Artists Describing Their Art:
Raquel Soaz - My work is hand-built by slab and pinch construction using low-fire clay. In my most recent work, I give much attention to colors to complete my work using either glazes, underglazes, cold finishes (acrylics), inks, color pencils, and/or any other I need for communicating my intended vision. Most of my pieces are figurative/objects. Printed and shaped with my childhood country's colors, rhythms and warmth. ...

Austen Pinkerton - Austen Pinkerton If I turn my mind to it very quickly I can come up with several ideas for works aEUR|paintings, drawings, or sculptures.

Deepening the philosophical ideas of cosmism and avatarism, I chose to be the conductor of the new spiritual Knowledge and through my art to help humanity to go through initiation into awareness, to choose a harmonious version of the future. Through my sculptures, I strive to give a person an incentive for a breakthrough, a flight to a new self.
