Artists Describing Their Art:

Lora Vannoord - I am an artist originally from a small town in Michigan, where I started painting oil paintings while preparing for my retirement. I took online classes, found a wonderful art group in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exhibited my original paintings and sold my first oil painting. After retirement I moved to Florida. I started painting right away. The birds and trees that were all new to me. It was wonderful. I soon found more art classes and 3 art groups to join. Soon I had my original oil paintings in almost every gallery and local small businesses I could find that would show art for me and my groups Now I have moved to Frederick MD. A wonderful area of friendly people and lots of art happenings I am setting up my newest little studio to paint more and enjoy the joy of painting I try to communicate my love of nature to help others see and appreciate the natural environment around them. My goal is to give others a calming and imaginative experience in their homes when they contemplate my oil paintings. I enjoy the creative composing of my landscapes using my store of images and my imagination. I combine...

Engelina Zandstra - In the labyrinth of my thoughts there are many roads that are leading to the unknown. many roads are leading to the unknown - around every corner a surprise - fata morganas unprecedented views - paintings designed according to laws of their own. ...

Vladimir Volosov - I was born in 1937 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). My way to art was a lengthy one. Before becoming an artist, I studied for thirty years at the forefront of modern physics as a PhD scientist and professor, author more than 150 scientific articles in contemporary laser physics. Thirty years of strenuous scientific work on the front edge of modern physics gives me a deep feeling for the anxiety and unprotectedness of the world's beauty. The formula, "beauty saves the world" fits my own attitude. My creed is also embodied in the statement: "to have time to realize everything given to you by Nature." At the threshold of my fifties, I decided to live one more life, a new, alluring life of the free artist. I walked away from my established scientific career and completely devoted myself to painting. In 1991 I founded and headed the association "Light, Color and Art" to connect with scientists engaged in the arts. The main directions of my paintings are lyrical realism and abstract compositions. My paintings are about light, color, atmosphere and space. For me, the most important elements are light and color and their juxtaposition/nexus/meeting of...

Geo Kat - Always the QUESTION.What is ART. Maybe THERAPY. Maybe DREAMING. Maybe...casting the PAST. Or better... the FUTURE. Or just to be... PRESENT. I dont know exactly. But I knowat least, which is my inspiration, all the old mastering, the great NATURE. Humanity. Personas very different in space and time, like Praxiteles or Botticelli or Candinsky. .......... Of course we, humans, we are nature, part of nature, part of natures mystery...... May be my well effort as an artist is to explore this MYSTERIOUS and fantastic world, and create an art that is not exist yet, as an INVENTION...............or you can say exists, but is not expressed into EXISTENCE yet. And this art exists as a living person FULL of dreams of colours of happiness, GOOD will and HEALING matter. ___I suppose also that my inspiration is whatever still lives UNDERNEATH this ancient old city, Athens...... What ARE YOU thinking ...

Michael Garr - I have been drawing and painting since Junior High. I enjoy quick art, impressionistic yet realistic, and minimal. There are interesting subjects all around us. My inspirations are architecture, people, light and shadow, the sea and boats, imagination... and the old masters. Get out and enjoy your surroundings. All my works are available as signed and numbered prints. I also do commission works, some examples of which are in the portfolio. I donate all proceeds to charity, and have recently teamed with SAVE THE BAY, a local Rhode Island eco-advocate organization, which receives 30 PER CENT of my proceeds. My opportunities for artistic expression have included drawing on napkins during airplane rides and waiting during my sons music lessons. In 2012 I took up oil painting for the first time, and my mentor is Lorena Pugh of North Kingstown. Ive done both Plein air and studio work in her presence, and am benefitting from the association. We have an informal group who meet and paint in Lorenas studio on Monday nights throughout the indoor season. I will continue to pursue art on a daily basis, and post the finished works here and on facebook for any and all to ...

Joanna Pettit-Almasude - My art work centers on my concern for humans, animals and our planet. I tend to focus on expressive portrayals of the human condition. In many of my previous works, I was especially motivated to describe the challenging position of marginalized peoples in the world. I am currently concentrating on conservation and environmental issues as well as the importance of moving toward eating a whole non-processed plant based diet. I also plan to work on artwork that discusses how we humans need to care for all animals including the human animal and work to sustain our earth that we all depend on. All of these issues tend to be interrelated and merge into one holistic approach to life, not only through mind, body spirit but also through our relationships with and responsibility to the world around us....

