Artists Describing Their Art:

Cheryl Carr - I found painting at a later time in life than most. I have always been creative. Sketching was a favorite of mine. I started taking classes in oil painting in 2023. My instructor was amazing. I quickly moved on to find my passion for photo-realism. Portraits are a favorite of mine. I absolutely love recreating a photo in oil . I look for photos that speak to me. My greatest joy is in seeing the faces of people for whom I have created paintings. Their excitement is amazing to me I hope that you enjoy my paintings as much as I have enjoyed creating them....

Lora Vannoord - I am an artist originally from a small town in Michigan, where I started painting oil paintings while preparing for my retirement. I took online classes, found a wonderful art group in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exhibited my original paintings and sold my first oil painting. After retirement I moved to Florida. I started painting right away. The birds and trees that were all new to me. It was wonderful. I soon found more art classes and 3 art groups to join.

Michael Garr - I have been drawing and painting since Junior High. I enjoy quick art, impressionistic yet realistic, and minimal. There are interesting subjects all around us. My inspirations are architecture, people, light and shadow, the sea and boats, imagination... and the old masters. Get out and enjoy your surroundings. All my works are available as signed and numbered prints. I also do commission works, some examples of which are in the portfolio. I donate all proceeds to charity, and have recently teamed with SAVE THE BAY, a local Rhode Island eco-advocate organization, which receives 30 PER CENT of my proceeds. My opportunities for artistic expression have included drawing on napkins during airplane rides and waiting during my sons music lessons. In 2012 I took up oil painting for the first time, and my mentor is Lorena Pugh of North Kingstown. Ive done both Plein air and studio work in her presence, and am benefitting from the association. We have an informal group who meet and paint in Lorenas studio on Monday nights throughout the indoor season. I will continue to pursue art on a daily basis, and post the finished works here and on facebook for any and all to ...

Becky Soria - Subject matter in painting is merely the trigger that allows the expression of something more profound, unconscious and possibly hidden even from oneself, and therefore all inclusive, so viscerally immanent to humankind R. AlonzoTotems beyond Patriarchy May 2014 Nature has been qualified as a female organic form by most ancient cultures, but for the last millennia or so, the world has been primarily perceived and shaped by the masculine side of the species. Our recent history however has seen a trend towards a natural reversion to a feminine bias, with women becoming increasingly more crucial to all aspects of society. These works serve to remind us about these issues and others that we continue to face the world while reinventing the female figure as an emblem for current conditions and a new Totem for the future. The juxtaposition between the representations of the animals and plants in compromised an ailing conditions and the female form that seems to swallow and revive the life- infused aspects of her creation, render a sense of hope for a future in which the maternal provides a healing force to an ailing planet.Signs. Symbols. Sentinels February 2, 2013The works of the present exhibition are ...

Celina Mattar - I started painting when I was still a little girl. In high school I was a great student in English, math and drawing and my teacher was a Finnish nun. On Saturdays we painted still lifes, grapes, fruits and vegetables in general and when I was 12 years old, as I loved ballet, I painted two ballerinas that I still have today. At the age of 17 I wanted to go to Rio de Janeiro to study at some art school, but my father vetoed it and preferred to choose Emeric Mercier to be my teacher. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian painter naturalized in Brazil, today considered an icon in painting. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian artist who studied at the Accademia di Belli Arti de Brera Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy, from 1935 to 1938. In 1939, he attended the sculpture course at the A%0cole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts National School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1940, because of the Second World War 1939-1945, he traveled to Lisbon, where he stayed for a short time and spent time with the painters Arpad Szenes 1897-1985 and Vieira da Silva 1908-1992. ...
