I love that I can create another view of a landscape that not only conveys my feelings and emotions, but perhaps allows the viewer to experience the scene in another way by seeing the different colors I use—colors that don’t appear to the naked eye.

I love the technique of free motion threading, it is like using thread as a paintbrush—combining my love of both painting and quilting.

My art work explores aspects of our natural world and human experience. I intend to discover the inner beauty of things and the complexities of life, the natural environment that represents life, the water that nourishes the earth with fertility, knowledge and the evolution of life.
Featured Artist Sherif Hakeem
My inspiration for my art comes from subjects who have or had a difficult way of life. People who have the misfortune of being homeless and animals that are abused.

Single pigmented paints, many of which are transparent in nature, are among my favourites. Layer upon layer is built on the canvas, combined with inks and watercolours. The transparency allows each layer to peek through to the one above.

My circadian rhythms were off and I was nocturnal so I started working through the night, invoking nighttime’s mystical energy while simultaneously honoring my own cycles. My excessive REM cycles gave me intense and vivid dreams so I started drawing them.

Details such as the varying and subtle changes of colour and shape in a flower’s petal or the blossoming of dappled sunlight on it’s surroundings—these are the things that inspire me to create.
Featured Artist Joseph Boddy
I feel strongly about honoring the past by reintroducing reclaimed wood from old buildings, rusty farm equipment and other natural materials in a way that hopefully helps redefine what beauty has always been.

There is nothing else I’d rather be doing than making art. On any given day, at any given time, I can be found sitting at my easel, listening to music while joyfully losing myself in the process.
Featured Artist Denise Presnell
To add an even more random step to the process, I stand the canvas or paper up vertically and let it drip. The contrast between random accidents and more decisive mark making thrills me.
Featured Artist Leanne Hamilton
My initial inspiration and creative drive, comes from my meditations and my spiritual life, and I have come to see the various floating or swimming elements in my work as often representing the energy signature of a landscape, or the feeling I have about it.
Featured Artist Brett Hall
Art can disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. Maybe I can do that—disturb those who would like to forget and comfort those who remember.
Featured Artist Carlos Uribe
A dear friend and author has referred to my style as “Maximalist,” a term that aptly describes both my multilayered images and themes that aspire to capture more than one meaning at once.
Featured Artist Jorn Lynae Mork
I try to paint the way a meadowlark sings. Lines become the energetic swirls of wind and a woman may show the strength of a mountain or the resilience of a tree.
