When I paint, I am exploring color, texture, and patterns, and how they relate. Each painting begins with layers of pure color and grows through a process of glazing, sanding, adding, and subtracting.

Everything I do is freehand. I never use rulers, compasses, magnifying glasses or computers. I primarily work in watercolor and pen and ink. My goal is to make the two mediums complement each other. I love the loose, almost messy watercolor, mixed with the intricate details that I hand draw on top.
Featured Artist Tanya Marie Reeves
I hope my artwork inspires and empowers women of all ages, helping them to embrace and revel in similar attributes within themselves while also reminding every man of the strong, beautiful women in their everyday lives.
Featured Artist Kurt Wedgley
Now, I not only shape canvases anyway I desire, but I add other media to them. I have so many ideas! I really like the idea of adding metal to them. I love the contrast between the delicate canvas and the solid steel and how they seem to work together harmoniously.

These images and ideas are put together into new, digitally collaged backgrounds which are printed onto fabric. On top of the new backdrop, I embellish with hand-embroidered illustrations that subvert the image into a new direction.
Featured Artist Kate Passingham
I’ve long been captivated by pastels and am enthralled by the immediacy and intensity of their colours and their incredible versatility.
Featured Artist Chuck Middlekauff
I am inspired by the road culture of the western United States and American culture in general—advertising art, toys, cartoons and comic books, Coke machines and windmills, cowboys, rock and roll and even my aging painting tools.
Artist Showcase, Autumn 2018
From mixed media to oil, photography, watercolor and even finger painting, the following artists share their passion for art by showcasing one of their favorite pieces of art.
Featured Artist Peter Judge
I ask you, the viewer, to be involved as a participant in the process and feel the beauty of “functional art.” My art asks to used, not just looked at.
Featured Artist Tom Dimond
Through a process of layering materials and paint to cover up, expose, and reveal images, I develop a surface that creates a state of ambiguity for the viewer and allows one to freely interpret the visual statement.
Featured Artist Ginger Gilmour
I have come to understand that this quality and experience is best captured by creating a metaphysical story of the interaction between the viewer, the artist and the artwork.
Featured Artist Terri Albanese
I am particularly interested in the public’s desire to touch my work and I encourage them to do so, as this allows them to be pulled farther into the art.
Featured Artist Alice Shepherd
Intrigued, I bought my first kiln and began my relationship with glass—this unique material that is neither solid nor liquid, whose molecular structure changes with every firing yet retains the details of each, that can be smooth or textured, flat or wavy, woven, draped, that can record images—had captured my fascination!
Featured Artist Vikki Jackson
My goal is to interpreting the amazing flora and fauna of this country (Australia) with my individual style and share it with the rest of the world.
