Artists Describing Their Art:

Karen Wassmer - Whispering Angels(r) Art Studio by: Karen J. Wassmer These wall relief angel sculptures are comiled from old china and kitchen wares. China plates serve as a body or sometimes a halo for the head which has either a hand painted shell or wood carvedface. Forks, spoons, and various utensils represent arms and legs. All of these objects that the sculpture is created out of are from found objects, recycled materials and hand crafted carvings, paintings and metal work. Old, vintage textiles are used for additional accessories. Formally a Land Surveyor I learned through researching property deeds where old homesteads used to dump their glass and metal, and for years I collected these and in conjunction with other discarded glassware, metal and wood I found Whispering Angels were born. Without any formal art education my work is inspired from my own experiences. What I hope my art work brings to the viewer is a smile, a bit of wonderment, and joy. Each sculpture is unique as the hearts and emotions of each viewer. My efforts are to give unwanted materials a rebirth that awakens the angel in all of us. Sincerely, Karen J. Wassmer, Professional Artist, (c) Whispering Angels(r) Art Studio, 2002...

David Raine - Are dreams just our confused brains de-fragmenting when we rest, just scraps of picture images racing back and forth through the maze of neuron connections seeking to be correctly filed, occasionally flashing up as a partially recognizable scene that we erroneously feel significant? And in the day another overload of thoughts, and facts and images assails our conscious and unconscious minds until we hit the pillow to get them sorted. Shapes come to me in the daytime. Sculptural shapes and sculptural ideas emerge complete from nowhere. At least that's how it appears on the surface of things. But like the process of nightly de-fragmentation and neat filing, that process of re-organizing the blitz of images into a form that is pleasing to my mind and to my set of emotions is what I do. It's totally personal, it is a physical expression of how my arrangement of emotions copes with the world around me. It's entirely possible that sculptural shapes that warm me and give me a degree of satisfaction are not universal and mean nothing to anyone else. ...

Teresa Turner - I've been creating for as long as I can remember, and first tried to show my work at the age of 5 when I set up some paintings at the end of my parents' driveway. (That didn't go so well, but it didn't stop me from wanting to keep at it!) I became a full time artist in 1992, exhibiting my work at shows and galleries in the central midwestern US and Ontario. My artwork now appears in collections across 40 states in the US, as well as Canada, Europe, and the UK. Please remember when viewing images of my work online that the actual works are much more detailed than the format for placing them on the web allows, and color variations will occur when viewed on different systems.

Marques Vickers - PAINTING Painting is a personal battleground, a composition process of revealing the complexity of oneself. The artist cannot separate their passions from the canvas. It is the core of their inspiration-the surrogate therapist. Figurative abstract painting is a process of stripping away the veils of the external to expose the soul. This unveiling process is accomplished through stratum brushwork, the layering of color until a slow realization of the image emerges. The laboriously intense scraping and slashing of brushstrokes ultimately isolates the solitary figure in a transitional movement. With my dancer paintings, the movements of dance are successive brushstrokes from the color palette. The passion radiated to the audience is expressed by the depth and intensity of each stroke. The integrating of color represents each transitional passage formed by the motion of each successive step. My intent is to blur the sequence between positioning and transitioning the demands of a well executed dance sequence. NEO-FORMALISM SCULPTURE Neo-Formalism is a contemporary articulation of the human figure incorporating 20th century introduced design and form elements including abstract color fields, textile and fiber materials and industrial polyurethane resigns. The formative roots and influences originate from a synthesis of the San ...

Grzegorz Luszczyk - Grzegorz Luszczyk belongs to a small group of artists fascinated in leather as an artistic material, in its facture, plasticity and other attributes. Though it has accompanied man since the dawn of history, in contemporary art has been used since not long ago. He also designs and makes statuettes, signboards and gadgets using colour metals, stainless steel together with marble, stone, leather and other materials. The state-of-art techniques like laser and water stream cutting out or powder painting have been used in manufacturing process. Grzegorz Luszczyk's emotional comprehension of art reflects in his works and in permanent searching for artistic material. First, there was metal, next leather, later canvas and paints. Now, there is metal once more but together with stone and plastic. Problems with identity? Rather consequence in penetrating of new artistic expression areas. In his 20 years lasting adventure with art he has tried his hand at different fields. He shaped metal, formed leather, painted, designed small objects... He presented his achievements on 17 exhibitions in Warsaw, Gdansk, Moscow, Madrid and other towns. His works are present in numerous collections in Poland, West Europe, Japan and in the USA. ...

Sylvia Volpi - PHILOSOPHY: To be an artist is to be creative, autonomous, conscious, bold... It is to dare and allow yourself the delirium, reach the imaginary, the fantasy, the pleasure, the beauty ... To wish for the real and to wish for the impossible. It's to open wide, through your work, desires, fights and sorrows in a disclosure. The creative process is the product of the hand , the mind, the imagination and of the work, which is motivated by the search for a conquer: THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR OWN SELF. ...

Bryan Patterson - Bryan Patterson is a Vermont artist and designer. Bryan is directly descended from Johannes Lapp, a founder of the Amish community in America. Among his relatives is Henry Lapp of the late 1800's. Henry was an amazing deaf mute carpenter/craftsman and has his work displayed in The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Bryan says, i?1/2I've always had a love of wood and began creating with it before learning of my Lapp ancestors.i?1/2 Bryan started woodworking professionally in 1977 and has had his work featured in several publications over the years. Concretions have added the newest development to Bryani?1/2s work. He and his family harvest these treasures while swimming in the gorgeous rivers of Vermont. The real enjoyment comes from their display of as many wonderful pictures they make in the mind's eye like those you see in the clouds. Mythology of the Abenaki Indian says that "Wana-games-ak, reckless creatures or those who have lost their minds, are little people of another genus, who inhabit rivers. They have narrow faces'like the blade of a hatchet', so only the profile has an outline. Their noses are high and aquiline,'so large as to be all ...

Petri Kiviniemi - I am a sculptor. My works have been shown since 1994. Sometimes i connect painting and sculpture in the form of assemblage. My current works deal with the human being and her or his relationship to changing society, and the dressing up as art of "development" and innovation. My robot sculptures and the giant abacus sculpture are a good example of this....
