The Inner Woman.jpeg

"When I’m in “the zone”, the whole world falls away, because I have jumped into and am living in the painting. I am sharing my love of art and positive vision of the world to others."

7 The Giraffe Trio.jpg

"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."

Marina Pearson

"Through painting, I can connect with the world and give good energy back. When I paint, I trust the callings of my soul. I love the unknown and discovery as the painting reveals itself to me. "

Artist Photo - M. Miller - 2023.jpg

"Miller is a self-taught painter who enjoys the freedom of abstract expressionism and loves bringing a sculptural element to her work with plaster and wood..."

EmpressOfLight_19x24_MixedMedia.jpg

""...a master magician of the canvas, weaving spells of wonder and enchantment with my multi-media artwork. 

Janine Littrell.jpg

"...My vessels are more sculptural than functional. I would describe my esthetic as modern, organic, feminine, industrial (if those are all possible in combination)..."

Wandering Eye-20 x 20-Pen and Ink-2008.jpg

"The Enigmatist

Depth is my gateway into the Black and White"

Hopkinsville Bar 18X24 oil on canvas.jpg

TroutLake_Summer'sEnd_Hauge.jpeg

"My focus will always be to continue to strive to create art that excites, inspires and expresses every part of our complex human condition."

Gracz -Lichen _#2.jpg

" I am still journeying through the chaos of the natural world, in hopes of restoring order within the confines of that rectangle. The goal is to create that elusive perfect image, while spending some quality time with the greater powers that be."

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

Flanders Field 1919 16x20  Acrylc.jpg

"The journey for me into the art world is an incredible experience."

Flip Flopped.jpg

"Representative art has always attracted me, however, creating mixed media has forced me to be freer."

Shirley_Bishop_fusedglass_heartonfire.jpeg

"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..."

DF Close 3.jpeg

"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"

In the Shower Claudia Chapman.jpg

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.
