Artists Describing Their Art:

Jonathan O'Hora - I am a professional visual artist based in Nottingham where I have been living since 2016. My work primarily focuses on nature, the environment and the human condition. Visually my work is conscious of fine art printmaking using often abandoned techniques as a way of asking the viewer to look closer. Recently, I have found using multiple exposures as a way of enhancing the single image, creating movement and encouraging the viewer to look in different ways. Having gained a Masters degree from St Martins College in 2003 I worked for Kodak until they went bankrupt in 2013. Since then I have travelled the world before starting my career as an artist in 2017....

Emilio Merlina - I was born in 1950 in the North East of Italy from a polish mother and a sicilian father. I toured the world until I was 35, then I returned to Italy and picked up again my old passion painting and sculpture. As for myself, I can only say thoughts and paintings, paintings and thoughts. Everything maybe useless, however everything is life. i?1/2The human being leaves its signs, graffiti, indian dreams and imagination.

Jon Glaser - There is something fulfilling about capturing a moment in time particularly as the sun makes its first or last appearance. My photographic work reflects an affinity for movement and sound; the latter reminiscent of a song, starting calmly, building strength, power and energy, until the shutter releases and the image is recorded as the ultimate crescendo. While I am most drawn to the grand landscape, my portfolio includes macro still life and abstract work as well, showcasing a relationship between color and light. NOTE: All of my photographs have been processed with Photoshop and Lightroom withlittle manipulation or adjustment. All colors are true of their location. In addition, I print all images using the latest technology, the highest-quality papers, and newest archival inks. All photographs include a 5mm white border to ensure proper handling that helps eliminate the potential for fingerprints. ...
