Artists Describing Their Art:

Lora Vannoord - I am a Florida Artist originally from a small town in Michigan, now painting in Florida. My works are original oil paintings inspired by Mother Nature. I want 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 my sketchbook images and photos to form my imaginary landscape. I then feel excited and fulfilled when my work goes well. Even as a child my happiest times were when I was creating art or attending art activities and museums. I am a member of the Tarpon Springs Art Association, the Palm Harbor Art Club, the Creative Artists Guild, Artists of the Adirondacks, Strand Center for the Arts and the NOAPS. I have been chosen to show my original oil paintings in many of their juried exhibits. I have had solo exhibits in Grand Rapids MI, Dunedin FL, Oldsmar FL and Tarpon Springs FL.. I have shown oil paintings in group exhibits in Clearwater FL, Crystal Beach...

Lora Vannoord - Russell Saunders - My influences are diverse. I love all forms of expressionism through art. I have learned that life is a constant changing force and I try to illustrate that through my art. ItaEURtms one of the reasons that abstract is my favorite art form. I have always been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the moment. Life itself is a wonderful piece of abstract art, its beauty and message are different for each viewer. Dependent on what lens is chosen, it can change each time it is viewed. That is the beauty of life, art, and creativity. Constant flow and energy creating a different journey for every participant. In abstract art and life, you can look for hidden meaning and deep thought-provoking messages, or simply bask in the color and movement. The choice is always there for the viewer to make. I absolutely love that about art When I paint, as clichA(c) as it sounds, I let the piece decide what it will become. At times I may have a definite vision of what I want to paint but I am never afraid to change course if the piece is disagreeable. I love it when I hear people discussing ...

Alpha Shanahan - My adventure into painting began when I was in my early 30s. I have been raised in a home where handmade things are everywhere and music was just another language I grew up in. So unsurprisingly, when I reached a stage in my life where I needed some new form of expression, I turned to art. Always an independent learner, I did not see the need to get another degree I already finished a degree in Psychology. I just poured all my attention into drawing and painting. Two decades of painting almost everyday is something I would never exchange for a 4-year Fine Arts degree. I was clear with what kind of artist I wanted to become, and I sifted through what I could get to hone the skills and grow as a painter. I love painting portraits, although I have expanded the range of my subjects through the years. Now, it is not so much the subject I paint which excites me, but the love of painting itself which sustains me in my work. My awareness of my surrounding has been heightened to a certain level, always seeing something beautiful to paint, even in the most ordinary everyday ...

Ruslan Khais - For the last four years the landscape has been predominant subject in my art. Shimmer of sun light, coming trough the leaves and its ever-changing reflections in the water become the subject of my paintings. I am searching for pastoral images that have some sort of resonance rather than meaning. My fascination with light has started as an attempt to rethink the legacy of Pointillism, which in our time of the digital media and pixilation, has found a new frame of reference. Emphasizing the well organized chaos of colorful dots, stripes, seemingly mechanical brush marks and alluding to some aspects of digital photography, is resulting the paintings with soft focus were the border between realistic image and abstraction are blurred. The way I wont the painting to come out is more the way of trying to depict an image what is not about reality, but one that is some how in between the actuality of a scene and something that is in your head ...

Randy Sprout - I grew up in a small town in Northern Iowa, played football, coached the swimming team, and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in printmaking studying under Mauricio Lasansky. I then went into the Army and ended up pulling 13 months in Korea on the DMZ. Coming out of Korea I entered UCLA and earned a MA and MFA in printmaking while studying under Jan Stussy and Stanton Mac-Donald Wright. The next year after the funds dried up on my Fulbright Award to Portugal, because of the Angola War, I was lucky to get hired by USC where I taught printmaking as a junior faculty member. I also replaced professors at UCLA when they went on sabaticals, and taught one year at Pierce College. In 1977 I tried Real Estate, you know just for the summer, but by fall I had purchased Century 21 Hollywood Inc. and had a new vocation going. Now 31 years into real estate, I'm coming full circle and starting to paint little quick studies 9X12. I'm using just 1/2 inch brushes and 5 colors. I intentionally limit my time to 2 hours after which I stop and throw ...

Marinescu Cosmin - Aldous Huxley said that aEURoeexperience itaEURtms not what happens to you aEUR" itaEURtms how you interpret what happens to youaEUR. We are rushing through our lives with needs of fulfilment and forget the basic needs of the soul. Every single experience with people or spaces and their surroundings can give us an idea about the purpose of our lives as role plays. In a desire of changing the mentality of people I discovered different methods to have them knowing the importance of each individual. We are under the influence of mass media and we forgot that we are able to choose the life we like, being responsible for our actions at the same time. Each person has the option to have a dream and to follow it and not to try to copy other personsaEURtm lives and dreams. In a society in which we are fed with all kind of information, our status must be online aEUR" otherwise we are not existing. By that we try to find ourselves creating different representations of our personalities and realities. The illusion of a aEURoeperfectaEUR life comes to us in different forms and doesnaEURtmt allow us to discover our true beliefs and ...

Vasile Ghiuta - My artistic credo is simple. God gave unexpected things you can see or feel palpable. At the same time, God has given us things we cannot see: emotions, feelings and experiences. In my works, I have tried and still try to give a visual expression of those emotions, feelings and experiences. The selection of colors and techniques are means to try to get this. I want from those who look at my work to have a reaction aEUR" to trigger a feeling. He/she may have a feeling of pleasure or disgust, irritation or joy. Every sentiment triggered by watching my paintings is a success. From my point of view, the worst thing what could happen is no reaction from the viewer. Life is an amazing journey meant to be exciting, interesting and challenging. From the beginning to the end, each step we make is actually a move forward in our endeavor to discover the world and its fantastic, abundant, yet intriguing secrets/gifts. Step by step, from childhood to the age of wisdom, we also learn day by day about ourselves and about other individuals, as well. Self-discovery is perhaps one of the greatest lessons each of us tries ...
