My paintings are abstract landscapes. Within the language of landscape, I am using motion, light, color and energy to evoke an emotional state, to create a sense of mystery.
10 Ways to Make Your Art Business Stand Out
How can you as an artist stand out from the crowd? Here’s your list of next steps.
Featured Artist Jonathan Mandell
I have been producing tactile wall mounted panels and sculptures over the last 22 years for both commercial and residential clients. I think of what I create as being the juncture of painting, drawing and sculpture.
Featured Artist Helen Rudy
I am interested in combining the structured nature of my background into my work. I use a lot of geometric designs, repetition and patterns to create multi-dimensional pieces. I am keen to experiment with light to see how it affects the nature of the glass in different conditions.
The Upside of Rejection
Failure can teach you that “it’s a numbers game.” Most sales attempts don’t make it. Most people don’t want to see or buy your art.
Featured Artist Michael Soltis
When I approach a painting, I start by applying color and texture. I typically do not have a plan in place but allow images to emerge through the application process. I like the idea of creating or molding something out of what happens organically. Sometimes the piece takes on a loose, wild and energetic aesthetic, while other times something calming, layered and more precise takes form.

Be it laundry hanging on a clothesline blowing in the wind, puffy quilts, an old barn, a field of flowers, colourful umbrellas, mother and child, a snowy night – all are made of clay. It is a medium that has proven ever forgiving. It allows me to take it wherever my imagination leads me.

An expression of worship, a piece that reveals a deep eternal truth, or a piece that simply leads the viewer into a deeper discovery of their own spirituality or the relationship God wishes to have with them – these are what you might discover in my works.
Featured Artist Kate Wood
At one point in the Bush, I was painting the same scene sometimes several times a day with the changing light and weather. It never looked the same twice. I continue with mountainscapes from around the state. I am fascinated by the shapes and light of the mountains and consider most of my work semi-abstract.
Featured Artist Jason Nelson
I also draw inspiration directly from the stone itself. I think that ‘truth to materials’ is more important in stone sculpting than with any other medium. Before I begin carving, I like to closely study a stone specimen in an effort to discover what might be trapped inside it.
