Artists Describing Their Art:
Eleanor Hartwell - I am a self taught artist. I like to explore in all types of media, and try out a variety of style and type of work. I have a lot of fun doing what I do. I have done a series of drawings for a book on Harehunting, which will be published in the spring of 2002. "One Day at a Time" In October of 2002, New Hampshire Public Radio will be offering a "gift" of a mug to thier fall fund drive donaters, featuring my painting done specially for this project. ...
Stephanie Hayden - My work varies in style, i try to capture moments of my life on different canvases, from watercolours, acrylics, to montages, sculpture and my photography. Much of my work is dark & disturbing and i can attribute it to the fact that until recently i was registered blind, legally, having been born with dislocated lenses. The more vibrant & colourful works are from my later period after i had surgery to implant interocular lenses, thus i now see the world in a totally different way. This can be seen across my portfolio....
Clovis Aquino - Painting Watercolours is a great moment for me, its when my inner world comes out and I show myself without masks. I try to transmit my "romantic" feeling through my paintings . I paint landscapes but also abstract or informal subjects. My oils are most of the time Masters' Copies, it's a moment for learning and increasing my approach to art, but it's also a challenge with myself and a way for me to give tribute to the great artists of the past. I'm also fascinated of a person's stare, a portrait is something special and unique for me because I can paint someone's portrait only when I can catch his/her stare and related expression, that's the same for my imaginary portraits. Being born in Brazil, and now living in Rome, gives me a opportunity of touching the Past, living the Present and getting ready for the Future at the same time...the Eternal City...that's my research of Life=Art! ...
