Artists Describing Their Art:

Nora Cervino - Intuition, plays an important role in my creative process. My paintings, mosaics, drawings and photographs are direct representations of a journey that begins as a meditative process. Without a predetermined plan, the forms, colors, lines and themes in my imagery are developed.

It would not be unreasonable to suggest that any meaning or concept comes second, the quality of the actually work is what is paramount. My artworks are often about contact with architecture and basic living elements and directly responds to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences. ...
