“Old Fashion Love” Acrylic, 16″ x 20″ by Artist Fred Odle
As a creative I am more concerned with the creating than the category or style; hence, my multi-disciplinary approach. I love being in that zone—no fatigue, no time lines, no hunger—just making magic.

“Camellias” Acrylic on Cradled Canvas, 30″ x 30″ by Artist Geri deGruy
My work is experimental, intuitive color-play. My inner stories and the evolving painting itself propel the layers of the work. The interplay and drama of color informs my whole process of creating.

“Beach at Oro Pesos” Oil on Canvas, 24″ x 18″ by Artist Carmen Beecher
I confess to being a tree hugger, fascinated with differences in light in various parts of the world. How fortunate I am to be able to put my love of nature onto canvas!

“Intermission” Oil on Canvas, 36″ x 48″ by Artist Nichole Laizure
Texture and light are an integral part of my art. I want to establish a certain mood that speaks to the viewer and lets them fill in the blanks with their own interpretation.

“Port of Nyhave” Oil on Canvas, 130cm x 81cm by Artist Valerie Ghoussaini
My work is a narrative written in paint of my many travels and life experiences. I am inspired by colors, patterns and themes, which help develop the story I am trying to tell through my images.

“Free Like a Bird” Acrylic, Oil, Alcohol Ink and Resin on Canvas, 48″ x 60″ by Artist Corrina Leidy
I paint because I need to. It’s a form of meditation or therapy for me. Maybe it’s about control. My paintings, like life at times start out as uncontrollable. In time it all works out.

“Where’s Everyone?” Watercolor, 30″ x 22″ by Artist Jacqueline Clark
This painting was created using my non-dominant hand. I drew each object separately on paper, cut them out, arranged them in a composition which I traced on watercolor paper. Then I commenced to paint.

“Souvenirs” (Part of the Project “Seeing the Invisible”) Oil on Canvas, 100cm x 100cm by Artist Diana Malivani
For me, music represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In my view, one of the most difficult goals of artists depicting music on canvas is to convey its rhythm, brilliance, and uniqueness in abstract compositions.

“Morning Coffee” Mixed Media, 10″ x 15″ by Laura Hunt
My archetypal figures hold humanity in the undefined faces, while color and body language convey the emotion of the moment. Acrylics, collage and crayon allow the playful experimentation I hold dear.

“Soul” Mosaic with Smalti, Granite and Marble, 48″ x 30″ by Artist Pamela Mauseth
As a mosaic artist, I strive to create singular remarkable fine art, provoking emotion and contemplation. Evocative and expressive, mosaic art offers the opportunity to inspire creativity and originality in others.

“Noah’s Ark” Mixed Media and Collage, 29″ x 19″ by Artist Beth Goldberg
For me, painting is like breathing. I enjoy using color and texture in the creative process as I experiment with mixed media, acrylic and watercolor. You are invited to view and experience the image.

“La Vive du Jardin de Versailles” Watercolor, 20″ x 21″ by Laurie Griffin
I love communicating a feeling with art. I spent my career working with computers for NASA, so if I can give the viewer a moment of joy or connection—then that’s a successful painting.

“Dream With Passion” Oil on Canvas, 48″ x 60″ by Artist Faith Taylor
My latest abstract floral oil paintings are fresh, vibrant and fun. They are a touch of Redon with the playfulness of Twombly—contemporary and classic—timeless. Commissions are welcomed.

“Rainfall” Oil Painting, 44″ x 48″ by Artist Liz Muir
I paint large impressionist oils of my surrounds where I walk to see the light, colours and the sky. I interpret these with marks, strokes and contrasting elements, using light and shadow to show nature’s beauty.

“Natural Arch at Spitzkoppe, Namibia” Photography, Various Sizes by Artist Tim Hauf
I have a passion for both travel and photography. My desire is to experience the essence of a destination, capturing its natural beauty with my camera and sharing with others what I see and feel.

“Many Small Places” Oil and Pastel, 62cm x 44cm by Artist Charlotte R. Durie
In “Many Small Places” I was inspired by this uplifting message—”Many small people do many small things that can change the world.” This hope provoked my visual reaction to an increasingly isolationist world.

“Entre les lignes IX” Mixed Media on Canvas, 36″ x 48″ by Artist Johanne Brouillette
I am a French Canadian abstract artist whose current body of work focuses on intuitive, monochromatic and heavily textured artwork. Using ashes, paper collage, drawing materials and acrylics, I create and express my unique voice.

“Water Music” Acrylic on Canvas, 36″ x 24″ by Artist Lynne Zentner
Inspiration for my landscapes and florals comes mostly from nature—I visit each site to make sketches and take photos. My desire is to impart some of the beautiful feelings I experience in response to nature.

“Rice Farmer on Cell Phone” Digital Photography as a Giclee Pigment Ink Print on Matte Paper, Various Sizes by Artist Robert Dodge
My photography traverses the definitions of fine art and documentary—I seek to tell important stories through my art such as the story of Vietnam and its people since the war ended four decades ago.

“Entering the Dreamtime” Acrylic and Mixed Media on Board, 24″ x 24″ by Artist Jeanne Beck
In the semi-conscious state between dreaming and waking, I often tap into deep insights and see places that seem real but don’t actually make sense once I am fully awake—they are dreamscapes.

“Expanse” Oil on Linen, 30″ x 25″ by Artist Amy Hughes
I manipulate and render the flesh in oil paint, exploring the ways in which women’s bodies have been depicted in art history and contemporary visual culture.

“Australian Flora No. 33” Photograph Modified with PhotoShop, Various Sizes by Artist Michael Morrison
My fascination with flowers is revealed in my photographs. I capture an image in visible light, then create devolving impressionistic images. My objective is to inspire others and reveal nature in its splendor and glory.
