Artists Describing Their Art:

C. A. Hoffman - For me, my artwork is very personal. It reflects a lot about how I am feeling at any given time and place. I feel that art has to be on this personal level to completely capture how the artist is feeling daily, or trying to convey a certain thought or emotion at that particular moment. We all, at one time or another try to express our thoughts or ideas, whether it is to others or just to ourselves, by words, actions, ideas or pictures. If we are sucessful in this attempt, I think it shows through in our everyday work or art. I believe that one is either born to create art naturally or by learning. For me, I feel that I was born with this wonderful gift, and I try to improve upon it every day. In my photos and art, I hope to show how everyday objects and nature can capture our imaginations and feelings. Sometimes I work with an image to improve it, inhance it, or just to fuel the imagination. I truly hope this shows in all of my art. ...

Nancy Bechtol - Artists explore and give the world a view of their personal heightened awareness. I visualize and think with keen beliefs and insights. Reflection of human and societal concerns which cross emotional boundaries-- communicating that which is unspoken. My traditional art foundations of drawing, painting and printmaking, evolved into video, digital photography and experimental media. I use digital photography and imaging to envision the concepts originating from the creative pulse.An individual artist explores and gives the world a view of their personal heightened awareness.

Claudia Nierman - Some words about my work: The images I produce are deliberately enigmatic and multi-layered. They invite the viewer to engage in the process of storytelling whereby dreaming and living are woven together as a tapestry. I find the sources for my work in the urban environment: window displays, torn posters, graffiti, broken architecture. In short, the remains of man. These objects and situations are eventually transformed by rain, sun, reflections, and shadows, as well as additions made by the passerby. Shaped by the forces of chance, these ephemeral visions are captured on film (and now also in bits and bites) and used as raw material that merge one into another forming a new identity. The result? On one hand, a strange amalgam of my preoccupation with time and memory, and on the other, the way in which the deliberate manipulaton through photographic images can give us insight into our personal and collective struggles. Technical information: I usually work in three different formats: 25 cm x 30 cm and 32 cm x 45 cm printed on cibachrome paper; and a large format of 57 cm x 80 cm, digitilizing the final image and printing it on canvas. (Since this latter ...

Teri Ockey - Since I was a child, art has always been a very integral part of my life. My work today derives from a deep appreciation of the beauty of the human form, which began early in my artistic development and continues to be a very powerful creative force. I embrace trying new art forms, styles and techniques, and my artwork is ever evolving. Art Photography, as a means of expression, enables me to create association and unity from distinction and variety. Today as an artist, I use the beauty of the human form as my subject matter, and the soul of humankind as my inspiration. I use selective lighting, deep shadows, and mood-setting colors, combined with the graphical nature of form, or the graceful expression of curve, to create a sensual, aesthetic experience. Whether you participate as a subject in one of my model-oriented custom art designs, you are a collector of art, or you are simply an observer, I invite you, the viewer, to experience a different kind of intimacy your sense of 'self'. We are all connected in this soulful microcosm of life through art. terio...

Corrie Mccluskey - My photography explores themes of "place" (as a repository of memory and symbol, and as a cultural artifact), the passage of time, looking at the forbidden and forgotten. I've searched out sites that touch the deeper emotions - places that are hard to look at, or where those in charge don't want us to see. This is a commitment to finding the "truth" (if there is such a thing) and a reminder of our choices as human beings. My method is to do a kind of street survey, focusing on buildings & industrial warehouses, prisons, train stations, cityscapes, graffiti and architectural details, using ambient light. I study how people have interacted with their environment and how the space can take on a life of its own, often with ghosts in every corner. Many of my images are of settings that people have left behind like empty skins. It seems the world is increasingly a very difficult place to live for so many - perhaps we've entered a new dark age - and I'm needing to focus my attention (and my camera) on social issues, starting right in my own back yard. I've begun a longterm project, "Within a Ten-...

Corrie Mccluskey - Orville Robertson - Street photography possesses a wonderful energy. Passersby and their self-made worlds create dynamic relationships that are continuously changing before and after I have captured a part of this on film. How I photograph these scenes reflects who I am, where I have been, and where I am headed. I love wandering round and seeing all this serendipity....
