"...Lines produced along the edges create dynamic shapes and prisms forging out a new universe. All this presses deeply into his mind and opens the heart to peaceful horizons."
"I hope my images are thought-provoking, inspiring, and challenge you to take a worldwide view. When you hang my photos on your wall, may you see beauty, art, possibility, and gain tolerance and perspective in each moment."

"As I explore this new adventure, I have found it both intimidating and rewarding, while providing a journey to new and creative experiences."

"Representative art has always attracted me, however, creating mixed media has forced me to be freer."
Claudia's passion is the conservation of the natural world, and her goal is to portray the complex beauty of nature, capture the essence of wildlife, and inspire the viewer.
"I fell in love with stained glass in highschool. After my intermediate life (job, family, etc) I tried fusing in 2013 where I fell in love with art glass again. I started fusing classes immediately so I could share as I learned..."
"With a chisel in one hand and a whimsical notion that somewhere in his lineage, the Flintstones might not just be a childhood cartoon but actual ancestors, Richard embarks on a unique artistic odyssey that transforms the steadfast stubbornness of rock into the fluid grace of animals, insects, birds, and plants"
