Usha Kolpe - Statement of Artist Usha Kolpe An individual artist explores and gives the world a view of their personal heightened awareness. I visualize and think with keen beliefs and insights. Thought process which is highly private, subjective, unfiltered are revealed through expression and an attempt made to reveal in canvas. My art is mainly inspired by nature and my surroundings. Nature is emotionally restorative to me. It gives a sense of renewal that paves the way for my self-reflections within me and outside surroundings, for my personal growth, and spiritual evolution.

Bryan Kemila - Artist Statement Bryan Kemila ------------------------------ PENDING ------------- BIOGRAPHY Bio - Bryan Kemila - Oil painter - Vegetable gardener - Guitarist, drummer, early 60s band singer - Critical observer of current events, aka sifting for truth droppings in the litter box of propaganda. - And oh, yes, maintaining my flock of a dozen silly chickens. Nothing on the planet is quite so compelling as the woman. Re-creating the essence of feminine beauty brings me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Hundreds of happy practice hours have explored various artistic techniques and effects. I was born in the small prairie town of Dinsmore, Saskatchewan, in the middle of Canada. Winters of minus 40 F made morning farm chores potentially lethal for a little guy of five, hauling heavy water buckets for the cows. The sloshing water on my pant-legs quickly froze, as did I. Im proud to say I have merely a grade 10 education. Most knowledge useful to me over the years has accrued because I am self-taught. Being a curious and determined chap, and motivated by bills to pay, Ive learned a number of skills. The list includes small engine repair, electrical wiring, construction, furniture building, commercial painting, sign painting, commercial graphics, logo design, bookkeeping and small ...

Marsha Bowers - Marsha Bowers was born and raised in the Central Valley of California. She is a classically trained fine artist, skilled in the old Masters techniques of Flemish/Bistre and Venetian method using a grisaille underpainting and glazing with many layers. Most of her fine art paintings are rendered in oil. She sometimes applies real gold leaf into the artworks. Marsha finds inspiration in the old masters of the past. She spends many hours visiting Museums studying their work. Gothic and Renaissance are her favorite periods along with the Pre-Raphaelites artists. The artist loves the blending of the classical painting techniques with a more contemporary approach to her paintings. Her recent fine art paintings are of women, both figurative and portraiture. The inspiration for her paintings comes from her observations of life itself and through her own experiences. Each painting shares a message, story or emotion. Its what the artist herself describes as a "flowing" of the spirit, a creative process through which the artist paints a story unto the canvas, realizing that each viewer of her work may have their own interpretation of what the art is conveying. Most recently Marsha was invited to be included into the International ...

David Larkins - Ii?1/2ve always been intrigued by the luminosity and transparencies found in watercolor, Oil and acrylic mediums. I believe an artist must experience the painting i?1/2 to absorb the surroundings, the atmosphere, to have a oneness with the subject matter before the first brush stroke is applied. My style is described as i?1/2Abstract Realismi?1/2 and my strength is found in the composition. Ii?1/2m drawn to diverse subject matter that challenges the viewer to see abstraction in the ordinary i?1/2 to meld the i?1/2reali?1/2 world with the i?1/2abstracti?1/2. ...

Terri Higgins - The deep ache that replaced the pleasure you used to have, the words someone said that you keep turning over and over in your head, the void inside that nothing seems to fill; these are some of the subjects I paint about. Location: Washington, DC Check out my website and blog:

Terri Higgins - Manuela Facchin Varalda - Why painting? For the desire of a deep knowledge of things. Painting, for me, is not only communication, but almost an additional sense, a further perception of world, of the real and of the imaginary, of the material and of the dream, of the objective and of the individual. Painting is for me the place of the revelation, of the primary reflection. As a self taught artist, I have been painting and drawing since I can remember - this is a part of me. I have discovered that Art Wanted is the opportunity to share this part with somebody else, from all over the world, trying to understand, to give a sense to our imagination and needs. Manuela...
