Artist StatementFor 25 years, I’ve painted a variety of subject matter. I try to give the best rendition of what I see, to let the viewer understand why I painted a particular view in a landscape or expression in a person, place or thing. Painting water and the elements around...

Growing up in the Peruvian Andes, I used to ride my grandfather’s horses. That love never left me. I enjoy portraying them but more than a picture a feeling of a long-time memory.  As a self-taught artist, my genuine admiration for the human figure became a passion for me. When...

The look and feel of handmade pottery have always been a joy to me. I’d ask myself, “What mysterious magic has been used to create this beautiful creation in my hand?” Finding out that I too could devise my own such handiwork was thrilling.

As a jewelry artist, I am driven by a passion for crafting pieces that evoke a sense of wonder and joy in those who wear them. My work is a celebration of the unique beauty found in minimalism and geometric forms. Each piece is meticulously designed to harmonize with the...

Ken Bolton

I was the quintessential art kid growing up, mostly early on, obsessed with illustrative artists and trying to emulate the likes of Frank Frazzetta, Kevin Long, and Dave McKean amongst many others. I probably spent more time doodling and sketching than paying attention to more important topics in school. I...

Paints, brushes and canvas were toys to help me experiment and grow and to help express myself. My inspiration derives from nature, life events and the environment around me. My goal is to produce a thought-provoking piece that makes a connection with the viewer. I strive to bring feeling into...

B Collins

My inspiration is the intersection between art and function. For the most part, I enjoy making simpler pieces on the pottery wheel, like bowls and cups. My favorite part is glazing. I love to see how glazes interact with one another, how the colors and chemicals can melt into something...

Practicing art teaches me about life. It reminds me to be playful, creative and fun. It teaches me to be and focused in the moment, momentarily shutting out every-thing except my hands and the clay. It teaches me to be patient and accepting – with myself and with others.

Logan Foster “Divinity”

I am a painter amongst many things. I am inspired by love, life, spirituality, and blackness. My art is centered around self expression. I believe that every color communicates a feeling, an idea, and triggers an emotional response. Art is healing. To be an artist, is to have an intuitive understanding of this. A painter...

Hanging on the walls and hidden in the corners of our homes are the photographs and works of those who came before us. These seemingly mundane and irrelevant objects are the indexical records of family and human history.

Peter Harding

Growing up in England my mother would take me for walks across the local fields and tell me about all of the wild flowers, birds, insects, and wild life we would chance upon. I marveled at the wonders that might be found on a blade of grass or under a...

Jason Huffman

From an early age, as far back as I can remember, I’ve drawn and painted. In school, when the other kids were running and playing, I would find something, anything to draw on. Art has been a lifelong obsession; it is not an option – I have to create, whether...

Judith Kolva

Color, texture, and random shapes form my world. They spill over into my art. I paint with acrylics on textured canvases and calked wood. My tools are brushes, palette knives, an array of texture gadgets, and even my fingers. My clothes are either covered in paint or waiting to be...

John Lever

The inspiration for my photography comes from my desire to share my views of my travels and of the natural world. Whether this takes form as a snow covered mountain, a tropical island or a bird in flight, the theme is the same: connect the viewer with my personal view...
