-taught digital artist, and I like to explore a broad range of subjects.

Hisham Zreiq - My art is a private perspective on life, private pains and disappointments, society, Death and a philosophical look at life. Death is the source for creation and the motor of life. Crucifixion a symbol for pain, pain caused by social, political and religious systems. I think that art is another way to communicate, to express my ideas , for me art should have a message of a sort. This is the way I saw art when I was a little boy trying to express his Ideas with simple drawings, and this is the way I see art when working on my digital art or writing poetry today. Some times I ask myself, if we can reach people through "reason"! but I think its better to get to people's hearts through emotions, through ART, and from there we might get to their reason. Or maybe use extremes in art - and that is what I usually try - in order to make people think and ponder after their emotions become tens. Then their analyses might bring with it reasoning. ...
Audri Phillips - The paintings are done slowly, thought and dreamed about until the images seem correct to me. I apply layers of thin glazes and pay attention to the way thin paint runs and drips. This combination of chance and control hopefully leads to a better painting than I alone am capable of painting....
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. ...
