My paintings represent a fantasy world, a distortion of the truth and of reality. The worlds created offer a range of experiences from the mundane to the dreamlike. Often times, it is my emotional reaction to the painting as it is being created which serves as the inspiration.

Bess Duston2008-04-21
Whether in watercolor painting or screen-printing, I look for strong contrasts in the pieces that I produce. Portraying the beauty that surrounds us is the challenge I give myself and I hope this is evident to those who view the pieces.

Debbie Wagner2008-04-04
There is always a thread of personal history that connects my artwork as each painting emerges from my past emotional experiences and is tempered by the present. This familiarity of life is what I enjoy creating. —Debbie Wagner

His formal studies have led him to an interest in the qualities of humanness and the behavioral forms of physical, social, and cultural human beings.

My works are contemporary in design; with use of geometrics, symmetry and texture. The creation of design angles and vessel openings with different perspectives is my personal signature. Although more tedious, with little margin for error, I choose to work with the translucency of dye and ink to maintain the gourd’s natural integrity. While my pieces may bear more resemblance to pottery than gourd, it’s important to remember that the gourd itself first inspired the end result.

I’ve been blessed with a voracious addiction to color. The experience of painting is the euphoric state of non-thinking…my favorite meditation.

Lori Wright2008-02-27
Recently, I have become fascinated with the untold story behind people, objects, or animals. Everywhere you look, every item you touch has an underlying story. I have begun creating my own narrative to these untold stories.

Jessica McGan2008-02-20
Every artist has a theory, a philosophy about what they do. I paint. That’s what I do. I paint because I love the texture of the medium, the sound of the brush on the canvas, and the sight of the amazing colors. Being an artist was not a choice, it’s who I am. I am not looking for the meaning of life, I am looking for the meaning in the images I see and how I can recreate those images for others.

Sam Hendricks2008-02-08
Digital painting is a fairly new medium that many people don’t understand completely. I find most people unfamiliar with digital illustration immediately ask one question. “Did you use a photo?” The answer is no, there is no digital photo manipulation in any of these.

Sandra Schaffer2008-02-15
In technique Sandra’s work tends to be very detailed, with an emphasis on brilliant color. The challenge for her has always been to find combinations of clean color glazes that create the most vibrant effects. The most important technical aspects of a work to her are dimension, depth, and intensity.

“I swear that girl is fearless when it comes to her abilities to create. She has always been very bold and her art reflects that with her colors and shapes—nothing demure here.” —David O’Dell

"Just for a second you see something unique, normal, disturbing or just beautiful. I try to capture these short moments of time that would normally just pass us by." —Robb Walter

Adrian Halpern2008-01-14
I began drawing at age negative zero inside my mom's womb. Holding a torch like a cave dude and sweating non-stop from eating the same old foods of crab rangoon, matzah ball soup, and ice cream. I pressed on drawing non-stop doodles of dinosaurs, stick figured nude chicks, and Mayan masks. It was spectacular! —Adrian Halpern

Laura Nugent2007-12-09
I like to make paintings that offer an immediately recognizable image and pattern. Over time, I want those paintings to slowly reveal a depth of both narrative and process, to ask questions and remain compelling.
—Laura Nugent

Steph Toth Kates2007-12-02
Throughout time, humans have invented mythological stories in an attempt to make sense of the vast world around us. My paintings also seek to do this, but on a more intimate level.

Heather Smith Jones2007-06-03
In my work I connect dichotomies. I consider certainty and uncertainty, clarity and obscurity, unity and individuality, and permanence and ephemerality.
—Heather Smith Jones

Cynthia Beard2007-05-27
I believe you can find beauty almost anywhere, if you really look for it—not only in the obvious loveliness of a canal in Venice, but in the more elusive pull of a lonely road in Kansas or a dusty arena in Arizona. –Cynthia Beard

Amy Corn2007-05-11
I knew from the moment that I discovered that crayons were better to draw with than eat that I wanted to be an artist.

I am finding that within the medium, no matter what I am shooting, I’m there to participate in the process.

People mold, shape, and assign flexible meaning to art objects and other artifacts.

Jeremy Rockwell2007-03-15
When a rich array of visual elements accumulate, converse, and eventually converge on a common ground, the artwork is finished, the conversation over.

William Moxham2007-03-05
I suppose growing up here in a place where there are no mountains, I’ve seen that people are just as deep and beautiful as any scape of land or sky.
—William Moxham

Ryan J. Bodenstab2007-02-26
The art I produce is a peek into my soul; it’s the creative presence of conformed thoughts and bleeding emotions enhanced by God-given talent received at birth.
—Ryan J. Bodenstab, Artist Statement

Ben Timpson2007-02-01
The passion to create Intrinsically,
not by anything material.
A creative drive that wakes you every morning.
You must observe every moment you have been given.
To keep it simple.

Justin Marable2007-02-01
Within the prints and photographs, he wants to bring an awareness of current conditions to a regionally based audience, who are concerned with the emigration of small town populations and the gradual disappearance of local history.

Caleb McCandless2007-02-01
In my latest creation, I utilize a three-dimensional painting technique. The process took over a year to perfect and takes multiple stages and an extensive amount of drying time to complete.

I like to paint like a bird dog runs, bringing a depth of senses to the canvas, using the whole body, intuition engaged.

Joe Bussell2007-02-01
This new body of work titled “Daddy’s Hands” was made from reclaimed clay, recycled paint and glue, reused stretchers and canvas, dryer lent, chicken bones, bean pods, burned out light bulbs, eggshells, bubble wrap, toothpicks etc. The fuel to make these pieces came from memory flashes of my childhood. As a result of this work I found a fresh path. —Joe Bussell
|
Paul Flinders2007-02-01
I’m certainly not trying to re-create E.T. If I wanted to state the obvious appearance of people and objects in my images, I’d take a picture. It’s more an effort of turning the facial expression into a landscape. It’s much more interesting for me to create a larger plane in which to nudge features this way and that until it conveys a certain energy. —Paul Flinders, in PRESENT Interview
