“Siena” Oil on Canvas, 8″ x 10″ by artist Caryl Pomales
I’m inspired by beauty in daily life and the spirit of animals. I use art to help pets, one brushstroke at a time, and invite all to contribute by purchasing my paintings or attending my workshops!
“The Magic Tadpole Pond When I was 6” Watercolour, Ink and Oil on Canvas, 61cm x 61cm by artist Lucinda Leveille
As a photographer I am moved by the feminine expression of flowers. Today’s woman sees a flower as a symbol of her power and creativity. Her strength and emotion.
“Yellow Brick Road” Acrylic, Enamel Stain and Watercolor on Canvas, 30″ x 40″ by artist Dave Weindorf
I create these ink environments like accidents. I have little control of the environment that emerges and then I search for something that lives there. They are an exciting surprise in an unknown landscape.
“They Planned to Enjoy the Day” Handmade Watercolor and Mixed Media on Arches Paper, 10″ x 8″ by artist Suzanne Siegel
I am inspired by nature and all its biomorphic, abundant shapes and textures. I also love process, using unique materials and creating a poetic vision in my art.
“Transforming Breakthrough” Acrylic on Canvas, 24″ x 20″ by artist Gillian St. George
Specializing in graphite and colored pencil, I am drawn to drawing the offbeat, unusual and sometimes bizarre. I focus primarily on abstract interpretation and portraiture, exploring the otherworldly topographical landscapes of human features.
“Pomegranates” Oil on Canvas, 24″ x 12″ by artist Maruja Quezada
Inspired by the Chinese methodology and Buddhist philosophy of reincarnation, I create a dialogue between the materials I use in my sculpture/paintings—such as paint, metal, ash, sand and wood—the subject, and the world.
“Seated Reflection” Acrylic, 24″ x 18″ by artist Christine Tisa
I hand tint black and white photographs of trees and landscapes using transparent oils to create dreamy, ethereal works of art.
“Floral Fantasy” Acrylic on Paper, 12″ x 12″ by artist Maureen Tracey
My work, my mission, my goal is to reflect the beauty around me through art. Nature is my muse.
“Seaturtle” Acrylic on Canvas, 36″ x 24″ by artist Ra’Chel Alexander
Vibrant, alive, healing energies in color. My intuitive oil paintings, just like this one, carries these qualities. I paint from inner inspiration in a really direct way—using only my fingertips and palms.
“Ancient Elegance – Monterey Cypress” Oil on Canvas, 302″ x 30″ by artist Laurel Sherrie
As a figurative-expressionist artist, I depend on intuition to communicate a feeling or tell a story. Movement and values create interest—inspiration can be an old photograph or just splashes of paint.
“Celestial Beauty – Water” Oil on Canvas, 18″ x 28″ by artist Darcy Lynn
In “Manhattan Boat Ride” there is a panoramic view of the New York Skyline including the new World Trade Center which is a restored landmark. This painting captures a moment of peace and tranquility.
“Amelia I” Mixed Media on Paper, 6″ x 9″ by artist Kandra Scullin
I try to walk a line between figurative and abstract painting. Dissonances are found throughout my work and they bring to the fore a visual representation of my search for order in a seemingly disordered world.
“Apparition” Digital Photography, Various Sizes by artist Maria O’Farrell
This is a digital photograph capturing an amazing apparition—the profile of an old bearded and robed man descending through the light in Antelope Canyon. This image was a finalist in the 2013 Defenders of Wildlife magazine photography contest.
