Artists Describing Their Art:
John Hopper - Although my medium of choice is watercolor, I do oils and acrylics. I find watercolor more exciting, more FUN, and I tend to experiment with technique in watercolor, where I tend to vary my subject matter in other medium. I am a photographer also, however, I see photography as capturing a moment in time with everything static, where in painting, even representational, you put your experiences, history, your entire person into the painting. You bring together your sense of what youve painted aEUR" and hope that the viewer can feel some of that aEUR" along with, and more important, their sense of their own experiences mirrored in the painting.

My goal is to inspire others who see my work, to give them the same warm feeling that I feel every time I hold my paintbrushes. ...
Barbara Shepard - Although I had a grounding in many techniques and processes and an academic training in drawing and painting from nature, archetecture and the model, my early work became abstracted and sometimes it was in 3d or relief using mixed media. Gradually it honed down into painting and drawing mainly due to studio restriction and other themes to do with the body started to emerge. I moved away from abstraction and in the late 1980's and early 1990's themes were to do with redefining the feminine and picturing the female nude from a female perspective. My current work is concerned with different aspects of human expression and especially a different face of masculinity. It seeks to re-configure the male in art. I am interested in how this translates into the aesthetics of a pictorial image, creating beauty in composition, colour and mark making. Taken from a close up perspective, they explore female desire and male vulnerability. The male model is the observed rather than the observer.
