I actually love the loss of control that the knife provides and the application of oil paint with its buttery texture and beautiful surface shine when not overworked.

I found immersing myself in painting to be therapeutic and rewarding at the same time. It kindled a burning passion to continue creating art.

In my portraits, I want to make the animal’s personality shine and bring out their very best aspects. I pride myself in capturing the animal’s spirit and life force within my paintings or drawings.

Once I discovered fluid acrylics, a whole new world opened up. I fell in love with the vibrant colours and the pure energy that emanated from them.

I attempt to capture an ordinary moment, a chance encounter, or a fragment of urban life that repeats hundreds of times a day.
Featured Artist Clive Meredith
It seemed a natural progression from my love of watching wildlife that I would attempt to record the animals and birds that I saw daily onto paper; and so, from an early age, a pencil and sketchbook would accompany me everywhere on my expeditions.

Ideas are magic. Taking one idea to completion just means five more knocking at your door, until eventually you just take the door off the hinges.
Featured Artist Barbara Sullivan
I taught myself to paint by setting up and painting still life and later took workshops with special artists. Painting from life allows me to see color, lights and especially the detail in darks and shadows.
Featured Artist Peter Bragino
I’ve always followed my heart and it’s led me to an incredible life of creativity. I know others want to pursue their own path as well and I want to encourage and support that internal seeking through the art that I make.

I want to master the abstraction in painting as far as it will go for me. In order to do that, I paint every day and keep at it. My goal is just to keep going and see what happens!

My studio is indoor/outdoor, which really affects my work. Nature is all around me when I paint, and always becomes part of my subject matter.
Featured Artist Cary Reeder
My desire is to create a mood and atmosphere with each painting that leaves the viewer curious, unsettled, and questioning; compelling them to fill in the missing details.
Featured Artist Lyn Diefenbach
The pursuit of masterly quality is a high priority and I am constantly honing my skills and adding to my knowledge of the craft of painting.
Featured Artist Paul Trapp
I believe when we see something inconsistent with reality we cease to be passive observers and begin to be active interpreters of our surroundings. These moments allow us to break from our daily routine and experience this world in new ways.
