Born in The Netherlands (1964) I am a self-educated painter. Although I studied house-painting, commercial painting and advertising my main interest has always been in fine art. I began my career as an artist after completing military service, firstly by painting abstract work of the surrounding landscapes where I live. These were begun with sketches in Indian ink on paper and later translated into large paintings (35" x 50") in my studio. During this period my work was shown in a number of galleries, town halls, libraries and other venues in The Netherlands and Germany. Further initiatives resulted in exhibition opportunities with other artists in my own neighbourhood.In 2004 I discovered the delights of real 'plein-air' painting and became addicted at once! This has become my main area of interest for the time being.Rene's BlogTechnorati Tags art, blog, artist, paintings

Angela Ferreira
is a Portuguese artist established in Cardiff, Wales. From an early age, she has loved to travel. Many of the countries she has experienced have had a strong influence on her works. But she says it is the green valleys and the magical atmosphere of Wales in particular that inspire her to create ever more fantastic paintings of dream-like 'wonderlands'. It is through these imaginative paintings that she expresses her journeys within distant lands and exotic cultures, with a little bit ofsurrealism mixed in.Angela has lived and studied in the USA where she won a School Art Award for outstanding achievement and her work is being published in the next Spring Issue 2007 of National Geographic School books across USA.Angela's paintings seem to be telling a story, a fairytale... Her goal is to bring cultures together, transmit good inner feelings, positive energy and to take your eyes on a journey to a different imaginative world. Artist Statement:"The subconscious

Sally Chupick is a Canadian painter of watercolours and oils. She paints what moves her, mixing what she sees and what she wants to see while developing her paintings. Sally was born in Nova Scotia in 1956. Her mother and grandfather were both artists. At college, she studied fashion design and pursued this for a short while before realizing her heart wanted to paint. Painting has consumed her free time ever since that realization.“My subjects are varied; I get bored exploiting any one particular subject. I work in watercolours and oils…I like the challenge of both mediums and switching between them gives me a variety which I enjoy.”She has studied watercolour under Frank Webb, Tony Couch and the late Zoltan Szabo;and in Australia, under Greg Allen and Robert Wade. She studied oil painting at the Brougham School of Art, in Geelong, Australia.She lives and paints at Stoneheath Studio, just north of Kingston Ontario. On glorious days she paints outdoors.Sally's BlogTechnorati Tags

From an early age, while traveling and living in various places, I spent a majority of my time beach combing and exploring the countryside. These formative years of observation instilled a passion to capture the natural world through my art.While attending college in Southern California, my first artistic job was cartoonist for the campus newspaper. After moving to the Pacific Northwest I worked in the graphic arts field including freelance illustrator for major publishing companies. Eventually, inspired by the impressionist style, I produced landscape paintings for private collectors, public corporations, and galleries.In the intervening years, I partnered with my husband and formed a decorative painting business. The job entailed designing and painting large-scale murals for businesses and residential homes. During this venture, my goals turned toward writing and illustration for children's books.Working from my studio in the Pacific Northwest as a dedicated fine art painter for mor

I grew up in Rochester Minnesota, and when it came time to apply for college, I knew that art school was the place for me. I attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design for two years and then studied illustration at the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts) although I always felt as if I wanted to be a painter and exhibit my work. After college I did a number of different things, working as a graphic designer, illustrator and product designer. When my husband and I had our first baby, I decided to put art aside for awhile and focus on being a stay at home mom, which I did for about 10 years.When the youngest of our four children went off to school three years ago, I began to paint again and am now basically painting full time. Despite having never painted landscapes, I have been greatly inspired by the land around our home in upstate NY and so for now, I mainly paint landscapes, barns and houses.My work can be seen in galleries in Williamstown, MA, New Yor

I hesitate to call myself an artist. Surely that title should be backed up by an in depth body of work in an established mature style, neither of which I have. Largely self-taught, apart from a little time at art college, I continue to be a student of art, very happy at the moment to experiment with different techniques and subjects, depending on how I feel when I get up in the morning. Maybe one day I shall pin down my own style, but until then I'm having way too much fun!Originally from the UK, my husband and I live on the island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean with our four foundling dogs and two cats. When in England I worked freelance as a needlework project designer for several craft magazines, and designed a range of needlework kits, which continue to be manufactured and distributed from the UK. I taught art and craft workshops here in Cyprus until last year when I stopped to concentrate on making paintings. What JOY! Some days it's an abstract acrylic

Painting and living in the New Jersey shore area, Rick has always had a connection with the Arts. Earlier in his career, he performed as a singer /drummer, with some writing and recording, at the Record Plant NYC and a few other recording studios in Philadelphia. As he continued pursuing his interests, a businessman saw some of his sketches and commissioned him to do a a series of paintings for a cancer center treating children. From there he studied on his own, reading the life and letters of Vincent Van Gogh and many of other painters who have left their mark. Learning also from life and travel he gained a wealth of knowledge.Then, through a metamorphosis, Rick became a painter and launched out to capture and render the beautiful world that surrounds us. Some of the themes you will see reflected in his paintings have been influenced by the towns, villages, cities and rural countryside he has visited. His paintings are in homes as far north as Quebec City, Saint Antoine sur Richeli

Mostly a self-taught fiber artist, I enjoy the process of experimenting with different techniques to discover what works. This time spent experimenting has caused my work to evolve and change over the years and so have my interests in different elements of the textile arts. Working with silk fusion has given me an endless source of enjoyment and I'm continually fascinated by how versatile a medium it is. One of my current passions is the exploration of working in 3D using layered fabric and fiber surfaces and the combination of paper and fabric to create my own journals and sketchbooks.

I am a self-represented artist working out of my studio in my home. Although I’m self taught I have taken workshops and studied with many nationally known artists so I guess you could call it more like selective education. My medium of choice is pastel with oil being a close second. I teach pastel classes at a local junior college and participate in several artist organizations in the surrounding area.Linda's BlogTechnorati Tags art, blog, artist, paintings

The prolific urban abundance of species like the Ibis (AVIAN show 2006) are symptomatic of human interaction or impact through drought, global warming, scavenging etc. Similar awarenesses are a catalyst for continuing urban observational subject matter. Simon
's work is primarily observational. His solo show AVIAN 2006, consisted of a collection of oil paintings observing a few bird species of urban domestic Sydney, their persona and their unshakable human interactions that affect their very existence. Of interest are the incarcerated, the scavenging and the streetwise. Key to the choice of subject matter for AVIAN were observations and experiences that go hand-in-hand with having a young family, such as snap-shotting and zoo, beach and park trips. A graduate of Sydney College of the Arts, Simon is constantly painting and religiously participates in a weekly life drawing group.C.V. Born: AUSTRALIA, 1969 Resides: Sydney SOLO SHOWS 2006 - Avian
