I work to blur the boundary between the ephemeral, spiritual and physical dream world. Each painting has a specific message and meaning hidden within, to be found for those willing to look for it.
This piece is to remind the viewer that the space between words, the break in conversation and the calm on a painting are equally important. They all give our minds a chance to pause, reset and reflect.
I work in acrylic, oil and watercolor. In my street scenes and similar “location” series of paintings I have found a love of solving the geometry and the ability to create a sense of place.
Calm the mind. Through my art, I want to share certain perceptions experienced in places I visited, thus leading the viewer to travel, reflect and get lost in his or her own thoughts.
The inspiration for my work is to connect people through hope and healing. My own journey as an artist has been filled with the theme that relationships and art can be very therapeutic.
I am fascinated by nature, creation, and mysteries seen and unseen, real and imagined. My life and imaginings are completely eclectic and my art reflects that.
My art is inspired by God’s creations. I paint animals and landscapes, primarily in oil and watercolor. I tend to focus on birds because each one is unique and joyful.
This painting is part of my new series “Illuminated Women.” Each painting, dazzling with Swarovski crystals, gold leaf, lace, iridescent paint and more, emanates the ethereal power and beauty women express through their fashions.
Graphite, ink, acrylic and burnished/polished Venetian plaster. The physical process includes scraping and burnishing. Canvas was painted stapled to a wall; then the entire surface, including the wrapped edges, affixed with very strong glue to the wood cradle.
My paintings are inspired by landscapes, people, animals, nature and the phenomena that happens in it. I select its strongest color to capture on the canvas to stimulate the eyes and form emotions.
I am a self-taught digital fine art painter using the program Microsoft Paint and a mouse. I am inspired to create beauty and convey it to others with a goal of appreciating and protecting our environment.
I look out the window and see inspiration everywhere—colour, shapes, form, light and mood. They all combine in various ways onto my canvas creations.
I am known as Kathy S. “White Bear” Copsey—an American artist with Native American and European heritage. My textured acrylic paintings, featuring animals and Natives, are considered contemporary Native American art.
I love to use vibrant colors and bold marks in my paintings. They reflect the joy and exhilaration in life, and give us pause to remember that sometimes there is “Not Much Time Left.”
There is so much darkness in our world today. My goal is to draw attention to the beauty we often overlook—the way sunlight falls on a garden path or the colors in a bouquet.
Technology vs. Nature—I love nature. My hope for the future is that less of our lives will be spent on the computer, and more time will be spent experiencing the beauty of nature.
For my latest series “Moody Blues” I use the dynamic Tasmanian scenery as my inspiration. The ever-changing weather and the interaction between the ocean and land motivates me to capture the essence of this beautiful island.
Pastel, with its rich color, is my primary medium. I am inspired by my varied upbringing and Indian roots, and seek to put my experiences on canvas through explorations of technique, color and subject matter.
I have two goals when I paint—to nurture my own mental and emotional health by engaging in creating, and to introduce art into the world that communicates and evokes emotional responses.
It is through the creation of abstract paintings using oil paint and sand that I am able to deepen my spiritual and healing journey. I explore profound and deeply personal life experiences which, by nature, are universal.