Jose Freitascruz - Borneo 2003The tropical rainforest and tales of maritime exploration continue to be reflected in my work. Indeed, travel and displacement condition my work - the many places I have lived in throughout my childhood and those others my chronic wanderlust has led me to since then have always had an impact on the choices and directions I have taken. The knowledge that a new perspective can be acquired over things we believe to be fixed triggers curiosity and fosters a certain degree of unconformity. The need to find and learn new ways to depict whatever it is I wish to depict keeps me on my toes and doesnt allow me to settle with the tools or the style I am already familiar with - I am constantly on the move and my painting is meant to be a record of the path I move along. Perceived from a distance my approach tends to be cyclic, each cycle divided into series. Progression occurs from the outside in AC/a,!aEURoe from the surface to the core, from a certain degree of figuration to abstraction. Upon tackling each new theme I will be struck by the outward aspect of things and charged with a strong desire to ...

Paulo Medina - Para miA, el arte, ha sido como una pequeA+-a barca en donde he cruzado muchas veces el mar. Una barca fragil y pequeA+-a, sin embargo, capaz de cruzar hacia grandes horizontes. La barca ha sido un instrumento util, pero nada mas... For me, art has been like a small boat in which Ive crossed the sea many times. A fragile and small boat, yet capable of sailing towards vast horizons. The boat has been a useful tool, but nothing more...La pintura es poesia silenciosa MaimonidesArtistic experience, as a spectator, and then, more directly, as an artist, has meant for me the possibility of transcending and reaching certain spaces that are intangible, but lived daily. As a creator, to be in front of a blank canvas or a digital image to be manipulated, is to be faced with a challenge that of translating to the language of forms, textures and colors something that has not yet been conceptualized, but that exists somewhere and that I desire to capture, expressing it through those materials and tools at my disposal. It thereby becomes a kind of game, in which time disappears and one enters into communion with the aesthetic experience ...

Denise Dalzell - Painting. Illustration. Expressionism. Pop Art. Modern. Realism and, occasionally, a bit of Abstraction. My current work centers on my consideration of how we respond to each other, the stories that develop between us and around us, and how our collective stories reflect on and influence us individually. How our stories bounce off each other and combine to create new stories. My paintings are illustrations of the scenes that I encounter during my travels abroad and in daily life so, some scenes are more sweeping than others. How do we, as people of differing backgrounds, cultures, and experiences interact with each other Are we different people in a crowd than when alone How do we fit in or stand out where we find ourselves at any given moment, in any given story Stories are everywhere, and thereAC/a,!a,,C/s no predicting what theyAC/a,!a,,C/ll reveal. Body language, movement, color, contrast combine to illustrate my scenes of interaction between people and within environments. The excitement of being a part of something as unifying as a protest, the sense of adventure that comes from starting out with no particular destination, intimate moments with those we love and those we discover in the big events...

Jacqueline Weegels - My whole life I have created art somehow, as do most people one way or another. I grew up with a father who enjoyed painting large theater back drops and making larger than life papermache float creations. Although, I felt inspired by this, it somehow intimidated me and made me want to work small. Now, having raised two children, and influenced and been influenced by them and THEIR art, my work has become ever more eclectic and varied. I am ready for a new phase in my art as, like everyone else, continue to conquer new challenges in life, stay healthy and seek balance. ...

Shoshannah Brombacher - Art makes the world within the artist visible. Classical music, poetry, Jewish and Chassidic stories, traveling, the love for people and memories of eras gone but not forgotten, cities where I lived and worked, like Amsterdam, Berlin, Jerusalem, New York, or visited, like Prague and Sicily, are the main ingredients of my art. My art is like the water of the canals of my native Amsterdam, Rembrandts city, the deeper you look into it, the more you see. A reflection of a reflection of a reflection...look, what you see is not what you see. My art contains texts and letters, lets writing come alive, and reflects my deep connection with the Dutch 17th century Masters, German expressionism, Russian art and medieval miniatures. My art is also a tribute to music and the world of the great Chassidic masters of Eastern Europe. The Kotzker Rebbe listened to a Chassidic storyteller in the street and stated He told what he wanted and I heard what I needed. That is Art. ...

Krisztina Lantos - Krisztina Lantos of Budapest has lived in Italy, Ottawa, Montreal, Munich in Germany, Mississauga and, for the last 22 years in Oakville. She began painting in her late teens in Hungary and painted with a group of young artists for ten years before she came to Canada. For about the last 25 years, she has begun to experiment with her work more by emphasizing, and exaggerating colours and simplifying shapes to help express her ideas and intentions. I see everything so colourfully. I need colours to be strong because that is what expresses me. The things around us are all moving the trees, the bridges, the houses and the rocks are living creatures, not lifeless pictures. They speak to us. The house is a wise old man and the trees are dancing. Over the past decades, her work has been exhibited in various locations, including the Mississauga Central Library, Praxis Gallery in Toronto, with solo shows at the Oakville Town Hall, Julia Restaurant, Glen Abbey Library Gallery and Tuebingen, Germany. ...
